Endoscopic surgery in treatment brings outstanding results for patients

Gastrointestinal and urinary tract diseases tend to be younger.

With the increasing pressure of life, the majority of people today have the habit of being sedentary, often skipping meals, eating foods lacking in nutrients, abusing stimulants... This unscientific lifestyle causes the number of people suffering from digestive and urinary diseases, especially malignant diseases, to increase and tend to be younger.

Diseases of the digestive tract, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and urinary tract often develop silently, including cancer in the early stages. Therefore, if you do not have regular health screenings, you may discover the disease at a late stage, making treatment difficult and significantly reducing the chance of recovery.

Every day, hundreds of people come to visit and examine diseases related to digestion, liver - gallbladder - pancreas, kidney, and urinary tract at Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital.

Applying endoscopic method in treating digestive diseases of liver - bile - pancreas, urinary tract brings high efficiency

Laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of digestive diseases of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and urinary tract is a highly effective method.

The case of Ms. T., 37 years old, in Ho Chi Minh City, recently treated by doctors of the General Surgery Department at Nam Saigon International General Hospital (Nam Saigon International General Hospital ) is a typical example showing that even young people can still suffer from dangerous diseases of the digestive tract.

Ms. T. came to Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital for examination with symptoms of epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting after eating for a long time. This condition continued to make her unable to eat normally, leading to physical weakness. After performing a gastrointestinal endoscopy, stomach X-ray and abdominal CT scan, the doctors concluded that Ms. T. had a submucosal tumor in the pyloric canal that blocked the flow of food and gastric juice. At the same time, she was also positive for HP bacteria that causes gastric and duodenal ulcers.

After just over 2 hours of laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the stomach, the hospital's General Surgery team successfully removed the lesion, and the remaining stomach was connected to the first part of the patient's small intestine. The laparoscopic surgery method with a small, minimally invasive incision helps patients reduce pain and recover faster than normal. Therefore, Ms. T. was able to leave the hospital just one week after the surgery and soon return to her normal life.

Doctor. CKI Nguyen Trung Duong - Deputy Head of General Surgery Department - Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital.

In addition to applying endoscopic surgery in the treatment of digestive, liver - gall - pancreas, kidney and urinary diseases, Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital is also one of the few medical units that can master advanced and complex surgical techniques such as: urethral and bladder reconstruction surgery; cystectomy and bladder reconstruction using intestine; ureteral and kidney stone lithotripsy outside the body", Dr. CKII Le Van Hieu Nhan - Head of General Surgery Department - Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital shared more.

Along with the efforts of the hospital's team of doctors and experts in updating advanced surgical methods of world medicine, the Department of General Surgery has also invested in a system of modern equipment for treatment such as: laparoscope, intestinal cutting and anastomosis machine, Longo hemorrhoid cutting instrument, urological endoscope, laser lithotripsy machine, prostate cutting and cauterization machine to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of digestive and urinary diseases. Notably, Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital also receives professional support from leading doctors at Cho Ray Hospital in consulting, diagnosing and treating diseases, especially for severe cases (Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital is a unit that reduces the load and receives professional support from Cho Ray Hospital).
