Saudi hospital performs robotic spinal, pelvic surgery
RIYADH: King Fahd University Hospital has successfully performed a complex robotic surgery to stabilize spinal and pelvic fractures in a patient injured in a motor vehicle accident. The hospital is part of Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University's Academic Medical City in Alkhobar. The hospital highlighted that the Saudi medical team used robotic surgery to reduce complications and speed up recovery, thereby improving healthcare quality, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday. The achievement underscores the hospital's commitment to advanced medical technologies and AI integration, enhancing safety, accuracy and innovation, the SPA added. In January, King Fahd University Hospital's Heart Center achieved significant breakthroughs in treating heart and lung conditions. The center pioneered balloon pulmonary angioplasty, a groundbreaking treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, marking a first for the Eastern Province. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted through a vein to reach narrowed or blocked pulmonary arteries. A small balloon is then inflated to widen the vessels and restore normal blood flow. This technique improves blood oxygen levels, reduces pulmonary artery pressure, enhances heart function and significantly elevates quality of life, according to the SPA.
