According to information from the Center for Andrology, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, when admitted to the hospital, the patient was in critical condition: low blood pressure, severe blood loss, wide wound in the groin area and complete rupture of the vascular bundle of the sperm cord on both sides. This is considered one of the most complex and rare sperm cord injuries in recent years.
Medical history investigation shows that the patient has a history of cirrhosis due to alcohol and regularly uses alcohol. In a moment of loss of control, this person used a knife to cut his "private parts", leading to serious consequences. Doctors said that if not treated promptly during the "golden hour", the patient's genitals are at risk of necrosis, even life-threatening.
Faced with the emergency situation, MSc.BS Nguyen Huu Thao - Center for Andrology, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital - and the team decided to perform an emergency microsurgery to reconnect the entire blood vessel system and vas deferens on both sides. This is a complex technique, requiring high professional qualifications and absolute accuracy.
According to MSc. Dr. Nguyen Huu Thao, in a complex bleeding environment, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between the esperic arteries, esperic veins and vas deferens. The team had to use a microsurgery lens to magnify 8-10 times to find each broken blood vessel structure.
Accurately identifying and successfully reconnecting these structures requires in-depth understanding of vasectomy and extensive microsurgery experience. Even a small deviation can cause the entire effort to fail. Such vasectomy on both sides is extremely rare," said Dr. Thao.
After surgery, ultrasound results showed that blood flow had returned to circulate well through the arteries and veins. This opened up opportunities for functional recovery for the patient.
Doctors say that the testicles are not only a reproductive organ but also play a role as a "factory" producing testosterone hormone - an important factor determining male physiological and psychological health. Even if the patient has two children, preserving the testicles is still important for long-term quality of life.
Experts at the Center for Andrology recommend that alcohol abuse can cause many serious consequences. In addition to the risk of chronic liver damage such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, alcohol also directly affects the central nervous system, reducing the ability to control behavior.
In times of loss of consciousness, patients can perform dangerous actions, causing serious consequences for health, even threatening life and permanently damaging reproductive function.
