Gaza: A specialized surgical team at the Jordanian Field Hospital South Gaza/10 successfully performed a branchial cyst excision on Wednesday for a 58-year-old patient.
According to Jordan News Agency, the patient had been suffering for more than a year from a large, abnormal cyst that progressively impaired swallowing and breathing. The mass also exerted pressure on major blood vessels, reducing the flow of blood to the brain.
The surgical team managed to entirely remove the mass without complications, despite the significant medical challenges posed by the cyst's size and its proximity to vital structures and sensitive blood vessels in the neck.
