Gaza: Medical teams at the Jordanian Field Hospital-South Gaza/7 on Saturday performed a complex surgical operation on a 22-year-old patient who had sustained chest and abdominal injuries that caused severe bleeding. The hospital's commander stated that the surgery was conducted by a specialized medical team, with the participation of anesthesiologists and operating room technicians from the facility, and it was successful.

According to Jordan News Agency, the hospital director emphasized that many of the cases treated are critical and complex, necessitating surgical interventions such as maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, shrapnel removal, and fracture fixation. He affirmed that these efforts are part of the specialized medical services provided by the hospital to residents of the Gaza Strip.

A general surgery specialist detailed that the patient was admitted to the emergency department suffering from heavy bleeding, low blood pressure, and difficulty breathing due to shrapnel injuries in the chest and abdomen. A chest tube was inserted, and the patient was moved to the operating room for emergency surgery, where doctors encountered multiple injuries and perforations in the diaphragm, spleen, stomach, and intestines.

During the operation, the diaphragm and stomach were repaired, the spleen was removed, a section of damaged intestine was resected, and a lateral stoma was created due to the severity of the injury. Post-surgery, the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for monitoring and further treatment.

Since its deployment on July 20, the Jordanian Field Hospital-South Gaza/7 has attended to 45,431 medical cases, performed 2,940 major and minor operations, and fitted 93 upper and lower prosthetic limbs, bringing the total to 625 prostheses under the "Restoring Hope" initiative.
