Post-surgery, Chauhan’s vital parameters are stable and he remains under observation of doctors, it said in a statement.
“Umesh Chauhan, who is undergoing treatment at KEM Hospital for a gunshot injury, underwent surgical retrieval of the bullet under general anaesthesia in the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery (CVTS) operation theatre at 8 am on October 21,” the city civic body said in a health update.
The procedure was performed by Dr Uday Eknath Jadhav, Head of Department of CVTS, and Dr Ram Prajapati, Head of Unit, Department of Surgery, KEM Hospital, it said.
According to the update, the content creator tolerated the procedure well and was subsequently shifted to the ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) Intensive Care Unit for postoperative observation and monitoring.
