Choosing NMC Specialty Hospital Al Salam for Norwood Surgery gives patients access to experienced congenital heart surgeons, advanced neonatal cardiac operating facilities, cardiopulmonary bypass technology, specialized imaging, and pediatric intensive-care support. Established in 1999, the CBAHI accredited hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has 100 beds and provides specialized neonatal and congenital cardiac surgical services.

Norwood Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia with cardiopulmonary bypass and involves reconstruction of the heart's major outflow pathway and establishment of controlled pulmonary blood flow. The exact technique varies according to the child's anatomy and may involve a modified Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt or a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit. After surgery, infants require intensive monitoring of oxygenation, circulation, heart function, feeding, and other vital parameters during the recovery period.
