A CT scan of her abdomen showed a huge fibroid that was occupying the entire abdomen that damaged her uterus. After thorough planning by the expert team at Promed Hospital, the patient was taken for surgery, intraoperatively, the mass turned out to be a uterine fibroid a  type of noncancerous tumor and was removed completely through a Laparotomy procedure. The weight of the excised mass was about 6kg. The weight of the patient was 56 kg prior to surgery and post-surgery she weighed only 48kg.  Post the surgery the patient was comfortable and relieved from all symptoms.

It was a high-risk surgery as the size of the tumor was huge and completely occupied the abdomen of the patient, our expert team had successfully removed the tumor and ensured minimal pain to the patient said Dr. Spoorthi Arun, MD, Promed Hospital. Uterine fibroids are mainly non-cancerous tumors and affect women belonging to reproductive age. Women should undergo regular health check-up which helps in the early detection of potentially life-threatening health disorders or diseases, lowering the chance of surgery and other chronic medical conditions added, Dr. Spoorthi.

My wife had the best care, and we are grateful to the physicians and the entire staff at Promed Hospital who gave her a new lease of life and helped her to resume her normal activities without any problems or complications said, Patient’s Husband.
