Patient Overview
Name: Mr. Rahman (Pseudonym)
Age: 58
Gender: Male
Condition: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Liver Cancer)
Background:
Mr. Rahman, a 58-year-old man with a history of chronic hepatitis B, presented with unexplained weight loss, jaundice, and persistent right upper abdominal pain. An ultrasound and CT scan confirmed the presence of a large tumor (about 8 cm in diameter) in the right lobe of the liver, diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The tumor was localized, and no distant metastases were found.
Given Mr. Rahman’s underlying liver condition, he was referred to Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan, a leading expert in liver surgery, for further evaluation and treatment options. After detailed diagnostic imaging and consultations, it was concluded that surgical resection was the best option for him.
Treatment Plan:
Professor Khan recommended a right hepatectomy (surgical removal of the right lobe of the liver) to completely excise the tumor while preserving enough healthy liver tissue to support normal liver function. Due to the tumor’s location, the surgery required careful planning to avoid damaging critical blood vessels and bile ducts.
The surgery was performed under general anesthesia with advanced techniques to minimize blood loss and preserve surrounding tissue. During the procedure, Professor Khan successfully removed the tumor along with a portion of the surrounding tissue, while carefully reconstructing the bile ducts and ensuring proper blood flow to the remaining liver tissue.
Surgical Procedure Details:
- Procedure: Right Hepatectomy
- Duration: 5 hours
- Approach: Open surgery
- Challenges: Tumor location near critical blood vessels required precision to avoid excessive bleeding.
- Outcome: Tumor successfully excised with clear surgical margins. The remaining liver tissue was healthy and functional.
Post-Operative Care:
Post-surgery, Mr. Rahman was closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 48 hours to ensure stable vital signs and to manage any potential complications. The recovery was closely supervised with regular imaging to confirm that the remaining liver tissue was functioning well. He received supportive care to manage pain and prevent infection, along with regular liver function tests.
Outcome:
Mr. Rahman’s recovery was swift and uneventful. He was discharged from the hospital after 7 days with instructions for post-operative care. Follow-up visits were scheduled to monitor his liver function and detect any recurrence of the cancer. After three months of follow-up, Mr. Rahman showed no signs of cancer recurrence, and his liver function had returned to normal.
Patient Testimonial:
"I was initially worried about the surgery, but Dr. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan's expertise and professionalism gave me confidence. The procedure was smooth, and my recovery was faster than I expected. I am now cancer-free and feel healthier than I have in years. I am truly grateful for the excellent care I received."
