MUSCAT – This marks a strategic advancement that further strengthens its position as a leading centre for specialised and advanced healthcare in the Sultanate of Oman.

The launch of the service was marked by the successful treatment of two complex and unique cases. The first involved the resection of a rectal tumour using endoscopic microdissection techniques, while the second was the performance of a Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure to treat esophageal achalasia. These highly precise interventions reflect a shift from conventional treatment approaches to what specialists describe as precision-engineered therapy.

Hospital officials said the new service underscores the Royal Hospital’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge medical technologies, developing national medical expertise, and implementing safe clinical practices in line with the highest international standards.
