Hail

22/03/2024

21 March 2024- Surgeons at Saudi German Hospital Hail recently achieved a remarkable feat, providing a

20-year-old girl a second chance to walk following complex spinal tumour surgery.
Tests revealed a primary malignant tumour in her thoracic vertebra causing a fracture and limiting her

mobility.
The surgical team opted for a patient-centric approach, conducting a successful surgery that spared her

from chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Utilising advanced equipment, surgeons delicately removed the affected vertebra and ribs through a

minimally invasive procedure. A stent was then installed for stabilization.
This achievement showcases the hospital’s commitment to exceptional care, driven by ‘Caring Like
Family’ ethos and world-class medical professionals.
