The tumor is suspected to be an endotri dish (IPMN) tumor - a damage that can turn into cancer if not intervened early. Therefore, instead of a photoshope, doctors decided to completely remove the tumor by endoscopic surgery to limit the risk of cyst rupture and spread of malignant cells.
With such a large tumor, the photosensation can be dangerous, so we chose the safe option of immediate surgery - Dr. Nguyen Minh Trong, Director of the Dysbiosis and Nephrology Center said.
The surgery went smoothly, the patient had his entire torso and Pancreatic tail removed and the seeps were examined endoscopically. Thanks to modern techniques, the patient recovered quickly, had little pain and had a high cosmetic surgery.
This case is proof of the potential dangers of pancreatic disease. Regular examination helps detect early, intervene promptly, and avoid serious complications. "Every 6 months, you should have a general examination and abdominal ultrasound to promptly detect abnormalities" - Dr. Trong advised.
