Professor Dr. Hany Abdel-Gawwad Soliman, Consultant Spine Surgeon for Children and Adults and Head of the Scoliosis Center of Excellence at Adam Vital Hospital in Dubai, said that “the patient had visited him in Dubai as a last hope after being refused treatment at several prominent hospitals in UK and Spain due to complexity of her pathology and high risk of suboptimal outcomes. Despite of previously undergoing surgery in Spain to release her spinal cord, her medical reports showed that her spine deformity progressed with the formation of massive cysts throughout her spinal cord, one of the most complex medical conditions along with Kyphoscoliosis. She was advised to undergo multiple surgeries in Europe to restore her spinal cord function”.

“I was moved with her life threatening plight and decided to operate on the child despite of her medical reports indicating a high risk of post-surgical paralysis. With the grace of Almighty, we at Adam Vital Hospital were able to successfully treat this very complex spinal deformity with first of its kind procedure in the region with just one surgical attempt.”

Mohammed Omer Nasser, CEO of Adam Vital Hospital said that” With the recent launch of our Scoliosis Center of Excellence under the expert leadership of Prof. Dr. Hany, we are restoring hope and transforming lifes in children and adults with complex and rare spinal deformities from the Gulf region and across the world. We are glad we are able to offer this world class care right in the heart of Dubai for our patients.
