The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah succeeded in saving the life of a sixty-year-old patient suffering from complete bowel obstruction due to a cancerous tumor in the left colon.

The patient arrived at the hospital for a colonoscopy at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Department, which revealed the occurrence of bowel obstruction caused by the cancerous tumor located 70 centimeters from the rectum. After performing a contrast-enhanced CT scan, taking a biopsy through endoscopy, and examining the tissue, it was confirmed that the tumor was an advanced cancerous growth. Consequently, the patient was transferred to the General Surgery and Oncology Department under the care and supervision of Dr. Ahmed Fathy Al-Husseini, a consultant in general surgery, to prepare for a major operation to partially remove the left colon.

During the preparation phase, the patient experienced a heart attack and coronary artery blockage. Immediate cardiac catheterization was performed, and stents were placed to save the heart muscle. The patient was then transferred to the cardiac care unit.

After the patient's condition stabilized, a committee consisting of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, and oncologists convened to determine the best treatment options. With the patient and family's consent, a successful operation was performed to remove the left colon, establish an initial connection in one stage with an adequate safety margin, and completely excise the tumor along with all lymph nodes.

The patient received complete nutrition through a central venous catheter, and the cardiac team monitored heart functions. Subsequently, the patient achieved natural bowel movements and resumed oral intake. Post-operative imaging with contrast was conducted to confirm the success of the procedure.

Thankfully, the patient's condition improved, and within a week, the patient started gaining weight. After a month of recovery, the patient will begin further cancer treatment.

It is worth mentioning that the integration of medical services at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah has made it possible to treat such complex and advanced cases. This aligns with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company to attract highly skilled professionals and specialized sub-disciplines by utilizing the latest advanced medical techniques and equipment in this field.

Life-Saving Intervention for a Patient with Severe Bleeding Caused by a Renal Tumor-Related Aneurysm 

The medical team successfully treated a patient suffering from severe internal bleeding resulting from an aneurysmal dilation of blood vessels associated with a tumor in the left kidney. 
The case required urgent intervention, which was performed under local anesthesia using advanced interventional radiology techniques. 

The procedure involved the precise embolization of the arteries feeding the aneurysmal lesion, which resulted in:

  • Complete cessation of bleeding 
  • Stabilization of the patient’s condition 
  • Safe discharge from the hospital after noticeable improvement 

Another Success: Treating a Complex Case of Acute Venous Thrombosis 

In a related achievement, the hospital recorded another successful intervention for a patient suffering from acute thrombosis in the pelvic and lower limb veins, a condition that poses serious risks if not managed promptly. 

Using the latest interventional radiology technologies, the medical team performed catheter-directed venous thrombectomy, which contributed to:

  • Significant improvement in blood flow 
  • Rapid stabilization of the patient’s clinical condition 
  • Prevention of further complications

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh received a patient referred from another hospital in the city who was suffering from rectal bleeding and a suspected bowel obstruction caused by an advanced cancerous tumor located in the upper rectum. Following an urgent assessment, the patient was admitted for the necessary laboratory tests and imaging studies. 

Evaluation of the Rectal Tumor 

A coordinated evaluation was conducted between the General Surgery Department and the Oncology Department to determine the optimal treatment plan. After reviewing the diagnostic results, the medical team decided to proceed with a surgical intervention led by: Dr. Ahmed Abdel Fattah Habib – Consultant of General Surgery & Oncology, with the assistance of Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hindawi – Specialist in General Surgery.

The patient was then prepared for a precise laparoscopic surgical procedure targeting the affected section of the colon and rectum. 

Laparoscopic Resection of the Rectal Tumor 

The entire procedure was performed using advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and included:

  • Resection of the lower sigmoid colon and upper rectum 
  • Colon-to-rectum anastomosis (reconnection) 
  • Radical lymph node dissection 

This complex operation required a high level of surgical expertise due to the tumor’s advanced stage and its presence in a sensitive anatomical region. 

Postoperative Recovery 

By the grace of God, the surgery was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in good health. 
He will continue to be monitored through follow-up visits in both the Surgery Clinic and the Oncology Clinic to ensure the completion of his treatment plan according to the highest medical standards.
