Pune: First Urology Surgery Successfully Performed At PCMC'S New Thergaon Hospital
Pimpri, August 29, 2025: The new Thergaon Hospital under the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has successfully completed its first major urology surgery, marking a milestone for the civic healthcare facility.
The patient, a 64-year-old with multiple kidney masses, was also suffering from diabetic ketoacidosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction, making the case highly complex. Prior to surgery, the anaesthesia and medicine teams worked in close coordination to stabilize the patient’s condition.
General anaesthesia was administered by Dr. Archana Gandhi, Dr. Pooja Kulkarni, Dr. Poonam Mane, and Dr. Arjit Repuriya. The procedure was skillfully performed by urosurgeons Dr. Sunil Palwe and Dr. Hanumant Phad, who successfully removed a 10 x 10 cm mass located near the upper and lower portions of the kidney.
The operation was conducted under the guidance of Health Medical Officer Dr. Laxman Gophane and Additional Health Medical Officer Dr. Abhaychandra Dadewar, with significant contributions from Hospital Chief Dr. Rajendra Phirke, Dr. Sanjay Sonekar, OT technicians, and nursing staff.
Additional Municipal Commissioner Vijaykumar Khorate stated that such advanced surgeries highlight PCMC’s commitment to providing modern medical facilities at civic hospitals, ensuring high-quality healthcare for local residents.
