The team of doctors who performed the operation interacted with the woman and kept her awake to supervise her speech and body movements.
Belief in God is the greatest of all things and we all look up to him God in need. This was once again proved when a 24-year-old woman recited devotional verses from the Hanuman Chalisa inside an operating room. Delhi AIIMS witnessed the unusual incident on July 23.
The woman was undergoing complex brain surgery in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi where doctors operated upon her to successfully remove a tumour from her brain.
During the entire three-hour-long operation, the patient remained awake and recited the entire 40 verses of the Hanuman Chalisa, even as doctors at the premier hospital's Department of Neurosurgery were performing the complex operation.
Dr Deepak Gupta who was part of the operating team said that the woman was given local anesthesia injections for scalp block and painkiller medicines.
The team of doctors who performed the operation interacted with the woman and kept her awake to supervise her speech and body movements.
The patient who aspires to be a school teacher is currently under medical supervision at the hospital and will be discharged on Saturday.
AIIMS has over the last 20 years carried out many 'awake craniotomies' or surgeries in which patients are kept awake to ensure that critical areas of their brain are not damaged.
More than 500 such procedures must have been completed in 20 years, according to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) authorities.
Nowadays, quick recovery and discharge are possible in the majority of such cases. Patients with tumors near eloquent areas (motor and speech areas) benefit from such surgeries.
