Surgery removes tumors from Elephant Man patient in Philadelphia
A 21 year old woman with neurofibromatosis Elephant Man's disease underwent a nine hour surgery at the University of Pennsylvania to remove facial tumors and her left eye. Dr Linton Whitaker led a team that performed radical procedures including eye removal and nose reconstruction. The operation, described as unique, aimed to relieve years of ridicule while risking heavy bleeding. The patient, identified as Lisa H, is in satisfactory condition and had previously undergone twelve operations without lasting relief. Local Neurofibromatosis Foundation members prayed and offered support as the case offered new hope to about 100,000 sufferers.
