A New Medical Achievement at Al-Mouwasat in Dammam

The medical team specializing in pediatric cardiology at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully saved the life of a newborn baby girl named Khadija, weighing 1800 grams, who was suffering from respiratory distress due to the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, causing excessive blood flow to the lungs and resulting in congestion.

As soon as the baby arrived, transferred from Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail to Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam, the recommendation from Dr. Mohammed Samir, a consultant in pediatric cardiology at Al-Mouwasat in Jubail Industrial City, was to surgically close the arterial connection in the child.

Dr. Rami Haddad, a consultant in pediatrics and neonatology at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, received the baby, and she was evaluated by Dr. Nevine Mamdouh, a consultant in pediatric interventional cardiology, who decided that it was possible to close the PDA without resorting to surgery using the catheterization technique and the modern Piccolo device. This technique, which was first introduced globally in 2019, has proven successful. Under the supervision of Dr. Nevine, the medical team immediately performed the catheterization procedure on the newborn, and through the grace of god, the PDA was successfully closed. The baby was discharged from the hospital the next day after her condition improved, and she is currently being followed up at the outpatient clinics of Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam.

It is worth mentioning that this type of procedure relies on highly skilled medical professionals and scientific techniques that align with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting specialized expertise and sub-disciplines. This is achieved by utilizing the latest advanced medical technologies and equipment in this field.

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. 
The case required urgent intervention, which was performed under local anesthesia using advanced interventional radiology techniques. 

The procedure involved the precise embolization of the arteries feeding the aneurysmal lesion, which resulted in:

  • 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 
  • Rapid stabilization of the patient’s clinical condition 
  • Prevention of further complications

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 

A coordinated evaluation was conducted between the General Surgery Department and the Oncology Department to determine the optimal treatment plan. 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. 

Laparoscopic Resection of the Rectal Tumor 

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) 
  • Radical lymph node dissection 

This complex operation required a high level of surgical expertise due to the tumor’s advanced stage and its presence in a sensitive anatomical region. 

Postoperative Recovery 

By the grace of God, the surgery was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in good health. 
He will continue to be monitored through follow-up visits in both the Surgery Clinic and the Oncology Clinic to ensure the completion of his treatment plan according to the highest medical standards.
