Complex Spine Surgery Performed in Dubai

A specialized medical team at 'Tadaoui' Hospital in Dubai performed a precise and complex surgery to remove spinal tumors from a young patient in his early forties. The man was suffering from severe weakness in hand movement and acute neck pain. Clinical examinations and X-rays revealed the presence of tumors in several areas of the body, with the most dangerous one, located in the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebrae, exerting direct pressure on the spinal cord. This threatened the patient with a complete loss of mobility. Dr. Mahmoud Abu Sid, a consultant in orthopedic and spine surgery, explained that the patient's condition was complex due to the anatomical difficulty of accessing the first thoracic vertebra from the front of the neck.
