Patient Expecting a Leg Amputation Walks Out of Al-Mouwasat Hospital on His Own Two Feet
The patient arrived from another healthcare facility in the Eastern Province, suffering from severe foot tissue infection, arteriosclerosis, and an unstable newly diagnosed diabetes condition. Several hospitals had decided to amputate his right leg above the knee. However, under the supervision of Dr. Christian Georges, a vascular consultant, the team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital took on the case and initiated treatment in collaboration with the plastic surgery department.
A surgical debridement of the leg was performed, followed by intervention from the plastic surgery team led by Dr. Saed Al-Habeeb. The foot was saved using advanced techniques such as cleaning, artificial skin, tissue revitalizing injections, and skin grafting. The patient’s diabetes condition was stabilized with careful monitoring from the internal medicine team supervised by Dr. Amal Abu Saud.
The patient continues to visit Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar for follow-up care in the outpatient clinics.
It is worth mentioning that these types of treatments are advanced procedures requiring sophisticated technologies and highly precise human expertise. This approach aligns with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision to attract highly specialized talents and provide the latest medical technologies and advanced equipment.
