Surgical Success Stories - #501-502

Tarafe has a complicated story. She actually had surgery almost four years ago but unfortunately her prolapse returned. This is always a risk, no matter which surgery is done but the surgery that she had done only has a failure rate of 1-2% and she fell into that group. She needed a BIG surgery and was slow to wake up because of all the anesthetic. But, all is well. She stayed at the hospital for a few days to heal before she went home. She has five children and many grandchildren waiting on her return!

Demekech is 41 years old and came to hospital from a good distance away. She is widowed and has eight children. She also had a “big” surgery - which has the best chance of long-term success and we pray that everything will heal well this time around. Thank you for helping her!
