Successful Removal of Giant Cell Tumor at King Salman Medical City

A specialized medical team in bone and muscle tumor surgery at the main hospital of King Salman Medical City in Medina successfully ended the suffering of a beneficiary in her twenties who was suffering from a giant cell tumor that affected the metacarpal of her left hand, after implementing a precise treatment plan that helped preserve one of her fingers from amputation.

King Salman Medical City explained that such cases often require amputation of the affected finger along with part of the metacarpal, but the medical team developed an advanced treatment plan aimed at preserving the organ, maintaining its function, and reducing the resulting effects on the beneficiary.

The medical city stated that the medical team successfully removed the tumor entirely and replaced the excised bone with a bone graft, after reshaping it to fit the anatomical measurements of the affected metacarpal, then implanted it in the site of the removed bone. The operation was successful, praise be to God, and the beneficiary recovered and left the hospital in good health.

This success confirms the development of specialized surgical services at King Salman Medical City in Medina, by employing the latest medical technologies and qualified competencies, contributing to providing advanced health care and improving the quality of therapeutic services offered to beneficiaries.
