During a routine ultrasound, a 6x5x4 cm tumor was found in the pocket between her bladder and uterus.
The hospital's Department of Urology and Robotic Surgery determined that due to the tumor's difficult location its exact nature could not be confirmed through imaging or biopsy.
“The challenges in this surgery were huge. We had to remove the tumor without affecting the uterus, bladder or ureters to plan for a future pregnancy,” said lead surgeon Vipin Tyagi.
So Tyagi and his team opted for robot-assisted surgery. Advanced robotic systems allow unparalleled precision, flexibility and control throughout delicate operations.
“Robotic technology was necessary to reach this difficult space between the organs and remove the tumor without causing any additional damage,” the surgeon said.
Following the successful surgery, the newlywed patient was discharged from the hospital just two days later – with her fertility intact, the hospital said.
