Never see a huge tumour? this is the process of removal of tumour mass in OT. This is a major surgery which may have severe blood loss and complications.
After opening the abdomen, a huge ovarian mass was found
The plan was as follow:
- TAHBSO (Total abdominal hysterectomy and salpingo-ophorectomy) - Remove the uterus and both ovaries and fallopian tubes, together with the tumour.
- Appendectomy, omentectomy and lymph nodes clearance. - Remove the appendix, the omentum (the 'policeman' which attached to intestine) and the lymph nodes around the pelvis. This is to prevent spread of the cancer.
Closer look of the huge mass, holding at the surgeon's hand
Omentectomy was in process. The 'pen' holding is diathermy to burn n cut open the tissues.
The uterus, tubes and ovaries were removed. Note the huge ovarian mass on the left. It had both solid and cystic component, suggestive of malignant carcinoma.
