In a significant medical achievement, the surgical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar, led by Dr. Hassan Al-Qambar, Consultant of General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Upper GI Surgery, Endoscopy, and Oncology Surgery, successfully performed a complex and delicate operation to remove a malignant tumor located in the middle of the chest and attached to the main arteries and heart. The procedure was carried out using advanced thoracoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical techniques, without the need for traditional open surgery.
Dr. Al-Qambar confirmed that the tumor was completely removed with the help of state-of-the-art technology that enabled the surgical team to avoid the significant risks associated with such a critical location. The operation was performed through small incisions using a high-precision thoracoscopic system, which minimized bleeding, reduced complications, and accelerated the patient’s recovery, allowing for a safe discharge from the hospital within a short period.
He further explained that the tumor was pressing on the heart and arteries, posing a serious threat to the patient’s life, and required both advanced surgical skills and specialized equipment—resources that are fully available at Mouwasat Hospital through its integrated medical environment and multidisciplinary expertise.
Dr. Al-Qambar highlighted that the use of minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery in such high-risk cases significantly shortens recovery time, reduces pain, and makes it possible to treat conditions that were once considered too dangerous for intervention.
He concluded by reaffirming Mouwasat Hospital’s commitment to delivering advanced healthcare, continuously investing in medical expertise and cutting-edge technology, and maintaining its position as one of the leading medical centers in the Middle East.
