(Web Desk) – Dr Amer Raza, a Pakistani surgeon, led a team of surgeons in London to set a world record for operating a record number of women living with endometriosis in two days, said reports.

Mr Raza, who currently works as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Chelsea and Westminster NHS Hospital, performed a “phenomenal” 12 surgical procedures earlier this month, assisted by the Da Vinci surgical robot.

Following the surgery, the surgeon told media: “We really impressed ourselves and the Trust is keen for us to work together to understand how it worked so efficiently. Hopefully we can translate this into every single list we do in the hospital.”
