Mumbai Surgeon Successfully Removes Five Brain Tumors in single surgery
Mumbai, 6th February 2024 – Preeti, a courageous 40-year-old woman, has defied the odds and embraced hope in the face of recurrent brain tumors. Her remarkable story of resilience unfolded during a recent medical intervention led by Dr. Mazda Turel, a renowned neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central.
In 2006, Preeti underwent her first surgery for a benign meningioma, only to find it return a year later. Undeterred, she faced a second surgery in 2007 and, after two years of respite, another recurrence. Despite the challenges, Preeti’s positive spirit prevailed as she underwent a third operation and radiation therapy in 2009. Over the next decade, she built a family, but in 2019, a new and complex challenge emerged.
Her fourth surgery became imperative, marking the beginning of an arduous journey compounded by the global pandemic, which disrupted regular medical check-ups. Preeti’s unwavering determination led her to Dr. Mazda Turel, seeking a fresh perspective after her previous surgeon retired.
Upon examination, Dr. Mazda Turel discovered not one but five tumors in various locations across the left hemisphere of Preeti’s brain. The largest, a 6 cm mass, pressed against the motor strip, causing debilitating weakness in her limbs. Dr. Mazda Turel decided on an unprecedented approach – the removal of all five tumors, followed by genetic studies and a personalized treatment plan.
In a groundbreaking surgical procedure, Dr. Mazda Turel skillfully removed the tumors, showcasing surgical prowess and dedication. Preeti’s recovery was initially promising, with renewed strength evident immediately after the surgery.
