Patient Experience
A 72-year-old retired tea plantation worker from Darjeeling presented with progressive hearing loss and tinnitus. Dr. Narjinary discovered a rare cholesteatoma eroding the ossicles. Using endoscopic ear surgery, he reconstructed the hearing mechanism with a titanium prosthesis. The patient, who lived alone, regained 80% hearing acuity after 6 weeks and could again participate in community gatherings.
An 8-year-old girl from a remote Sikkim village was brought by her teacher with chronic nasal obstruction. Dr. Narjinary found a lodged yak hair ornament deep in her nasal passage causing granuloma formation. Under local anesthesia, he performed meticulous removal using image guidance. The child returned to school within 48 hours with no complications.
A 45-year-old Nepali immigrant construction worker presented with sudden vocal paralysis after a fall. Dr. Narjinary diagnosed recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and initiated voice therapy combined with novel neuromodulation treatment. The patient's voice gradually returned over 3 months, allowing him to resume his livelihood.
A 33-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation developed a rapidly enlarging thyroid mass compressing her trachea. Dr. Narjinary coordinated with obstetricians to perform an emergency thyroidectomy under monitored anesthesia care. Both mother and baby recovered well, with delivery occurring normally at term.
A 17-year-old aspiring folk singer from Kalimpong presented with recurrent throat infections. Dr. Narjinary discovered an unusual anatomical variation causing chronic tonsillar crypt infections. He performed laser cryptolysis instead of traditional tonsillectomy, preserving vocal tissue. The patient returned to singing within 10 days.
A 68-year-old Bhutanese monk with diabetes presented with invasive fungal sinusitis that had eroded into the orbital cavity. Dr. Narjinary performed an extensive endoscopic debridement and instituted novel antifungal irrigation therapy. After 6 months of treatment, the infection resolved without vision loss.
A 12-year-old boy from a low-income family was brought with a sewing needle embedded in his hypopharynx after accidentally swallowing it while holding it in his mouth. Dr. Narjinary used advanced fluoroscopic guidance to remove it transorally without open surgery. The family's entire savings were preserved as the procedure was covered under hospital charity care.
A 55-year-old hotel chef presented with complete anosmia following a head injury. Dr. Narjinary diagnosed post-traumatic olfactory nerve damage and initiated a unique olfactory training protocol using local spices. Partial smell recognition returned after 8 weeks, allowing the patient to resume his profession.
A 29-year-old IT professional developed sudden sensorineural hearing loss after COVID-19 infection. Dr. Narjinary administered intratympanic steroid injections within the critical 48-hour window. The patient recovered 95% of hearing function and returned to work within 2 weeks.
A 6-month-old infant from a tribal community was brought with congenital stridor. Dr. Narjinary diagnosed laryngomalacia and performed supraglottoplasty using micro-instruments. The parents were trained in postoperative care, and the child's breathing normalized completely within a month.
An 81-year-old grandmother presented with a 50-year history of chronic ear discharge. Dr. Narjinary discovered an ancient, calcified foreign body that had migrated into the mastoid. Using robotic-assisted surgery, he removed the object and reconstructed the ear canal. The patient experienced her first dry ear in half a century.
A 39-year-old mountaineer presented with barotrauma-induced perilymph fistula after a rapid Himalayan descent. Dr. Narjinary performed exploratory tympanotomy and fistula repair using fat graft technique. The patient returned to high-altitude climbing after 3 months with proper pressure-equalization training.
A 22-year-old college student developed recurrent epistaxis from a hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Dr. Narjinary used argon plasma coagulation to treat the nasal telangiectasias and initiated targeted medical therapy. The bleeding episodes reduced by 90%, allowing the student to complete her studies uninterrupted.
