Visakhapatnam, June 24 (UNI) A 18-year-old degree student, who had been unable to pass urine naturally since birth due to a spinal defect and had developed kidney damage as a result of continuous leakage, has now been given a new life thanks to a rare and complex surgery performed by doctors at KIMS ICON Hospital, Visakhapatnam.
