FIRST-EVER LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY FOR PANCREATIC CANCER PERFORMED IN MIZORAM

Lamtluang Online News, February 24, 2026: A Gastroenterology training programme and Surgical Workshop was held today (February 24, 2026) at Zoram Medical College and Hospital, Falkawn, Mizoram. The workshop was jointly organised by the Department of Surgery, ZMC&H, and the Association of Surgeons of Mizoram. During the programme, Mizoram witnessed its first-ever laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic cancer.

As part of the Gastroenterology training, visiting doctors from Manipal Hospital, Salt Lake performed procedures related to pancreatic cancer. In collaboration with Dr Benjamine Khiangte, Medical Gastroenterologist (Gastro & Liver Clinic), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) procedures were provided free of cost to eight selected patients in need.

Notably, this marked the first time that EUS has been conducted in a government hospital in Mizoram. Doctors of ZMC&H highlighted the importance of the EUS equipment, stating that many patients are currently referred outside the state for such procedures. They expressed hope that once the facility becomes fully available in government hospitals, it will significantly reduce the difficulties faced by patients seeking advanced treatment.

The programme was attended by Prof Zoramthara Zadeng, Director; Prof Lalnunmawii Sailo, Medical Superintendent; and Prof C. Vanlalhlua, Sub-Dean (Hospital), who also extended gratitude to the visiting team from Manipal Hospital. It was further stated that under MUHCS, patients can avail themselves of medical services free of charge.

The workshop concluded in the evening with a Continuing Medical Education (CME) seminar. Discussions focused on advancements in Gastroenterology and the future prospects for Mizoram. The session was chaired by Dr Samuel Lalhruaizela, Associate Professor. Prof John Lalliandinga, Head of the Department of Surgery, ZMCH, delivered the vote of thanks. Surgeons from across Mizoram and doctors from ZMCH attended the programme.
