Doctor CKII Huynh Nhu Dong, Head of the Department of Neurosurgery, Tay Nguyen General Hospital, said that the unit had just successfully performed a cervical spine surgery, which was also covered by health insurance.

The patient is Mr. LVS, admitted to the hospital at 11:45 a.m. on January 3, 2024. The reason for hospitalization was due to being hit by a tree branch on the head and neck, causing severe numbness in both arms, so he was hospitalized for treatment. After a CT scan, MRI of the cervical spine, C4 fracture, and other complete clinical tests, the doctors held a consultation to schedule surgery for the patient.

On January 8, the patient underwent surgery for a fractured cervical spine C4, a torn anterior longitudinal ligament, and a ruptured nucleus pulposus C4 C5. The patient received an artificial disc replacement and a cervical spine brace with 4 screws. Two days after the surgery, the patient's health improved significantly, he was able to sit up and eat by himself, use his hands to lift the bowl, and use chopsticks to eat normally.

According to Dr. Huynh Nhu Dong, this is a difficult surgery, requiring experience and high technique, because if the neck area is not operated carefully, it will cause damage to the arteries and veins in the neck, leading to death. This is a new step forward, marking the development in the treatment of cervical spine diseases at the hospital, helping people to be assured of treatment, limiting travel and treatment costs during the transfer process.
