Surgeons at Dubai Health have announced the successful removal of the world’s largest adrenal tumor at Dubai Hospital.
Dubai Hospital’s multidisciplinary approach to surgery, part of the emirate’s first integrated academic health system, resulted in the best possible outcome. The successful surgery reflects Dubai Health’s commitment to putting the patient first.
The 69-year-old patient, who had previously been in good health, was admitted to the hospital’s emergency unit after a massive abdominal mass was discovered during a scan. The patient’s condition, which had been causing him difficulty walking and breathing for months before surgery, required immediate specialised care. Specialists from various disciplines within Dubai Health convened at Dubai Hospital to determine the best course of action for the patient.
A multidisciplinary team of specialists in urology, oncology, radiology, interventional radiology, vascular surgery, general surgery, and anesthesia carried out a four-hour procedure. The tumor measured 27x26cm and weighed 9.4 kilograms, breaking all previous records.
Dr. Fariborz Bagheri, Consultant Urologist at Dubai Hospital, who oversaw the operation, emphasised the procedure’s complexity and risks. “Due to the tumor’s size and its compression on vital structures, surgical intervention posed considerable challenges,” stated Dr. Fariborz. “However, without intervention, the patient’s survival was at high risk.
