Khaberni - A specialized medical team from the Pediatric Surgery Department at Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children, led by Colonel Dr. Waseem Al-Mufleh, performed two surgical operations on two girls suffering from hydatid cysts on their lungs, using surgical endoscopy without the need for traditional open surgery, through small incisions in the chest. This operation is considered the first of its kind at the level of the Royal Medical Services.
Colonel Dr. Waseem Al-Mufleh, a consultant in pediatric surgery, said that the use of surgical endoscopy in such cases among children is a qualitative and distinctive development at the level of the pediatric surgery department, as it achieves better therapeutic results and contributes to reducing the recovery period, moving away from traditional surgery and its possible complications, indicating that the Pediatric Surgery Department continually strives to develop the use of endoscopic techniques in various cases to keep up with medical developments in pediatric surgery and pediatric urology regionally and globally.
Colonel Dr. Mohammad Al-Dajah, head of pediatric surgery specialization, pointed out that this achievement is in line with the consecutive achievements accomplished by the Pediatric Surgery Department, thanks to working with a unified team spirit and continuous support from the management of Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children and the Royal Medical Services Directorate.
Brigadier Dr. Wael Khriesat, director of Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children, explained that the Pediatric Surgery Department is one of the distinguished departments in the hospital and continuously seeks to provide high-quality surgical service and keep up with the latest medical developments. The department is known for continuously holding educational surgical workshops, supported continuously by the Royal Medical Services Directorate, an esteemed institution distinguished by its staff, services, modern technologies, and aiming to provide the best medical care for our children.
The parents of the two girls expressed their profound gratitude and appreciation to the medical and nursing staff at Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children for the great efforts they expended in treating their daughters, praising the advanced level of medical care and attention they received, and the high efficiency and dedication in providing the best medical services.
