LMUTH OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY TEAM SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMS COMPLEX SURGERY

The Obstetrics and Gynaecology team at Levy Mwanawasa University Teaching Hospital has successfully performed a total abdominal hysterectomy on a 43-year-old female patient who had been living with large uterine fibroids for the past 10 years.

Over time, the fibroid progressively increased in size and eventually weighed approximately 5 kilograms, significantly affecting the patient’s health and quality of life.

The complex procedure was successfully carried out by a multidisciplinary surgical team comprising:

Surgical Team

Dr. M. Sichula – Lead Surgeon
Dr. Gabriella Mulikita – Surgeon
Dr. Bwiini Jalata – Surgeon

Anaesthesia Team

Mr. Fred
Ms. Precious

Scrub Nurse

Sr. Ased

The patient is currently stable and recovering well under close post-operative observation.

This successful operation reflects the hospital’s continued commitment to providing advanced surgical care and managing complex and long-standing gynaecological conditions locally through skilled multidisciplinary teams and specialised healthcare services.
