Alkafeel Hospital Achieves Success in Treating a Rare Pediatric ENT Case
A specialized otolaryngology surgical team at Alkafeel Hospital in Karbala successfully treated a young girl from Baghdad who had been suffering from a congenital malformation of the vocal cords.
Consultant Dr. Nadhim Imran explained that the malformation had caused the child to experience persistent hoarseness of voice and breathing difficulties. After a thorough clinical assessment, including endoscopic evaluation, the decision was made to proceed with corrective treatment using advanced laser technology. This technique provided high precision and effective outcomes without the need for extensive surgical intervention.
Dr. Imran emphasized that the success of the operation highlights the advanced technological capabilities available at the hospital. The presence of state-of-the-art equipment, in addition to the expertise of the anesthesiology team and post-operative support staff, played a crucial role in enabling the adoption of this innovative therapeutic approach.
He further noted that the results were excellent, with the child showing significant improvement in both breathing and voice, and a strong prognosis for full recovery in the near future.
