8.5 kg Large Mass removed from ovary of 13-year-old girl at Manipal Hospital
Gurugram: The girl from Gurugram, a student in the 9th standard, was presented to Manipal Hospital, Gurugram, after experiencing significant abdominal distention and mild discomfort that had been ongoing for approximately three months.
Despite these symptoms, the patient was able to maintain a good appetite and perform her daily activities normally.
An initial ultrasound revealed a large mass occupying much of her abdomen. A CT scan confirmed the presence of a 8.5 kg large mass in her right ovary.
The doctors led by Dr Sharmila Solanki – Consultant, Obstetrics & Gynecology opted for an exploratory laparotomy — the surgical procedure under general anaesthesia essential for directly examining the abdominal organs and determining the extent and spread of the disease.
During the operation, a specific procedure called Salpingo-oophorectomy was also performed on the right side, which involved the removal of the ovary and fallopian tube.
