Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat has performed the first implantation of an artificial urinary control device for men in Oman, marking a significant advancement in the country’s medical services. The procedure was conducted by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, headed by Dr. Intisar bint Mohammed al Hashmi, Consultant Urologist at the hospital within University Medical City.

The intervention represents a sophisticated treatment for severe urinary incontinence in men, requiring precise surgical skills and specialized expertise. By offering this procedure locally, the hospital aims to improve patient access to advanced medical options and enhance overall quality of life for affected individuals.

This achievement aligns with broader initiatives to localize medical care and develop specialized healthcare services in Oman. The successful implantation signals progress in expanding the range of complex treatments available within the Sultanate, reducing the need for patients to seek such care abroad.
