After recovering from the Coronavirus Epidemic, five people have faced the problem of gangrene in the gallbladder. However, the gall bladder of all the five patients has been removed through laparoscopic surgery. These five patients have been successfully treated at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital between June and August.

Dr. Anil Arora, President, Institute of Liver, Gastroenterology and Pancreaticobiliary Sciences at the hospital said, “We successfully treated five such patients between June and August. After recovering from Kovid-19, these patients had severe inflammation in the gall bladder without stones, which led to the problem of gangrene in the gall bladder. In such a situation, immediate surgery is required.' He claimed that this is the first time that cases of gangrene in the gall bladder have been reported after recovering from Kovid-19 infection. Of these five patients, four are male and one female, aged between 37 and 75 years.

Gangrene is a disease in which tissues in some parts of the body start to get destroyed, causing wounds there that spread continuously. All the patients had complained of fever, pain in the upper right side of the abdomen and vomiting. Two of them had diabetes and one had heart disease. These patients had taken steroids in the treatment of Kovid-19.

There was a gap of two months between the symptoms of the Kovid-19 epidemic and the period of detection of gangrene disease in the gall bladder. The disease was detected through abdominal ultrasound and CT scan. Dr. Arora told that all the patients underwent laparoscopic surgery and the gall bladder was removed.
