Doctors from the Second Surgery of Peštersko Shosse removed a 15-kilogram tumor from the abdomen of Nikolay Stefanov from Plovdiv.

"I want to thank Dr. Metin Ali, the head of the department Prof. Angel Uchikov, all the doctors, nurses and orderlies, thanks to whom my father is alive," Nikolay told "Maritsa".

And he adds that he is not mentioning the names of the other doctors because he is worried about leaving someone out.

The 55-year-old man was admitted in a serious condition to the department on the 11th floor of the "Peshtersko Shosse" surgeries two weeks ago.

Dr. Metin Ali, to whom he went for examination, said that the tumor was developing with extreme speed and the operation should be done urgently.

The surgeons removed a 15-kilogram tumor from the man's abdomen.

"Everyone was extremely careful, but we come across Dr. Ali once again.

Some time ago, he also operated on my mother.

In fact, he saved the lives of both my parents," says the excited man.

Dr. Ali stated that operations of such volume and complexity are a daily occurrence for doctors in Surgery, but what is specific in this case is the rapid development of the process.
