Patient D. T. C. L (51 years old, residing in Ho Chi Minh City) has a history of high blood pressure and was previously indicated for surgery at a large hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.
4 days before being hospitalized, the patient developed severe abdominal pain and prolonged fatigue. Through examination, doctors noted that the uterus was very large, almost the size of the umbilical cord, causing abdominal compression and prolonged menstruation, significantly affecting health and daily life.
After performing the necessary paraclinical tests, the hospital organized an inter-specialized consultation and agreed to indicate complete hysterectomy and two adjuncts, combined with endotracheal anesthesia, and fully prepared blood transfusion and postoperative resuscitation plans.
BSCKII Tran Thi Truc Phuong - Department of General Internal Medicine, Nha Be General Hospital said that the surgery took place smoothly in about 120 minutes. Doctors successfully removed the large tumor, controlling bleeding well. Currently, the patient's health is stable, continuing to be monitored and cared for post-operatively in the department, expected to be discharged after about 5 days.
Representatives of the hospital said that this is the first type I surgery successfully performed by the medical team and the hospital's equipment system. The success of the surgery shows the development of grassroots healthcare in mastering many specialized surgical techniques, contributing to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment and creating more trust for people.
