With the grace of God, the Premature and Newborn Department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah under the supervision of Dr. Khalil Al-Taweel, the Preterm and Newborn Consultant, managed to treat a baby girl weighing 900 grams, who was born after only 28 weeks of pregnancy, the baby experienced tingling of the radial artery in the hands, disturbance and a severe rise in arterial tension in the upper extremities and parts of the right chest wall and the face on the first day of her birth; which resulted in a severe drop in blood circulation and pallor in color, which included the upper limbs of the fingers to the shoulders and parts of the right side of the chest and forehead. This state of disorder continued repeatedly and intermittently which made the medical team intervene in the diagnosis and treatment of the newborn.
The occurrence of this arterial tension in various parts of the body with this degree of severity after a puncture of the radial artery of a premature baby weighing less than a kilogram is considered one of the very rare cases, and by the grace of God, the girl left the hospital when she weighed one kilo and 800 grams and is in a good health condition.
It is worth noting that this type of care depends on modern medical technology, which is in line with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company to attract talents and delicate sub-specialties through the use of the latest technologies and advanced medical equipment in this field.

In a medical achievement reflecting the expertise of specialized medical professionals and the advanced capabilities at Mouwasat Hospital Dammam, Dr. Ihab Zureiqat, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Endoscopist, successfully treated a 12-year-old girl after she swallowed a pin that became lodged in the third part of the duodenum, one of the most anatomically difficult areas to reach and manage through gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Medical examinations and assessments showed that the pin had become lodged transversely inside the intestine and had penetrated the folds of the duodenum. Its distant location and the way it was embedded within the intestinal folds made its removal highly precise and complex, requiring specialized therapeutic intervention using advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy techniques.
By the grace of God, followed by the specialized medical expertise of Dr. Ihab Zureiqat and the supporting medical team, a precise therapeutic endoscopic procedure was performed, successfully removing the pin without the need for any surgical intervention, while preserving the surrounding tissues and with no complications recorded during or after the procedure.
The girl was discharged from the hospital in stable condition after confirming her full recovery and the success of the therapeutic procedure, reflecting the advanced level of medical care provided by the hospital and its ability to manage rare and complex cases according to the latest medical practices.

Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu received a patient who had been suffering from chronic shoulder pain and spasms for more than five years, without noticeable improvement despite undergoing medication and physiotherapy, in addition to consulting several medical specialties and undergoing detailed examinations including nerve conduction studies and an MRI scan of the shoulder.
Examinations revealed compression of the motor nerve above the shoulder blade, along with narrowing in the passage of the shoulder tendons, which explained the spasms and chronic symptoms she had been experiencing.
After evaluating her condition, the medical team decided to perform a delicate arthroscopic surgical intervention aimed at releasing the nerve and widening the muscle passage, which is considered one of the procedures requiring advanced surgical expertise and high precision.
The operation was performed by Dr. Mohamed Hassan Alsaeed, Consultant Orthopedic Surgery. By the grace and will of God, the surgery was successful, and the patient experienced noticeable improvement in her condition immediately after the procedure.
The patient also expressed her gratitude through a thank-you message to the hospital and the medical team in appreciation of the medical and humane care she received.
By the grace of God first, and then thanks to the efficiency of the medical team and the advanced equipment, suffering that had lasted for years came to an end, allowing the patient to begin a new stage of greater comfort and improved quality of life.
This success reflects Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu’s commitment to providing specialized care for delicate cases through qualified professionals and modern technologies that place the patient’s needs at the forefront of priorities.
Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu received an exceptional case involving a patient with a fracture of the right femoral neck, along with several chronic diseases and multiple health complications. She had been staying at a hospital in the Umluj region, where she received conservative treatment due to the complexity of her health condition.
As her suffering continued, the patient’s son visited the outpatient clinics at Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu carrying her medical reports. Her condition was reviewed and assessed, and based on this evaluation, the decision was made to proceed with surgical intervention after a comprehensive assessment of her health status.
A multidisciplinary consultant team comprising specialists in orthopedics, anesthesia, cardiology, and internal medicine was formed to carefully evaluate the case and develop a treatment plan that addressed her health challenges and ensured her safety.
After completing the necessary examinations and medical preparations, Dr. Mohamed Hassan Alsaeed, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery, successfully performed the operation. A cemented hemiarthroplasty of the hip was performed using an advanced technique in coordination with the relevant medical specialties.
