World-class surgeons at SGH Dammam

deliver relief from years of challenging

kidney stone pain

By Middle East News 247 June 19, 2024

Expert surgeons at Saudi German Hospital Dammam skilfully performed a delicate surgery,
ending years of pain caused by a large stone in a difficult location within a patient’s right

kidney.

First, the surgeons conducted a ureteropyelography (study of the ureter and kidney using a

radiopaque substance) to meticulously visualise the blockage.

Afterward, through a remarkably tiny incision (less than 1 cm), the surgeons performed a

miniaturised nephoscopy to access the stone. Their expertise allowed them to break down
the stone with laser precision. Following this, they placed a ureteral stent to facilitate
drainage.

The patient’s rapid recovery and discharge within 24 hours speak volumes about the
surgeons’ remarkable efficiency and expertise.
