Successful Repair of Abdominal Wall Hernia in a 69-Year-Old At Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully relieved the suffering of a 69-year-old woman who was experiencing severe abdominal pain.
Upon her arrival at the hospital, necessary laboratory tests, clinical examinations, and radiological scans were conducted, revealing a 10 cm anterior abdominal wall hernia around the navel, with intestines protruding into the hernia sac. This caused severe pain and general fatigue, complicated by a history of weak heart muscles and previous surgeries, which led to significant abdominal muscle weakness. The patient required abdominal muscle repair first, followed by hernia repair to ensure proper healing.
Immediately, Dr. Hassan Al-Qamber, a consultant in general surgery, thoracic surgery, and laparoscopic surgery, decided on the necessity of performing abdominal muscle repair and reconstruction, followed by closing the hernia with a supportive mesh implant (abdominal component separation), a procedure known as abdominal wall component separation and reconstruction to its natural state with mesh implantation.
During the surgery, the hernia and abdominal wall were repaired, ensuring no impact on the intestines. After confirming her well-being during hospitalization and her complete recovery, the patient was discharged and reunited with her family.
It is worth mentioning that abdominal wall reconstruction and hernia repair are specialized procedures performed in limited hospitals and require high skill levels. This type of case relies on advanced medical technology, aligning with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision to attract highly specialized talents and use the latest advanced medical technologies and equipment in this field.
