Dr. Mishra has performed surgery without delay and life of the patient was saved.
Mr. was admitted in the hospital on 26th April and, same day surgery was performed. It was a two-and-a-half-hour complicated surgery; the mass was successfully removed by a team of Dr. R.K. Mishra, Dr. Sanjay Sharma and Dr. Anil Arora.

“It was a complicated surgery considering his age and the fact that his haemoglobin count was low,” said Dr Mishra. “Also, the tumour was retroperitoneal and surrounding aorta and both the kidney.

‘It pushed everything aside and was pressing the aorta and kidney, creating vascular and respiratory problems,’ surgeon Dr. Mishra stated. ‘The operation was complicated by the size of the tumour and during this the patient received four packages of blood transfusion.’
Tumours of that size are almost always benign, but can kill by severing circulation or increasing pressure on sensitive parts of the body.

“It was removed from the Retroperitoneum after separating the Kidney, Spleen, Large intestine, Aorta and Vena Cava. We also repaired the bowel and other surrounding structure,” said Dr. Mishra. “We will send the tumour to the histopathology to find out if it was cancerous.”
