Successful Removal of a Cholesteatoma
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Qatif succeeded in removing a large cholesteatoma from the middle ear and the mastoid prominence while fully preserving the patient's hearing. The patient was in his fifties.
Upon the patient's arrival at the hospital, the medical team, under the supervision of Dr. Majed Hussein, the consultant and head of the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Department, began monitoring the case. The examinations revealed that the patient was suffering from a chronic condition, which involved an abscessed cholesteatoma closely located to delicate structures in the middle ear, causing further inflammations and hearing impairment. Necessary examinations were performed in both the radiology and audiology departments.
After assessing the case, a decision was made to perform a precise surgical operation using a surgical microscope under general anaesthesia. The goal was to completely and definitively remove the cholesteatoma while ensuring the preservation of delicate auditory structures, leaving them in their natural position and not removing any part of them. Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and the patient was discharged the following day with his ear restored to its natural function and full hearing capacity.
It is worth noting that this type of surgery relies on modern medical techniques and highly trained medical professionals, in line with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting highly skilled medical professionals and precise medical specialities. This is achieved through the use of the latest advanced medical technologies and equipment in this field.
