Over the past 4 days, doctors from K Hospital and experts from Japan have successfully performed 4 robotic surgeries on patients with stomach cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer and esophageal cancer.
"The doctors' robotic surgery techniques are very high"
After working with the team of doctors at K Hospital, on February 23, K Hospital and Nagoya University Hospital, Japan, signed a memorandum of understanding to mark a new development in the bilateral cooperation relationship.
Sharing at the signing ceremony, Prof. Shuji Takiguchi, director of the Japanese Endoscopic Surgery Association, highly appreciated the modern robotic surgical techniques of the hospital's doctors.
"The doctors here are very good at performing robotic surgery, endoscopic surgery, microsurgery and plastic surgery in cancer. In particular, the doctors' robotic surgery techniques are very high. We have learned a lot when participating in surgeries at the hospital.
I was also surprised that there are many expensive surgical robots here that many countries have not imported yet. Currently, robotic surgery is very promising and I hope that this signing will help both sides have more opportunities for cooperation," said Prof. Shuji Takiguchi.
He also expressed that after this working trip he will bring his students to Vietnam to study.
One of the patients who underwent surgery this time was Mrs. NT (67 years old) who was admitted to the hospital with poor sleep and weight loss. Through examination, doctors discovered that Mrs. T. had a tumor occupying nearly half the circumference of her intestine, and was diagnosed with low rectal cancer.
After consultation, doctors from K Hospital and Japan performed surgery using a new generation robot at the hospital. The surgery was successful, and the patient is recovering well after surgery.
One of the most advanced techniques in surgical cancer treatment
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Van Binh, Deputy Director of K Hospital, minimally invasive surgery includes conventional laparoscopic surgery and robotic laparoscopic surgery. To date, robotic laparoscopic surgery applied to cancer is still one of the most advanced techniques applied in surgical cancer treatment.
"With this technique, patients recover quickly after surgery, while still ensuring oncological safety, helping surgeons remove the maximum amount of cancerous lesions while preserving healthy tissue, minimizing trauma.
After surgery, combined with other treatment methods to help prolong the life of cancer patients as much as possible. This is the goal that must be strived for in the field of cancer treatment," Associate Professor Binh shared.
According to Associate Professor Binh, robotic surgery in liver cancer helps with meticulous dissection, good hemostasis, and safe control of the cutting surface in terms of oncology as well as hemostasis.
Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, indicated for early, intermediate, and even locally advanced stages, depending on the patient's condition and the location of the lesion. Today, surgeons can even perform robotic laparoscopic surgery to remove large tumors.
Associate Professor Binh also said that the cooperation between the hospital and Japanese experts is an important milestone, bringing robotic surgery to a more complete level. Vietnam has approached the region and the world, bringing the cancer treatment position of K Hospital to a new level.
