Longest surgeryIn 1951, the longest operation in medical history, taking four days, began in Chicago to remove a huge ovarian cyst from Mrs Gertrude Levandowski, age 58. Over a period of ten years, she had increased in weight to 616-lb and reached 9-ft in circumference. She had developed a huge ovarian cyst, causing a bad heart condition as it pressed against her heart. Dr. M.S. Roberts tapped the cyst, draining fluid slowly, 120 drops a minute, to slowly reduce its pressure on her heart. Some 200-lb of fluid were removed in four days. Then the remaining 100-lb cyst, the size of bushel-basket, was removed. Her weight dropped to only 308-lb after the operation.« |
