Thanks to God for this success, the medical team at Al-Mowasat Hospital in Qatif succeeded in removing a large tumor from a 9-year-old girl who was suffering from recurrent abdominal pain.

As soon as the girl came with her parents to the children's clinic in the hospital, it was found that she also suffers from a noticeable increase in weight and the inability to move actively like the rest of her peers, so it was decided to do some tests that proved the presence of a large cyst on the left ovary with dimensions up to 30 cm * 25 cm, which is a large tumor relatively.

The young girl was transferred to the clinic of a consultant gynecologist, where the presence of the tumor was confirmed, and the parents were informed that it may be an active tumor that secretes excess hormones in the body. 

After getting the parents' approval, the child was prepared for the operation, examined by the anesthesia consultant, and given preventive antibiotics before the operation.

Thanks to God, the tumor was removed and it was separated from the adjacent tissues without any damage because the doctor was keen to preserve the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

The girl stayed for 4 days in the hospital until she recovered completely, and immediately began to feel the energy and vitality that she missed with the presence of this tumor, which was affecting the body’s hormones, and her health was completely confirmed and she left the hospital to lead her life normally.

It is worth mentioning that 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.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital 

In a remarkable achievement that reflects the advanced surgical expertise and commitment to excellence at Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, a specialized medical team successfully performed a radical gastrectomy to remove an advanced stomach tumor in a 70-year-old female patient who had been suffering from severe fatigue, significant weight loss, and persistent vomiting—unable to consume even water or juice. 

Comprehensive Case Evaluation 

The patient was referred from another hospital for feeding tube placement. Upon arrival, her case was immediately reviewed by a multidisciplinary medical committee led by Dr. Ahmed Al-Husseini, Consultant of General Surgery and Oncology, with participation from specialists in gastroenterology, endoscopy, diagnostic radiology, and oncology

After conducting essential investigations, including multi-slice CT scans and endoscopic biopsy, the team decided on urgent surgical intervention to remove the tumor. 

Advanced Surgical Gastrectomy 

The complex surgery involved: 

  • Radical resection of approximately 85% of the stomach. 
  • Complete removal of surrounding lymph nodes and peritoneal membranes to ensure no cancer cells remained, confirmed later by histopathology. 
  • Creation of a gastrointestinal anastomosis to connect the remaining stomach to the intestines, restoring the patient’s ability to eat. 

Recovery after Gastrectomy 

Following five days of intensive care, the patient gradually regained strength and was able to eat orally for the first time in over a month—a milestone in her recovery journey. She was discharged in excellent health, marking a significant success for the surgical team.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital 

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

Case Details 

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. 

Accurate Diagnosis 

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. 

What is Tibial Nerve Schwannoma? 

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: 

  • Chronic leg pain 
  • Numbness or loss of sensation in the sole 
  • Weakness in foot and toe movement 

Microsurgical Tumor Removal 

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. 

Mouwasat Commitment to Excellence 

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.
