Rare Success at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital in Jeddah: Nerve Tumor Removal without Complications
Medical Team Led by Dr. Wajdi Naseer Successfully Removes Nerve Tumor from 44-Year-Old Patient
A medical team led by Dr. Wajdi Naseer, along with Dr. Ahmed Talba and Dr. Mohamed Youssef, at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital in Jeddah has successfully performed a rare surgery to remove a nerve tumor from a 44-year-old female patient. This marks the first surgery of its kind at Dr. Fakeeh Hospital and showcases the team's high level of expertise in handling complex cases.
The patient had been suffering from pain and weakness in her lower right extremity for an extended period. Following examinations and imaging, a 4 cm tumor was discovered within the peroneal nerve, a peripheral nerve responsible for foot movement.
The complexity of the surgery lay in the potential risk of foot dysfunction or paralysis if any damage occurred to the peroneal nerve during the procedure.
Dr. Naseer's team successfully excised the tumor without any complications. This was achieved through collaboration with a specialized neurophysiology team to devise a precise plan to avoid harming the motor nerve.
The patient was discharged from the hospital just one day after the surgery in full health and vitality, regaining normal movement in her foot.
This surgery highlights Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital's success in managing complex medical cases and reinforces the team's high level of skill and dedication to providing the best possible care for patients.
Precise Planning and Teamwork Lead to Successful Surgery
Through meticulous planning and teamwork with the neurology team, Dr. Wajdi and his colleagues - Dr. Ahmed Talba and Dr. Mohamed Youssef - were able to remove the tumor without compromising the nerve.
"This surgery demonstrates the remarkable expertise our medical team possesses in handling intricate and high-risk cases," stated Dr. Wajdi Naseer. "We are committed to providing the best possible care for our patients, and this success is a proud moment for our hospital."
The patient's family expressed their gratitude, saying, "We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Naseer and the entire team at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital. We were apprehensive about the risks, but the team's confidence and care made all the difference."
Dr. Fatih Mehmet Gul, CEO of Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital in Jeddah, added, "We are proud of our team's dedication and the high level of care they provide. This successful surgery is a testament to our hospital's capabilities and our ongoing efforts to elevate healthcare."
