Our medical team succeeds in ending a patient's suffering

Our medical team in University Hospital Sharjah were able to remove a huge uterine degenerated fibroid successfully from a patient womb who suffered for years. A woman was presented with a huge abdominal swelling causing difficulty in movement and continuous pain and mal digestion. The patient thought it's due to mal digestion. She came to University Hospital Sharjah after seeking medical advice from several hospitals in the UAE and was diagnosed after a series of radiological studies to have a huge uterine tumor of unknown nature with complex adnexal mass. Some of The tumor markers were High as well. The other hospitals were reluctant to perform the surgery as it was a high risk with a high chance of being malignant with possible removal of the uterus and ovaries. At UHS, further evaluation of the case were done in our Gynecology and Radiology department, the diagnosis of a huge uterine mass with more likely benign nature based on the clinical evaluation and radiologic study. The patient was counseled for the need of a complex surgical exploration to remove the uterine mass. As a precautionary measure even with the unlikely malignant nature of the tumor, a frozen section at the time of the surgery will be performed to confirm the true nature of the tumor. A complex exploratory laparotomy was done by professor Mohamed Zayed, Consultant Gynecologist and his team, they were able to remove a huge (more than 6 kg) uterine degenerated fibroid successfully from her womb. Fortunately it's proved to be benign by frozen section with complete preservation of her uterus and ovaries as for her fertility. By god's will, the patient has recovered completely from the surgery.
