Patient Relations
On April 25, a multidisciplinary team of surgical specialists was convened by Dr. Ahmad AlShadwi, consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon and Dr. Hasan AlAjmi, consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon, to conduct the first JHAH complex resection and reconstruction of the tongue and mouth floor.
The 62-year-old female patient came to JHAH with an extensive history of tongue cancer that in 2018 had been surgically removed (resected) and followed by radiation therapy at another healthcare provider. The patient was referred to the JHAH Plastic Surgery Clinic for decaying and necrotic jaw tissue and bone after having been treated at other hospitals in the Kingdom and in the US.
The team included Dr. Ahmad AlShadewi; Dr. Abdulaziz AlAbidi, head and neck surgeon; and Dr. Hasan AlAjmi.
The case involved complex resection and removal of affected parts of the jaw bone, tissue of the mouth floor and half of the tongue. This was followed by reconstruction of the affected parts of the mouth and tongue using living tissue taken from the patient’s forearm.
Using the most advanced microsurgery microscope, Dr. AlAjmi conducted an extremely challenging microvascular anastomosis with Dr. Mohammed Mahmoud, plastic surgery staff surgeon, to obtain the necessary living tissues from the patient.
After the successful procedure, the patient is comfortably recovering at home with her family.
