Under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Al Rubaish, a consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Oncology, the medical team at Al Mouwasat Hospital in Al Khobar was able to end the suffering of a forty-year-old patient who had been suffering from severe uterine bleeding caused by the presence of a benign fibroid tumor measuring 11 cm within the uterine lining for 5 years. At that time, she was taken to the intensive care unit twice and needed more than ten blood transfusions. This made it impossible for her to go about her everyday life, and she did not respond to any assistance. All of the physicians who came to see her were unable to assist her since she refused to have her uterus removed.
The patient went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Al Mouwasat Hospital - Al Khobar to see Dr. Sarah Al Rubaish, who described the patient's situation and the significance of a two-stage surgical treatment based on worldwide criteria for uterine size. The fibroid tumor within the uterine lining is removed during this treatment to restore her capacity to live a normal life without bleeding while keeping the uterus. This is accomplished with the TrueClear vaginal hysteroscope, which offers clear visibility that allows the doctor to complete the procedure without stopping to clean the scope.
Tumor removal from the uterine lining through the vagina is a complicated surgical operation that is only performed in sophisticated medical institutes. The procedure was a success, thanks to Allah's mercy and wisdom, and the patient was allowed to return home in excellent health to resume her usual daily life.
This form of surgery is notable for its reliance on current medical technology, which coincides with Al Mouwasat Company's goal for medical services in attracting trained and precise sub-specializations and utilizing the most sophisticated medical technologies and equipment in this sector.