By the grace of God, the operation was successful, and the patient was able to move her leg and walk on the same day after previously being bedridden and unable to move because of the fracture.
The positive impact of this improvement also extended to her psychological and emotional well-being, as she regained her confidence and sense of hope after a long period of suffering and limited mobility.
By the grace of God and through the integrated efforts and expertise of the medical teams, the treating team successfully overcame the complexities of the case and helped the patient regain her mobility and return to a better quality of life.
This success reflects Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu’s commitment to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care through specialized medical professionals and multidisciplinary collaboration, contributing to the best possible treatment outcomes and improved quality of life for patients.
Mouwasat Hospital in Yanbu received a patient suffering from severe pain on the right side, accompanied by urinary retention and blood in the urine, which required a number of medical and diagnostic examinations to determine the cause of the symptoms.
CT scans revealed swelling and enlargement of the right kidney, along with suspicious tissue masses, which required further examinations to determine the nature of these masses and identify the appropriate treatment plan.
To reach an accurate diagnosis before deciding on surgical intervention, the patient underwent an endoscopic procedure using rigid and flexible ureteroscopy. The ureter and the pelvis of the right kidney were accessed, and multiple tissue samples were taken for examination.
Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a multifocal malignant tissue tumor in the renal pelvis and right ureter, measuring up to 7 cm. This required radical surgical intervention to control the tumor and reduce the possibility of its spread.
The patient underwent a major and delicate surgical procedure during which the right kidney and ureter were removed. After the operation, he was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit, where he underwent close medical monitoring, including observation of vital signs and the function of the remaining kidney.
By the grace of God, followed by accurate medical assessment, surgical planning, and the integrated care received by the patient, his condition began to improve noticeably from the fourth and fifth days after surgery. His bowel function returned to normal, and he gradually began eating and drinking. Inflammatory markers also decreased significantly, while the function of the remaining kidney stabilized, with excellent and clear urine output.
By the seventh day, the patient showed significant improvement. He was fully conscious and stable, with no fever, almost no pain, stable gastrointestinal and kidney functions, and a dry and clean surgical wound. He was therefore ready to complete the discharge process after successfully passing through the surgical and recovery stages.
This success was achieved, by the grace of God first, through the integrated efforts of the medical team and coordination among different specialties, alongside the advanced capabilities, equipment, and specialized professionals provided by Mouwasat Hospital to manage complex surgical cases in accordance with the highest standards of medical quality and safety.
An integrated medical team at Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu successfully saved the life of a patient with diabetes who arrived at the hospital in critical condition after suffering from severe pain and significant swelling in the groin area, along with a sharp rise in blood infection markers.
Following thorough medical examinations, the patient was diagnosed with a scrotal pyocele. Despite the immediate initiation of conservative treatment and strong antibiotics, the patient did not respond to treatment, and his condition continued to deteriorate, creating an imminent risk of progression to life-threatening Fournier’s gangrene.
Surgical intervention presented a major challenge due to the patient’s impaired heart muscle function, which increased the risks associated with anesthesia and surgery. Given the complexity of the case, the medical team held a multidisciplinary meeting involving physicians from Urology, Anesthesia, Intensive Care, Nephrology, and hospital management to assess the case and discuss the available treatment options.
After a comprehensive evaluation, the medical team agreed that surgical intervention represented the final option to save the patient’s life. The potential cardiac and anesthesia-related risks were explained to the patient and his family, who expressed their confidence in the medical team and agreed to proceed with the operation.
During surgery, the medical team faced an additional challenge when the patient developed instability in his vital signs and heart rate. This required immediate intervention by the anesthesia team to manage the situation and maintain the patient’s stability, while the surgical team continued the procedure, successfully removing the abscess, cleaning the affected area, and placing a drainage tube.
After the operation, the patient was transferred directly to the Intensive Care Unit for close monitoring, including observation of heart function, vital signs, and blood glucose levels, alongside the necessary care throughout the recovery period.
By the grace of God first, followed by the rapid response to the case, the integration of different medical specialties, and the team’s expertise in managing critical and complex conditions, the medical team successfully overcame the challenges associated with the case. The patient regained consciousness, and his vital signs and overall health gradually stabilized until he recovered and left the Intensive Care Unit in stable condition.
This success reflects Mouwasat Hospital Yanbu’s continued commitment to providing advanced medical care for critical and complex cases through specialized medical professionals and multidisciplinary teams working in an integrated manner to provide patients with the highest levels of medical care.
