Dateline Dehradun – In a landmark medical achievement, Himalayan Hospital, Jollygrant, a constituent unit of Swami Rama Himalayan University, has reaffirmed its position at the forefront of advanced and compassionate healthcare.
A surgical team led by Dr. Vandana Rajput, Consultant in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, has successfully removed a 26.2 kg ovarian tumor from a 17-year-old unmarried girl—one of the largest such tumors ever documented in Uttarakhand.
The patient, hailing from Bhavwala, Premnagar, Dehradun, had been experiencing progressive abdominal swelling for over a year, along with difficulty in breathing and intestinal issues for the last four months. Despite visiting multiple hospitals, a definitive diagnosis had not been reached—until her arrival at Himalayan Hospital.
Following thorough diagnostic evaluation, including ultrasound and MRI, a massive abdominal tumor was identified. With her 23+ years of experience in handling complex gynaecological cases, Dr. Vandana Rajput swiftly devised a minimally invasive surgical plan.
The one-and-a-half-hour operation was executed with precision and care, involving an expert team including resident doctors Dr. Shabana and Dr. Shivani, and dedicated nursing support from Sister Parminder. The anaesthesia team, headed by Dr. Kanika Sachdeva, ensured safe and smooth intraoperative management with the help of her resident doctors.
The tumor was removed without any injury to surrounding organs or external disfigurement, preserving the patient’s dignity and future health. Her post-operative recovery was rapid, and her emotional transformation has been deeply heartwarming, with the family expressing immense gratitude and relief.
Dr. Vijay Dhasmana, President of Swami Rama Himalayan University, lauded the team’s effort, stating: “This extraordinary surgery reflects the highest standards of medical excellence and human empathy. We are proud to have such dedicated professionals serving our community.”
This milestone marks yet another chapter in Himalayan Hospital’s legacy of medical excellence and community service. With state-of-the-art infrastructure and a deeply compassionate clinical team, the hospital continues to be a beacon of hope for patients facing complex and rare medical conditions.
