Saving a patient from complete paralysis at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam succeeded in saving a patient from complete paralysis who was suffering from severe back pain and could not move without a wheelchair.
Immediately upon the patient’s arrival at the hospital, Dr. Fadi Farouk consultant spine surgeon, performed an MRI and CT scan of the lumbar vertebrae, which showed that the patient was suffering from severe inflammation of the vertebrae with a fracture of the spine. He then decided on minimally invasive surgery to reattach the spine and clean up the infection.
The patient was able to recover completely and was able to return to his normal life, after he was unable to walk without a wheelchair.
It is worth noting that this type of operation depends on modern medical technology, which is in line with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting competencies and precise sub-specialties by using the latest technologies and advanced medical equipment in this field.
