Successful Surgical Correction of Severe Scoliosis in a Child at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam
In a major medical breakthrough, doctors at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully performed a complex surgery to correct a severe spinal deformity (scoliosis) in a 13-year-old boy. The young patient had been suffering from a prominent spinal curve in the chest and lower back area, which caused noticeable difficulty in breathing and affected his ability to live a normal, active life.
The surgery was led by Dr. Fadi Farouk, a consultant in pediatric spine surgery and a German board-certified specialist. Using advanced surgical techniques, including multi-angle screws and highly precise spinal fixation tools, the team was able to straighten the boy’s spine in a safe and effective manner.
Thanks to the precision of the procedure and the care provided, post-surgery X-rays showed a dramatic improvement in the alignment of the spine. This result is expected to significantly improve the boy’s breathing and overall lung function. He is currently recovering in the pediatric ward, in stable condition, and receiving close follow-up care from the hospital’s medical and nursing teams.
This achievement highlights Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to providing cutting-edge medical solutions for complex conditions like spinal deformities—especially in children—within a safe and supportive environment that promotes faster recovery and a better quality of life.
It also reflects Mouwasat’s broader commitment to medical excellence by continuously investing in the latest technologies and attracting highly trained specialists in advanced fields of medicine, in line with the company’s vision of world-class healthcare.
