Putting an End to 26 Years of Continuous Pain! Relieving an Elderly Woman's Suffering from Severe Gallstones and Inflammation at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam successfully put an end to the suffering of an elderly woman who had been enduring severe gallstones and inflammation in her gallbladder for 26 years.
Upon the patient's arrival at the hospital's outpatient clinics, the case was reviewed by Dr. Mohammed Qasim, a consultant in general surgery, who confirmed the presence of severe gallstones and inflammation in the gallbladder. Based on this assessment, he made the decision to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, avoiding the need for open surgery, despite the presence of severe and chronic adhesions between the gallbladder, colon, duodenum, and liver.
Thankfully, the challenges of this surgery were overcome using the latest American devices for cautery and surgical stapling, which helped prevent potential complications. The patient was discharged from the hospital in good health.
It is worth mentioning that this type of operation relies on modern medical technology and highly trained medical professionals who align with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting skilled expertise and specialized sub-disciplines by utilizing the latest advanced medical techniques and equipment in this field.
