At the thematic workshop "Comprehensive Solutions in Spinal Surgery" held on May 6th, organized by the Vietnam Spinal Surgery Association and Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, Dr. Duong Duc Hung, Director of Viet Duc Friendship Hospital – a leading surgical unit in the country – stated that spinal diseases are becoming a serious health problem, directly affecting the quality of life, work capacity, and daily activities of millions of people.

Conditions such as multi-level spinal degeneration, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis not only cause prolonged pain but also pose many dangerous complications if not diagnosed and treated promptly.

Currently, in addition to spinal injuries sustained during work, there are many other spinal conditions such as kyphosis and scoliosis, especially in children.

Currently, there are many spinal disorders, not only spinal injuries sustained during work, but also other spinal conditions such as kyphosis and scoliosis, especially in children. This means that spinal disorders in adults and children are very different, and even each individual patient may have a different spinal condition.

"Spinal disorders come in many forms and types, at different stages, and no two patients are alike. Therefore, a comprehensive solution is needed, tailored to each individual patient, each stage of the disease, and each specific condition," Mr. Duong Duc Hung emphasized.

Therefore, at the conference, many domestic and international experts updated on advanced treatment trends regarding the application of high technology in spinal surgery. in spinal surgery.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Dinh Ngoc Son, Head of the Spinal Surgery Department at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, the highlight of this conference is updating trends in the application of surgical robots, navigation systems, O-arm, and neurosurgical monitoring.

These three cutting-edge technologies enhance surgical accuracy, minimize the risk of complications, and optimize treatment outcomes and patient recovery.

The live surgical demonstrations at the workshop also helped doctors from both within and outside the country observe the actual procedures and share clinical experiences in a vivid and effective way.

Dr. Vidyadhara, Head of Spinal Surgery at Manipal Hospital, India, also shared his experience with robotics in spinal surgery. He believes that the application of robots in treating spinal diseases helps to significantly improve treatment effectiveness.

In particular, robotic surgery is more efficient in screw placement, reduces the risk of nerve damage, and avoids complications for patients. Another very important benefit is that after surgery, patients experience less pain, less blood loss, faster recovery, fewer complications, and reduced treatment costs.

The workshop is expected to be a significant step forward, marking Vietnam's mastery of advanced techniques in spinal surgery and ushering in a new era in the treatment of spinal diseases with comprehensive and modern solutions.

Currently, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital has plans to add more robotic systems and microsurgical microscopes to support its doctors with modern equipment for surgery, resulting in greater accuracy and better outcomes for patients.

Experts also advise that not all spinal conditions require surgery. Many conditions develop at different stages and may only require rehabilitation exercises and orthotics. Surgery should only be considered when all conservative treatments are no longer effective.
