38-year-Old Emirati man suffering for years with pain and bleeding gets groundbreaking procedure 

Dubai – August 11, 2025:Medcare Royal Specialty Hospital has achieved a global medical milestone, successfully performing the first-ever full-thickness endoscopic rectal tumor removal followed by advanced endoscopic hand suturing. This ultra-complex procedure, carried out by Dr. Mohamed Abdelhafez, Head of the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy, Advanced Endoscopy Department at Medcare Royal Specialty Hospital and Associate Professor of Gastroenterology at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, showcases a level of expertise and technology only available in highly specialized centers worldwide.

The 38-year-old Emirati patient had endured years of pain, rectal bleeding, and chronic constipation caused by Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome (SRUS). Traditionally, such a condition would have required invasive open surgery with a high risk of permanent incontinence. Instead, Dr. Abdelhafez performed a full-thickness Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) to completely remove the ulcerated tumor located dangerously close to the anal sphincter. He then closed the large post-resection defect using the cutting-edge SutuArt endoscopic hand suturing system, ensuring optimal healing while preserving full muscle control.
