Successful Completion of a Rare Sleeve Gastrectomy for a 225 kg Patient

Saudi Hospital has announced the successful completion of a rare and complex sleeve gastrectomy for a patient weighing 225 kilograms who was also suffering from a slipped disc. The procedure was performed by Dr Mohammad Al-Rashdan, Consultant General Surgeon and Laparoscopic Surgery Specialist. The case was carefully evaluated due to its high complexity and significant risks. The medical team faced several challenges, including the patient’s elevated weight, anaesthesia-related considerations, and positioning inside the operating room. These factors required exceptional precision, advanced preparation, and coordinated teamwork. Despite the complexity, the operation was carried out efficiently and in full adherence to the highest safety and quality standards. The multidisciplinary approach helped minimise risks and achieve excellent patient outcomes. This achievement reflects Al-Saudi Hospital Clinics’ commitment to providing advanced surgical care supported by expertise, modern technologies, and patient-centred practices.
