Doctors at the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) in Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital have successfully operated a female newborn with “Bilateral Choanal Atresia”, which is a congenital disorder referring to the complete blockage of the back of the nasal passage.
ENT Surgeon, Dr. Rajendran Dinesh Kumar, repaired the blockage by Nasal Septal Cross-Over Flap Technique by Endoscopic Surgical Repair, which is completely scar less, stent less surgery.
Newborn withstood the procedure well and was under Neonatal ICU care, subsequently breastfed 5 days after the surgery without any respiratory distress. Endoscopic examinations 2 weeks after surgery showed the choana to be free of blockage. Regular clinical and nasal endoscopic examination has been planned during follow up visits to the hospital for child’s routine care and vaccination sessions.

Republic Day is the day when India marks and celebrates the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950. This replaced the Government of India Act 1935 as the governing document of India, thus turning the nation into a republic separate from British Raj. Ever since the historic day, January 26 is celebrated with festivities and patriotic fervor all around the country. Thereafter 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and was recognized as the Republic Day of India.
RRMCH also celebrated the Republic Day with importance and patriotism by hosting the flag with all due respect.
In order to encourage more young voters to take part in the political process, Government of India has decided to celebrate January 25 every year as “National Voters’ Day”. It has been started from 25 January 2011 to mark the foundation day of Election Commission of India. The new voters would be provided with a badge with its logo “Proud to be a voter – Ready to vote”.
