Under the supervision of medical superintendent Dr. Rakesh Joshi, a multidisciplinary team at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital completed a high‑risk esophageal reconstruction for a 2.5‑year‑old boy named Mantavya. The operation involved creating a new esophageal conduit using part of the stomach, a technique known as gastric pull‑up. Anesthesia specialists Dr. Aditi and Dr. Sonal Bhalavat assisted throughout the procedure. Post‑operative monitoring showed rapid recovery, and the child was discharged in stable condition after eating normally for the first time.
