Extremely Unsafe Practices and Poor Emergency Response. We consulted Dr. Abhilash Nali, practicing at Laparoscopy & Laser Clinic, Kondapur, for my father’s (65 years) laparoscopic epigastric hernia surgery. All pre-surgery health check-up parameters were completed in advance and were completely normal. The surgery was performed by Dr. Abhilash Nali at Apollo Spectra, Kondapur on 16 June 2025, and my father was discharged the very next day. For the first three days post-surgery, he appeared normal. Later, he began complaining of abdominal pain and we assumed this was part of the normal recovery process. During our post-surgery consultation, the doctor suggested waiting a couple of days and did not mention that infection from the mesh was a possible complication. The very next day, his pain worsened severely, when we called the hospital staff for urgent help, we were told the doctor was in another surgery and would only be available the next day. At least staff did not advise us to bring him to the hospital for immediate review with doctor, directly saying come tomorrow for review with doctor. We eventually had to rush him to a different hospital in a critical condition, where the cause was correctly diagnosed and emergency surgery was performed on 28-June-2025 to remove the infected mesh and to control the infection. This was happened due to the use of unsterilized surgical equipment, My Father contracted a severe fungal infection that spread to multiple organs, including the lungs and liver. My Father has to be in ICU for 15 days because of high CRP levels ( Went up to 400, normal range is <10) spo2 and levels are lower. Luckily I have found another good doctor in timely to treat my father and Yes he is completely Normal now after struggling 20 days with strong anti biotic injections and hospital stay who not even admitted for more than 2 days during their entire 65 years of age. This was not an unavoidable complication — it was the direct result of negligence in following basic sterilization protocols, coupled with poor emergency response from the initial hospital’s staff. We suffered a lot because of this improper treatment mentally, and Financially. I sincerely hope Dr. Abhilash ensures proper equipment sterilization and patient care in the future so no other family has to go through this. I was not blaming blindly has attaching the discharge summary and few of the reports.
