 The patient attended Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam suffering from unstable angina pectoris. He is a patient with blood sugar, high blood pressure, and a smoker at the age of 42. All the above factors are risk factors that qualify for coronary insufficiency.

A diagnostic catheter was performed and it was found that the coronary arteries were blocked (the main anterior descending and circular artery), and the treating medical team (cardiac and thoracic surgery/heart and blood vessels / intensive care) decided that the optimal treatment for his condition is an open heart operation, and given Because of his young age and his desire to return to normal life and practice his work in the shortest possible time, he chose to perform the heart operation through the latest open heart techniques (which is being conducted for the first time in the Kingdom), which is by opening a small incision not exceeding several centimeters in the front chest wall of the chest. The left side up to the heart from the chest muscle without breaking the ribs in order to avoid the usual procedure through the incision of the sternum, which needs a healing period of two to three months for the patient to return to his normal state and practice his work as usual.

The operation was successfully performed and the coronary arteries were connected, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care room for two days only until he recovered completely, and then he was transferred to a normal room for two days before leaving the hospital in full health and wellness, praise be to God.

It is worth noting that this type of operation is considered the most advanced in the field of cardiothoracic surgery and is in line with the vision of the Mouwasat Medical Services Company to attract qualified medical professionals and specialties while providing the latest technologies and medical equipment.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital 

In a remarkable achievement that reflects the advanced surgical expertise and commitment to excellence at Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, a specialized medical team successfully performed a radical gastrectomy to remove an advanced stomach tumor in a 70-year-old female patient who had been suffering from severe fatigue, significant weight loss, and persistent vomiting—unable to consume even water or juice. 

Comprehensive Case Evaluation 

The patient was referred from another hospital for feeding tube placement. Upon arrival, her case was immediately reviewed by a multidisciplinary medical committee led by Dr. Ahmed Al-Husseini, Consultant of General Surgery and Oncology, with participation from specialists in gastroenterology, endoscopy, diagnostic radiology, and oncology

After conducting essential investigations, including multi-slice CT scans and endoscopic biopsy, the team decided on urgent surgical intervention to remove the tumor. 

Advanced Surgical Gastrectomy 

The complex surgery involved: 

  • Radical resection of approximately 85% of the stomach. 
  • Complete removal of surrounding lymph nodes and peritoneal membranes to ensure no cancer cells remained, confirmed later by histopathology. 
  • Creation of a gastrointestinal anastomosis to connect the remaining stomach to the intestines, restoring the patient’s ability to eat. 

Recovery after Gastrectomy 

Following five days of intensive care, the patient gradually regained strength and was able to eat orally for the first time in over a month—a milestone in her recovery journey. She was discharged in excellent health, marking a significant success for the surgical team. 

Mouwasat commitment to excellence 

This achievement underscores Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to providing advanced medical care using cutting-edge technology and highly skilled professionals, ensuring optimal outcomes even in the most challenging cases.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah proudly announces the successful completion of a complex microsurgical procedure performed by Dr. Ahmed El Shazly, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery and Microsurgical Hand Procedures

Case Details 

A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic pain in the right leg, numbness, and altered sensation in the sole of the foot for over five years. The pain worsened with pressure or touch and intensified at night, causing severe insomnia. Despite consulting multiple physicians, the condition remained undiagnosed. 

Accurate Diagnosis 

Clinical examination and advanced imaging (X-ray and MRI) revealed a Tibial Nerve Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor located in the posterior compartment of the leg. This nerve controls foot movement and sole sensation. Continuous pressure from the tumor posed a risk of loss of sensation or motor weakness in the foot and toes. 

What is Tibial Nerve Schwannoma? 

A Tibial Nerve Schwannoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from Schwann cells that form the nerve sheath. It affects the tibial nerve, which is responsible for foot movement and sensation in the sole. While the tumor grows slowly, its enlargement can compress nerve fibers, leading to: 

  • Chronic leg pain 
  • Numbness or loss of sensation in the sole 
  • Weakness in foot and toe movement 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

Dr. El Shazly successfully performed a microsurgical excision of the tumor (5×3 cm) while preserving nerve fibers. The patient was discharged the next day without complications and experienced significant pain relief and restored sensation within days. Histopathology confirmed the complete removal of the schwannoma. 

Mouwasat Commitment to Excellence 

This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to advanced neurosurgical and orthopedic techniques, ensuring accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for optimal patient outcomes—aligned with our vision of delivering world-class healthcare.
