Nayati Medicity achieves yet another milestone in the history of medical surgery by successfully performing rare Whipple’s surgery on a road traffic accident victim in Mathura. 20 year old, Balkrishna was brought in to the emergency unit of Nayati Medicity with severe abdominal injuries because of which the left lobe of his liver was shattered, his pancreas had ruptured into two parts in the pancreatic head area (complete laceration) with free-floating bile duct.
