Patient V.T.V, 69 years old, residing in Yen Xuan commune (Hanoi) underwent successful endoscopic surgery to remove large kidney follicles.
Dr. Nguyen Duc Thao - Head of Surgery Department, Thach That General Hospital said that the patient was admitted to the hospital with a large kidney follicle that caused pain and affected daily activities. With a large size and complex location, this kidney follicle needs to be treated promptly to avoid dangerous complications. After consultation, the doctors decided to apply endoscopy instead of open surgery.
According to BSCKI Nguyen Duc Thao, the outstanding benefits of endoscopic techniques include less aggression and pain reduction; Rapid recovery, small surgical wounds help wounds heal quickly, patients move quickly and be discharged from the hospital in a short time; Reduced risk of complications, risk of blood loss, infections much lower than open surgery, ensuring maximum safety; High aesthetics, small scars, leaving few traces after surgery.
After surgery, patient V quickly recovered, had no complications and soon returned to normal activities.
This success once again affirms the professional qualifications of the lower-level medical team. Local people can access advanced medical techniques right at the grassroots level, contributing to reducing the burden on upper-level hospitals and improving the quality of community health care.
