In a five-and-a-half-hour-long procedure, the tumor was removed along with the right kidney to prevent the recurrence of tumors in future.

Tests at AIIMS revealed a huge tumor on the right side of Das’s kidney and it had led to the organ bloating up to 35 times its normal size.
The tests also revealed that several tumors had developed in Das’s lungs.
Since the patient was experiencing severe pain and discomfort, a team of doctors was formed under the leadership of Dr M.D. Ray, consultant at the department of surgical oncology, AIIMS.
According to the doctors, the patient underwent surgery on May 14 with the help of a 25 cm long incision from chest to abdomen, a procedure which is called thoraco-abdominal incision.
"The tumor was removed successfully along with the right kidney as there was a chance of recurrence of such tumors in the future. The patient has been recovering since," said Ray, adding that the patient was fit to be discharged on May 21.
