Gurugram Surgeons Remove 10 Kg Abdominal Tumor After 15 Years
Imagine a person had a very, very big lump inside their tummy for a really long time, about 15 years!
This lump grew so large, it weighed as much as a big bag of potatoes, around 10 kilograms, and stretched from low down to near their lungs.
It made the person very sick and tired because it was squishing important things inside and making their blood levels very low.
They had tried other doctors before, but the lump wouldn't go away.
So, doctors at a hospital in Gurugram decided to do a very special and careful operation.
It was a tricky surgery because the lump was pushing on big blood tubes, so they had to be extra cautious.
During the operation, they gave the person some extra blood to keep them strong.
Happily, the doctors were able to take out the huge lump!
The person is now resting in the hospital and getting better after this big surgery.
Surgeons at Artemis Hospital in Gurugram removed a 10 kg abdominal tumor from a 39-year-old woman.
The tumor had been growing for 15 years and extended from the suprapubic area to the diaphragm.
The massive tumor caused severe anemia, with the patient's hemoglobin level dropping to 4.5 gm/dl.
The surgery was high-risk due to the tumor pressing on major blood vessels like the inferior vena cava and aorta.
The patient is recovering well in the intensive care unit after the successful, complicated procedure.
