The emergency department at Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail Industrial City received a case of a 6-year-old boy who was suffering from severe swelling in his right eye. A team of specialists in ENT and ophthalmology conducted the necessary examinations, including a CT scan, which revealed a pus accumulation in the right eye socket, a complication resulting from a severe sinus infection.
The boy was immediately admitted to the ENT department, where he began receiving medical treatment and underwent the required tests in preparation for surgery. Based on an eye examination that showed increased eye pressure, protrusion, and impaired vision, an urgent procedure was planned to drain the sinus infection and remove the pus accumulation.
The surgery was performed using advanced endoscopic sinus techniques under the supervision of Dr. Abdul Rahman Abdul Aleem, ENT consultant. The procedure was completed successfully without the need for any external incisions.
Post-surgery, the boy continued medical treatment under the close supervision of ENT and ophthalmology consultants for five days. His condition improved fully, and his eye returned to its normal state with 100% accuracy, thankfully, without any complications.
The child was discharged after five days of hospitalization and continues to receive follow-ups in the hospital’s outpatient clinics to ensure his ongoing recovery.

Al-Khobar - Mouwasat Hospital
The medical team at Badana Center in Mouwasat Hospital Al-Khobar has successfully performed a distinguished and pioneering procedure—the first of its kind in the private healthcare sector in the Kingdom.
The surgery utilized ICG fluorescence imaging technology through the robotic surgery system to convert a previous sleeve gastrectomy into a mini gastric bypass.
The ICG technology significantly enhanced the surgeon’s visual accuracy during the procedure, enabling the medical team to precisely assess tissue integrity and reduce potential complications such as leakage, obstruction, or other surgery-related risks associated with complex bariatric procedures.
The medical team, led by Dr. Sultan Al Temyatt, emphasized that integrating robotic surgery with ICG technology represents a major leap in advanced bariatric surgery, offering higher levels of safety, precision, and efficiency, in addition to faster recovery and reduced postoperative risks.
The team expressed their appreciation to all medical staff involved in this achievement, which reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s commitment to adopting the latest global technologies and delivering advanced medical care in accordance with the highest standards.

Dammam – Mouwasat Hospital
With the grace of Allah, the Neurosurgery Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully performed a high‑risk and rare microsurgical procedure to remove a large skull base tumor measuring more than 5 cm in the posterior cranial fossa, using the latest advanced neurosurgical technologies.
A 44‑year‑old female patient was referred to Mouwasat Hospital from another healthcare facility. Comprehensive clinical evaluation and advanced imaging revealed a large tumor located at the skull base, close to critical neurological centers—necessitating an urgent and highly precise surgical intervention due to its sensitive location.
The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. Omar Al‑Falaki, Consultant Neurosurgeon.
with the support of a specialized multidisciplinary surgical team.
The tumor was completely resected using:
The procedure lasted more than 10 continuous hours, ensuring accurate and safe removal of the tumor while preserving surrounding neurological functions.
Following surgery, the patient underwent an intensive rehabilitation program at the hospital’s Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center. By the grace of Allah, she made a remarkable recovery, regaining full mobility and returning to her family to resume her daily life normally.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah proudly announces the successful completion of a complex microsurgical procedure performed by Dr. Ahmed El Shazly, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery and Microsurgical Hand Procedures.
A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic pain in the right leg, numbness, and altered sensation in the sole of the foot for over five years. The pain worsened with pressure or touch and intensified at night, causing severe insomnia. Despite consulting multiple physicians, the condition remained undiagnosed.
Clinical examination and advanced imaging (X-ray and MRI) revealed a Tibial Nerve Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor located in the posterior compartment of the leg. This nerve controls foot movement and sole sensation. Continuous pressure from the tumor posed a risk of loss of sensation or motor weakness in the foot and toes.
A Tibial Nerve Schwannoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from Schwann cells that form the nerve sheath. It affects the tibial nerve, which is responsible for foot movement and sensation in the sole. While the tumor grows slowly, its enlargement can compress nerve fibers, leading to:
Dr. El Shazly successfully performed a microsurgical excision of the tumor (5×3 cm) while preserving nerve fibers. The patient was discharged the next day without complications and experienced significant pain relief and restored sensation within days. Histopathology confirmed the complete removal of the schwannoma.
This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to advanced neurosurgical and orthopedic techniques, ensuring accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for optimal patient outcomes—aligned with our vision of delivering world-class healthcare.
