Successful surgery on "giant" cyst for 98-year-old woman

A rare surgery has just been successfully performed at the Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital. It was the case of a 98-year-old woman who had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst measuring up to 10x12 cm.

Doctors perform surgery on patients.

The large tumor caused him pain, compressed his internal organs, and seriously affected his health and quality of life. He had previously been consulted at several medical facilities, but his family was hesitant because of his old age and the potential risks of surgical intervention. However, when the tumor increased in pain and showed signs of progression, he was hospitalized in need of prompt treatment.

Doctors at the hospital consulted, made a thorough plan and performed the surgery urgently and accurately. After the surgery, the patient's health recovered quickly and he was discharged to the joy of his relatives.

Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease in all subjects (from teenage girls, women of reproductive age to the elderly). Ovarian cysts are mostly benign tumors. However, if the cyst grows large, it will affect the health, daily activities, quality of life and fertility of women.

Regular health check-ups play an important role in early detection and timely treatment, limiting dangerous complications.
