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.

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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
