Bhubaneswar: Doctors at AIIMS-Bhubaneswar achieved a major milestone by successfully removing an 8.7 kg kidney mass, the largest ever reported in India, from a 50-year-old man suffering from Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a hospital release said on Friday.
The patient from Nayagarh district, who had been suffering from severe pain and discomfort due to the massive kidney, is stable and recovering well.
The five-hour high-risk surgery was led by Associate Professor of Urology Dr Manoj Kumar Das with support from Assistant Professor Dr Sambit Tripathy and a team of young resident doctors — Dr Saharsh, Dr Mithlesh, Dr Huzaifa, Dr Sabique, and D. Sachin.
“This was not just a medical success but a story of trust and teamwork. We thank the patient and his family for their faith, and our institute for the support that made this possible,” Dr Das said.
This surgery marks a new chapter in urology and highlights AIIMS Bhubaneswar as a centre of advanced, compassionate care, the release added.
