In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Dr. Cyriac Pappachan of The Lifeline Hospital, Adoor, Kerala, has set a new record for removing the largest multiple fibroid uterus through laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive, keyhole surgery). The remarkable procedure involved the removal of a 40-week size multiple fibroid uterus, weighing a total of 4.420 kg.
The successful surgery, which lasted for 6 hours, was performed by Dr. Pappachan and his skilled surgical team at The Lifeline Multi-Speciality Hospital, showcasing the hospital’s advanced capabilities in minimally invasive procedures. The fibroid uterus, which had grown to a size equivalent to a full-term pregnancy, was removed without the need for traditional open surgery, significantly reducing recovery time and risk for the patient.
Speaking about the procedure, Dr. Pappachan noted, “This achievement underscores the power of modern laparoscopic techniques, which allow us to perform complex surgeries with minimal disruption to the body. The success of this surgery marks a milestone in our commitment to providing cutting-edge healthcare solutions.”
The surgery was confirmed to have set a new record on January 13, 2023, highlighting the expertise of Dr. Pappachan and his team in handling high-risk, high-complexity medical cases.
