supervision of its head of urology unit Dr Adel Al-Hunayan, in the presence of
professor Ahmad Al-Shal of Mansourah Kidney Transplant International Center.

The workshop

removal using laser laparoscopy, while seven surgeries were done over three
days, and all patients made full recovery one day after the procedure.

Urologists from
various urology surgery units in health ministry and military hospitals

directly contribute to the continued educational training of doctors in various
micro surgeries.

expressed appreciation for the major role of the health ministry by inviting
specialized experts, supervising workshops and making available tools necessary
to perform such surgeries while making this service available in various health
ministry hospitals.
