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.
In a new medical achievement, the Cardiac Surgery team at Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh successfully saved the life of a patient who arrived at the hospital in critical condition following an acute heart attack that resulted in a ventricular septal defect, accompanied by cardiogenic shock and severe pulmonary congestion, which are among the serious complications that may occur following myocardial infarction.
The patient’s treatment journey began with an urgent intervention by the cardiac catheterization team under the supervision of Dr. Saleh Alghofaili, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist. A successful therapeutic catheterization procedure was performed, during which stents were placed in the coronary arteries to restore blood flow to the heart muscle.
Due to the severe deterioration in blood circulation, cardiac function was supported using an Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump to help improve blood pumping and enhance cardiac perfusion. Afterwards, the Intensive Care team, led by Dr. Haitham Othman, Consultant and Head of the Intensive Care Department, closely and intensively monitored the patient’s condition for two weeks until the patient stabilized and became ready for surgical intervention.
After the patient’s condition stabilized, the Cardiac Surgery team, under the supervision of Dr. Waleed Alayadhi, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon, and with the participation of Dr. Mohamed Ali, Cardiac Surgery Specialist, and Dr. Adel Al-Jabali, Consultant Cardiac Anesthesiologist, performed a high-risk surgical procedure that included closing the ventricular septal defect and reconstructing the damaged part of the left ventricle caused by the heart attack, using advanced surgical techniques aimed at improving the efficiency of the heart muscle and restoring its functions.
By the grace of God, the operation was successful, and the patient showed good improvement in his health condition. He was transferred from the Intensive Care Unit to the inpatient ward one week after the operation in stable condition to complete the remaining stages of treatment and rehabilitation.
This success highlights the importance of integration among various medical specialties in managing critical and complex cardiac cases, starting with catheterization and intensive care and extending to cardiac surgery and anesthesia.

Madinah – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah has recorded a remarkable medical achievement in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, following the successful performance of a complex and advanced arthroscopic procedure to treat a chronic injury of the shoulder joint.
The procedure was performed on a patient in his early thirties who had been suffering from chronic shoulder pain, weakness, and instability in the right shoulder.
The patient had previously sustained an old shoulder dislocation and underwent a surgical procedure five years ago to repair torn shoulder tendons. However, his condition did not improve, and the pain persisted, with symptoms progressing to significant muscle weakness and reduced range of motion in the shoulder and arm.
Following a thorough clinical examination and detailed radiological assessment, the diagnosis revealed a neglected complete tear of the subscapularis tendon with associated muscle atrophy due to the prolonged duration of injury.
The medical team, led by Dr. Ahmed Al‑Shazly, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, explained the details of the condition to the patient, discussed the available treatment options, and outlined the expected outcomes.
Based on the complexity of the case and the degree of functional impairment, it was decided to proceed with advanced arthroscopic surgical intervention.
The patient underwent a highly delicate surgical procedure that lasted approximately three hours, which included:
This complex procedure required a high level of surgical expertise and technical precision due to the chronic nature of the injury and the presence of muscle atrophy.
By the grace of God, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good health and without any complications.
During the first postoperative follow‑up the next day, clinical assessment showed a clear improvement in the shoulder’s range of motion.
Physiotherapy sessions were initiated four weeks after surgery. Upon completion of the full rehabilitation program, the patient successfully regained approximately 80% of shoulder muscle strength and range of motion.
This type of advanced surgical procedure reflects the high level of precision and modern technology available at Mouwasat Hospitals, as well as the specialized expertise of its orthopedic and joint surgery teams. It further underscores the hospital’s dedication to providing the highest standards of medical care, contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
