The success of the laparoscopic stapling of an enlarged prostate in Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh
We owe it to Allah for this success, the medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh was able to end the suffering of a 58-years old patient who was suffering from
disorders and difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate.
When examining the patient at the hospital's urology clinic, x-rays and the neces- sary tests were performed, indicating a benign enlargement of the prostate.
Due to the condition of this case and the lack of response to previous treatments, the medical team, under the supervision of Dr. Haitham Abdullah, consultant and head of the urology department at Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh, decided that the prostate was stapled using the Urolift technique through the endoscope, for the first
time in private hospitals in Riyadh.
Praise be to Allah, the operation was successfully completed, and the patient regained his normal condition and his ability to urinate regularly and without any
health problems.
The prostate stapling technique is one of the latest, most effective, and safe tech- niques in treating prostate enlargement in males, without catheterization or any complications or bleeding, and it preserves the sexual ability of the man, and its results appear immediately after the completion of the operation, and in most cases,
the patient leaves the hospital on the same day.
It is worth mentioning that this type of operation depends on modern medical tech- nology, which is in line with the vision of Mouwasat Medical Services Company to attract talents and delicate sub-specialties through the use of the latest technologies
and advanced medical equipment in this field.
