A resident recovered from near-complete paralysis after enduring over two months of suffering thanks to the dedicated efforts of the medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam.
The male patient, in his fifties, was initially paralyzed and unable to move, leading him to be admitted to a major hospital in the region. An MRI scan revealed a large tumor at the base of the central skull, extending to its rear, causing pressure on the brainstem. This pressure resulted in ventricular hydrocephalus and limb paralysis. The hospital that initially treated him only placed a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to drain cerebrospinal fluid without addressing the tumor due to its complex location, size, and spread.
After almost two months with the patient bedridden, the company he worked for made extensive efforts to seek other hospitals that could provide the necessary care. However, many hospitals in the region refused to accept the case due to its complexity.
The company then expanded its search to hospitals in Riyadh, but no private hospital agreed to take on the case. Finally, Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam, confident in its capabilities and medical expertise, accepted the patient, reassuring his company that they were fully prepared to offer the highest levels of medical care, especially in complex neurosurgery cases.
Upon arrival, the patient underwent a clinical examination confirming his paralysis and full dependence on a urinary catheter. A navigational MRI revealed the tumor’s pressure on the brainstem and cranial nerves, and its proximity to critical blood vessels. The treating physician explained the comprehensive treatment plan to the company doctor, including that if the tumor was fully removed, the drainage tube would no longer be needed.
The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. Sultan Al-Saiari, Consultant Neurosurgeon. The operation lasted approximately 12 hours, during which the Anesthesia Department, led by Dr. Wael, played a crucial role in maintaining the patient’s stability under anesthesia. This stability contributed positively to the patient’s vital signs, allowing the operation to proceed smoothly without complications, despite previous surgical interventions.
The surgery was completed successfully, the tumor was fully removed, and the drainage tube was no longer required. The patient was transferred to the adult neurological ICU after awakening.
Once the patient’s condition stabilized in the ICU, an MRI confirmed the complete removal of the tumor. The patient began to regain movement in his limbs, significantly lifting his spirits, validating the meticulous surgical plan.
In recognition of this success, the company's director and other administrators visited Al-Mouwasat Hospital's senior management to express their gratitude to the hospital’s staff and medical teams overseeing the patient’s care.
The patient remains in the hospital under the follow-up care of related departments, including the rehabilitation and physical therapy units. He is expected to return to his normal life and resume work following physical therapy.
It is worth noting that performing such complex procedures in neurosurgery requires highly skilled surgeons and advanced technology to achieve the desired outcomes. This aligns with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of recruiting top talents in specialized medical fields and providing the latest medical technologies and equipment.

Al-Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
The medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar has successfully performed a corrective surgery for a recurrent inguinal hernia in a patient in his forties, using advanced robotic surgical technology. This achievement marks the first procedure of its kind in the private healthcare sector.
The patient visited the general surgery clinic one year after undergoing a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with mesh placement at another hospital. Unfortunately, the hernia reappeared within the first month after the initial operation, causing discomfort and prompting the patient to seek specialized care at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar.
Following a comprehensive evaluation, the medical team—led by Dr. Sami Al-Assari, Consultant of General Surgery, Obesity Surgery, Robotic Surgery, and Colon & Rectal Surgery, decided to perform a corrective robotic surgery due to the complexity and sensitivity of the case.
The robotic system enabled precise tissue dissection, complete removal of the recurrent hernia, and accurate placement of the mesh. The technology played a key role in reducing bleeding, minimizing postoperative pain, and protecting the vital structures surrounding the hernia site.
By the grace of God, the surgery was successful, and the patient was discharged in good health and without complications.
This accomplishment further strengthens the position of Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar as a leading center for advanced robotic surgeries in the region.

Al-Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
In a remarkable achievement at the level of the Kingdom, the medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully removed a rare 15 cm desmoid tumor from the small bowel mesentery using advanced robotic surgical technology.
A female patient in her thirties presented with abdominal swelling. After conducting the necessary diagnostic evaluations, imaging revealed a large tumor located within the mesentery of the small intestine, which was anatomically connected to the stomach due to a previous mini-gastric bypass procedure.
The tumor was completely excised using the robotic surgical system with exceptional precision, while preserving the main arterial supply to the remaining small intestine. A classic bypass reconstruction was also performed to ensure optimal postoperative function.
Dr. Sami Al-Assari – consultant of robotic surgery, oncology, colon & rectal surgery, and bariatric surgery explained that the robotic platform significantly contributed to the success of the operation by enabling:
Desmoid tumors are rare and often challenging to remove due to their tendency to grow aggressively and adhere to surrounding tissues. This case highlights the critical role of robotic surgery in performing such delicate and complex procedures safely and effectively.
Madinah – Mouwasat Hospital

The patient had previously undergone neck surgery at another hospital, but without improvement. He also received multiple conservative treatments, including painkillers, anti-inflammatory medications, and physiotherapy, yet his symptoms persisted and continued to limit his daily activities and mobility.
After reviewing the patient’s medical reports and imaging studies and performing a thorough clinical examination, the specialized medical team led by
identified the root cause of the problem and developed a clear surgical treatment plan. The plan and surgical steps were fully explained to the patient.
With the advanced capabilities of the Spine Surgery Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, a complex surgical procedure was performed, which included:
The surgery was successfully completed with high precision and without any complications.
On the day following the surgery, the patient was able to walk with ease and stability. The neurological symptoms he previously suffered from had noticeably improved. He was discharged in good health, showing significant enhancement in both neurological and motor functions.
This case highlights Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah’s commitment to delivering the highest standards of advanced medical care, especially in complex spine surgeries. Through the use of modern techniques and international clinical standards, the hospital continues to provide accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and improved quality of life for its patients.
