LAHORE: A team of gynecologists at Lahore General Hospital (LGH) has successfully saved the life of Sumera Amjad, a 48-year-old mother of two, by performing a highly complex operation to remove a 25 kg tumor from her fibroid uterus.
The operation, which lasted five hours, was carried out by the skilled team of the Gynae Department Unit 3, including Dr. Shabnam Muhammad Ali, Dr. Maryam Zulfiqar, Dr. Nadia Sabeen, Dr. Aroosa, Dr. Sajida, and Dr. Usman.
According to LGH sources on Saturday, the patient had been suffering from severe abdominal pain and various gynecological issues for an extended period. Despite visiting hospitals, her condition continued to deteriorate. Eventually, she sought treatment at the Gynecology OPD of LGH, where Dr. Laila Shafiq and her expert team conducted comprehensive examinations and discovered the massive tumor in her uterus.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the medical team decided to proceed with the operation at LGH. The successful removal of the tumor not only saved Sumera Amjad’s life but also alleviated the agony she had endured for so long.
