Al Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Al Khobar continues to strengthen its position as a leading center in pediatric urology and advanced robotic surgery, following the successful treatment of a 4-year-old girl who was suffering from recurrent flank pain and severe renal discomfort caused by a congenital ureteral obstruction.
The young patient was referred to Mouwasat Hospital after undergoing a series of diagnostic studies, including:
The results revealed a significant narrowing of the ureter, the tube responsible for transferring urine from the kidney to the bladder. This obstruction led to hydronephrosis, reduced kidney function, and repeated pain episodes, increasing the risk of recurrent urinary infections.
Congenital ureteral obstruction is considered one of the more complex pediatric urological conditions, and if left untreated, it may gradually progress to kidney damage or even renal failure.
Thanks to the expertise of Dr. Abdulrahman bin Abdulkarim Al Muhrej, Consultant in Urologic Oncology, the robotic system allowed for high-precision suturing and delicate handling of the tissues, ensuring an optimal reconstruction outcome. The procedure was completed smoothly, and the child was able to leave the hospital the next day, resuming eating and walking with only minimal pain.
Robotic-assisted surgery has become the gold standard for managing complex ureteral conditions due to several advantages:
Dr. Al Muhrej has performed numerous robotic repairs for ureteral obstruction in both children and adults, achieving consistently excellent clinical outcomes.
Robotic systems are now widely utilized at Mouwasat Hospital for a variety of urological procedures across all age groups, including the following:
This reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s commitment to incorporating advanced surgical technology and providing patients with advanced, minimally invasive treatment options.
Dr. Al Muhrej stresses the importance of early evaluation when kidney dilation is detected, as determining the cause promptly is crucial to preserving kidney function. Not all cases require surgery, but timely consultation with a specialist helps guide appropriate management and prevent long-term complications.
Qatif - Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif continues to achieve outstanding medical successes in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases using advanced endoscopic technologies. This comes following the successful diagnosis and management of a complex case involving a 60-year-old patient who had been experiencing rectal bleeding for several months without receiving a clear diagnosis.
The patient had visited several hospitals within and outside the region over the course of months, yet no definitive explanation for his recurrent symptoms was identified. Upon arriving at Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif, he was evaluated by the Gastroenterology Clinic team led by Dr. Mahdi Al-Jaroudi, Gastroenterology & Endoscopy Consultant, who conducted a comprehensive assessment while taking into account his chronic respiratory condition and hypertension—factors that required careful medical decision-making.
Based on the initial evaluation, the medical team recommended performing a colonoscopy at the hospital’s Advanced Endoscopy Unit to determine the source of bleeding.
During the colonoscopy, the medical team discovered a large polyp measuring 4.5 cm inside the colon. Thanks to the expertise of the specialized team and the advanced capabilities of the endoscopy unit, the polyp was completely removed endoscopically without the need for surgical intervention and without any complications—demonstrating the high level of precision and skill in handling such cases.
Pathology results confirmed that the lesion was a cancerous colon tumor. The positive outcome was that the tumor had been fully removed, and all surrounding tissues were completely clear, indicating successful early control of the condition and eliminating the need for further invasive treatments.
This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif’s commitment to delivering advanced medical care using state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic technologies. The hospital continues to provide high-quality services led by a distinguished team of specialists dedicated to ensuring the best outcomes for patients.

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh continues to strengthen its leadership in vascular surgery and advanced endovascular interventions, following the successful treatment of a young patient whose aortic occlusion was Treated with the Minimally Invasive CERAB technique.
The patient had been suffering from severe leg pain that limited his ability to walk more than 20–30 meters for the past six months, despite receiving multiple treatments at various hospitals without improvement.
The case was managed by Dr. Nikolaos Patelis, Consultant Vascular Surgeon, who diagnosed the patient with severe aortic stenosis (aortic stenosis). The patient underwent a successful minimally invasive procedure using the CERAB technique, one of the latest global innovations in treating aorto-iliac occlusive disease.
The patient was discharged within one day, without the need for blood transfusion, and experienced 100% symptom relief, regaining his ability to walk normally.
Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of the Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) is recognized as a major advancement in the management of aorto-iliac occlusive disease, offering several benefits:
The procedure involves inserting femoral arterial sheaths, deploying specialized covered stent grafts to reconstruct the aortic bifurcation, and simultaneously inflating iliac stent grafts to ensure proper sealing and optimal blood flow. This method is particularly suitable for patients suffering from severe mobility-limiting symptoms caused by aorto-iliac arterial disease.
Dr. Nikolaos Patelis has an extensive record in vascular and endovascular surgery. He holds the Fellowship of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a master’s degree in endovascular techniques, in addition to being a member of the Hellenic Vascular Surgery Board, the European Society for Vascular Surgery, and the American College of Surgeons.
This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s commitment to delivering the latest global innovations in vascular and endovascular treatments, ensuring precise and safe medical care based on the highest international standards.
Mouwasat continues to invest in specialized expertise and advanced technologies, reinforcing its position as a leading medical destination in the Kingdom and the region and providing innovative therapeutic solutions that enhance patient outcomes and accelerate recovery.
Al-Khobar - Mouwasat Hospital
The medical team at Badana Center in Mouwasat Hospital Al-Khobar has successfully performed a distinguished and pioneering procedure—the first of its kind in the private healthcare sector in the Kingdom.
The surgery utilized ICG fluorescence imaging technology through the robotic surgery system to convert a previous sleeve gastrectomy into a mini gastric bypass.
The ICG technology significantly enhanced the surgeon’s visual accuracy during the procedure, enabling the medical team to precisely assess tissue integrity and reduce potential complications such as leakage, obstruction, or other surgery-related risks associated with complex bariatric procedures.
The medical team, led by Dr. Sultan Al Temyatt, emphasized that integrating robotic surgery with ICG technology represents a major leap in advanced bariatric surgery, offering higher levels of safety, precision, and efficiency, in addition to faster recovery and reduced postoperative risks.
