Prof.Ahmed El-Minshawy, President of Assiut University, expressed his congratulations to the medical team in the artificial joints unit at the University Trauma and Emergency Hospital for their success in performing a precise surgery to replace the hip joint through limited anterior intervention, without the need to cut the muscles, which accelerates recovery and reduces complications.

Prof. El-Minshawy emphasized that this achievement reflects the competence of Assiut University medical staff and their keenness to adopt the latest medical methods to ensure advanced medical care for patients, praising the efforts of university hospitals in providing distinguished medical services that serve thousands of patients from various governorates of Upper Egypt.

The artificial joints unit received a 34-year-old woman who suffered from hip erosion, and the medical team was able to perform the surgery through a small opening of only 5 cm, which allowed the patient to quickly restore her motor functions and reduce the risk of claudication compared to traditional methods.

Prof. El-Minshawy stressed that this success reinforces the position of Assiut University Hospitals as one of the most important medical institutions in Egypt, explaining that the university supports the development of the medical sector by providing the latest equipment and technologies, and training medical staff on modern therapeutic and surgical methods to ensure the best level of healthcare for patients in Upper Egypt.
