Praise be to God and his success, the medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Medina succeeded in ending the suffering of a sixty-year-old from anal bleeding while changing his bowel habits.

Immediately upon the patient’s arrival at the hospital, laboratory tests, x-rays, and a colonoscopy were performed, which revealed the presence of a cancerous tumor at the end of the sigmoid colon and the beginning of the rectum, specifically 13 cm from the anus. After an investigative CT scan with dye to rule out secondary infections and taking a tissue biopsy, the patient’s condition was explained and he was qualified for laparoscopic surgery under the supervision of Dr. Ahmed Al-Husseini, Consultant in General Surgery, Oncology and Endoscopy. The patient entered the General Surgery Department to prepare him for the operation to perform a laparoscopic partial resection of the left colon with the help of surgical staplers through small incisions instead of a surgical incision, which reduces the recovery and recovery period by at least 50%, and also reduces the patient’s need for painkillers, in addition to reducing complications. The wound is large.

The operation and what followed were completed successfully, and the patient entered a period of recovery and close observation in the hospital with full nutrition intravenously, and then the processes of natural elimination and eating through the mouth gradually began naturally, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the fifth day. Thank God, the operation to remove the left colon and the first anastomosis in one stage was successful, with sufficient safety space, the tumor was radically removed along with all the lymph nodes, and x-rays were performed with ascending dye to ensure that no leakage had occurred. It is worth noting that the integration of medical services at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Medina made it possible to treat such complex cases, as there was complete cooperation between the departments of surgery, anesthesia, gastrointestinal endoscopy, oncology, diagnostic radiology and tissue examination, in addition to the role of the nursing staff and the supporting departments.

This surgery is a highly precise and highly complex operation that is in line with Al Mouwasat Company’s vision of attracting competencies and precise medical specialties while providing the latest medical technologies and equipment.

Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital continues to reinforce its leadership in advanced surgical care across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. Under the expertise of Dr. Hassan Alqumber, Consultant in General Surgery, Chest Surgery, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Endoscopy, and Robotic Surgery, the hospital’s thoracic surgery team is pioneering the use of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for displaced rib fracture repair. This makes Mouwasat one of the first centers in the region to adopt this latest technique. 

What is VATS Rib Fracture Repair? 

This minimally invasive procedure represents a major breakthrough in thoracic surgery, offering patients multiple benefits: 

  • High precision in rib fixation 
  • Reduced post-operative pain 
  • Faster recovery and return to normal activity 
  • Lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery 

The surgery involves creating small incisions in the chest wall, using a high-definition thoracoscopic camera, and fixing fractured ribs with specialized plates and screws. 

Evidence-Based Outcomes 

Global medical studies confirm that minimally invasive rib fracture repair leads to: 

  • Improved lung function 
  • Reduced need for mechanical ventilation 
  • Lower incidence of pneumonia 
  • Decreased chronic pain 
  • Faster return to daily life 

This makes VATS rib fixation a gold standard for managing severe chest injuries and displaced rib fractures. 

Dr. Hassan Alqumber’s Role 

Dr. Hassan Alqumber is among the first surgeons in Saudi Arabia to integrate this advanced technique into thoracic surgery practices. His extensive experience in general, thoracic, and robotic surgery has delivered exceptional patient outcomes and elevated the hospital’s readiness for complex cases. 

He also plays a key role in training surgical teams and advancing clinical skills, reinforcing Mouwasat Hospital’s position as a regional leader in specialized surgical care. 

Mouwasat is Shaping the Future of Surgery in the Gulf 

By combining medical expertise with state-of-the-art technology, Mouwasat Hospital is setting new benchmarks in chest trauma management. This initiative reflects the hospital’s commitment to innovative surgical solutions and world-class patient care.

Mouwasat Hospital - Khobar 

In a remarkable medical achievement that reflects the readiness of the medical staff and the efficiency of emergency services at Mouwasat Hospital in Khobar, the surgical team led by Dr. Hossam Abter -Consultant of General Surgery, Advanced Laparoscopy, and Robotic Surgery- successfully saved the life of a patient suffering from severe abdominal and systemic poisoning caused by a large stomach wall perforation. The high-risk emergency surgery was performed after midnight. 

Case Details 

The patient arrived at the Emergency Room in critical condition, complaining of severe abdominal pain that had persisted for several days, accompanied by low blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat, which required immediate intervention for accurate diagnosis and treatment. 

Clinical and imaging examinations revealed a large perforation in the stomach wall, leading to leakage of digestive fluids into the abdominal cavity and causing acute poisoning that posed a life-threatening risk. 

Precise Surgical Intervention 

The patient was urgently transferred to the operating room, where a complex emergency surgery was performed, including: 

  • Closing the stomach perforation. 
  • Thorough cleaning of the abdominal cavity. 
  • Continuous monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit for several days. 

By the grace of God, the patient’s condition stabilized, and he was discharged from the hospital six days after surgery in good health. 

Importance of Rapid Response 

Dr. Hossam Abter emphasized that such cases are among the most critical surgical emergencies, where any delay -even for a few hours-could lead to fatal complications. He confirmed that the readiness of the medical team and the speed of decision-making were decisive factors in the success of the operation. 

Mouwasat’s Commitment to Excellence 

This achievement highlights Mouwasat Medical Services Company’s commitment to providing comprehensive medical care around the clock, utilizing the latest medical technologies and specialized teams to ensure rapid response and save lives in the most critical moments.
