Successful thyroid gland removal sets new standard in advanced medical care
Press Release
February 27, 2024
Surgeons at Saudi German Hospital Dammam successfully removed the thyroid gland of
a 28-year-old woman, which had extended into her neck and upper chest. This intricate
procedure, conducted with precision and care, marks a significant milestone in the
hospital’s commitment to providing advanced medical care to the community.
This tumor obstructed her blood flow causing breathing and swallowing difficulties, as well
as a weakened voice. Using a minimally invasive approach through a neck incision, the
surgeons avoided cutting though the rib cage.
