Massive intra-abdominal tumour removed from Essequibo woman at GPHC

A 44-year-old female patient from the Essequibo Coast, Region 2 recently underwent a life-saving operation at the GPHC where a massive intra-abdominal tumour was removed from her.

A release yesterday from the  Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) said that the procedure was performed by Dr. Rafi Rozan, Chief Consultant Specialist in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, along with his team. 

The patient had been enduring persistent abdominal discomfort, pain, and bloating for several months, prompting her to seek medical attention. Diagnostic tests, including ultrasounds, tumour markers, and CT scans, revealed the presence of a large intra-abdominal mass.
