Lucknow : Doctors from the oral and maxillofacial surgery department at KGMU’s faculty of dentistry performed surgery on a woman suffering from a tumour in her mouth. The tumour was located on her lip, making it difficult for her to eat, drink and breathe. After the surgery, she fully recovered. Sufiya Bano, 37, a resident of Indrauli, Sitapur, initially developed a small pimple on her upper lip two years ago. She ignored it at first, but within 2-3 months, it grew into a tumour. 

Her family took her to a local hospital, where doctors performed surgery. However, about a year later, the tumour began growing at double the speed, eventually closing her mouth completely. Eating and drinking became difficult, and breathing, especially at night, was extremely challenging. 

As her condition worsened, her family brought her to KGMU. On Friday, Prof Hariram and his team removed the tumour. He expressed hope that the tumour would not recur. The patient is now able to breathe normally. The surgical team included Dr Ranjita, Dr Nirmal Chaurasia, Dr Krishna, Dr Sania Zia, Prof Shefali Gautam from the anaesthesia department and nurse Maya Rajput.
