Morocco’s first minimally invasive mastectomy performed in Casablanca by Akdital

Akdital Group has reached a major milestone in surgical innovation with a groundbreaking procedure performed at the International Oncology Center in Casablanca. For the first time in Morocco, doctors successfully carried out a minimally invasive mastectomy, offering a new level of care for breast cancer patients.

The surgery, led by Dr. Adnane Afifi, involves removing the affected breast tissue while maintaining the natural outward appearance of the breast, leaving only a nearly invisible scar. This technique not only improves cosmetic outcomes but also significantly reduces post-operative pain, shortens hospital stays, and helps patients maintain better emotional well-being throughout their treatment journey.

Dr. Afifi described the operation as a major step forward, highlighting its dual focus on medical performance and patient-centered care. “This first-of-its-kind procedure reflects our commitment to delivering surgical solutions that are both effective and compassionate,” he said.

As Morocco’s leading private healthcare provider, Akdital continues to expand its role in cancer care by embracing cutting-edge techniques aligned with global medical standards. This latest achievement not only enhances the quality of oncological treatment within the country but also places Morocco firmly on the path toward international best practices in surgical innovation.
