Successful Mini Gastric Bypass and Gallbladder Removal at Al-Mouwasat Hospital
In a groundbreaking operation for the private sector in Saudi Arabia, Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully performed a mini gastric bypass and inflamed gallbladder removal on a patient suffering from severe obesity, who had previously undergone a sleeve gastrectomy and developed gallbladder inflammation.
Upon the patient's arrival at the hospital, Dr. Sami Al-Asari, a consultant in bariatric, colon, and rectal surgery, performed the mini gastric bypass using a single anastomosis and removed the gallbladder using robotic surgery through four small incisions. This procedure significantly reduced the patient's pain and bleeding, and the precise stitching and stapling were achieved using an advanced smart stapler at the anastomosis site.
It is noteworthy that Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar is a pioneer in advanced surgeries using robotic technology, whether in bariatric, colon, or general surgeries. These innovative techniques contribute to improved surgical outcomes and provide more accurate and effective healthcare.
