“The pregnancy was inside the liver -- some of it was inside and some outside. So when the patient was scanned, the resident found the embryonic sac with a developing foetus within with a beating heart -- it was a live ectopic pregnancy within the liver. This patient was discharged on the 13th day post operation,” Dr Francis Noronha, who heads the general surgery department, said. We removed this along with that section of the liver,” Dr Dattaprasad Samant, who performed the operation along with the team, added. For a pregnancy to survive, it has to get blood supply from some source; these are rich organs of blood supply,” Dr Pednekar said.
