The Suffering of a 6-year-old Child has Ended Using the (Mini Pcnl) Nephroscopy Technique at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam
The Urology Center at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam visited a 6-year-old boy after he was transmitted from a hospital in the Eastern Province due to long suffering from multiple keratoliths in the left kidney that caused him constant pain on the left side, enlarged kidneys, and continuous infections.
The merits of the case were studied and discussed between the consultant urologist, Dr. Adel Farhat, who led the medical team supervising the operation along with consultant pediatric surgeon Dr. Muhammad Jalouli and the consultant anesthesia Dr. Wael Jamal, and a decision was made to perform the Mini Pcnl operation (Pediatric Nephroscopy).
All left kidney stones were extracted with the flexible renal endoscope technique for children, the use of laser for lithotripsy and the installation of an internal stent on the left side, through a hole in the lower back area with only one stitch.
Gladly, the patient recovered completely and was discharged from the hospital after 48 hours.
It is worth noting that the urology department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam has obtained the American accreditation as an excellent center in the surgical performance of the urinary tract, also from the International Committee for the Accreditation of Excellence in American Performance. The hospital also provides all necessary examinations to determine the type of stones, the causes that form them and how to avoid their occurrence.
