In a historic medical achievement, Dr. Mir Sammiullah, a distinguished surgeon from Kashmir , has made history by setting a world record for performing the fastest laparoscopic cholecystectomy. He successfully completed the minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery in just 2 minutes and 38 seconds, breaking the previous record of 2 minutes and 55 seconds, as recognized by the International Book of Records.
The record-setting procedure was performed on a female patient from Kupwara district, who was suffering from multiple gallstones. The surgery was carried out with utmost precision and safety, and the patient recovered successfully — a testament to Dr. Sammiullah’s exceptional skill and medical expertise.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a delicate and time-sensitive procedure that requires high levels of coordination, surgical accuracy, and confidence. Performing it in under three minutes without compromising patient safety is an extraordinary accomplishment that reflects years of training and dedication.
Expressing his happiness over the recognition, Dr. Mir Sammiullah credited his success to his mentors, his medical team, and the support of his patients. “This achievement is the result of teamwork and continuous learning. I dedicate this record to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and to the spirit of medical innovation in India,” he said.
The International Book of Records commended Dr. Sammiullah’s performance, calling it an “extraordinary demonstration of surgical speed, precision, and professional mastery.”
Dr. Sammiullah’s remarkable achievement not only brings pride to Jammu and Kashmir but also places India firmly on the global map of advanced laparoscopic surgery. His accomplishment stands as an inspiration for young doctors and surgeons aspiring to combine speed, accuracy, and compassion in the field of medicine.
