Dr. Ahmed El-Minshawy, President of Assiut University, extended his congratulations to the medical team at the Women’s Health University Hospital for successfully performing three highly complex and delicate surgical procedures on female patients suffering from various types of cancerous tumors. He commended the exceptional expertise of the doctors and the effective collaboration among different medical specialties.

The President of Assiut University emphasized that university hospitals are witnessing unprecedented development in the level of medical and therapeutic services, through continuous modernization of medical devices and technologies, in addition to improving the performance of medical and nursing cadres, to ensure the provision of advanced health services in accordance with the highest quality standards.

Dr. El-Minshawy explained that the University Women's Health Hospital succeeded in conducting three very delicate surgical operations, in cooperation with the Department of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, where the latest surgical and therapeutic techniques were used to ensure the success of the operations and preserve the health of female patients.

This medical achievement took place under the supervision of Dr. Alaa Attia, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the University Hospitals, Dr. Ahmed Nasr, Director of the University Women's Health Hospital and Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Dr. Khaled Abdel Aziz, Director of the main university hospital.

The first surgery was performed on a 41-year-old woman suffering from ovarian and peritoneal mucinous tumor, where the HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) technique was used.

The second complex surgery was performed on a 45-year-old woman suffering from a pelvic and colon tumor, having previously undergone a hysterectomy and chemotherapy.

Meanwhile, the third procedure aimed to reposition the uterus to its normal anatomical location for a 24-year-old woman, preserving her fertility after undergoing radiotherapy, which could have adversely affected her uterus and ovaries.

Dr. El-Minshawy praised the effective cooperation between the various medical specialties, stressing that this integration contributes to achieving great success in these delicate operations, and praised the efforts of all members of the medical team, noting that this achievement reflects the significant progress in the medical system of university hospitals.

  Dr. Ahmed Nasr expressed the Women's Health University Hospital's keenness to benefit from medical expertise and host specialists in gynecological oncology surgeries to promote knowledge exchange and continuous training for doctors.

The HIPEC technique adds a new success to the treatment system at Assiut University Women's Health Hospital.

Dr. Alaa Ismail stressed that the success of these delicate surgeries at the Women's Health Hospital represents a distinguished addition and a new success for the hospital, noting that since its establishment, the Gynecological Oncology Surgery Unit has achieved many achievements in performing delicate surgeries using the latest advanced medical technologies.

Dr. Basel Rifky praised the longstanding and fruitful collaboration between the Oncology Unit at Mansoura University and the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Assiut University Hospitals , which extends over years, stressing that the HIPEC technique was first used at the National Cancer Institute in Cairo, then at the Cancer Institute in Mansoura and the Cancer Institute in Damanhour, while it was used for the first time in Upper Egypt at Assiut University Hospitals, reflecting the hospital's keenness to provide the latest treatment methods.

Dr. Hisham Abu taleb explained that heat-induced chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an innovative technique that allows the delivery of chemotherapy drugs at temperatures of up to 42.5 degrees Celsius, as they flow through the abdominal cavity to help eliminate spreading cancer cells, ensuring a direct and comprehensive interaction between the cancer cell surface and the chemotherapy drug, which increases its therapeutic efficiency.

An integrated medical team from the Department of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, under the supervision of Dr. Rehab Farouk, Head of the Department, successfully executed these delicate operations. The team included Dr. Maha Al-Najjar – Professor of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Dr. Ahmed Gamal – Assistant Lecture ,Dr. Donia Hussein – Assistant Lecturer and Dr. Shorouq Mustafa –Teaching Assistant .
