London: A 32-year-old man from Vietnam survived a 12 hour operation to remove a 90kg tumor from his leg.
McKay McKinnon a U.S. surgeon, headed up the team of eight who spent an entire day operating on Nguyen Duy Hai last week.
Hai is reported to be in a stable condition after the surgery at the France-Vietnam hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, and Dr. Mckinnon is happy with the results.
“It’s common for people to fear death, and I’m no exception. But when I heard that Dr McKinnon had decided to come back to Vietnam one more time to give me a new life, I became more hopeful,” Hai told Vietnamese news site Tuoitre News.
Last year, Hai’s family appealed for funds to help them afford medical help. Hai has had a tumour growing on his right leg since soon after he was born.
