Saralnama

Doctors at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Hospital in Jaipur removed a 5kg tumor from an 84-year-old woman's abdomen. The large retroperitoneal tumor, measuring 25x20cm, was pressing on blood vessels and ureters, causing kidney swelling and blocking bowel movements. Four private hospitals had refused surgery due to the patient's age. Dr. Mukesh Sharma led a team of doctors in the risky 4-hour operation. They made a 10cm incision and removed the uterus as the tumor was attached to it. The elderly patient had initially come to the hospital with complaints of difficulty in urination and bowel movements. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 17:34 IST; source: link)
