Accordingly, when patient VTKH (51 years old, Dien Khanh commune) came for a routine health check-up at Hospital 22-12, the doctor discovered that the patient had a malignant tumor in the sigmoid colon. After being examined, explained in detail and having a clear treatment plan made by the doctors, patient H. chose Hospital 22-12 to perform surgery. Here, the doctors performed laparoscopic surgery to remove the colon segment containing the tumor; at the same time, reconnecting the cut site to re-establish digestive circulation. In particular, because the tumor was small and difficult to identify, the team of doctors combined laparoscopic surgery and colonoscopy during the surgery, helping to accurately determine the location of the tumor. Thanks to that, the tumor was completely removed, the surrounding areas were preserved, and were not invaded. After surgery, patient H.'s health was stable.

Sigmoid colon cancer is a type of colon cancer. The disease often progresses silently with easily confused signs such as digestive disorders, dull pain in the lower abdomen, bloody stools or unexplained weight loss. As the tumor grows, it can cause intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding or invade neighboring organs, making treatment more complicated and the prognosis worse. If not operated on promptly, sigmoid colon cancer can lead to acute intestinal obstruction, colon perforation causing peritonitis, or liver and lung metastasis - dangerous complications that threaten the patient's life. Therefore, regular screening to detect abnormal symptoms early is an important key to effective treatment.
