He was first admitted to the ICU, where doctors headed by Dr Mostafa ElShahat, emergency medicine specialist, primarily worked on controlling his oxygen levels and bring his breathing back to normal. This also involved ensuring that his blood pressure and flow remained steady.
After this, he was moved to the operating theatre where a neurosurgery team led by Dr Mohamed Mahmoud Khanchour, specialist physician, began operating on him. The surgery involved removing the frontal bone from the skull to protect the brain from fragments from the accident.
After the procedure was successfully completed, he underwent maxillofacial surgery to repair fractures that he sustained around his eyes, specifically on the forehead and cheekbones.
Carried out under the care of Dr Zakaria Ahmad Mohamed, Specialist Physician, this surgery had to take place to prevent any complications like nerve damage, infection or permanent disfigurement.
