Manipal Hospital doctors perform rare nerve tumour surgery

A successful surgical procedure was carried out at Manipal Hospital, Goa, on a 50-year-old woman to address a nerve tumor in her leg. The surgical team, led by Dr. Omkar Churi, Consultant Neurosurgeon, and Dr. Amey Pednekar, Consultant Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, both affiliated with Manipal Hospital, Goa, executed the operation with precision.

The patient had been experiencing severe shooting pain in her leg, along with mild weakness. Initially, her symptoms began as pain during extended periods of walking, but over the course of a year, they escalated, even causing discomfort at rest. She also noticed the emergence of a growing mass in her calf, which eventually led to mild leg weakness.
