Tumkur: Dr. Waseem and Dinesh R. of Tumkur District hospital performed a surgery and removed as many as 99 gallstones from a woman’s abdomen here on Wednesday.

When 45-year-old Salma went to the Tumkur District Hospital with pain and swelling in her abdomen, little did she know that doctors would detect as many as 99 gallstones.

One Salma (45) went to the Tumkur District Hospital with pain and swelling in her abdomen. There, an ultrasound revealed she had multiple gallstones in her abdomen.

“When she came to us, she had severe abdomen pain. Her sugar level was abnormally high and haemoglobin was low, apart from other issues. We admitted her for 15 days and stabilised her parameters before we worked her up for the surgery. The surgery was done on Tuesday,” said Dinesh R. and Waseem Imran.

Dr. Waseem said although multiple gallstones are not unusual, finding 99 in a person is rare. “In the three-hour surgery we removed her umbilical hernia and the gallstones. She will be discharged in eight days, he added.
