Mr. Elephant Leg from Indonesia came to Taiwan to treat Hualien Tzu Chi for rebirth.

Kevin, an elephant leg from Indonesia, suffers from congenital lymphedema in his right leg, which gradually swells with age. At the age of 19, his right leg is 142 cm wide, and the difference between his legs is 15 times. He can only move in a wheelchair. His family has visited Malaysia, Singapore and other places for doctors, but there is no way to solve it. Until he came to Taiwan last year to receive help from Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, after three operations, Kevin's leg circumference is like a normal person, and he can walk after rehabilitation. Kevin, who is 178 cm tall, is slender and weighs as much as 123 kg, because of the abnormal proliferation of lymphoid tissue in his right leg. The Tzu Chi medical team in Hualien found that Kevin's left foot is 4.5 liters, while his right foot with lymphedema is as high as 65 liters, which is the most serious lymphedema. Li Junda, director of plastic surgery at Hualien Ciyuan Hospital, led seven doctors to form a medical team. At the end of July last year, Kevin was operated for three times to remove 54 kilograms of abnormal lymphoid tissue, including 45.4 kilograms of abnormal lymphoid tissue in the calf alone. The circumference of the calf was reduced from 142 cm to 25 cm, and the weight was restored from 123 kg to 6 kg. Li Junda pointed out that with the cooperation of the medical team, Kevin's abnormal lymphoid tissue was successfully removed, while retaining the muscles and fat in his thigh. On the one hand, it did not affect the postoperative function and the symmetry of his legs, on the other hand, it could effectively prevent the recurrence of lymphedema in his right lower limb, and he was also given rehabilitation treatment after surgery to strengthen the bending angle, physical endurance and muscle endurance of Kevin's right knee. After five months of surgery and rehabilitation treatment, Kevin has been able to put on jeans and sneakers that fit him, walk up and down the stairs by himself without the help of others, and can also walk quickly and jog.
