A specialized surgical team from the Surgery Department of the College of Medicine at Al-Nahrain University, in collaboration with Al-Imamain Al-Kadhimain Teaching Hospital, led by Professor Dr. Bashar Abbas, a specialist in gastrointestinal surgery, performed a major surgery on a 73-year-old patient. The head of the surgical team mentioned that the patient had been suffering from a lymphatic tumor in the neck for the past seven months. During the PET scan conducted by Professor Dr. Waseem Fadel Al-Tamimi, a specialist in hematology, another tumor was discovered in the right colon. After a colonoscopy, the tumor was confirmed. Following discussions by the hematology and gastrointestinal surgery teams, it was decided to proceed with treating the lymphatic tumor using chemotherapy. Once the treatment was completed and the patient was cured of the lymphatic tumor, the patient was referred to the surgical team. After completing the necessary preparations, the patient was admitted to the hospital, and a right colectomy was performed, fully removing the tumor. The small intestine was then connected to the remaining part of the colon using laparoscopic surgery through small incisions and internal stapling techniques. The patient is in good health, and thankfully, he was discharged after just one day of hospitalization. The surgical team consisted of: Professor Dr. Bashar Abbas, Specialist in Gastrointestinal Surgery Dr. Ali Radi, Anesthesiologist Dr. Baha Al-Din, General Surgery Resident Dr. Ali Taha, Surgery Resident Dr. Osama Mohammed, General Surgery Resident Rawaa, Skilled Surgical Assistant
