Madaba, Feb 2 (Petra) — A medical team of Al-Nadeem Government Hospital in Madaba on Sunday performed a unique laparoscopic surgery to cosmetically reconstruct the right renal pelvis.
“It is the first and most difficult surgery in the hospital using a surgical laparoscope through four small holes in the abdomen, instead of traditional surgery in the flank,” said Dr. Rashid Al-Khalayleh, the kidney and urinary tract surgery specialist who supervised the operation.
The surgery is characterized by skill in cutting and expanding the narrowed part, and then cosmetic suturing of the renal pelvis, he said, adding “what distinguishes it is that the patient recovers quickly for there’s no large wound in the abdomen.”
The hospital’s director Baha Halalmeh noted the health facility has recently been expanded allowing for performing surgeries, with 123 beds and 12 specialty clinics, in addition to heart, rheumatism and endocrine clinics and such devices supplied as osteoporosis, mammogram for cancer screening and EEG.
