RAJKOT: Doctors at the government-run children hospital successfully performed a complex surgery on a four-year-old rape survivor, who suffered severe damage to the perineum, the tissue between vagina and anus, in the sexual assault six months ago.
The girl from Savarkundla town of Amreli district was discharged from Janana Hospital on Monday after 10 days of treatment and the complex surgery.
Due to the damage, she was unable to control passing of stool and the surgery became complex due to her tender age and fragile organs. Doctors said the girl is still under immense trauma and initially resisted their attempts for medical examination.
