The Saudi News newspaper's front page reported that a Saudi hospital successfully performed the world's first robot-assisted brain tumor surgery, a major breakthrough.
Dr. Majid Al-Fayad, CEO of the medical group, said this achievement reflects our increasingly important role in shaping the future of global medicine.
The historic leap in robotic medicine was achieved by King Fahd Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, which successfully completed the world's first robot-assisted intracranial tumor removal with the King Fahd Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh.
This groundbreaking achievement has set a new global standard for precision and recovery in neurosurgical procedures. The operation involved removing a 4.5-centimeter brain tumor from a 68-year-old male patient who had previously experienced severe headaches and difficulty concentrating. The patient was completely alert upon discharge within 24 hours—recovering almost four times faster than traditional brain surgery.
Dr. Homoud Dhaish, a consultant and lead surgeon for skull base tumors at King Fahd Specialist Hospital and Research Center, stated that the robotic system provided exceptional precision and control, allowing surgeons to manipulate critical neural vascular structures safely.
