The Karnataka High Court authorized a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for a 23-year-old woman with severe disabilities.
The ruling prioritizes the patient's welfare, dignity, and health, utilizing the court's parens patriae jurisdiction.
A multidisciplinary medical board at Vanivilas Hospital recommended the surgery due to the patient's inability to manage menstrual hygiene.
The court has mandated comprehensive post-operative care and rehabilitation, with a report due to the Registrar General.
