Elegant and successful
Donna Elvira (59) is a single mother of five children. As a housewife, she can’t make a lot of money. And hospital bills are a real threat for almost every Peruvian living in the mountains of southern Peru. Fifteen years ago, she had her uterus removed at a hospital in Boliven. It was probably during this operation that a stitch was tightened around her right ureter. The kidney was damaged by the build-up of urine and eventually only consisted of a fluid-filled sac.
There were also several infections of the kidney.
A few days ago, our urologist Dr. Benjamin Zeier and general surgeon Dr. Hilbert de Vries succeeded in removing the non-functioning kidney laparoscopically. The operation went without complications and the patient is on the road to recovery. The Hospital Diospi Suyana has the best prices in the whole country. Indigent patients also receive substantial support from our charity fund. /KDJ
