A very rare Lumpectomy success at Al Mouwasat Hospital, Madinah

We owe this big success to Allah, as the General Surgery Department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah has achieved a new medical achievement represented in the removal of a very rare tumor in the appendix and the base of the cecum of a patient in his sixties who was suffering from pain in the lower abdomen, with bouts of diarrhea accompanied by mucous secretions, digestive disorders, and a feeling of fullness.

Upon the arrival of the patient to the hospital, the case was examined in the general surgery clinic, and after a set of laboratory tests and advanced rays such as a high-quality multi-section CT scan, it was found that there was a tumor in the appendix and the base of the caecum with dimensions estimated at (70 x 30 x 30). This tumor is a rare tumor, with an incidence of only 3-4 per thousand.

After diagnosing the case, the consultant general surgery at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, Dr. Ahmed Fathy Al-Husseini, decided performing an excision of the tumor. The great challenge which faced the medical team was to remove the tumor with an appropriate safety space while preserving the mass without spreading the gel into the peritoneal cavity, which may lead to severe complications and the spread of the tumor.

After obtaining the consent of the patient, he was prepared for the operation, and the entire surgical team was prepared. The Department of Anesthesiology and Nursing was qualified and trained in surgical operations. With the help of high-quality camera and the latest types of surgical staplers, the operation was completed successfully in approximately two hours.

After performing a tissue analysis following the operation, it was confirmed that the entire tumor was removed with enough safety space, and thanks to God, the patient's repeated suffering was ended.

It is worth noting that this type of operation is considered the most advanced and reliant on modern medical technology, which goes in line with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and subspecialties and providing the latest medical technologies and equipment in this field.
