Mysuru: A 24-year-old married woman, who was diagnosed with borderline ovarian tumour by ultrasound at an infertility clinic in Bengaluru prior to her marriage, had undergone a tumour removal surgery. A year later, she went to a fertility specialist as she was anxious to conceive.
In view of her previous biopsy report, she was advised to undergo surgery which required the removal of uterus and ovary. Patient and her family were distressed and consulted her gynaecologist in Mysuru who referred them to Dr. Nivedita Shetty, who heads the Reproductive Department at Columbia Asia Hospital here. Dr.Nivedita then counselled them and suggested the option of undergoing a surgery which would preserve her child bearing capacity. The fertility surgery was planned by Dr. Roopesh, Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Columbia Asia Hospital.
