<p>Mumbai: A 41-year-old woman from Thane has successfully undergone a complex surgical procedure to remove a massive 2.5-kilogram haemangioma from her liver at Jupiter Lifeline Hospital in Thane.</p><p>The rare and challenging surgery was performed by a highly skilled medical team, ensuring a positive outcome for the patient.</p><p>The woman, who prefers to remain anonymous, had been unknowingly living with the condition for years.</p><p>Haemangiomas are benign tumours composed of blood vessels and typically remain small and asymptomatic. However, in this case, the tumour grew significantly, leading to persistent abdominal discomfort and early satiety.</p><p>Dr Gaurav Patel, the lead surgeon on the case, highlighted the complexities involved in the procedure. “Haemangiomas of this size are extremely rare, and their removal requires meticulous surgical planning. The risks of complications are high, but through careful execution and precision, we were able to successfully remove the tumour while preserving the liver’s function,” said Dr Patel.</p><p>The surgery lasted over four hours and involved advanced techniques to minimise risks and facilitate a smooth recovery.</p><p>Dr Ankush Golhar, who assisted in the procedure, emphasised the importance of preserving liver functionality. “Our primary focus was to ensure that the patient’s liver remained fully functional post-surgery. We are pleased with the outcome, and her recovery has been remarkable.”</p><p>The patient responded exceptionally well to the surgery and was discharged just five days later. “The support from my doctors, nurses, and family has been incredible. I feel so much better now, and I’m looking forward to resuming my normal life without pain,” she said.</p><p>Liver haemangiomas are often detected incidentally during imaging tests for unrelated conditions.
