Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 2: Gleneagles BGS Hospital recently undertook one of its most complex cases, performing a radical scapulectomy with synchronous radiotherapy and reconstruction using thigh flap on a 22-year-old medical student from Nigeria. The patient, previously treated for chondrosarcoma of the scapula, faced a recurrence of the cancer in the same area, presenting a significant surgical and clinical challenge, especially due to her requirement to avoid blood transfusions as a Jehovah's Witness.
