A specialized medical team at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, part of the University Medical City, has achieved a groundbreaking medical milestone — the first of its kind in the Sultanate of Oman — by successfully performing a highly complex near-total pancreatectomy on a 12-week-old infant.
The procedure was carried out using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery techniques, in accordance with the latest internationally approved medical practices and protocols in this highly specialized field. This advanced approach helped reduce surgical risks and accelerate the infant’s recovery process.
This remarkable achievement reflects the advanced capabilities of Omani medical professionals in handling rare and delicate pediatric cases. It also reinforces the position of the University Medical City as a leading referral center that keeps pace with the technological revolution in modern and sustainable medicine and surgery.
