On May 12, news from Ninh Hoa Regional General Hospital said that it had just successfully performed endoscopic surgery for a 33-year-old male patient with appendicitis - a rare disease in digestive surgery.
According to information from the hospital, the patient was admitted to the hospital in a state of prolonged abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa.
Through clinical examination and imaging diagnosis, doctors recorded cystic lesions in the appendix, suspected of a systoma.
During the surgery, the team proceeded to remove the appendix and safely remove the entire tumor, minimizing the risk of ruptured mucus into the abdominal cavity.
Postoperative pathology results determined that the patient had "Low-grade mucocele of the appendix".
According to doctors, this is not a common disease but contains many risks if detected late. When the tumor ruptures, the mucus can spread in the abdominal cavity, causing pseudo-peritoneal mucus - a complex complication, greatly affecting health as well as the long treatment process.
After surgery, the patient had stable vital signs and recovered well.
Doctors recommend that many people are often subjective about prolonged, simmering abdominal pain or self-medicating at home.
Meanwhile, some dangerous surgical diseases have quite vague initial manifestations.
Regular health check-ups and early screening help detect many dangerous diseases, improve treatment effectiveness and reduce the risk of complications.
