Procedures Performed

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is performed to treat severe coronary artery disease caused by blocked or narrowed heart arteries. The procedure restores blood flow to the heart by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass the blockage. At American Hospital Dubai, CABG is conducted in advanced cardiac operating suites supported by modern catheterization labs and specialized cardiac ICUs. In selected cases, minimally invasive or off-pump techniques may be used to reduce complications and enhance recovery. Patients are closely monitored post-surgery in a cardiac intensive care unit before beginning structured cardiac rehabilitation.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total Knee Replacement is recommended for patients with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage causing chronic pain and limited mobility. The damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with durable prosthetic implants. The hospital uses modern surgical planning techniques and minimally invasive approaches when appropriate to improve implant positioning and reduce tissue trauma. Enhanced recovery protocols support early mobilization and effective pain management. Physiotherapy typically begins within 24 hours of surgery, helping patients regain strength and function. Shorter hospital stays and structured rehabilitation plans make this procedure suitable for international medical travellers.

Brain Tumor Surgery

Brain tumor surgery is performed to remove benign or malignant tumors causing neurological symptoms such as headaches, seizures, or weakness. The neurosurgical team uses advanced MRI imaging and intraoperative navigation systems to accurately locate and safely remove the tumor while preserving surrounding brain tissue. Multidisciplinary collaboration ensures comprehensive care before and after surgery. Patients are monitored in specialized neurological intensive care units, and rehabilitation services are provided if required.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder, typically due to gallstones or inflammation. Using small incisions and a high-definition camera system, surgeons remove the gallbladder with minimal tissue damage. Compared to open surgery, this approach results in less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery. Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days and can resume normal activities quickly, making it convenient for overseas patients seeking short hospital stays.

Bariatric Surgery (Gastric Sleeve)

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a weight-loss procedure recommended for patients with severe obesity and related health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. During the surgery, a large portion of the stomach is removed, reducing food intake and appetite. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, resulting in less postoperative discomfort and quicker recovery. A multidisciplinary team evaluates each patient before surgery and provides long-term nutritional guidance and follow-up care.
