Successful robotic surgery for patients with liver cancer and gastrointestinal cancer

On February 21, information from K Hospital said that from February 19-21, the hospital's team of doctors coordinated with experts from Nagoya University Hospital, Japan, to successfully perform surgery using modern robots for 3 cancer patients, including one patient with liver cancer and 2 patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

Specifically, the liver cancer patient who underwent surgery on the morning of February 21 was a 67-year-old female patient. After examination and testing and imaging, the patient was diagnosed with a liver tumor measuring 4x5 cm, located in the lower lobe II.

After consultation, the team of doctors determined that the patient met the conditions to be able to perform laparoscopic surgery using robots. As a result, the patient underwent surgery to resect the liver segment II. After surgery, the patient was stable.

Another case that also had successful robotic surgery on February 20 was a 66-year-old female patient with a healthy medical history. The patient was diagnosed with stage 3 gastric cancer. She had good general health and liver and kidney function, and was suitable for robotic laparoscopic surgery. The patient had almost her entire stomach removed and lymph nodes removed.

The third case is a 67-year-old female patient who has had bloody stools for the past month, poor appetite and sleep, and weight loss. Endoscopy revealed a 3x3.5cm tumor 4cm from the anus, occupying nearly half the intestinal circumference. Doctors diagnosed her with low rectal cancer.

All 3 patients had successful surgery, are currently in stable health, and are being monitored and treated at the hospital.

Previously, in January 2024, within the framework of the scientific workshop "What can be done better for patients with digestive cancer: from advanced laparoscopic surgery to robotic surgery", the team of doctors from K Hospital in collaboration with experts from the Robotic Surgery Center, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, also successfully performed surgery using modern robots for 2 patients with stomach cancer and rectal cancer.

According to doctors, robotic surgery is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical method at the highest level, helping patients minimize damage and recover quickly after surgery.

" The application of many modern techniques in cancer treatment has brought positive signals to patients and their families, giving patients more hope and determination to comply with treatment regimens ," experts emphasized.
