back of an elderly person in Asir
Yesterday, I successfully performed a rare surgery for an elderly person in the Armed Forces Hospitals program in the South, where an anterior bone tumor was removed in the cervical vertebrae of the spine extending from the second to the sixth paragraph. Breathing during sleep and a marked change in the tone of the voice as a result of that swelling, as confirmed by the diagnosis by X-ray and CT, and these symptoms disappeared after undergoing a precise operation at the site of the injury that lasted about two hours in which the bony swelling was removed from the anterior area of the cervical vertebrae and the patient did not experience any Complications during or after the operation.
The operation was performed by Dr. Khaled bin Muhammad al-Asiri, consultant orthopedic and spine surgeon in the program, who explained that the patient’s condition is considered one of the rare medical cases due to the size of the tumor and its effect on the larynx and pharynx area, which led to his difficulty in swallowing and breathing, especially during sleep and this is called medically. Sleep suffocation also led to his high coarseness in the tones of the voice due to the pressure of the tumor on the throat and the influence of the nerves of the vocal cords, and this condition is recorded in small numbers in the medical history of surgery, and between the participation of Dr. Asphyxia before the operation, in an emergency.
