Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital 

In a groundbreaking achievement for the private healthcare sector in Saudi Arabia, the medical team at Mouwasat Hospital Khobar, led by Dr. Sami Al-Asari – Consultant in Robotic Surgery, General Surgery, Colorectal Tumors, and Bariatric Surgery, successfully performed a rare femoral hernia repair on a woman in her thirties using advanced robotic surgery technology. 

Case Details 

The patient arrived at the emergency department with severe pain and swelling in the groin area. Clinical and imaging examinations revealed a femoral hernia with trapped abdominal fat, requiring urgent surgical intervention to prevent serious complications such as intestinal obstruction. 

Robotic Surgery Technique and Its Advantages 

The procedure was performed using the robotic surgical system, which enabled precise removal of the hernia, placement of a supportive mesh, and meticulous suturing. Thanks to the 7-degree multi-angle joint technology, the surgeon achieved superior control and easy access to the hernia site. This advanced approach significantly reduced complications and accelerated recovery compared to traditional surgical methods. 

What Is a Femoral Hernia, and Why Is It Dangerous? 

A femoral hernia is a rare condition that occurs more frequently in women than men. Its danger lies in the narrow hernia opening, which can lead to entrapment of intestines or abdominal fat, potentially causing intestinal blockage in severe cases. 

Mouwasat Hospital’s Commitment to Excellence 

This success reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s ongoing investment in robotic surgery technologies and its dedication to attracting world-class medical expertise. The hospital strives to deliver comprehensive healthcare services aligned with international standards, reinforcing its position as a leading referral center in Saudi Arabia and the region. 

This achievement aligns with Mouwasat Medical Services Company’s vision to recruit top medical talent and provide facilities and equipment.

Life-Saving Intervention for a Patient with Severe Bleeding Caused by a Renal Tumor-Related Aneurysm 

The medical team successfully treated a patient suffering from severe internal bleeding resulting from an aneurysmal dilation of blood vessels associated with a tumor in the left kidney.

The procedure involved the precise embolization of the arteries feeding the aneurysmal lesion, which resulted in:

  • Complete cessation of bleeding 
  • Stabilization of the patient’s condition 
  • Safe discharge from the hospital after noticeable improvement 

Another Success: Treating a Complex Case of Acute Venous Thrombosis 

In a related achievement, the hospital recorded another successful intervention for a patient suffering from acute thrombosis in the pelvic and lower limb veins, a condition that poses serious risks if not managed promptly. 

Using the latest interventional radiology technologies, the medical team performed catheter-directed venous thrombectomy, which contributed to:

  • Significant improvement in blood flow 
  • Rapid stabilization of the patient’s clinical condition 
  • Prevention of further complications

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh received a patient referred from another hospital in the city who was suffering from rectal bleeding and a suspected bowel obstruction caused by an advanced cancerous tumor located in the upper rectum. Following an urgent assessment, the patient was admitted for the necessary laboratory tests and imaging studies. 

Evaluation of the Rectal Tumor 

A coordinated evaluation was conducted between the General Surgery Department and the Oncology Department to determine the optimal treatment plan. After reviewing the diagnostic results, the medical team decided to proceed with a surgical intervention led by: Dr. Ahmed Abdel Fattah Habib – Consultant of General Surgery & Oncology, with the assistance of Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hindawi – Specialist in General Surgery.

The patient was then prepared for a precise laparoscopic surgical procedure targeting the affected section of the colon and rectum. 

Laparoscopic Resection of the Rectal Tumor 

The entire procedure was performed using advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and included:

  • Resection of the lower sigmoid colon and upper rectum 
  • Colon-to-rectum anastomosis (reconnection) 
  • Radical lymph node dissection 

This complex operation required a high level of surgical expertise due to the tumor’s advanced stage and its presence in a sensitive anatomical region. 

Postoperative Recovery 

By the grace of God, the surgery was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in good health. 
He will continue to be monitored through follow-up visits in both the Surgery Clinic and the Oncology Clinic to ensure the completion of his treatment plan according to the highest medical standards. 

Mouwasat’s Commitment to Advanced Medical Care
