tumor spreads, threatening the health of patients
Ms. C. (51 years old, residing in Can Tho) went to Vinmec Can Tho General Hospital for examination with a tense lower abdomen and a chronic pain that lasted for many months. The examination results showed that the large tumor in the hacapillary area, extending all the way to the navel, is a combination of multiple uterine fibroids and large ovarian tumors - a complex condition, with a high risk of compressing the bladder, intestines and urethra, causing dangerous complications if not intervened promptly.
After a multidisciplinary consultation, the patient was indicated for total uterine cutting surgery, with the goal of completely removing the disease and preserving maximum function of surrounding organs.
Although the tumor was large and widespread, the surgical team completely treated the operation in just over 1 hour, using modern endoscopy. The surgery was performed directly by Dr. Nguyen Chi Quang - Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vinmec Central Park (HCMC). With a system of diagnostic support facilities, sharp hyperglycemic images, advanced surgical knife systems and the smooth coordination of the entire team, the tumor was accurately removed without causing damage to neighboring organs, without much blood loss and leaving no complications after surgery.
Intscopy is now not only an alternative to traditional open surgery, but has become a new treatment standard for complex gynecological diseases. For patients with large tumors with many sticky spots, endoscopy helps to completely handle them but still ensures safety, less pain and quick recovery, Dr. Quang shared.
After surgery, the patient was closely monitored in a standard sterile environment, recovered well and was discharged from the hospital for a short time with a stable physical condition.
