A new medical achievement by the urology department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar, where the medical team was able to remove a malignant tumor from the left kidney of a patient. The challenge in this surgical procedure was the severe enlargement of the kidney, the presence of a large cystic tumor in the anterior and upper part of the kidney attached to the pancreas and colon, in addition to the risks of severe bleeding, lung membrane tear, and spleen injury. Overall, a very risky procedure.
The patient came to the clinic of Dr. Mohammed Hassan, a consultant in urology surgery, complaining of a tumor in the left kidney, urinary bleeding, and abdominal pain with a deteriorating general condition. Upon examination, multiple tumors were found with severe enlargement of the left kidney.
The patient underwent a series of accurate tests and necessary radiographs to establish a treatment plan, and after reviewing the case with the hospital's oncology department, Dr. Mohammed decided to quickly and radically remove the left kidney. After explaining the case in detail to the patient and his family and informing them of the possible complications, the procedure was performed.
By the grace of god and the efforts of our doctors, the surgery was successful without any complications. These operations require a high level of skill from the entire surgical team. Thankfully, the patient made a full recovery and was discharged from the hospital to resume his normal life.
It is worth mentioning that this type of surgery is considered a highly precise and complicated operation, this falls in line with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision to provide the highest levels of medical technologies, specialized professionals, and top-of-line medical care for all of our patients.

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.
