Every day someone with asthma misses work or school. Every year, about 2, 50, 000 people die from this disease throughout the world and these numbers are growing alarmingly. According to WHO estimates, by 2025, there could be upto 100 million more asthmatics. In India too, this disease debilitates a significant number of people.

The operation takes about an hour and is repeated over a month and two. In the experimental stage, this could be a new option for severe asthmatics whose symptoms can't be brought under control with drug therapies...
