Unprecedented HybridKnife Surgery Technique First Practiced in Lebanon

Professor Raghid Khouri, Head of the Department of Urology at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Notre Dame de Secours in Jbeil and president-elect of the Lebanese Association for urology, conducted the first of its kind surgery in Lebanon, the Middle East and Africa, to eradicate tumors that form in the bladder using a new technique known as the HybridKnife.

HybridKnife technique constitutes an important turning point in this type of surgery and helps to remove the tumors in a single bloc, which prevents the spread of cancer cells.

Furthermore Professor Khoury explained in details how anatomy is conducted by the Waterjet technique which is used in surgical operations to eliminate kidney tumors, bladder tumors and helps isolate and protect nerve dysfunction in prostate cancer surgery.
