AMMAN: Doctors at the Jordanian Field Hospital South Gaza/7 have successfully performed a complex surgery on a 19-year-old Palestinian patient who sustained a critical head injury and was suffering from a severe subdural hemorrhage.

The operation, carried out on Saturday, aligns with royal directives aimed at delivering the 'best possible medical and humanitarian services' to people in the Gaza Strip amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

The hospital’s force commander praised the efforts of the specialized and skilled medical staff for their role in executing the delicate procedure.

According to the hospital director, the surgery was led by a team specializing in brain and nerve surgery, supported by anesthesiology experts.

The attending neurosurgeon explained that the patient's injury was caused by shrapnel that penetrated the skull, leading to a life-threatening hemorrhage.

The surgery took five hours, during which the skull was opened, the hemorrhage drained, and cerebral clots removed.

This swift intervention was critical in saving the patient’s life and preventing serious complications.

Following the procedure, the patient was placed under close observation in intensive care before being discharged in stable condition.

The patient's family expressed gratitude to King Abdullah II of Jordan and commended the field hospital’s staff for their tireless efforts to mitigate the humanitarian impact of the conflict on Gaza's population.
