The Pediatric Department at Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam has received a newly diagnosed diabetic baby girl who was transferred from a private hospital in the Eastern Province due to the difficulty of controlling sugar levels and the frequent occurrence of severe hypoglycemia on low doses that do not exceed a unit of insulin.

The case was followed up under the supervision of Dr. Salman Wanas, a consultant pediatric endocrinologist and a dietician, Sakina, where the baby’s weight did not exceed 10 kg, as the time and quantity of food given to the baby was irregular, and it was impossible to treat and follow up the case outside the hospital and give her insulin doses (pens). The latest technology has been used in this field.

The infant's insulin pump was installed with a sensor with a dynamic stop feature before and during the cessation of diabetes with precise programming of the base pump levels, carbohydrate index, and insulin sensitivity index. The mother of the infant underwent extensive training on the pump to know the carbohydrate rate and functional insulin therapy.

By God’s grace, the condition and blood sugar levels were brought under control, while effectively protecting the baby from hypoglycemia and the direct impact this has on her neurological development.

The child's condition stabilized after being discharged from the hospital, where the cumulative sugar levels were in the range of 6.8%, and the girl's mother regained the ability to sleep peacefully.

Mouwasat Medical Services Company is keen to attract qualified medical professionals and specialties, while providing the latest technologies and medical equipment, to provide the best health care for patients.

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

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.
