been removed without scalpels but only by endoscopy for the
first time in the world at a Palermo hospital, sources said
Tuesday.
The patient, a 51-year-old woman (RPT woman), was discharged
after three days and is dong well, sources at ISMETT Hospital
said.
The woman was able to move immediately after coming out of
anaesthesia, to feed after 48 hours without any problems and to
leave the hospital a day later.
"Up till now these operations were always carried out only
through surgery," experts at the hospital said.
