Hyderabad: Doctors at Care Hospitals, Hitec City, on Wednesday announced they have successfully performed a complex surgical procedure to remove a 35 cm ovarian tumor from a 59-year-old woman, a native of Vemulawada. The tumor had grown silently over the past few months and occupied a significant portion of the abdominal cavity.
The patient had been experiencing gradual abdominal swelling and discomfort, which began to affect her daily life before she sought medical attention. Tests revealed a large multiloculated ovarian tumor, suspected to be of ovarian origin.
The patient underwent a staging laparotomy, which included right ovarian tumor excision, left oophorectomy, and infracolic omentectomy as part of comprehensive oncological management, Dr Y Yugandar Reddy, senior surgical oncologist, who led the surgery, said. Post-surgery, the patient has recovered and was recently discharged.
