LAHORE: After a 14 hours’ long complicated operation of brain tumor which was removed successfully from 28-year-old Kishwer at the Lahore General Hospital (LGH) on Sunday, the team really had something to celebrate.

Neurosurgeon Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood along with his team comprising Dr Muhammad Akmal and Dr Muhammad Hassan Raza took part in this operation and removed tumor from the very sensitive part of brain. This process is called Petroclival Meningioma and it is one of its own kind.

Kishwer’s husband told media that they visited many hospitals to get treatment of this disease but everywhere they got medicines and operation was also recommended but no doctor picked her to operate.

After sometime, when he visited LGH, Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood thoroughly checked her up and after necessary tests, admitted Kishwer in where she was successfully operated and the hardwork of doctors proved fruitful.

He added that they were already disappointed as a total of Rs 1 crore were required to get her treated abroad and they did not have such an amount. He expressed his gratefulness to the doctors as now his wife will be able to lead a normal life.

Kishwer praised this process of operation and called it a blessing in the country which will now enable her to live a normal life with her family and husband. Dr Khalid Mahmood congratulated the patient and her family and said that it was a blessing of Allah Almighty who made this mission possible.
