Doctors Remove 10 Organs From Woman’s Body To Save Her Life ( See Photos)

 A colon, spleen, gall bladder, ovaries, fallopian tubes, appendix,  belly button, parts of a liver, kidney and diaphragm were removed from woman’s body to save her life.

It took 9 hours and a team of highly professional to remove 10 organs from Jenny Ramage’s cancer-ravaged body. The woman whose stomach cavity was invaded by a rare and aggressive cancer has her colon, spleen, gall bladder, ovaries, fallopian tubes, appendix and umbilicus or belly button entirely removed.

Jenny Ramage, 32, from Bristol had 10 organs removed in an operation dubbed the ‘mother of all surgeries’ after doctors discovered she was suffering a rare form of cancer

Besides, her liver, kidney and diaphragm were also partially removed. But before beign operated Ms Ramage had to visit dozens of doctors who made wrong diagnosis until one day she was diagnosed with the rare disease pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) which affects around one in 500,000 people a year. Whereupon she was immenditely admitted to hospital where she spent three weeks.

Speaking after ther operation Ms Ramage said, “The scar doesn’t really bother me – I see it as a survival trophy. I have been very lucky, I have made a full recovery.  There’s nothing I can’t do, nothing I can’t eat or drink. But obviously my fertility was compromised, but I still hope to have children someday with the eggs that were frozen just in time.”

Surgeons removed her colon, spleen, gall bladder, ovaries, fallopian tubes, appendix and umbilicus or belly button as well as part of her liver, kidney and diaphragm

Following the surgery, Ms Ramage underwent another radical procedure, a chemotherapy bath. This is where the stomach cavity is filled with hot chemotherapy liquid for around 90 minutes, while the patient remains under anaesthetic. Bathing the inside of the stomach with the  heated chemotherapy increases the chances of the cancer cells being killed.
