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.
