The team of Otorhinolaryngology surgeons has performed a rare surgical intervention, not due to its difficulty, but due to the size of the tumor mass that was removed from a patient's nose.
It is a mass weighing 3.1 kg, which a 71-year-old patient was carrying in his nose.
Tedi Minarolli, an ENT surgeon, says: In terms of difficulty, it was average, but in terms of size, it was unheard of. 3.1 kg and 50 cm in the nose.
The 71-year-old was a prisoner and this may have led him to refuse medical treatment, allowing the mass to grow to such large proportions. So much so that when the patient was referred to doctors, the surgeon did not believe the photograph they had sent him.
The head of the service, Birkena Qirjazi, expresses concern that the number of patients who present themselves late to the doctor, complicating the situation, is increasing. However, she is optimistic about the success of the new doctors.
The ENT team, under the direction of the head of the service, Birkena Qirjazi, and Tedi Minarolli, with the participation of Kristi Tata and Arli Kokomani, as well as under the care of resuscitation doctors and young doctors, successfully performed the surgical intervention. /tch
