General health check-up, detected abnormal tumor in kidney

Patient PTC (64 years old, in Vinh Long) went for a general health check-up at a private clinic. Through ultrasound, the doctor discovered an abnormal tumor in the left kidney.

Worried about the results, patient C. continued to go to another medical facility for re-examination and the same results were recorded.

After that, the patient decided to go to Xuyen A General Hospital Vinh Long for in-depth examination and treatment. Here, the doctors conducted a thorough examination and prescribed the necessary paraclinical tests. The results of 160-slice CT scan of the abdomen and chest and Doppler ultrasound of the renal artery showed that the patient had a large tumor in the left kidney.

On November 19, specialist doctor Chung Y Nhat Minh, Department of Urology, Xuyen A General Hospital Vinh Long said that the tumor in patient C. is large in size, has a complex location, and has the potential to invade and compress neighboring structures. If the open surgery method is chosen to remove the entire kidney, the patient may face the risk of post-operative complications and severe renal dysfunction.

To ensure maximum safety, doctors from the departments of Urology - Oncology - Cardiology - Respiratory Medicine - Anesthesia and Resuscitation consulted and agreed on the optimal surgical plan for the patient.

Doctors determined that the tumor was large and in a complicated location.

Kidney tumor weighing 50 grams

After the patient's health and spirit were stabilized, surgery was performed. The surgery lasted nearly 7 hours, under the coordination of the surgical team and anesthesia. The doctors performed laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the left kidney, removing the entire tumor, while preserving as much of the patient's healthy left kidney as possible. The removed tumor was about 8 cm in size and weighed 50 grams.

After surgery, the patient recovered positively, the surgical wound was dry and healed well, vital signs were stable and he was discharged from the hospital in good health.

According to Dr. Minh, patients with kidney tumors, if detected early and treated with appropriate techniques, can completely recover quickly and return to a healthy life. Therefore, everyone needs to have regular health check-ups, and when there are any unusual signs of the body, they should go for a thorough examination for screening.
