Doctors from the Department of Nephrology and Andrology - E Hospital have just successfully performed a rare surgery, and treated three diseases of the urinary tract - sexual medicine for a 77-year-old male patient in Hanoi. The patient hadPHPH, right groin herniation and a giant fat tumor in the right scrotum. The "3 in 1" surgery helped the patient escape the pain and inconvenience that has lasted for many years.
Before being admitted to the hospital, the patient continuously had urinary disorders: difficulty urinating, intermittent urination, and frequent urination day and night. Notably, the scrotum had to develop a bulge that became larger and thicker, estimated at 1215cm, weighing nearly 3kg, causing acne and severely affecting daily activities. Although he had endoscopic surgery to remove a prostate enlarge Than tumor 7 years ago, he subjectively did not re-examine, causing the disease to recur and worsen.
Doctors say that if detected early, the treatment of the tumor will be simpler and less complicated. However, the delay caused the three diseases to develop simultaneously, threatening the quality of life and health of elderly patients, who have many underlying diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
After consultation, the team led by Dr. Nguyen Dinh Lien - Head of the Department of Nephrology, Nephrology and Andrology decided to perform a combined surgery: Separate and remove a giant fat tumor, perform endoscopic surgery to treat right groin herniation and intervene with the remaining giant prostate.
The "one-time surgery" method helps reduce the number of anesthesia sessions, shorten recovery time, reduce pain and risk of complications, especially for older patients.
The surgery went smoothly. After surgery, the symptoms of urinary disorders disappear, the giant tumor is gone, helping the patient feel relieved and healthy.
Experts recommend that prostate enlargement, herniated groin or scrotum tumors are common diseases in middle-aged and elderly men. Regular examination and early treatment when there are unusual signs such as urinary tract disorders, blood urine, the appearance of foreign lumps in the scrotum... play an important role, helping to avoid dangerous complications.
