Saving the Life of a Patient at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh
The medical staff of the General Surgery Department at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh saved the life of a patient suffering from a hernia in the diaphragm, stomach torsion, intestinal blockage, and low oxygen levels in the blood, thanks to Allah's favour and guidance.
The patient came to the hospital's emergency department with the terrible abdomen and chest pains. The emergency medical team immediately checked the patient and took the requisite X-rays.
The General Surgery Department's medical team was summoned, lead by Saudi consultant Dr. Ali Al-Mutairi and general surgery expert Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hindawi. The patient was admitted to the hospital, and an exploratory laparoscopy revealed the presence of a hernia in the diaphragm harboring the strangulated section of the colon and gangrene. The patient was quickly operated on, the dead segment of the intestine was removed, the intestines were rejoined, and the diaphragm hernia healed.
The patient remained in the hospital for close observation until his condition stabilized, at which point he was discharged to resume his usual life.
It is worth noting that this type of operation is reliant on modern medical technology, which is consistent with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting highly qualified and specialized medical personnel and utilizing the most advanced medical equipment and technology available in this field.
