Romanian surgeons in Brăila remove 10-kilogram tumor displacing internal organs
Doctors at Brăila County Emergency Clinical Hospital successfully removed a 10-kilogram abdominal tumor that had shifted a 56-year-old patient's liver, right kidney, and intestines.
Surgical intervention in Brăila
Surgeons at the Brăila County Emergency Clinical Hospital (SCJU Brăila) completed the extraction of a 10-kilogram tumor from the abdomen of a 56-year-old male patient from Brăila. The surgical procedure was performed by doctors from the First General Surgery Clinical Ward, working alongside anesthesiologists and specialized nursing staff. According to statements released by hospital representatives on 30 September 2026, the patient was admitted to the facility on 6 September 2026 with a severe condition requiring clinical assessment. Hospital staff conducted thorough preoperative preparations to stabilize the patient, assess anatomical risks, and evaluate the physical boundaries of the mass before entering the operating room.
Tumor dimensions and organ displacement
Clinical diagnostic examinations revealed that the abdominal formation measured 30 centimeters in length and 25 centimeters in width. The growth occupied the entire right side of the patient's abdominal wall, creating severe pressure on internal body systems. Because of the massive volume and physical weight of the mass, vital internal organs including the liver, the right kidney, and the intestines were displaced toward the left side of the abdomen. Medical teams noted that this internal dislocation posed an acute threat to the patient's life. The displacement of internal structures transformed the surgical operation into a race against the clock under demanding technical conditions.

Operating room execution and complete extirpation
The surgical team executed the procedure with precision to separate the 10-kilogram mass from compressed surrounding organs and vessels. Operating doctors worked carefully to prevent vascular damage and avoid injuring the relocated liver, kidney, and intestinal tracts. Through meticulous surgical technique, the doctors achieved complete extirpation of the 30 by 25 centimeter abdominal growth without leaving residual tissue. The medical team successfully preserved the functionality of all compressed organs throughout the operation. Hospital administration commended the surgical division for their technical performance during the demanding intervention.
An extremely complex surgical procedure saved the life of a 56-year-old patient, demonstrating once again the professionalism and dedication of our medical team in the First General Surgery Clinical Ward.
Post-operative recovery and hospital discharge
Following the conclusion of the operation, the patient entered intensive post-operative care within the surgical department. Clinical staff monitored the patient's vital signs, organ recovery, and general healing over a two-week period. Medical evaluations confirmed that the patient experienced steady physical progress and favorable healing following the extraction. Hospital officials reported that the post-operative monitoring period concluded without acute clinical complications. After completing two weeks of structured medical care and observation, the 56-year-old man was discharged in good health to return home to his family.
Congratulations to the entire medical team in the General Surgery Ward, the anesthesiologists, and the nurses who contributed to this great victory for life.
