Evercare Hospital Chattogram organized a workshop with local media personnel on Thursday to discuss the successful neurosurgery in removing a brain tumour in a 42-year-old woman.
At the workshop, Dr Md Anisul Islam Khan and his team, along with other involved personnel from Evercare Hospital, discussed the details of the surgery and other relevant experiences with reporters, according to a press release on Thursday.
The patient, Nurunnahar, had been suffering from headaches for the last six months, which gradually kept increasing in severity. She had consulted several different physicians but to no avail.
The situation kept getting worse as she slowly began experiencing numbness and gradually lost voluntary control of her right arm and leg. A few weeks prior to the surgery, the patient could not even speak.
Considering the dire situation, the patient’s family then reached out to Dr Khan, who successfully diagnosed a significantly large tumour in the left part of her brain.
After carefully assessing the situation, Dr Khan decided to proceed to surgically remove the tumour. Since such surgeries are very complicated and require a high level of expertise and precision, this was an exceptional case of a successful operation.
Providing an insight into the patient’s ailment, Dr Md Anisul Islam Khan, senior consultant & coordinator of the Neurosurgery Department at Evercare Hospital Chattogram, said: “There are generally some common symptoms like headaches, numbness, vomiting, convulsions and so on which indicate the possible presence of a brain tumour.”
“Since the patient had been suffering from the effects of the tumour and the accompanying complications for quite some time, it was the best-case scenario to conduct the high-risk surgery to remove it,” he added.
Evercare Hospital Chattogram boasts a world class modular operation theatre. It also provides facilities through using advanced operating microscopes, endoscope, craniotome and drill machine as well as C-Arm machine.
Besides the advanced operation theatre, there is also an all-inclusive, carefully staffed surgical ICU which is crucial for the post-operative period of neurosurgery.
