Coimbatore: Doctors remove 33.5 kg ovarian tumor, eye world record
Doctors at a Coimbatore based hospital have successfully removed an ovarian tumor weighing 33.5kgs. The patient, Vasantha, is an agricultural laborer from Ooty. She ignored the growing size of her stomach as she felt no pain or discomfort but was compelled to take medical help as her abdomen became larger with time and she started experiencing pain. Local surgeons, after conducting necessary tests, concluded that she has an ovarian tumor; however they refused to undertake a surgery citing slim chances of survival for Vasantha . "Pain was the main cause and it was unbearable. I was not able to walk, not able to have proper food and also suffered from breathlessness. Then I finally decided to visit a doctor," said the patient. She got to know about a Coimbatore based hospital, where a team of doctors, including Dr. Senthil Kumar, Dr. Piyush, Dr. Anita, and Dr. Satish Kumar, successfully removed her tumor.
