SUKKUR: Surgeons at the Mehran Medical Centre in Larkana removed a 35-kilogramme ovarian cyst from a patient on Wednesday. Gynaecologist Dr Khusbakht told The Express Tribune that the patient, 55-year-old Bhagti Bai, had been suffering from the ailment for quite some time but doctors had not been able to diagnose the underlying cause. She added that the effect of the mass was so severe that it had started affecting her vision. On Wednesday, Dr Khushbakht, after having diagnosed the cause based on ultrasound tests, operated on the patient and successfully removed the 35kg mass.
