Sabya General Hospital removes 6kg uterine fibroid in high-risk surgery

A specialized medical team from the obstetrics and gynecology department at Sabya General Hospital, part of the Jazan Health Cluster, has performed a high-risk surgery to remove a massive uterine fibroid weighing approximately 6 kilograms from a woman in her forties. The patient had been suffering from severe bleeding and acute anemia, which required meticulous planning and comprehensive medical preparation before the operation.

The patient visited the obstetrics and gynecology department due to symptoms that had significantly affected her daily life. Clinical and radiological examinations revealed an advanced uterine fibroid, nearly the size of a uterus at 38 weeks of pregnancy, accompanied by recurrent bleeding that led to severe anemia.

After assessing the case and evaluating the risks, the medical team developed a surgical plan to remove both the fibroid and the uterus, taking all necessary medical precautions to address the patient's health condition and minimize the risks associated with the procedure.

The operation lasted about two hours and was successful. Both the fibroid and the uterus, weighing a total of 6 kilograms, were removed. The patient was monitored post-surgery and completed her recovery phase until her condition stabilized. She was discharged from the hospital in good health and will continue to receive follow-up care as per the treatment plan.

This intervention highlights the ability of Sabya General Hospital's medical staff to manage complex and high-risk surgical cases, delivering specialized care in line with quality and safety standards through coordinated efforts among medical, anesthesia, and nursing teams.
