The first open-heart pediatric cardiac surgery in Basra, Iraq
At Al-Sayyab University Hospital in Basra, the first open-heart surgery was successfully performed on a 7-year-old girl suffering from severe stenosis of the right ventricular outflow tract.
The operation was carried out as part of an international healthcare cooperation project, jointly coordinated by the Basra Department of Health, led by Abbas Altamimi, with direct support from Governor Assad Aleidani, and in partnership with the GKSD Group, chaired by Kamel Ghribi, Chairman of GSD Healthcare, President of the GKSD Group, and Vice President of Gruppo San Donato.
The procedure was led by Professor Tammam Youssef, with the participation of the local medical team, and took place in operating rooms and intensive care units equipped with advanced technology. This milestone marks the beginning of a program to develop pediatric cardiac surgery in Iraq.
Hospital management, represented by Ali Aleidani, confirmed that the successful outcome was the result of months of preparation and continuous staff training to ensure the sustainability of complex medical services.
This achievement strengthens confidence in the national healthcare system and opens new prospects for international collaboration in highly specialized medical fields.

As Part of efforts to strengthen cooperation between Egypt and Italy, GKSD Group, San Donato Group, and the Egyptian Ministry of Health signed a health cooperation agreement to develop the New Heliopolis Hospital in Cairo.
The agreement was signed yesterday during the EGYPS Egypt Energy Show in Cairo, by Kamel Ghribi, Chairman of GSD Healthcare, President of the GKSD Group, and Vice President of the San Donato Group, and Ahmed Mostafa, President of the Health Insurance Organization of Egypt. The signing ceremony took place in the presence of the Egyptian Minister of Health, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, and the Egyptian Minister of Oil, Karim Badawi. Michael Damianos, Minister of Energy of Cyprus, was also present.
Heliopolis is the first hospital of the National Health Insurance Organization. It will be a highly specialized center, equipped with 433 beds, a cancer center, a heart center, neurosurgery, a pediatric and maternal-child ward, and an organ transplant center.
It is estimated that the new hospital will serve a population of about 1 million people.
The contract will start in 2027, upon completion of construction, and will last 15 years.
Kamel Ghribi expressed his appreciation for Egypt's growth, stressing that "the agreement represents a solid starting point to strengthen health cooperation between the two countries and offer increasingly advanced medical services to Egyptian citizens."

Robotic surgery is a computer-assisted surgical technique. It involves a mechanical arm that, in knee replacements, uses sensors placed on the tibia and femur to provide the surgeon with a comprehensive view of the joint, indicating where to cut the bone and where to position the prosthesis.
It does not aim to teach the surgeon how to apply a prosthesis, but it is extraordinarily useful to have it inserted in the best possible way (exploiting three-dimensionality) to respect the force vectors and subjective loads, avoiding wear.
Currently, robotics is applied in:
• Knee replacement surgery, both noncompartmental (when only one portion of the knee is replaced) and total
• Hip replacement surgery
• Shoulder replacement surgery
Today, interventions performed with robotic support have increased alongside traditional surgical procedures.
Using a robot gives the surgical procedure greater precision than other techniques. While sitting comfortably at the console, robotics allows you to:
• Perform movements in space with multiple degrees of freedom
• Perform rotations with an amplitude greater than the surgeon's wrist
Prosthetic surgery, particularly joint surgery, is a surgery that uses a navigator: through this navigator, the computer perceives the position of the joint and, based on the data collected, provides:
• The degrees of angle of a knee during movement
• The axial deviations it presents
• The range of motion and stability of the inserted prosthesis
• The axes of the prosthetic joint
A well-fitting prosthesis does not necessarily mean that the patient is well, but positioning it correctly is certainly the first step towards a satisfactory result.
The most significant limitation is that it is an operator-dependent technology. The robot does not replace the surgeon, since it is the surgeon who sets the navigator and consequently decides where to place a prosthesis. The robot simply executes.
Therefore, if the settings recorded by the surgeon are incorrect, there could be complications:
• Short term (rare): bleeding risks, fractures, instability
• In the medium and long term: infectious risk
Before reaching a fully customized scenario, it's best to standardize processes as much as possible. Medicine is an art that, even though illuminated by science, remains manual: the robot translates the surgeon's movements intuitively, but it is the specialist who operates the machine.
The robotic platform in use at the S. Anna Clinical Institute in Brescia assists the surgeon by offering a significant contribution:
• During bone resection procedures
• In the evaluation of the condition of soft tissues
The device consists of 2 units, positioned respectively on each side of the operating table:
• A robotic unit consisting of a compact robotic arm and a touchscreen
• An optical drive equipped with another touchscreen
This is an extremely advanced robotic system that enables a surgical procedure to be better planned and a three-dimensional anatomical model tailored to the patient to be built.

Knee replacement surgery helps reduce pain and improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions. The two main options are unicompartmental and total knee replacement.
The knee is made up of three compartments: medial, lateral, and patellofemoral. Degeneration, most often due to osteoarthritis, may affect one or all compartments, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Surgical treatment may therefore involve replacing one compartment or the entire joint.
This procedure replaces only the damaged compartment—most commonly the medial one—while preserving ligaments and much of the knee’s natural anatomy, allowing for a less invasive operation and faster recovery.
Performed under spinal anesthesia with sedation and lasting about 60 minutes, the surgeon accesses the affected compartment through an anterior incision, removes arthritic tissue, implants metal components with a polyethylene insert, fixes them with cement, and closes the incision after checking stability.
Advantages:
• Quicker recovery
• Preservation of bone, tissue, and ligaments
• Reduced surgical impact
• Possible future conversion to total replacement
Total knee replacement involves replacing the entire femoral-tibial joint and, if necessary, the patellofemoral surface. It is the preferred solution when osteoarthritis is extensive.
Usually lasting about 1 hour, the surgery involves a larger anterior incision, complete joint preparation, correction of limb alignment, and implantation of the prosthesis with or without cement, depending on bone quality.
Advantages:
• effective in advanced osteoarthritis
• restores joint stability
• corrects significant deformities
• provides substantial pain relief
The choice depends on the extent of osteoarthritis, knee stability, and the patient’s overall condition, following a thorough orthopedic evaluation.
Indications:
• Unicompartmental: localized osteoarthritis, intact ligaments, good alignment
• Total: multi-compartment disease, deformities, instability, or failed previous treatments
Rehabilitation is essential after both procedures and begins within hours after surgery to restore movement and muscle strength.
Recovery times:
• Unicompartmental: walking in 24–48 hours; daily activities in 4–6 weeks
• Total: walking within 48 hours; daily activities in 6–12 weeks; full recovery may take up to 12 months
