A urologist from the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir has set a record for removing 392 grams of prostate, the largest reported in India so far, an official from a private hospital here said.
The technology behind long-distance surgery is now dependable enough to be used more widely, proven by Dr Shahnawaz, a resident of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district by removing a 392-gram prostate from a patient thus setting an example in the field.
Dr Shabir, an anesthetist who was in the team of doctors during the surgery, said that the surgery was done on a high-risk patient but with their dedication and grace of God, the surgery went nicely and they succeeded in removing the 392-gram prostate from the patient.
The doctor told Kashmir Despatch: “I was asked by many people about the size of the prostate that can be called big. With the grace of Allah we have removed a 392-gram prostate from a patient (the largest reported in India) during a surgery done in a Kashmir hospital.”
