Surgeons: A Matter of Life or Death
Season 2 Episode 2
University Hospitals Birmingham surgeons Sat Parmar and Tim Martin confront a huge challenge with patient Susan, whose aggressive cancer is spreading from her upper jaw to her eye and nose. Without immediate intervention, the tumour could become inoperable within weeks - although removing it will leave a significant hole in her face, which will need complex reconstruction. Meanwhile, Raj Nijjar operates on 80-year-old Maureen, whose entire stomach has shifted up into her chest, and Richard Irving treats Charlotte's debilitating facial paralysis, which has blighted her life for three years
Surgeons: A Matter of Life or Death airs on Channel 5 +1 at 10:00 PM, Wednesday 15 January. (Subtitles, new.)
