Expressing his gratitude, Dr. Das remarked, “This was more than a medical success—it was a testament to teamwork, trust, and dedication. We thank the patient’s family for their faith and AIIMS Bhubaneswar for its exceptional support.” He also acknowledged the Executive Director, Dr. Ashutosh Biswas, and Dr. Prasant Nayak, Head of Urology, for their continuous encouragement.
