Mysore/Mysuru: A 60-year-old male patient got a new lease of life due to efforts of a team of doctors from Cauvery Heart and Multispeciality Hospital in Mysuru. A resident of Hunsur, the patient visited the hospital with complaints of pain in the right lower abdomen and distension of the abdomen. He was thoroughly evaluated and necessary investigations were done.
He also underwent a CECT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. The scan revealed a large retroperitoneal tumour measuring 30x28x35 cm. The right kidney was completely displaced upwards and the right ureter was traversing through the tumour, with hydro-ureteronephrosis. The patient underwent a major surgery — exploratory laparotomy and resection of the mass and an en-bloc right nephro-urterectomy.
