Cyst Removed From Baby Gorilla By Medical Surgeons
A surgical team of two neurosurgeons and a neonatologist from Seattle's Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center of Seattle joined Woodland Park Zoo's Animal Health staff yesterday to perform surgery on a two-and-a-half-month-old, female western lowland gorilla. The specialized medical team was mobilized to remove a growth overlying the spine of the 9-pound gorilla. Following the one-hour procedure and recovery from anesthesia, the baby gorilla was returned to her mother at the gorilla exhibit.
