Doctors in Indore successfully removed a 5.5‑kilogram abdominal tumor from a 14‑year‑old girl in a 45‑minute surgery, preserving her intestines and urinary tract.
A 14‑year‑old girl from Kharagpur was admitted to a hospital in Indore after doctors discovered a massive growth in her abdomen, described as being the size of a football and weighing about 5.5 kilograms. The tumor was identified as a complex mass that required immediate surgical intervention.
Surgeons performed a carefully planned operation that lasted roughly 45 minutes. During the procedure they were able to excise the entire tumor while preserving the large intestine, small intestine and the urinary conduit, thereby avoiding any permanent damage to essential organs.
According to the operating team, the rapid yet meticulous approach minimized blood loss and reduced the risk of postoperative complications. The patient is now in stable condition and is being monitored in the postoperative ward for recovery.
Medical staff have emphasized the importance of early detection of abdominal masses in adolescents, noting that timely intervention can significantly improve outcomes. The girl is expected to remain under observation for a few more days before being discharged with follow‑up instructions.
