Madinat Zayed Hospital Surgeons Successfully Perform Complex Laparoscopic Surgery

The 36-year-old patient presented at MZH with abdominal discomfort and was diagnosed with a 10 cm cystic mass on their right adrenal gland.

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 9 September 2024 – The surgical team at Madinat Zayed Hospital (MZH), part of the SEHA and a subsidiary of PureHealth, the largest healthcare platform in the Middle East, has successfully carried out a complex laparoscopic right adrenalectomy on a 36-year-old patient suffering from a large adrenal cyst. This operation highlights the advanced surgical proficiency and world-class healthcare services available across SEHA's extensive network, including the Al Dhafra region.

The patient, who reported to MZH with abdominal discomfort, was diagnosed with a 10 cm cystic mass on the right adrenal gland. An exhaustive preoperative evaluation, which included a CT scan, was conducted by the hospital's endocrinologists to assess the cyst's potential hormonal activity.

Led by Dr Fadi Bassam Almahameed, Consultant Surgeon and Chair of Surgery at MZH, the intricate surgery was meticulously planned and performed with utmost precision, showcasing the hospital's capabilities in handling sophisticated surgical procedures. The patient's health was vigilantly monitored at every stage, and she was discharged in full health only 24 hours after the surgery.
