The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar has successfully performed a robotic surgery to repair abdominal muscle separation and a hernia for an American professor.

The patient visited the General Surgery Clinic at Al-Mouwasat Hospital, Al-Khobar, where he was examined by Dr. Sami Al-Asari, Assistant Professor and Consultant in Robotic Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, and Colon Surgery. The patient was experiencing abdominal swelling, and after thorough examinations and imaging, it was revealed that there was a significant separation of the abdominal muscles along with a central hernia.

The surgery was conducted using a surgical robot to close the hernia and place a supporting mesh through three small incisions, each no larger than 8 mm. The robotic arms, which can maneuver at seven different angles, allowed the surgeon to stitch the muscles from the inside—a procedure that is not feasible with traditional laparoscopic surgery and usually requires a large vertical abdominal incision, which could lead to post-operative pain and wound infections. This is what makes robotic surgeries superior to conventional and laparoscopic methods.

Thankfully, the surgery was a success, and the patient has been monitored in the clinic with no complications. He is now in excellent health.

It is worth noting that this type of surgery relies on advanced technology and a highly trained medical team, which aligns with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting top talents and specialized expertise while utilizing the latest medical technologies and treatment methods.

Dammam – Mouwasat Hospital 

With the grace of Allah, the Neurosurgery Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully performed a high‑risk and rare microsurgical procedure to remove a large skull base tumor measuring more than 5 cm in the posterior cranial fossa, using the latest advanced neurosurgical technologies. 

Case Details and Diagnosis 

A 44‑year‑old female patient was referred to Mouwasat Hospital from another healthcare facility. Comprehensive clinical evaluation and advanced imaging revealed a large tumor located at the skull base, close to critical neurological centers—necessitating an urgent and highly precise surgical intervention due to its sensitive location. 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. Omar Al‑Falaki, Consultant Neurosurgeon
with the support of a specialized multidisciplinary surgical team. 

The tumor was completely resected using: 

  • A high‑resolution surgical microscope 
  • An advanced surgical navigation system 
  • Continuous intraoperative motor function monitoring (IONM) 

The procedure lasted more than 10 continuous hours, ensuring accurate and safe removal of the tumor while preserving surrounding neurological functions. 

Postoperative Rehabilitation 

Following surgery, the patient underwent an intensive rehabilitation program at the hospital’s Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center. By the grace of Allah, she made a remarkable recovery, regaining full mobility and returning to her family to resume her daily life normally.
