99 stones removed from woman's gallbladder
45-year-old woman had 99 stones removed from her gallbladder at a government hospital in Tumakuru, after suffering from severe stomach pain.
When the woman went for an ultrasound, the doctors found multiple gallbladder stones besides swelling in the anterior abdominal wall.
Dr Wasim Imran, Senior surgeon of the hospital, said the woman had multiple complications posing many risks.
"She had incarcerated hernia, gallbladder stones, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cardiac problem. She was running around to get operated but due to her poverty, nobody offered her any support....," he said.
The operation yesterday went on for almost two and half hours, which required cutting open her abdomen to remove the gallbladder stones as well as to operate the "incarcerated hernia."
Three stones were of 12 mm size while others ranged between four mm and five mm, said the doctor.
