An Emirati athlete who received life-changing surgery for a bowel condition is now able to pursue his Olympic dream.

Mohammad was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 15 years ago. The chronic condition causes inflammation of the gut, and symptoms can include pain, persistent diarrhea, weight loss and fatigue.

Many patients can control ulcerative colitis with medication, but for Mohammad, they didn’t work. Hasan visited doctors all over the world in an effort to find a cure.

Dr. Zaher Koutoubi​, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi says, “A colonoscopy revealed pre-cancerous cells in Mohammad’s colon. Doctors plan two more surgeries in the future to restore his bowel function by constructing a ‘j-pouch’ that will eliminate his need for a bag altogether, allowing him to use the toilet normally again.

Doctor also found high Dysplasia during dignosis and It can lead to a wide range of conditions that involve enlarged tissue or pre-cancerous cells.

Dr. Shafik Sidani, the colorectal surgeon who performed the surgery at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi said, “Because Mohammad’s surgery was performed using minimally invasive techniques, he was able to fly through his hospital stay and get back to his life, and sports challenges very quickly.
