The neurosurgery team saved the life of a patient in his forties who was in a deep coma due to a bleeding tumor in the brain ventricles. The patient was transferred from another hospital to the emergency department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Medina while in a deep coma. The medical team immediately dealt with his critical condition, treated the breathing and pressure disorders, and performed the necessary radiological examinations to diagnose the cause of the coma. The examination and scans showed the presence of a relatively large bleeding tumor in the brain ventricles. The patient was then transferred to the intensive care unit, where he was treated in several stages to control his condition and remove the tumor.

In the first stage, Dr. Magdy Al-Hawary, a consultant in neurosurgery, spine, and work team, used catheterization technology to drain the accumulated bleeding in the brain ventricles and treat the hydrocephalus (swelling and enlargement of the brain ventricles). In the second stage, Dr. Al-Hawary completely removed the tumor through advanced microscopic surgery. Thanks to God and His blessings, the operation was successful, and the patient was placed under observation in the intensive care unit until he fully regained consciousness, his condition improved, and he left the hospital to resume his normal life.

Brain ventricle tumor surgeries are advanced operations that require techniques based on microscopic devices and precise navigational exploration devices inside the brain, as well as high and accurate human experience to use these techniques to deal with such cases. This is in line with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting precise medical competencies and specialties while providing the latest medical technologies and equipment

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital 

In a remarkable achievement that reflects the advanced surgical expertise and commitment to excellence at Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, a specialized medical team successfully performed a radical gastrectomy to remove an advanced stomach tumor in a 70-year-old female patient who had been suffering from severe fatigue, significant weight loss, and persistent vomiting—unable to consume even water or juice. 

Comprehensive Case Evaluation 

The patient was referred from another hospital for feeding tube placement. Upon arrival, her case was immediately reviewed by a multidisciplinary medical committee led by Dr. Ahmed Al-Husseini, Consultant of General Surgery and Oncology, with participation from specialists in gastroenterology, endoscopy, diagnostic radiology, and oncology

After conducting essential investigations, including multi-slice CT scans and endoscopic biopsy, the team decided on urgent surgical intervention to remove the tumor. 

Advanced Surgical Gastrectomy 

The complex surgery involved: 

  • Radical resection of approximately 85% of the stomach. 
  • Complete removal of surrounding lymph nodes and peritoneal membranes to ensure no cancer cells remained, confirmed later by histopathology. 
  • Creation of a gastrointestinal anastomosis to connect the remaining stomach to the intestines, restoring the patient’s ability to eat. 

Recovery after Gastrectomy 

Following five days of intensive care, the patient gradually regained strength and was able to eat orally for the first time in over a month—a milestone in her recovery journey. She was discharged in excellent health, marking a significant success for the surgical team. 

Mouwasat commitment to excellence 

This achievement underscores Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to providing advanced medical care using cutting-edge technology and highly skilled professionals, ensuring optimal outcomes even in the most challenging cases.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah proudly announces the successful completion of a complex microsurgical procedure performed by Dr. Ahmed El Shazly, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery and Microsurgical Hand Procedures

Case Details 

A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic pain in the right leg, numbness, and altered sensation in the sole of the foot for over five years. The pain worsened with pressure or touch and intensified at night, causing severe insomnia. Despite consulting multiple physicians, the condition remained undiagnosed. 

Accurate Diagnosis 

Clinical examination and advanced imaging (X-ray and MRI) revealed a Tibial Nerve Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor located in the posterior compartment of the leg. This nerve controls foot movement and sole sensation. Continuous pressure from the tumor posed a risk of loss of sensation or motor weakness in the foot and toes. 

What is Tibial Nerve Schwannoma? 

A Tibial Nerve Schwannoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from Schwann cells that form the nerve sheath. It affects the tibial nerve, which is responsible for foot movement and sensation in the sole. While the tumor grows slowly, its enlargement can compress nerve fibers, leading to: 

  • Chronic leg pain 
  • Numbness or loss of sensation in the sole 
  • Weakness in foot and toe movement 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

Dr. El Shazly successfully performed a microsurgical excision of the tumor (5×3 cm) while preserving nerve fibers. The patient was discharged the next day without complications and experienced significant pain relief and restored sensation within days. Histopathology confirmed the complete removal of the schwannoma. 

Mouwasat Commitment to Excellence 

This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to advanced neurosurgical and orthopedic techniques, ensuring accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for optimal patient outcomes—aligned with our vision of delivering world-class healthcare.
