First Bariatric Surgery Using ICG Technology via Robotic System in the Private Sector – A New Milestone for Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar
12/02/2026
Al-Khobar - Mouwasat Hospital
The medical team at Badana Center in Mouwasat Hospital Al-Khobar has successfully performed a distinguished and pioneering procedure—the first of its kind in the private healthcare sector in the Kingdom.
The surgery utilized ICG fluorescence imaging technology through the robotic surgery system to convert a previous sleeve gastrectomy into a mini gastric bypass.
The ICG technology significantly enhanced the surgeon’s visual accuracy during the procedure, enabling the medical team to precisely assess tissue integrity and reduce potential complications such as leakage, obstruction, or other surgery-related risks associated with complex bariatric procedures.
The medical team, led by Dr. Sultan Al Temyatt, emphasized that integrating robotic surgery with ICG technology represents a major leap in advanced bariatric surgery, offering higher levels of safety, precision, and efficiency, in addition to faster recovery and reduced postoperative risks.
The team expressed their appreciation to all medical staff involved in this achievement, which reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s commitment to adopting the latest global technologies and delivering advanced medical care in accordance with the highest standards.
