المملكة: Removal of a tumor the size of a fetus from a woman in her thirties in King Abdullah City

A specialized medical team at King Abdullah Medical City, a member of the Makkah Al-Mukarramah Health Cluster, succeeded in performing a delicate surgery to remove a tumor the size of a fetus (30 x 15 cm) from a Saudi woman in her thirties.

The group explained that the patient was suffering from great stress as a result of the tumor, which affected the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava, causing partial obstruction of the digestive system and chronic constipation, in addition to pressure on the urinary bladder and nerves, which led to pain and numbness in the lower extremities.

Laboratory tests

The statement added that the operation was carried out after conducting laboratory tests and careful imaging, in addition to a comprehensive evaluation by the anesthesia department to ensure medical safety standards. The tumor was completely removed through open laparotomy while preserving the uterus and ovaries.
The operation took three hours and was a great success, as the patient fully recovered.

The health group indicated that the patient spent three days under intensive medical observation, before leaving the hospital on the fourth day in good health.

The gathering concluded by praising the medical competencies and great efforts that contributed to this achievement, stressing his commitment to providing the highest levels of medical care in accordance with international standards.
