Saudi German Hospital-Jeddah achieved a significant milestone by successfully removing a large renal
neoplasm from a 64-year-old woman. The mass, measuring 35 x 32 x 30 cm and weighing
approximately 4.7 kg, was pressing against vital blood vessels, displacing the aorta and inferior vena

cava laterally.

The procedure was highly complex and risky, but the urology Team, led by Prof. Dr. Khaled Abuelazaym,
Dr. Mohamed Fawzy, Dr. Mohamed Salama, and Dr. Ahmed Isa, executed it with great skill. Additionally,
Dr. Amr and his anaesthesia team, along with the nursing staff, played crucial roles in providing

exceptional care, treating the patient as family.
