Index Super Speciality Hospital, Indore, achieved a remarkable medical milestone by successfully performing a complex surgery to remove a massive ovarian tumor from a 36-year-old female patient, giving her a new lease on life. The tumor, weighing approximately 6.3 kilograms and comparable in size to a newborn baby, was exerting pressure on the patient’s intestines, causing severe discomfort and pain. The intricate surgery lasted nearly three hours and was led by senior gynecologist Dr. Deepika Verma. The core surgical team included Dr. Namrata Shrivastava and Dr. Nazia Noor, along with dedicated support from other team members and the anesthesia experts, ensuring a safe and successful outcome.

The patient, a resident of Bagli, had been suffering from abnormal menstrual cycles for the past six months. Over the last two months, she experienced persistent abdominal swelling, with severe pain developing in the past month. Detailed investigations revealed a large ovarian tumor measuring approximately 27 centimeters, along with two fibroids in the uterus measuring 6 cm and 3.1 cm, further complicating the condition. Considering the severity, the medical team promptly decided to proceed with surgery. The tumor was carefully removed intact, without rupture, and the uterus was also safely removed as required. The excised tumor has been sent for histopathological examination. Currently, the patient is stable and recovering well.

According to medical experts, an ovarian tumor is an abnormal growth in the ovary that can be either benign or malignant. Factors such as hormonal imbalance, recurrent ovarian cysts, and conditions like PCOD may contribute to its development. Common symptoms include abdominal swelling, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and changes in menstrual patterns. Doctors emphasize that symptoms like persistent bloating for more than 2–3 weeks, continuous or worsening abdominal pain, sudden changes in periods, or a noticeable lump should never be ignored. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications. Index Super Speciality Hospital remains committed to delivering advanced healthcare services with expert care and precision.
