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.

With the grace of Allah, the Neurosurgery Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully performed a high‑risk and rare microsurgical procedure to remove a large skull base tumor measuring more than 5 cm in the posterior cranial fossa, using the latest advanced neurosurgical technologies. 

Case Details and Diagnosis 

A 44‑year‑old female patient was referred to Mouwasat Hospital from another healthcare facility. Comprehensive clinical evaluation and advanced imaging revealed a large tumor located at the skull base, close to critical neurological centers—necessitating an urgent and highly precise surgical intervention due to its sensitive location. 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. Omar Al‑Falaki, Consultant Neurosurgeon
with the support of a specialized multidisciplinary surgical team.

  • A high‑resolution surgical microscope 
  • An advanced surgical navigation system 
  • Continuous intraoperative motor function monitoring (IONM) 

The procedure lasted more than 10 continuous hours, ensuring accurate and safe removal of the tumor while preserving surrounding neurological functions. 

Postoperative Rehabilitation
