Nigerian hospital blazes trail in arm replacement surgery

By

For the first time, a Nigerian hospital has blazed the trail in metallic replacement of the whole arm bone, shoulder and elbow joints.

The life-saving medical procedure which is the first in Nigeria and West Africa was performed by a team of surgeons at Lagoon Hospitals, Lagos.

The team was led by Dr. Segun Abudu, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal Orthopedic Hospital, Birmingham UK, seconded to the hospital.

Commenting on the ground breaking surgery, the Hygeia Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lars Stork noted that a significant number of Nigerians who go abroad for similar treatment will now have it done in the country.

Stork added that the outstanding achievement demonstrated the commitment of the hospital to operating at global standards.

Research shows that there are only approximately 50 – 60 cases of this type of surgery performed even in the UK to date, therefore making this surgery historical. This operation adds to the number of high-end surgeries we have performed over the last few years.”

Chief Operating Officer of the Hospital, Dr. Naseem Mohammed, said “Lagoon Hospitals, have the facilities to perform all forms of surgical procedures including hip and knee replacements, keyhole surgery for the knee bone with modern techniques.
