Summary:
A 12-year old girl from Samastipur in Bihar underwent a rare surgery at the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad. She was cured of a congenital defect in the urinary bladder and genital organs called "primary bladder exstrophy". Doctors said that normally such operations are performed when the patient is over three months old but in the Civil Hospital, children aged up to five or six years have been operated upon. Normally, such operations are performed on children up to five years of age and the gap is very small. A private doctor suggested the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital to the family..
