In a remarkable medical feat, Al Kindi Hospital’s General Surgery Team, led by Dr. Abduljabbar Mirani, successfully removed a staggering 18,970 gallstones from a young man’s gallbladder. This procedure, marks the highest number of gallstones ever removed in the GCC and Middle East. ​

The surgery itself lasted for an hour and a half. However, the sheer volume of gallstones necessitated a meticulous counting process that took an additional three hours.​

“This case was truly exceptional,” said Dr. Abduljabbar Mirani, General Surgeon at Al Kindi Hospital. “The number of gallstones is unprecedented in our region, and the successful removal highlights the expertise and dedication of our surgical team.”​
