Hyderabad: Urologists at Kamineni Hospitals, LB Nagar on Wednesday said that they have successfully conducted a surgery on a 64-year-male patient, who had a tumour roughly the size of a large papaya in his right kidney. Following a complex surgery, the surgeons gave a new lease of life to the patient Bhaskar Rao, a resident of Narasapuram, West Godavari.

The patient gained belly fat and experienced discomfort for almost 6 months. He was suffering from a dull ache in the right side of his abdomen. The patient had to undergo an ultrasound in which a renal tumour was diagnosed.

Three fourth of the right kidney of the patient got totally damaged and doctors removed it through open surgery as that kidney was not suitable for normal functioning. However, the left kidney is functioning normally and creatinine levels are normal.
