Successful Laparoscopic Removal of a Large 15 cm Ovarian Cyst for a 15-Year-Old Girl
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif successfully removed a large ovarian cyst for a 15-year-old girl. The patient came to the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic suffering from abdominal pain and bloating.
Under the supervision of Dr. Walid Khalaf, Consultant Obstetrics and Gynecology at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Qatif, the case was carefully examined. An ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis was conducted, followed by an MRI to further clarify the condition. The diagnosis revealed a large 15 cm cyst on the right ovary, and tumor markers were tested to confirm the nature of the cyst.
The cyst was fully removed using laparoscopic surgery without the need for an open abdominal incision, despite the large size of the cyst. The ovary was preserved, and no blood transfusions were necessary. The patient was discharged after two days in good health, and a tissue analysis later confirmed that the cyst was benign.
This type of surgery uses advanced medical technology, in line with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision to attract specialized expertise and employ the latest medical equipment and techniques in this field.
