The issue is, was the surgery necessary considering the size of the cyst. A single ultrasound scan is not enough to assess a cyst especially when it was done elsewhere. Removing a cyst is not a treatment for subfertility.
The couple were anxious and needed extensive counselling.

I read the full story, it's really Sad, medical terminology can be boring sometimes, don't worry, I understand.

Been together since 2012, no child, consulted a Dr for assistance, precisely a CONSULTANT, who suggested an operation after an ultrasound scan showed she has Ovarian cyst.
The Dr is believed to have removed the woman's 2 ovaries and Fallopian tubes------this implies she can only have Children via IVF or adopt one since she only has a womb left without Fallopian tubes or ovaries. Was said to have also made several cuts on her small intestine, Now she can't pass stool and is currently at Maitama General Hospital were she has had 2 surgeries done already to help save her life
This should be short enough for you, manage it.

i dont think the cyst was removed because of infertility. It was probably symptomatic otherwise there is no rationale behind removing a cyst as a treatment for infertility. Secondly the cost of the surgery was 45k. Hello. In abuja you are removing cyst with 45k and you dont expect complication? That is just about 100 euro. Either the doctor is not a doctor....no doctor in practise for 30yrs will remove cyst for 45k. And a post op patient is not moving bowel the next thing you gave liquid paraffin. That cant be an experienced doctor with 30yrs in practise. Even if you mistakenly rent the gut it is not going to be in multiple places and the two ovaries and tubes wont be missing. I can bet it.....he is not a doctor!!! And patient too that went to remove a cyst with 45k ....they were looking for the cheapest and the man took advantage of them. I wont stop saying this. HEALTHCARE IS EXPENSIVE. NIGERIANS MUST LEARN HOW TO PAY FOR IT. DONT BE PENNYWISE POUND FOOLISH

GreatUniben:
Many doctors in Nigeria are rubbish, they are every where with knife ready to operate on you, even if its just ordinary headache, so that you will pay big bills. God punish devil

famzynet:


You made a big point here. Those in the field know that quacks abound and every genuine doctor knows when to refer a case. Removal of ovarian cyst in any good private hospital in Portharcourt is nothing less than 130k. Abuja should be higher. So how come such surgery was charged 45k in Abuja. It goes a long way to tell you the facility the man visited. Cheap things dey turn belle sometimes. Joke apart,I don't think the CMD is a qualified doctor. There are many people pretending to be doctors in Nigeria.

Pennywise:


Pls readers should disregard this recommendation of Gynapharm as treatment for ovarian cyst. It is a herbal fraud.

Godamnit! Fuuuuuuck!










MW, am waiting for the person that would claim that s/he read the full story....

While i respect your view, it is very uninformed and obviously unintelligent. Nigeria boosts of some of the finest doctors in the world. Some of the doctors you run to in the US, UK and elsewhere are Nigerians.

The failure of govt to provide basic healthcare for the poor and regulatory failure in establishment and practise of private healthcare outfits has seen a rise in quackery to fill up the space. The system like every other in Nigeria is rotten and unguarded so its every businessman's turf.

Most Nigerians don't listen. Healthcare is NOT CHEAP, if you can't afford it please go to a good govt hosp (at least in Abuja) and be patient. Lets stop this ponzi scheme mentality, no body would collect 45k from you for a major surgery like ovarian cystectomy and you expect a good outcome.

After sacrificing his wife to the butcher, where did he raise money for the extensive corrective surgery at the public hospital, where he could have gone ab initio.

Nyanya general hosp is just about #300 away from his location.

The "doctor" is evil, the husband is wicked.

maasoap:

I did. Just to learn to avoid such predicament. The funniest thing about this story was that the wife didn't need any surgery.

LexngtonSteele:
What the...?

Boyooosa:

WOW! But people mentioned that she has gone through a successful survey now...

prodiG:
why you dey answer IndecentStar name sef?

How come you're an expert on pornstars?

Anyways...its because "it's" 12 inches long

maasoap:

I meant that the first surgery that caused the irreparable damage at the private hospital was needless. She's still undergoing corrective surgeries at the public hospital.
Mind you, she has lost both ovaries and fallopian tubes to the needless first operation.

The story is pathetic, however there are some issues. We were not informed of the specialty of the doctor & the age of the woman.
If the lady had subfertility with ovarian cyst, all the investigations including an HSG should have been done before the surgery.
What was the cause of the subfertility? Probably pelvic inflammatory disease which resulted in the frozen pelvic making it difficult to see the uterus and fallopian tubes. Meaning they were not removed but were buried in the pelvic adhesions. The adhesions must have involved the bowels resulting in intestinal perforation while trying to free them. These are things that can happen during an abdominal surgery. The problem started when the surgeon did only a primary repair of the injured intestine without performing an ileostomy (opening a passage for faeces) to aid in healing of the bowel. During follow up, with the patient now having a distended abdomen he should have know that faeces were collecting in the abdominal cavity. He should have reopened the abdomen or refer the patient to a facility with a general surgeon.
The good thing is that the lady is still alive but her chances of conception is slim.

MODIFIED: you dont always have to do ileostomy during a resection. Even the referral centre did the 2nd surgery without ileostomy and only went back for it after a breakdown of the anastomosis
