In line with its vision to offer world-class healthcare services, the University Hospital Sharjah performed a successful neurosurgery for a rare type of bone tumor in the skull known as ‘Osteoid Osteoma.’ The procedures were carried out by experts from neurosurgery, as well as plastic surgery. The 61-year-old patient had presented with a two-centimeter-long painful swelling on her forehead. As the diagnostic procedures progressed, it was discovered that the lesion was both internal and external. The patient was advised to undergo immediate excision, and experts were notified, with the surgery being led and performed by Dr. Rajesh Kumar Jesrani, Specialist Neurosurgeon who comes with 13 years of clinical experience in the field of Neurosurgery, is also a member of World Spinal Column Society. The team was successful in approaching the lesion beneath the hairline and performing a complete tumor excision Due to its position on the forehead, the lesion required additional cosmetic care after the successful surgery. Consequently, Dr. Noh, a certified plastic surgeon, was brought in to perform the cosmetic treatments on the lesion.  Dr. Ali Obaid Al Ali, UHS Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Trustees, stated: The University Hospital Sharjah decided to develop its own sub-specialized surgery plans, as we are equipped with pioneering professional consultants and advanced operation theaters.
