The 72-year-old man John Rusagara from Nigeria was in immense pain due to enlarged prostate for over a decade. He was going through severe difficulties including pain while urinating, difficulty in walking and imbalance. While the normal size of the prostate gland is 15-20 gms, John was detected with 350 gm, which is unheard of in medical history.
The heavy prostrate made it difficult for John to carry out basic and normal activities of life. In addition, his kidneys were swollen due to obstruction by the grossly enlarged prostate. The abnormal size of the prostrate made many hospitals even in Bangalore apprehensive about conducting the critical surgery as the regular surgical process would cause bleeding and chances of its incomplete removal. Finally, His enlarged gland was removed in less than 2 hours of time without any blood loss. John was discharged from the hospital the next day. Today, he is leading a normal and active life without any complications.
