Milestone Surgery at Saudi German Hospital

Dammam

By Middle East News 247 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.

The patient has since returned home and continues to receive follow-up care at Saudi

German Hospital Dammam.
