A LARGE and rare tumour has been removed from near the brain stem of a woman in a very complex and delicate operation in Bahrain.
The 16-hour highly risky surgery – the first of its kind in Bahrain – was performed on the 44-year-old Filipino lawyer at the King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH) by a 10-member team led by consultant neurosurgeon Dr Talal Al Maiman .
