Dr. Nainesh Patel, Founder and Consultant General, Laparoscopic and Gastrointestinal Surgeon at Lifeline Multispeciality Hospital, Surat, has achieved a remarkable World Records India title for the Maximum Soft-Tissue Tumours Removed from a Single Patient in a Single Surgery. Along with his dedicated surgical team, Dr. Patel successfully removed 370 lipomas (benign soft-tissue tumours) from a single patient during one complex surgical procedure.
The record-breaking surgery, performed in August 2025, lasted seven hours and required exceptional surgical expertise, precision, and meticulous planning. The successful removal of such a large number of benign tumours in a single operation highlights the team’s clinical excellence and commitment to delivering advanced patient care.
Lipomas are non-cancerous fatty growths that develop beneath the skin and, in rare cases, can occur in large numbers. Managing such an extensive condition in a single surgical session presented a significant medical challenge, making the achievement a landmark in the field of general and gastrointestinal surgery.
In recognition of this extraordinary medical accomplishment, World Records India officially confirmed and honoured Dr. Nainesh Patel and his surgical team for setting a new world record, celebrating their contribution to surgical innovation and excellence in healthcare.
