Ranchi, Nov 27: A team of neurosurgeons at Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) Ranchi, led by Dr Anand Prakash, successfully performed critical surgery to save Mangal Munda, Bhagwan Birsa Munda’s great-grandson.
Mangal Munda was injured in an accident on November 25 on the Khunti-Tamar Road and was referred to RIMS Ranchi on November 26 in critical condition.
Under the leadership of Dr Anand Prakash, the neurosurgery unit conducted a four-hour-long marathon surgery to stabilise Munda’s condition. Although his condition remained serious and he was placed on ventilation, the surgery was successful, offering hope for his survival.

The surgical team included Dr Saurabh Besra, Dr Vikash Kumar, Dr Rahul Mali, Dr Rashmi, Dr Tushar, Dr Alka (anaesthesia), and OT assistants Sunil and Vineeta, all under the guidance of Dr Anand Prakash.
Munda suffered a major brain injury, with blood clots on both sides of the brain due to the severe trauma from the accident, which required immediate surgery.
“Operation was ample and complex. However, we took the situation as a challenge, and after four hours of marathon operation, we succeeded. The blood clot was removed from the brain by operating on both sides,” said Dr Anand Prakash.
