Khaberni - The Jordan University Hospital recently conducted an advanced therapeutic intervention in the radiology department, whereby a multidisciplinary medical team treated a bone tumor at a highly sensitive location inside the femoral head of a patient in his thirties. This location is one of the most difficult to reach surgically, making traditional options limited and complicating the handling of the case, especially since the patient was suffering from severe pain that significantly impacted his ability to move and perform his daily activities..
The intervention was performed under the supervision of the interventional radiology consultant for the musculoskeletal system Dr. Omar Batoush, and the consultant for orthopedic surgery and joint reconstruction surgery of hips and knees and bone tumors Dr. Bassem Haddad, along with the senior consultant of anesthesia, resuscitation, and intensive care Professor Dr. Khaled Al-Zaben, supported by a specialized technical and nursing team..
Al-Batoush explained that the medical team succeeded in accurately reaching the center of the tumor using computed tomography (CT Scan), followed by performing thermal ablation using microwave technology (Microwave Ablation), which is one of the latest global technologies in treating bone tumors without the need for open surgical intervention..
Al-Batoush added that the patient showed immediate and significant improvement from the day after the procedure, reflecting the accuracy and effectiveness of the technique in targeting the tumor and quickly alleviating pain, enabling the patient to regain better movement..
In this context, the general manager of the hospital, Professor Dr. Nader Al-Basool, affirmed that these specialized interventions reflect the advanced level of medical competencies at the hospital, and the ability to employ the latest therapeutic technologies to serve patients with the highest standards of safety and effectiveness, noting that the Jordan University Hospital continues to consolidate its position as a national leader in the fields of interventional radiology and bone tumor treatment, through continuous investment in modern medical technologies, and enhancing the environment for training, education, and scientific research, which contributes to improving the quality of healthcare across the kingdom..
