The medical teams in the Jordanian Field Hospital South Gaza/8 had conducted, on Sunday, a special surgical operation on a 21-year-old patient suffering from spleen enlargement due to anemia (thalassemia).
The commander of the hospital force, in a press statement on Monday, said that "the medical and nursing staff were able to perform the operation with high efficiency, as part of the continuous efforts made by the hospital to provide advanced medical services to the brothers in the Gaza Strip, despite the challenges and difficult conditions", explaining that the operation was carried out by a specialized medical team with the participation of anesthesia and surgical staff.
The general surgery specialist explained that the case required urgent surgical intervention due to the patient's reliance on blood transfusions weekly, which led to iron accumulation in the body and affecting the heart muscle, where the spleen was completely removed after completing the necessary medical procedures, and the operation was a success.
