The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully conducted a series of operations to completely remove cancerous kidneys under the supervision of Dr. Abdulrahman Abdulkarim Al-Muhrej, a Consultant in Urological Oncology, Robotic Surgery, Endoscopy, and Kidney Stones. The surgery was performed using a robotic system with precision through small incisions. At the end of the procedure, one of the incisions was enlarged to the size of the kidney for extraction. Patients can typically resume eating normally and be discharged from the hospital within a day or two, depending on their recovery and overall condition.


Robotic surgery enables complex operations to be performed with greater accuracy, faster recovery, and fewer complications, such as reduced bleeding and less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgical methods. This type of surgery requires specialized medical personnel.


Currently, most procedures that are traditionally performed through open surgery or endoscopy can be done using advanced robotic technology. Various urological procedures can be carried out with robotic assistance for patients of all ages, including complete or partial kidney removal, adrenal gland surgery, prostate, and bladder removal. Additionally, robotic surgery can be used for ureteral repair and ureteral reimplantation.


Dr. Abdulrahman advises that if there are general symptoms such as significant unexplained weight loss or severe pain, it is essential to visit a doctor to conduct tests for overall health assurance. In the case of discovering a kidney tumor, it is recommended to consult a specialist in urological oncology, endoscopy, and robotic surgery to determine the nature of the tumor and the appropriate treatment plan. Surgery is often the best treatment option, and when successful, it may not require additional therapies.


Kidney cancer is usually discovered incidentally during imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI) that are performed for other reasons. It is noteworthy that most kidney tumors do not present symptoms, and when symptoms related to the tumor appear, it may indicate an advanced stage of the disease.

Jubail – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail continues to strengthen its position as one of the leading medical institutions in the region by providing advanced healthcare services that rely on cutting-edge medical technologies. Among its recent achievements are life-saving interventions performed through catheter-based procedures and interventional radiology, eliminating the need for open surgical operations. 

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 

Integrated Interventional Radiology Services at Mouwasat Hospital in Jubail 

These accomplishments reflect the high level of integration between the hospital’s specialized departments, as well as the:

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. 

Mouwasat’s Commitment to Advanced Medical Care 

This operation is considered one of the most complex laparoscopic procedures that require specialized expertise and advanced surgical technologies. 
This success aligns with Mouwasat Hospital Riyadh’s commitment to providing:

  • State-of-the-art surgical techniques 
  • Highly qualified medical professionals 
  • Advanced healthcare services that ensure the highest standards of safety and quality for patients
