Gastroenterologists at Meenakshi Mission Hospital & Research Centre removed a big tumour of the adrenal gland, known as pheochromocytoma, from a 12-year-old girl.
The 14x10 cm tumor was removed with the minimally invasive surgery procedure called laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Laparoscopy is usually used for removing adrenal masses only if the growth is smaller than six cm and open adrenalectomy (the traditional surgery with large incision) is done on patients with pheochromocytoma measuring more than six cm.
In 2011, the Karnataka government announced that five botanical gardens will be developed on the lines of the Lalbagh Botanical Garden in Bengaluru across the State. But according to the latest developments, there will only be four such gardens as the Horticulture Department is most likely to drop the project that was supposed to come up in Chikkaballapura district.
