A specialized medical team at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital was able to remove a stone from an 80-year-old woman who was suffering from chronic diseases and blood poisoning.
Urology specialist at Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital, Zahraa Dhaher, stated:
“The patient is eighty years old and has chronic diseases (diabetes and high blood pressure), early dementia, and a stroke, which caused difficulties in performing the operation.”
Adding:
“The patient went to Imam Al-Hujjah Hospital complaining of blood poisoning.”
Adding:
“The symptoms that were evident to the patient were coldness in the extremities and a drop in blood pressure.”
Dr. Dhaher continued:
“Through the necessary tests, we diagnosed the presence of a stone at the bottom of the ureter that caused its obstruction.”
Adding:
“We gave her the necessary treatments until her health condition stabilized, then she was admitted for an emergency operation under general anesthesia under the supervision of Dr. Abdul Amir Al-Nouri.”
She confirmed:
“We placed a catheter and removed the stone. Praise be to God, the operation was successful.”
The urology specialist confirmed:
“After the patient underwent follow-up, she was discharged from the hospital the next day.”
