Chief physician, Dr. Riyad Rashid, from the holy city of Karbala, revealed the major and super-major operations performed at Imam al-Hujjah Hospital, thanks to the modern technologies provided by the hospital, as well as the professional and efficient medical staff.
Urology specialist Dr. Riyad Rashid said: “At Imam al-Hujjah Hospital, we perform all urological surgeries, which are divided into minor, medium, and major operations, especially the major ones.”
In the details, he confirmed that one of the most important operations performed in our hospital is “laparoscopic operations for urinary surgery, which include nephrectomy, a very difficult and distinct operation (…) We also perform operations to remove kidney tumors and preserve the healthy part of them.”
Endoscopic and cosmetic surgeries
Urology specialist Dr. Riyad Rashid said: “We also perform laparoscopy surgeries at Imam al-Hujjah Hospital, which are beautification of the renal pelvis for congenital obstruction at the top of the ureter, removal of stones from the kidneys, ureters and bladder, as well as removal of other tumors in the abdomen and operations to treat undescended testicles in children.”
Dr. Rashid said, “Laparoscopy operations are among the distinguished and modern operations that cannot be performed in all centers because they require high-quality hospital capabilities and an experienced anesthesia staff. They also need a well-trained nursing staff and trained specialist doctors who have a history in this training, and this is what we provide at Imam al-Hujjah Hospital.”
Distinctive operations
He pointed out that “other distinguished operations performed in the hospital are nephroscopy and stone removal through nephroscopy.”
He adds: “This type of operation is very important, because kidney stones require surgery and are one of the common diseases in the Middle East.”
Dr. Rashid added: “We can perform this operation at Imam al-Hujjah Charitable Hospital, thanks to the modern technologies available to us as well as the competent medical staff, as we perform about (5-6) operations of this type daily.”
Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP):
Urology specialist Dr. Riad Rasheed also pointed out the possibility of performing benign photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).
He adds: “It is one of the very modern operations carried out in some countries in the world, including Iraq. The device is currently available in our hospital, and this operation can be performed on patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia.”
He stressed that “this procedure includes vaporization of the prostate gland and is considered a rather complex surgery, although it is seen by the patient as very simple. It only takes ten minutes and the patient is discharged from the hospital on the same day. However, it is considered a distinctive and important procedure because it requires high efficiency from the nursing staff and the physician.”
He pointed out that “the results of this procedure are excellent, compensating for surgical or endoscopic operations on the prostate, while the patient maintains his sexual and reproductive energy, and this is very important.”
Major and supra-major operations:
Urology specialist Dr. Riyad Rashid also revealed the possibility of performing major, supra-major, middle and minor surgeries at IHH.
He explains: “In our hospital, we also perform urethroscopy, cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, nephroscopy, and fertility treatment as well. Sometimes we need to perform varicocele and urethral deformity operations, and we performed hundreds of this type of surgery at Imam al-Hujjah Hospital.”
Modern halls and advanced equipment:
Regarding what distinguishes Imam al-Hujjah Hospital from other hospitals, urology specialist Dr. Riyad Rashid confirmed that “Imam al-Hujjah Hospital has great capabilities in its surgical theaters, which are considered modern and advanced.”
He adds: “The hospital provides modern and advanced equipment and all requirements from some of the most reliable and sophisticated manufacturers in the world, whether European or American.”
He continued: “The staff at Imam al-Hujjah Hospital is an excellent, trained staff who works in other surgical hospitals. They were recruited by the administration on a scientific and professional basis.”
