PATNA: Doctors of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences-Patna (AIIMS-P) operated on a 15-year-old Jamui girl on Friday and removed a brain tumour weighing 5kg after an eight-hour surgery. The 25X25cm tumour covered a large area of the outer head region too.
The tumour exerted a lot of pressure on the girl’s head and caused agonising pain. She was admitted to the AIIMS-P three weeks ago in a severe anaemic condition with 4% haemoglobin and underwent blood transfusion before surgery.
She was put on medication and brought to the operation theatre on Friday morning.
The head of the department of neurosurgery, Dr Vikas Chandra Jha, who led the surgical team, told this reporter on Saturday that the patient was stable and recovering fast.
Earlier, a 13-year-old boy and a 65-year-old woman were operated on and their tumours removed using a robotic arm at the AIIMS-P. Jha said, “The robotic technology finds the safest path of moving through the brain.”
The team of doctors included Rajnish, Sarsij, Neeraj and Sahnawaz.
