The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully ended the suffering of a 38-year-old man who was transferred from another hospital in the Eastern Province. The patient was suffering from severe necrotizing pancreatitis caused by gallstones. After examination and the necessary tests, it was found that there was a large cyst on the pancreas causing pressure on the stomach and severe inflammation.
Upon review by a multidisciplinary team, the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar decided to place a metal stent between the stomach and the pancreatic cyst to drain the inflammation. This procedure was performed using an advanced technique called the Hot Axios Stent. This cutting-edge method allows for the stent to be placed with greater precision and safety, avoiding the need for extensive and prolonged surgeries.
The patient recovered well, and the cyst shrank, which is expected to facilitate the near-term recovery of the pancreas.
It is noteworthy that this type of procedure relies on advanced medical technology and highly trained medical staff, which aligns with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting top talent in specialized fields and utilizing the latest advanced medical techniques and equipment.

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.
