Doctors at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) have successfully removed a massive 4-kilogram liver tumour from a patient in a complex seven-hour operation.
This marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s capacity to handle advanced surgical cases locally. The success of the procedure is expected to boost confidence in Kenya’s referral healthcare system and reinforce KNH’s position as a regional centre for advanced surgical care.
The procedure, a right hepatectomy, was performed during a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgical Camp held at KNH from June 10 to 12, 2026.
