Vinh Long General Hospital has just successfully operated on a rare cyst of the spleen using endoscopy. Patient N.V.T. (48 years old) was hospitalized with a dull pain in the left lower rib. The 6x6cm tumor occupies nearly 2/3 of the spleen.
The surgery was performed by the General Surgery Department team led by Dr. Nguyen Thi Bich Chi - Deputy Head of the Department, and Dr. Tran Nhat Phi
The process of releasing ligaments, dissolving capillaries, and cutting the spleen is safe and gentle, limiting damage to surrounding organs, lasting 2 hours.
Patient T said he was satisfied with the consultation, gentle surgery and quick recovery. After surgery, he felt a quick, stable recovery, could move lightly and eat after 24 hours, and was discharged after 3 days.
Weed surgery helps relieve pain, improve aesthetics, reduce hospital stay and limit complications compared to open surgery.
