The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh has successfully treated a patient suffering from an enlarged thyroid nodule, also known as a benign thyroid tumor.

The patient was referred to the hospital from another facility in Riyadh due to difficulty in breathing and swallowing caused by the presence of a thyroid nodule. The case was immediately evaluated by Dr. Mohammed Sharahili, a consultant in interventional radiology, after which the necessary examinations were conducted. It was determined that the tumor was benign, and the best choice for the patient was thermal ablation therapy. The procedure was performed, and the patient left the hospital in excellent health after only two hours.

Dr. Mohammed Sharahili, a consultant in interventional radiology, explained that thermal ablation therapy is one of the latest treatment techniques in modern medicine. It is a non-surgical procedure and serves as a solution for many common problems, including thyroid nodules. Notably, this non-surgical procedure does not require general anesthesia or surgical incisions. Instead, it involves a small needle puncture, typically 1-2 millimeters in size.

Dr. Sharahili added that thermal ablation therapy is a relatively safe treatment because it relies on the precise guidance of a catheter or a small needle under high-resolution imaging to deliver thermal waves and frequencies to the tumor's location. This procedure reaches the tumor's blood supply, causing thermal ablation and elimination.

This type of treatment can be performed as a same-day procedure under local anesthesia, taking less than half an hour, depending on the individual case. Following the procedure, patients can leave the hospital after an hour or two without the need for a recovery period and can resume their normal activities.

It's worth noting that Al-Mouwasat Hospital is committed to providing modern medical technologies and highly trained medical staff. This aligns with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company to attract specialized expertise by using the latest advanced medical techniques and equipment in the field.

Life-Saving Intervention for a Patient with Severe Bleeding Caused by a Renal Tumor-Related Aneurysm 

The medical team successfully treated a patient suffering from severe internal bleeding resulting from an aneurysmal dilation of blood vessels associated with a tumor in the left kidney. 
The case required urgent intervention, which was performed under local anesthesia using advanced interventional radiology techniques. 

The procedure involved the precise embolization of the arteries feeding the aneurysmal lesion, which resulted in:

  • Complete cessation of bleeding 
  • Stabilization of the patient’s condition 
  • Safe discharge from the hospital after noticeable improvement 

Another Success: Treating a Complex Case of Acute Venous Thrombosis 

In a related achievement, the hospital recorded another successful intervention for a patient suffering from acute thrombosis in the pelvic and lower limb veins, a condition that poses serious risks if not managed promptly. 

Using the latest interventional radiology technologies, the medical team performed catheter-directed venous thrombectomy, which contributed to:

  • Significant improvement in blood flow 
  • Rapid stabilization of the patient’s clinical condition 
  • Prevention of further complications

Riyadh – Mouwasat Hospital 

Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh received a patient referred from another hospital in the city who was suffering from rectal bleeding and a suspected bowel obstruction caused by an advanced cancerous tumor located in the upper rectum. Following an urgent assessment, the patient was admitted for the necessary laboratory tests and imaging studies. 

Evaluation of the Rectal Tumor 

A coordinated evaluation was conducted between the General Surgery Department and the Oncology Department to determine the optimal treatment plan. After reviewing the diagnostic results, the medical team decided to proceed with a surgical intervention led by: Dr. Ahmed Abdel Fattah Habib – Consultant of General Surgery & Oncology, with the assistance of Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Hindawi – Specialist in General Surgery.

The patient was then prepared for a precise laparoscopic surgical procedure targeting the affected section of the colon and rectum. 

Laparoscopic Resection of the Rectal Tumor 

The entire procedure was performed using advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and included:

  • Resection of the lower sigmoid colon and upper rectum 
  • Colon-to-rectum anastomosis (reconnection) 
  • Radical lymph node dissection 

This complex operation required a high level of surgical expertise due to the tumor’s advanced stage and its presence in a sensitive anatomical region. 

Postoperative Recovery 

By the grace of God, the surgery was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in good health. 
He will continue to be monitored through follow-up visits in both the Surgery Clinic and the Oncology Clinic to ensure the completion of his treatment plan according to the highest medical standards.
