A surgeon at the Capital Hospital, CDA, has earned fame and prestige for the nation by making it to the Guinness Book of World Records for removing a 25.5cm long gall bladder through a 1 cm incision.
The 70 year old patient, Rasheeda Bibi, underwent a laparoscopic operation at CDA Hospital by Surgeon Dr Naeem Taj. This is the longest ever gall bladder removed laparascopically in medical history. The Guiness Book of World record has awarded Dr Naeem Taj a certificate of “World’s Longest Gall bladder removed through laparascopy”. Earlier, an Indian Doctor removed a gallbladder of around 24 cm through open surgery.
