The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam succeeded in saving the life of a 12-hour-old infant from a complex disease, as he was suffering from severe difficulty breathing and severe cyanosis (oxygen level 60%) that did not improve with artificial respiration.
Immediately upon the newborn's arrival, the medical staff in the neonatal unit worked to stabilize his condition relatively. Immediately, Dr. Nevin Mamdouh, a consultant cardiologist and interventional catheterist for children and newborns, was summoned, who examined the newborn and performed the necessary tests. Ultrasound scans of the heart showed the presence of a complex congenital disease, which is a double inversion in the ventricles and arteries, severe enlargement of the heart muscle, and complete obstruction of the pulmonary valve. Which prevents blood from reaching the lungs and loading it with oxygen, which is the cause of severe blueness.
Dr. Nevin performed a temporary drug intervention to keep the arterial connection open.Then she performed a CT scan, which confirmed the same diagnosis, with the presence of severe tortuosity of the arterial connection and narrowing of the origin of the right pulmonary artery, which makes the condition more difficult. The only life-saving solution was to make a stent for the arterial connection. Due to its severe curvature and the presence of narrowing in the right pulmonary artery, Dr. Nevin placed 3 telescopic stents, the first of which was in the right pulmonary artery and the rest in the arterial connection. The lung was successfully perfused well and the newborn recovered.
It is worth mentioning that this type of catheter is considered the most advanced and complex in the field of interventional neonatal heart catheters, which is unique to Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam in the Eastern Province. This is in line with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and precise medical specialties while providing the latest medical technologies and equipment.

Al-Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
The medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar has successfully performed a corrective surgery for a recurrent inguinal hernia in a patient in his forties, using advanced robotic surgical technology. This achievement marks the first procedure of its kind in the private healthcare sector.
The patient visited the general surgery clinic one year after undergoing a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair with mesh placement at another hospital. Unfortunately, the hernia reappeared within the first month after the initial operation, causing discomfort and prompting the patient to seek specialized care at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar.
Following a comprehensive evaluation, the medical team—led by Dr. Sami Al-Assari, Consultant of General Surgery, Obesity Surgery, Robotic Surgery, and Colon & Rectal Surgery, decided to perform a corrective robotic surgery due to the complexity and sensitivity of the case.
The robotic system enabled precise tissue dissection, complete removal of the recurrent hernia, and accurate placement of the mesh. The technology played a key role in reducing bleeding, minimizing postoperative pain, and protecting the vital structures surrounding the hernia site.
By the grace of God, the surgery was successful, and the patient was discharged in good health and without complications.
This accomplishment further strengthens the position of Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar as a leading center for advanced robotic surgeries in the region.

Al-Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
In a remarkable achievement at the level of the Kingdom, the medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully removed a rare 15 cm desmoid tumor from the small bowel mesentery using advanced robotic surgical technology.
A female patient in her thirties presented with abdominal swelling. After conducting the necessary diagnostic evaluations, imaging revealed a large tumor located within the mesentery of the small intestine, which was anatomically connected to the stomach due to a previous mini-gastric bypass procedure.
The tumor was completely excised using the robotic surgical system with exceptional precision, while preserving the main arterial supply to the remaining small intestine. A classic bypass reconstruction was also performed to ensure optimal postoperative function.
Dr. Sami Al-Assari – consultant of robotic surgery, oncology, colon & rectal surgery, and bariatric surgery explained that the robotic platform significantly contributed to the success of the operation by enabling:
Desmoid tumors are rare and often challenging to remove due to their tendency to grow aggressively and adhere to surrounding tissues. This case highlights the critical role of robotic surgery in performing such delicate and complex procedures safely and effectively.
