Al-Diriyah Hospital successfully removes a large uterine tumor from a resident
Al-Diriyah Hospital recorded a new medical achievement that adds to the record of successes of the health sector in the Kingdom, as a specialized medical team in obstetrics and gynecology was able to end the suffering of a resident patient, through performing a delicate and complex surgical operation to remove a huge uterine fibroid tumor.
Details of microsurgery
In detail, the hospital received the patient, who was suffering from health complications due to a large tumor. After conducting the necessary clinical and radiological examinations, the medical team decided on urgent surgical intervention via open abdominal surgery. The operation was completely successful, with the removal of a tumor weighing approximately 2.5 kilograms and measuring 25 centimeters .
The surgical procedure took approximately 3 continuous hours and was performed under the supervision and participation of a select group of medical professionals, led by Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist Dr. Haifa Al-Jubair and Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist Dr. Sahar Al-Suwailem, with the support of an integrated nursing and technical team that worked according to the highest standards of safety and quality to ensure the patient's safety.
Medical context and importance of achievement
This procedure is significant due to the size of the removed tumor and the precision of the surgical location. Fibroids of this size require a high level of surgical skill to avoid bleeding or damage to adjacent organs. This success demonstrates the high level of preparedness of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and operating rooms at Al-Diriyah Hospital, and its ability to handle critical and complex cases without the need for referral to other specialized hospitals.
The medical team confirmed that the surgery was performed without any significant complications, while maintaining the patient's vital signs in full stability throughout the surgical procedure, reflecting the accuracy of the pre-operative planning and the quality of care provided.
Keeping pace with the health transformation and Vision 2030
This achievement comes in the context of the great development witnessed by the health sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in line with the objectives of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the Health Transformation Program, which aims to facilitate access to health services and raise operational efficiency.
The success of Diriyah Hospital in performing such specialized interventions reflects the commitment of the Third Riyadh Health Cluster to developing medical personnel and equipping facilities with the latest technologies, to provide integrated and comprehensive healthcare to citizens and residents alike, thus enhancing the Kingdom’s position as a leading destination in the field of advanced medical care.
The condition stabilized and the patient was discharged
At the conclusion of the treatment plan, the medical team explained that the patient is currently in good health and has left the hospital after being fully reassured about her health condition, with a schedule for periodic follow-up in outpatient clinics to ensure continued improvement and obtain the best possible treatment results.
