Chiem Hoa Regional Medical Center: Successful surgery on facial tumor and plastic surgery for patient

The surgical team of Chiem Hoa Regional Medical Center performed surgery on patient Hoang Van L, born in 1982 - Lang Ren 2, Chiem Hoa commune.

According to Mr. L's family, more than 30 years ago, a tumor appeared on the left side of his face. At first, the tumor was as small as a bean, then it gradually grew larger, but in the past 2 years, the tumor has grown rapidly. Although it does not cause pain, it affects his daily life. On the other hand, the family is also very worried because they do not know if this tumor is malignant or benign, so they took him to the Chiem Hoa Regional Medical Center for examination.

After receiving the patient, the doctors of the Department of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery performed the necessary tests, facial soft tissue ultrasound, and MRI with contrast agent injection to assess the extent of tumor invasion, thereby suggesting a surgical method, and at the same time performed pathological anatomy to determine the nature of the tumor.

According to the doctors of the Center, who directly performed surgery on patient L, the surgical team had to be very careful during the surgery because the tumor was large and located in a location with many blood vessels and nerves. If not careful, it could cause facial paralysis, risk of bleeding during and after surgery, and affect the patient's appearance. After successfully removing the tumor, the surgical team continued to remove excess skin and perform cosmetic surgery on the removed tumor area. Currently, the patient is gradually recovering. It is expected that the patient will be discharged early next week.

Doctors at the Chiem Hoa Regional Medical Center also recommend: When an abnormal tumor is detected in the body, the patient should visit and consult a specialist. Based on factors such as location, size, severity of impact, and whether the tumor is infected or not, the doctors will come up with a suitable treatment plan to bring maximum treatment effectiveness to the patient. The patient should have the tumor removed as soon as possible when it has not caused complications and the tumor is still small.

If the patient is subjective and lets the tumor grow, it can lead to infection, ulcers and pus, and even cancer. At this time, removing the tumor will be quite complicated, time-consuming and have a higher risk of leaving bad scars.
