Al-Mowasat Hospital Team in Dammam succeeded in treating a 17 years young person with Wolff Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome using thermal cauterization.
The WPW patient arrived at the hospital while was suffering from abnormal heart rate (above 200 BPM) as well as lack of consciousness due to increased electricity in the heart.
The patient was undergone electrocardiogram test revealing existence of further electrical pathway leading to heart rhythm changes. Such pathway is positioned next to the normal electrical system, making it impossible to perform to perform heart thermal cauterization and it will most possibly lead to the electrical system disruption, if performed. Dr. Ahmed Taha, the electrocardiogram team leader, overcome such challenge by accurately positioning the electrical system and eliminated the additional electrical pathway. Following the operation, the health condition of the patient improved considerably after.
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a rare medical condition resulting in not life-threatening accelerated heart rate accidents, but it may lead to serious problems in the heart.
It is worth noting that this technique is the most advanced and is in line with the vision of Al-Mowasat Medical Services Company to attract highly specialized talents and procuring the latest medical technologies and equipment.
Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital continues to reinforce its leadership in advanced surgical care across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. Under the expertise of Dr. Hassan Alqumber, Consultant in General Surgery, Chest Surgery, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Endoscopy, and Robotic Surgery, the hospital’s thoracic surgery team is pioneering the use of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for displaced rib fracture repair. This makes Mouwasat one of the first centers in the region to adopt this latest technique.
This minimally invasive procedure represents a major breakthrough in thoracic surgery, offering patients multiple benefits:
The surgery involves creating small incisions in the chest wall, using a high-definition thoracoscopic camera, and fixing fractured ribs with specialized plates and screws.
Global medical studies confirm that minimally invasive rib fracture repair leads to:
This makes VATS rib fixation a gold standard for managing severe chest injuries and displaced rib fractures.
Dr. Hassan Alqumber is among the first surgeons in Saudi Arabia to integrate this advanced technique into thoracic surgery practices. His extensive experience in general, thoracic, and robotic surgery has delivered exceptional patient outcomes and elevated the hospital’s readiness for complex cases.
He also plays a key role in training surgical teams and advancing clinical skills, reinforcing Mouwasat Hospital’s position as a regional leader in specialized surgical care.
By combining medical expertise with state-of-the-art technology, Mouwasat Hospital is setting new benchmarks in chest trauma management. This initiative reflects the hospital’s commitment to innovative surgical solutions and world-class patient care.
Mouwasat Hospital - Khobar
In a remarkable medical achievement that reflects the readiness of the medical staff and the efficiency of emergency services at Mouwasat Hospital in Khobar, the surgical team led by Dr. Hossam Abter -Consultant of General Surgery, Advanced Laparoscopy, and Robotic Surgery- successfully saved the life of a patient suffering from severe abdominal and systemic poisoning caused by a large stomach wall perforation. The high-risk emergency surgery was performed after midnight.
The patient arrived at the Emergency Room in critical condition, complaining of severe abdominal pain that had persisted for several days, accompanied by low blood pressure and a rapid heartbeat, which required immediate intervention for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical and imaging examinations revealed a large perforation in the stomach wall, leading to leakage of digestive fluids into the abdominal cavity and causing acute poisoning that posed a life-threatening risk.
The patient was urgently transferred to the operating room, where a complex emergency surgery was performed, including:
By the grace of God, the patient’s condition stabilized, and he was discharged from the hospital six days after surgery in good health.
Dr. Hossam Abter emphasized that such cases are among the most critical surgical emergencies, where any delay -even for a few hours-could lead to fatal complications. He confirmed that the readiness of the medical team and the speed of decision-making were decisive factors in the success of the operation.
