Life-Saving Intervention for a Patient with Severe Bleeding Caused by a Renal Tumor-Related Aneurysm 

The medical team successfully treated a patient suffering from severe internal bleeding resulting from an aneurysmal dilation of blood vessels associated with a tumor in the left kidney.

  • Complete cessation of bleeding 
  • Stabilization of the patient’s condition 
  • Safe discharge from the hospital after noticeable improvement 

Another Success: Treating a Complex Case of Acute Venous Thrombosis 

In a related achievement, the hospital recorded another successful intervention for a patient suffering from acute thrombosis in the pelvic and lower limb veins, a condition that poses serious risks if not managed promptly. 

Using the latest interventional radiology technologies, the medical team performed catheter-directed venous thrombectomy, which contributed to:

  • Significant improvement in blood flow

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh received a patient referred from another hospital in the city who was suffering from rectal bleeding and a suspected bowel obstruction caused by an advanced cancerous tumor located in the upper rectum. Following an urgent assessment, the patient was admitted for the necessary laboratory tests and imaging studies. 

Evaluation of the Rectal Tumor

After reviewing the diagnostic results, the medical team decided to proceed with a surgical intervention led by: Dr. Ahmed Abdel Fattah Habib – Consultant of General Surgery & Oncology, with the assistance of Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hindawi – Specialist in General Surgery.

The patient was then prepared for a precise laparoscopic surgical procedure targeting the affected section of the colon and rectum.

The entire procedure was performed using advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and included:

  • Resection of the lower sigmoid colon and upper rectum 
  • Colon-to-rectum anastomosis (reconnection)
