Bhubaneswar,swa news : In a major boost to advanced surgical care, a state-of-the-art CO2 laser machine for ENT and cancer surgeries was inaugurated today at the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) by the Founder of KIIT, KISS, and KIMS, Dr. Achyuta Samanta.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Kabikanta Samantaray, Head of the Department of ENT, highlighted the wide-ranging capabilities of the new equipment. “The CO2 laser is one of the most advanced tools in ENT and cancer surgery. With this latest and best-in-class technology, we can perform all types of microsurgeries, including voice surgeries and complex vocal cord procedures,” he said.
Dr. Samantaray explained that the laser allows for precise, bloodless operations, especially in tongue, cheek, and vocal cord cancers. It is particularly effective for both early-stage and advanced cancers. “This technology ensures better outcomes and faster recovery for patients,” he added.
Affordability and accessibility are key priorities at KIMS. “While people often travel to cities like Mumbai or Delhi for laser surgeries—incurring high treatment and accommodation costs—we are now offering the same high-quality laser surgeries here at KIMS for just Rs 30,000,” Dr. Samantaray stated.
The laser-based treatments will be available 24×7, providing continuous care for patients in need. “There is a growing demand for laser surgery, and with this facility, we aim to offer enhanced quality of life through precise and minimally invasive treatment,” he affirmed.
Senior functionaries of KIMS were present at the inaugural function. They included KIMS Principal Prof Dr R C Das, Medical Superintendent Dr Manas Ranjan Behera and others.
