Restoring Breathing with Complex Airway Surgery | Dr. E V Raman | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

Meet Mrs. N Lakshmi and her brave little boy Baby Guru Kiran, from Talur, Bellary District, Karnataka, who faced a challenging start in life with congenital airway and breathing issues. The baby was initially treated by inserting a pipe to facilitate breathing through a hole in his throat and referred to Dr. E V Raman, Consultant – Ear, Nose, and Throat at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru. Dr. Raman identified a critical blockage in the windpipe and voice box, with occluded vocal cords. With expert precision, he performed a life-changing surgery to expand the vocal cords and airway, giving the baby the chance to breathe and thrive.
