Yas Clinic launches advanced robotic spine surgery programme
Yas Clinic Khalifa City, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Centre, has launched an advanced robotic spine surgery programme that uses an intelligent navigation system powered by artificial intelligence, marking a significant step forward in establishing Abu Dhabi as a leading hub for advanced medical care. The launch follows the successful completion of two complex procedures by the medical team on female patients in their fifties and sixties who were suffering from spinal canal stenosis and chronic pain that had impaired their mobility. The precision of the robotic intervention accelerated the patients' recovery and enabled them to return to their normal lives. Dr. Maysoon Al Karam, Chief Medical Officer at the hospital, said the technology represents a breakthrough in minimally invasive surgery, enabling unprecedented levels of precision and safety while significantly reducing potential risks. Professor Amr El-Shawarbi, Consultant Neurosurgeon, said the system constitutes a revolution in spinal surgery by providing complete control and extreme accuracy, offering patients better prospects for safe and rapid recovery. The launch is part of the hospital's strategy to integrate cutting-edge medical solutions and expand the scope of robotic surgery to include other specialties in the future, reinforcing Abu Dhabi's position as a regional destination for advanced surgical procedures.

Gaza child receives life-saving transplant in Abu Dhabi
A child with a rare and severe immunodeficiency has undergone life-saving treatment in Abu Dhabi's Yas Clinic in Khalifa City. The bone marrow transplant, conducted under the supervision of the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Centre, came after the child had been admitted for seven months diagnosed with DADA-2 deficiency, state news agency Wam reported. This is a rare genetic disorder that involves inflammation of the body's tissues, especially the tissues that make up the blood vessels. It can lead to damaged vital organs and systems, resulting in disability and even death. After admission, the boy required prolonged care in Yas Clinic's paediatric intensive care unit due to the complexity of his condition. Family support To save his life, and with the UAE's support, his sister was able to travel from Gaza to serve as his matched donor in a transplant performed last month. He has since been discharged and is in a stable condition, Wam added. 'This was an extraordinary case that brought together every element of modern medicine, from genetics and immunology to critical care and transplantation,' said Dr Maysoon Al Karam, chief medical officer at Yas Clinic Khalifa City. 'The commitment shown by our multidisciplinary team and our partners at ADSCC made all the difference in this child's life.' The patient has now returned home to continue his recovery. UAE delivers The operation is one of many examples of how the UAE has supported the people of Gaza since war broke out in the enclave. Launched in 2023 by President Sheikh Mohamed, Operation Gallant Knight 3 has been carried out in collaboration with the Emirates Red Crescent and humanitarian and charitable institutions in the UAE, to deliver aid to those most in need. More than 55,000 tonnes of aid has been delivered through air, and across sea and land, with more than 500 air trips, six transport ships and 2,500 lorries used to carry goods from Egypt into Gaza.
