World's Largest Prostate Removed via Robotic Surgery in Mumbai
Doctors in Mumbai performed a special surgery using a robot to remove a very large prostate from a 70-year-old man.
The prostate weighed 550 grams, which is the largest ever removed using this method.
The man had been having trouble peeing and getting infections for a long time.
Normally, this kind of surgery would be very risky for him because he also had heart problems.
But the doctors used a robot to help them be very precise and careful.
The surgery went well, and the man is now feeling much better.
The doctors say this shows how important it is to get checked by a doctor if you have problems like this.
Doctors in Mumbai successfully removed a 550-gram prostate using robotic surgery, setting a world record.
The patient, a 70-year-old man, had been suffering from urinary obstruction and infections for six years.
Traditional surgery was too risky due to the patient's heart conditions and the size of the prostate.
The surgery was completed in 2 hours and 55 minutes with minimal complications.
The patient recovered well and resumed his normal routine post-surgery.
