Doctors at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital removed an 18.5 kg fibroid uterus, a tumour, from a 56-year-old woman on Tuesday. The woman was suffering for six years with multiple fibroids, one of which had expanded her abdomen, causing discomfort in day-to-day activities, restricted mobility, and pressure on surrounding organs.

The surgery was led by Dinesh Kansal, senior director and head of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Laparoscopic Surgery, along with a multidisciplinary team from urology, anaesthesia, and critical care.
