Doctors at a hospital in Kolkata have successfully treated a 66-year-old female patient from Bangladesh to give her a new lease of life in a complex case.

The doctors at Manipal Hospital in Mukundapur performed a bilateral total knee replacement surgery under the supervision of Dr Sutanu Hazra, senior consultant & HOD – Orthopaedics, at the hospital. 

The patient had been wheelchair-bound for years due to crippling knee pain, and she has developed chronic kidney failure caused by prolonged and unsupervised use of over-the-counter painkillers to manage her knee discomfort.
