Pune, Maharashtra – In a remarkable medical feat, DPU Super Specialty Hospital in Pimpri, Pune, has successfully conducted a complex surgery to remove a rare 22cm water-filled abdominal cyst, saving the life of a 32-year-old female patient. Suffering from a congenital tumor known as lymphangioma for nearly five years, the patient underwent the life-saving surgery on 21st November 2023, under the expertise of Dr. Samir Gupta, Head of Department for Surgical Oncology, and Dr. Prashant Chandra, Consultant Onco Surgeon.
The patient had been enduring severe pain and discomfort due to the tumor, which had been gradually expanding since birth. The surgery, lasting four hours, posed unique challenges due to the extraordinary size of the cyst and its proximity to vital abdominal organs, including the kidney, intestine, and liver. The meticulous procedure resulted in the patient’s complete recovery, allowing her to be discharged just five days after the surgery on 28th November 2023.
