FLORENCE Mampa, the 24-year-old from Samfya who had enlarged breasts, has undergone what doctors are describing a successful plastic surgery at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH).
Ms Mampa underwent a five-hour surgery from 09:00 hours to 14:00 hours on Thursday.
UTH managing director Luckson Kasonka revealed this in an interview yesterday in Lusaka.
He said two general surgeons and one plastic surgeon conducted the surgery to remove 16.25 kilogrammes of breast material.
Dr Kasonka explained that 8.1kg of flesh was removed from the left breast and 8.15kg from the right side.
He said Ms Mampa’s breasts have been down-sized to normal levels.
Dr Kasonka said there was no excessive bleeding during the operation, adding the tumour was not cancerous.
He said Ms Mampa, who was under anesthesia during operation, was resuscitated using assisted ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU).
“She was removed from ICU around midnight and this morning [yesterday], she was moved to the premium ward [high cost]. She is in high spirits and responding well to treatment,” Dr Kasonka said.
He said doctors will observe Ms Mampa for some time before she is discharged.
Dr Kasonka said so far the wounds are not showing any signs of infection and that doctors are optimistic recovery will be successful.
On Sunday, Dr Kasonka said a scan conducted on Ms Mampa last week revealed that the breasts are not cancerous.
Recently, Government evacuated her from Samfya to Lusaka for a series of tests at the UTH.
Deputy Minister of Community Development, Mother and Child Health Jean Kapata flew to Samfya to ensure that Ms Mampa was evacuated as quickly as possible.
Meanwood Property Development Limited facilitated the evacuation.

@Boobs Meat and @Nyama Ya Munthu. I believe you meant to say give that human fillet to those that have seven guns. I believe HH has no use for it because he has a lot of animals that he can kill. So the poachers should be the ones to be given the meat. You should know betther that scavenger No.1 , The Hyena (CNP) loves human

Its all God’s grace, every well meaning Zambian must say praise be to God and thanks to the government for the good gesture.
From the time late Robiana was evacuated to UTH and a successful operation conducted on him, i have never ceased to wonder why our highest institution of health kept refering patients abroad when they have proved to the whole world that they are able to perform most of these surgical operations here.
Would be wrong to call on authorities to investigate why UTH kept turning people down by saying they were unable to perform such operations thereby sentencing alot of people to death when they had a chance to live longer?
How many people has UTH sentenced to death in the name of we are unable to perform such an operation here?
Should this continue to happen like this unless the president comes in to assist the poor and vulnerable?
Has UTH forgotten its initial core of existence?

One can only see how the story that has got nothing to do with HH is soon diverted to bring in his name. I want to assure you haters of HH including your CNP and Fredrick Mumembe that God’s plans on HH are not your plan. HH will rule Zambia whether you like it or not. I am sure the truth hurts and you people are annoyed at how the so called under five is growing in popularity. VIVA HH VIVA UPND!!!!
