The patient had a successful laparoscopic total gastrectomy with internal anastomosis. The doctor assessed this as a relatively complicated case that was effectively treated with endoscopic techniques.
Late regret for the habit of drinking alcohol every day
Mr. Dinh Van Th. (born 1967, hometown Quynh Vu - Thai Binh ) is a patient who has just had his entire stomach removed by laparoscopic surgery at K Hospital.
He said he himself has a habit of drinking alcohol, often drinking a lot. "I stay at home, every day after gardening I feel sad, so gradually it becomes a habit to stop drinking alcohol, every day I drink like that but it is more than a liter of alcohol, my wife and children also remind me but I subjectively think simply after drinking I lie down and rest..." Mr. Th. shared.
It was not until the stomach pain lasted for many days that his wife and children took him to the K Hospital for examination. The whole family was shocked when the doctor concluded that he had late-stage stomach cancer.
Associate Professor, Dr. Kim Van Vu, Head of the Department of Surgery, K Hospital, examines a patient.
After performing a gastroscopy, combined with a clinical examination, the patient and their family will be informed and thoroughly analyzed by the doctor about their current medical condition.
In the case of Mr. Dinh Van Th., doctor of the Department of Surgery of Quan Su 1, K Hospital, has proposed a treatment regimen, indicating total gastrectomy by laparoscopic method, performing complete internal anastomosis with radical lymph node dissection, then continuing to evaluate the treatment.
Realizing the urgency of the disease as well as the benefits of endoscopic surgery after being informed by the doctor, the patient and his family quickly agreed to perform the procedure to promptly control the disease.
Laparoscopic total gastrectomy with internal anastomosis: An effective treatment method for patients with late-stage cancer
In the case of patient Dinh Van Th., the main goal of the surgery was to remove the entire stomach to completely remove the lesion, ligate the blood vessels that supply the stomach and remove the lymph nodes, and at the same time safely connect the digestive tract using complete endoscopic technique.
Associate Professor, Dr. Kim Van Vu, Head of the Department of Surgery, K Hospital, shared about the advantages of this endoscopic surgery method, which is that it is equally effective in terms of radicality compared to conventional open surgery.
At K Hospital, laparoscopic gastrectomy can achieve negative margins and the number of lymph nodes is equivalent to open surgery, not inferior in terms of oncology.
Next, the most obvious advantage of this method is the ability to recover quickly: Patients have less pain after surgery, limited blood loss, lower risk of surgical site infection, shorter hospital stay, and patients can return to daily activities sooner.
"Regarding the ability to remove lymph nodes, endoscopic surgery can remove regional lymph nodes well, equivalent to open surgery for the appropriate stage of the disease, and can completely remove them while limiting dangerous complications for the patient," said Associate Professor, Dr. Kim Van Vu.
In the case of patient Dinh Van Th., laparoscopic total gastrectomy and internal anastomosis requires high experience and technique, handling of blood vessels close to the root and control of intra-abdominal bleeding.
These are complicated operations, but have been successfully applied routinely by doctors of the Department of Surgery at Quan Su 1, K Hospital, thus ensuring better surgery time for patients.
Thanks to laparoscopic surgery to remove the entire stomach and anastomose the inside, patient Th.'s health recovered well.
After surgery, the patient was assessed to have recovered well and was scheduled for adjuvant chemotherapy. After the successful surgery, Mr. Th. shared: "I think I was too subjective about my health when I drank alcohol so often. Only when I had to go to the hospital did I realize how important it is to maintain my health through daily living habits and cancer screening and examination. I hope everyone will raise awareness of regular medical examination and screening so that they can be proactive and receive more effective treatment."
Doctors at K Hospital also shared that regular health check-ups are always the best choice to prevent and detect cancer early.
Especially for digestive cancer in general, and stomach cancer in particular, screening endoscopy is also an effective method to detect abnormalities. With a system of modern machinery and equipment and a team of highly specialized doctors, K Hospital is always a reliable address for people to feel secure in examining, screening and treating tumors.
