The patient was Mr. T.M.K (65 years old, from Soc Trang province), admitted to the emergency room in a state of severe abdominal pain, continuous vomiting, headache, dizziness and high fever that had lasted for about a day before.
Through the clinical examination and the necessary paraclinical tests, the results of the abdominal CT scan showed that the patient had acute gallbladder inflammation due to stones stuck in the gallbladder phlegm, causing the gallbladder to thicken. Doctors diagnosed the patient with gialloconstriction shock and acute gallbladder inflammation, an extremely dangerous condition, with a high risk of death if not treated promptly.
After conducting a consultation between specialties, doctors at Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital decided to perform the procedure of placing the gallbladder conduction through the skin to resolve the gallbladder infection, and at the same time performed intensive resuscitation for the patient. After the patient's septic shock condition improved significantly, the doctors performed gallbladder surgery via endoscopy.
The surgery was a great success. The patient was completely alert, recovered quickly, and was able to eat well after surgery. The patient was discharged from the hospital just 3 days after surgery and will continue to be re-examined as scheduled by the doctor.
Doctor CKI. Huynh Van Ut Chot - Department of Gastroenterology, Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital - said that this is a serious case, requiring accurate diagnosis and timely treatment intervention. If delayed, the patient may experience serious complications such as sepsis, multiple organ failure, and even death.
Here, diseases in gall are effectively treated with both internal medicine and surgery methods, with personalized treatment plans suitable for each patient. In particular, the less invasive endoscopic surgery method is widely applied, bringing many outstanding advantages such as high efficiency, safety, less invasiveness, pain reduction, ensuring aesthetics, minimizing the risk of complications, and shortening treatment and recovery time for patients.
Doctors recommend that regular health check-ups and abdominal ultrasounds play an important role in early detection and effective treatment of gallbladder diseases as well as other diseases in the abdomen. To prevent gallstones, each person needs to build a scientific lifestyle, including a healthy diet with lots of green vegetables and fresh fruits to provide enough nutrients for the body, limit foods high in fat and greasy fried foods, maintain a habit of exercising at least 30 minutes a day and limit the use of stimulants.
