Jordan Field Hospital in Gaza operate complex branchial surgery

A specialized surgical team at the Jordanian Field Hospital South Gaza/10 successfully performed a branchial cyst excision on Wednesday for a 58-year-old patient.

The patient suffered for more than a year from a large, abnormal cyst, progressively impairing swallowing and breathing. The mass also exerted pressure on major blood vessels, reducing flow to the brain.

The mass was entirely removed without complications despite the medical challenges posed by the cyst’s size and proximity to vital structures and sensitive blood vessels in the neck.
