Mumbai surgeon comes to rescue of pellet-hit
Renowned
retina surgeon from Mumbai Dr S Natrajan is back in the Valley to
perform more vitrectomies (retina surgeries) on victims hit by pellets
in eyes.
After performing retinal surgeries on pellet victims in Ophthalmology Department SMHS Hospital for free earlier this month, Borderless World Foundation Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is once again organizing free retinal surgery camp for pellet victims in the Valley.
Hospital sources told Mumbai Mirror that Dr Natarajan is planning around sixty surgeries in four days, and on his second visit to SMHS Hospital in connection with the treatment of pellet victims whose eyes needed specialized surgeries, which he has earlier promised to come to Kashmir every month to treat and follow up the pellet cases.
"The pellet injuries are extremely bad and they are very young, so the surgeries are very tough. At this mass scale I have never seen such type of injuries," Dr Natarajan told Mirror.
He said retina surgeries are required in most victims whose eyes are perforated by pellets due to the damage that these cause to retina. Retina is the inner tissue layer of eye which is sensitive to light.
"We are repairing the damaged eyes but the recovery will depend on the extent of damage and the follow-up treatment. Eye surgeries for pellet injuries are carried out in stages and each victim has to undergo a number of surgeries over a period of time," he said
Dr Natarajan said that I wish the situation improves and I don't have to come back and I have given an offer to the Jammu and Kashmir Government that I can be an advisor and make sure that department is running on its own and make center of excellence for managing the injuries, and I can teach here.
"I am here waiting for Dr Natarajan, last time he had operated me, and now i had come for the treatment again. Natarajan had given second life to me, and now I owe him a lot," a pellet victim Atif said.
Borderlss World Foundation team has requested all the voluntary organizations and other organizations across the Valley to share this information within their localities so that maximum victims are provided with the specialized treatment.
Around 500 people with pellet injuries in eyes were received by the hospital over the period of 46 days, after the protests broke out all over Kashmir Valley following the killing Hizbul Mujahiddin Commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani on 8th July.
