Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital

Mouwasat Hospital in Khobar continues to lead in advanced robotic surgical procedures. The medical team, led by Dr. Sami Al-Asari – Consultant in Robotic Surgery and Colorectal Tumors, successfully performed a complex surgery to remove a large tumor from the right colon of a patient in his thirties using robotic surgery technology.

Case Details

The patient came with chronic bleeding and low hemoglobin levels. After comprehensive diagnostic tests, including imaging and endoscopy, a tumor was detected in the right colon near the liver, requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

The procedure was carried out using the robotic surgical system, which enabled precise removal of the tumor and surrounding lymph nodes from their roots while preserving healthy tissues. This advanced technique significantly reduced pain—by up to 10 times compared to traditional or laparoscopic surgeries—and accelerated recovery time.

Post-Surgery Outcome

The patient was discharged in excellent health after a smooth recovery with no complications, reflecting the high level of expertise and advanced technology available at Mouwasat Hospital.
