The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Qatif succeeded in removing a large cholesteatoma from the middle ear and the mastoid prominence while fully preserving the patient's hearing. The patient was in his fifties.
Upon the patient's arrival at the hospital, the medical team, under the supervision of Dr. Majed Hussein, the consultant and head of the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Department, began monitoring the case. The examinations revealed that the patient was suffering from a chronic condition, which involved an abscessed cholesteatoma closely located to delicate structures in the middle ear, causing further inflammations and hearing impairment. Necessary examinations were performed in both the radiology and audiology departments.
After assessing the case, a decision was made to perform a precise surgical operation using a surgical microscope under general anaesthesia. The goal was to completely and definitively remove the cholesteatoma while ensuring the preservation of delicate auditory structures, leaving them in their natural position and not removing any part of them. Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and the patient was discharged the following day with his ear restored to its natural function and full hearing capacity.
It is worth noting that this type of surgery relies on modern medical techniques and highly trained medical professionals, in line with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting highly skilled medical professionals and precise medical specialities. This is achieved through the use of the latest advanced medical technologies and equipment in this field.
In an urgent response to a critical emergency, the medical team at the Emergency Department of Al Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah received a patient in his fifties who had been transferred urgently from another hospital to save his life after being diagnosed with massive clots in the pulmonary arteries, which caused a complete blockage. This led to respiratory failure, a severe drop in oxygen levels, and loss of consciousness.
According to the protocols followed at Al Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, immediate coordination took place among the medical teams, and the patient was swiftly transferred to the Interventional Catheterization Unit, where a delicate procedure was performed to remove the life-threatening pulmonary clots via catheterization. The procedure was led by Dr. Rayan Halawani – Consultant of Interventional Radiology, in collaboration with the anesthesia team, and was completed in less than an hour.
Thanks to Allah and the expertise of the medical team, the patient’s vital signs improved immediately after the procedure. He was then transferred to the Cardiac Care Unit to continue his treatment under the supervision of a Consultant of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, until he fully recovered and was discharged in good health to resume his normal life.
This case is yet another clear example of the medical excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration at Al Mouwasat Hospital, reaffirming the hospital’s readiness to manage critical and life-saving cases with the highest standards of quality and speed—making a real difference in patients’ lives.
Al Khobar – The medical team at Al Mouwasat Hospital in Al Khobar successfully performed a delicate robotic surgery to correct a rare congenital deformity in the renal pelvis for a patient who was suffering from severe pain due to a significant narrowing at the upper part of the right ureter.
The medical team explained that the patient had a congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of an additional renal artery compressing the upper section of the right ureter from the outside, causing severe obstruction that prevented normal urine flow and led to dilation and swelling of the renal pelvis. This condition resulted in recurrent severe pain and renal colic.
After conducting the necessary medical examinations, the surgical team decided to intervene using robotic-assisted technology. The procedure involved removing the narrowing at the upper ureter, repositioning the additional renal artery, and creating a new connection between the ureter and the renal pelvis—all performed with advanced robotic surgical precision.
The operation lasted approximately an hour and a half and, by the grace of God, was completed successfully without any complications, with minimal bleeding during the procedure. The patient was discharged from the hospital in good health and a stable condition.
This achievement highlights the high level of expertise of the medical team at Al Mouwasat Hospital and the advanced capabilities of robotic surgery in providing precise and safe solutions for complex medical cases.
