I was diagnosed with Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL), which is a condition where multiple tumors develop in both kidneys. Since it involved two kidneys, if both were removed, I would have been doomed to have dialysis for the rest of my life. In order to save the kidneys, the urological surgeons sought help from the 3D Center, which operates here at Ikhilov Hospital, under the direction of Dr. Shlomo Dadia. Shlomo Dadia.
With the help of radiologist Dr. Sophie Barnes, a 3D model of both kidneys was created with the exact location and size of the tumors.
Using the model, surgeons Dr. Avi Beri and Prof. Dr. Ofer Yosepovich were able to operate on both kidneys in advance. Ofer Yosepovich were able to plan the operation in advance and remove the tumors.
The surgery was successful and both kidneys were saved!
I am happy and immensely grateful!
