Doctors at Osmania General Hospital in Hyderabad, India, successfully removed a massive 7 kg benign ovarian cyst from a 38-year-old woman named Vandana. She had been experiencing tightness, swelling, and a lump in her abdomen for eight months. Tests showed that she had a tumor in her ovary. The surgery was conducted free of charge under the supervision of Dr. B Raju, Head of Unit-4, General Surgery, OGH.
The surgery usually costs Rs 6-7 lakh in private hospitals, but Vandana received it for free. On May 27, OGH surgeons performed an excision of the ovarian cyst and a total abdominal hysterectomy, which lasted over four hours. Post-surgery, Vandana started walking and remains active on her own. The complex surgery was led by Dr. B Raju and supported by other doctors from the Surgery Unit (4) and the Anesthesiology department.
Dr. B Nagender, the OGH Superintendent, praised the team for performing the surgery without charge for Vandana’s family.
