The medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar, under the supervision of Dr. Hassan Al-Qambar, a consultant in general surgery, thoracic surgery, and endoscopy, successfully extracted a pin from the trachea of a 6-year-old boy and a 25-year-old woman.
The boy arrived at the hospital's thoracic surgery department suffering from blood-streaked coughing, with his family unaware of the cause despite visiting numerous hospitals in the region without reaching a correct diagnosis. A chest X-ray revealed a large pin lodged in his trachea. An endoscopy was immediately performed, and the pin was successfully removed from the boy's trachea, with the assistance of Dr. Mohamed Ayoub, an anesthesiology consultant. Thankfully, the procedure was completed without complications.
In the same month, a 25-year-old woman visited the hospital, complaining of inhaling a pin she had placed in her mouth while wearing a hijab, which accidentally got inhaled and lodged in her left trachea. The patient was prepared for surgery, and a rigid tracheoscopy was performed to remove the pin.The woman recovered superbly and was discharged from the hospital the following day.
It is worth noting that airway surgeries are complex procedures requiring a specialized medical team and specific surgical tools. Mouwasat Hospitals are distinguished for providing this service at the highest level.

Madinah – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah has recorded a remarkable medical achievement in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, following the successful performance of a complex and advanced arthroscopic procedure to treat a chronic injury of the shoulder joint.
The procedure was performed on a patient in his early thirties who had been suffering from chronic shoulder pain, weakness, and instability in the right shoulder.
The patient had previously sustained an old shoulder dislocation and underwent a surgical procedure five years ago to repair torn shoulder tendons. However, his condition did not improve, and the pain persisted, with symptoms progressing to significant muscle weakness and reduced range of motion in the shoulder and arm.
Following a thorough clinical examination and detailed radiological assessment, the diagnosis revealed a neglected complete tear of the subscapularis tendon with associated muscle atrophy due to the prolonged duration of injury.
The medical team, led by Dr. Ahmed Al‑Shazly, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, explained the details of the condition to the patient, discussed the available treatment options, and outlined the expected outcomes.
Based on the complexity of the case and the degree of functional impairment, it was decided to proceed with advanced arthroscopic surgical intervention.
The patient underwent a highly delicate surgical procedure that lasted approximately three hours, which included:
This complex procedure required a high level of surgical expertise and technical precision due to the chronic nature of the injury and the presence of muscle atrophy.
By the grace of God, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good health and without any complications.
During the first postoperative follow‑up the next day, clinical assessment showed a clear improvement in the shoulder’s range of motion.
Physiotherapy sessions were initiated four weeks after surgery. Upon completion of the full rehabilitation program, the patient successfully regained approximately 80% of shoulder muscle strength and range of motion.
This type of advanced surgical procedure reflects the high level of precision and modern technology available at Mouwasat Hospitals, as well as the specialized expertise of its orthopedic and joint surgery teams. It further underscores the hospital’s dedication to providing the highest standards of medical care, contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh has achieved a significant medical milestone in the Department of Cardiology, following the successful performance of a transcatheter mitral valve repair using balloon valvuloplasty without the need for conventional surgical intervention.
The procedure was performed on a female patient in her early thirties who was suffering from severe mitral valve stenosis, which had been significantly affecting her quality of life.
The patient had been experiencing shortness of breath with minimal physical exertion, preventing her from carrying out normal daily activities. After conducting the necessary medical evaluations, including echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound), the examinations revealed severe mitral valve stenosis accompanied by elevated pulmonary artery pressure.
In this regard, Dr. Arafah Gomaa Ibrahim – Consultant and Head of the Department of Cardiology, explained that the diagnostic findings confirmed the need for an advanced therapeutic intervention to relieve symptoms and improve cardiac function without resorting to open-heart surgery.
Following a comprehensive review of the case by a multidisciplinary medical team comprising cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, and after clearly explaining the recommended treatment plan and obtaining written informed consent from the patient, the decision was made to proceed with balloon mitral valvuloplasty via cardiac catheterization.
The procedure was conducted successfully with the assistance of real-time echocardiographic guidance, which confirmed complete and effective mitral valve repair, eliminating the need for traditional surgical intervention.
By the grace of God, the patient regained consciousness immediately after the procedure without any recorded complications and was discharged from the hospital the following day in good health, with marked improvement in her respiratory symptoms.
