Case Study: Rose Modum
Patient Name: Rose Modum
Age/Gender: 58-year-old Female
Nationality: Nigeria
Primary Condition: Large Left Adrenal Cyst
Treatment Performed: Laparoscopic Adrenal Cyst Removal
1. Patient Background
Mrs. Rose Modum, a 58-year-old patient from Nigeria, began experiencing persistent abdominal pain that gradually worsened over time. Concerned about the symptoms, she underwent medical evaluation and was diagnosed with a Left Adrenal Cyst, a fluid-filled swelling located on the adrenal gland above the kidney. Having previously traveled to India 10 years earlier with her husband for spine surgery through Med Access, Rose was already familiar with the company’s services and trusted its medical coordination approach. Seeking expert treatment for her condition, she contacted Med Access India once again for
assistance.
2. Med Access Case Management Approach
Med Access India guided Rose through its structured Six Steps to Best Surgery Decisions, ensuring she received the most appropriate treatment with expert medical support.
3. Step 1: Selection of High-Quality Specialists
The Med Access team reviewed Rose’s medical reports and connected her with a team of experienced Urologists in India who specialize in adrenal gland disorders and minimally invasive surgery. This ensured that her condition was evaluated by highly qualified specialists with expertise in advanced urological procedures.
4. Step 2: Establishing an Accurate Diagnosis
After a comprehensive evaluation that included:
• Detailed blood tests
• CT scan imaging review
Doctors confirmed the diagnosis of a large Left Adrenal Cyst. Further assessment revealed that the cyst had grown significantly in size and required surgical removal to prevent complications.
5. Step 3: Exploring Treatment Options
The medical team explained two possible surgical approaches:
• Open Surgery – traditional surgery with a larger incision
• Laparoscopic Surgery – minimally invasive surgery using small keyhole incisions
After discussing the benefits and risks of each option, Rose chose laparoscopic surgery because it offers:
✔ Less pain
✔ Minimal scarring
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Shorter hospital stay
6. Step 4: Patient Education and Counseling
Before the surgery, Med Access ensured that Rose fully understood the procedure. She was provided with:
• Educational articles about adrenal cysts
• Videos explaining laparoscopic surgery
• Online medical resources for additional understanding
This helped her feel well-informed and confident about the treatment plan.
7. Step 5: Selection of the Best Specialist and Hospital
Med Access helped Rose choose a highly experienced urologist and a hospital known for advanced urology treatment and minimally invasive surgical technology. The hospital was equipped with modern laparoscopic surgical systems, ensuring the highest standards of patient safety and surgical precision.
8. Step 6: Surgery and Recovery
Rose successfully underwent Laparoscopic Surgery for Removal of the Left Adrenal Cyst. The procedure was completed without complications. Because the surgery was minimally invasive:
• Post-operative pain was minimal
• Recovery was quick
• Hospital stay was short
After a few follow-up consultations and full recovery, Rose was able to safely return to Nigeria
and resume her normal life.
9. Outcome
The treatment resulted in:
• Complete removal of the adrenal cyst
• Relief from abdominal pain
• Smooth post-surgical recovery

Rose expressed appreciation to Med Access India for guiding her through every step of the treatment journey.
