Key Achievements &

Milestones

  • One-year-old twins suffering from a rare debilitating neuromuscular disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy 1 (SMA 1) were given a new lease of life after they underwent a successful gene therapy treatment at Burjeel Hospital, Abu Dhabi
  • Acoustic neurinoma cases operated with hearing and facial movement preservation after total removal 
  • Endoscopic pituitary transsphenoidal surgery saves the patient's eyesight and reduced the pathological level of the pituitary hormone 
  • Emergency posterior fossa suboccipital craniectomy and closure of a massive bleeding cerebellar A.V.M with an improvement of the Glasgow Coma Scale from 3 to 14 afterward 
  • Microscopic removal of the suprasellar tumor with decompression of the optic nerve and preservation of the rapidly deteriorating vision  
  • Correction of severe idiopathic adolescent scoliosis of the spine with the restoration of the sagittal and coronal balance 
  • Removal of spinal cord tumor and the patient was able to regain full motor power of the lower limbs
