Can Tho - A team of doctors from Military Hospital 121 successfully treated a pregnant woman with umbilical cord ligament complications.

On the afternoon of March 22, sources from the Department of Obstetrics and Pediatrics, Military Hospital 121 confirmed that they had successfully handled a case of a pregnant woman with umbilical cord ligament complications. This is a rare condition but potentially poses a direct threat to the fetus's life.

According to the team of doctors directly involved, umbilical cord ligation is an obstetric complication that is difficult to detect, which can hinder the flow of fetal blood, leading to acute fetal failure or even stillbirth if not intervened in time.

The surgery was deployed in a short time with careful preparation, accurate operations and smooth coordination between professional departments. Thanks to timely treatment, the baby was safely removed from the mother's womb, crying to welcome life in the emotion of the family and medical team.

The success of the intervention is not only due to solid expertise but also to a high sense of responsibility and proactiveness in monitoring and early detection of risks. This is a key factor in helping to minimize risks in complex cases, especially rare complications such as umbilical cord numbness.

This case continues to be proof of the professional capacity and dedication of the team of doctors of Military Hospital 121 in maternal and newborn health care. At the same time, it also shows the importance of regular prenatal check-ups, close monitoring of pregnancy developments to promptly detect and handle dangerous situations that may occur.
