On October 1, the Central Highlands General Hospital announced that it had just performed surgery on a male patient with a bladder tumor and removed a large stone.
Previously, on September 21, the hospital admitted patient Y.K.E. (45 years old, Krong Ana district) who was admitted with colic pain in the lower abdomen. The patient was weak, tired, pale, and had blood in his urine.
Through screening, doctors discovered a tumor in the bladder with a very large stone, requiring surgery to remove the stone and tumor.
Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Hoang - Head of the Department of Nephrology and Urology said: "The patient had blood in his urine and kidney failure, so he had to receive many units of blood before he could undergo surgery."
"After nearly 2 hours of surgery, we removed a bladder stone weighing 700 grams. In more than 20 years of experience, this is the first time I have seen a bladder stone of such a large size," Dr. Hoang shared.
