Muscat: The Medical City for Military and Security Services has successfully performed a vertebral fixation surgery using conscious regional anesthesia, eliminating the need for general anesthesia.

According to Oman News Agency, the operation is a pioneering step in advanced surgical care, underscoring the hospital’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge international medical practices. It demonstrates the hospital’s dedication to developing safe and modern treatment options for its patients.

The use of conscious regional anesthesia in this surgery reduces the risk of complications and accelerates patient recovery, particularly benefiting those with chronic conditions that render general anesthesia a hazardous option. The anesthesia team effectively managed the case by precisely adjusting sedation doses, ensuring the patient remained fully conscious, allowing the surgical team to monitor neurological responses in real time.

Additionally, the nursing team played a crucial role, preparing the patient both psyc
hologically and physically, and providing consistent post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery process.
