Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital in Al Khobar performed a successful robotic surgery using HUGO RAS technology to rescue a patient in her sixties who had a cancerous tumor in the uterine lining, causing severe postmenopausal bleeding and lower abdominal pain for several years. This was reported by Dr. Sarah Al-Rubaish, consultant gynecologic oncology surgeon and head of the medical team.

Dr. Sarah stated that upon the patient's arrival at the hospital, her complaints were heard and her medical file reviewed. It was found that she had sought treatment at several hospitals, where she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. She had previously undergone four cesarean sections and a gallbladder removal surgery. Doctors at those hospitals had decided to perform a traditional open surgery to remove the tumor, which the patient refused. Therefore, she turned to Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital, equipped with the latest technologies and run by highly qualified medical professionals, to help end her suffering.

The head of the medical team explained that the patient underwent a series of medical examinations including MRI, ultrasound, and laboratory tests. The results confirmed the presence of endometrial cancer, and accordingly it was decided to intervene using the HUGO RAS surgical robot. This robot provides a three-dimensional (3D) view and gives the surgeon high precision in distinguishing tissues, which is extremely important when performing endometrial and highly sensitive area surgeries. She stated that the surgery took two hours, during which four small incisions of no more than 1 cm were made in the abdomen. After reaching the tumor site, severe adhesions were found between the uterine muscle and the anterior abdominal wall with the bladder. These adhesions were released, and then the uterus, ovaries, and lymph nodes were removed without affecting the bladder, rectum, or the rest of the digestive system. The patient was then transferred to the inpatient ward for monitoring. In conclusion, Dr. Sarah Al-Rubaish said that the medical team's efforts were crowned with complete success, thank God, as the patient was discharged from the hospital after two days of hospitalization in good health. She also returned to the clinic after 3 weeks and all symptoms of pain and bleeding had completely disappeared.
