Vinmec Can Tho successfully performed laparoscopic surgery on a large, complex uterine tumor

The tumor spread, threatening the patient's health.

Ms. C. (51 years old, residing in Can Tho ) came to Vinmec Can Tho General Hospital for examination in a state of tension in the lower abdomen, dull pain lasting for many months. The examination results showed a large tumor in the lower abdomen, spreading horizontally to the navel, a combination of multiple uterine fibroids. and large ovarian cysts – a complex condition with a high risk of compressing the bladder, intestines and ureters, causing dangerous complications if not intervened promptly.

After multidisciplinary consultation, the patient was indicated for total hysterectomy, with the goal of completely removing the tumor and maximally preserving the function of surrounding organs.

The endoscopic surgery was performed by a team from Vinmec Can Tho and experts from Ho Chi Minh City, safely removing a large tumor with minimal invasion.

Despite the large and widespread tumor, the surgery was completely handled by the surgical team in just over 1 hour, using modern endoscopic methods. The surgery was performed directly by Dr. Nguyen Chi Quang - Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Vinmec Central Park (HCMC). With a system of diagnostic support facilities, providing sharp magnified images, an advanced surgical knife system and the smooth coordination of the entire team, the tumor was accurately removed without causing damage to neighboring organs, without much blood loss and without leaving any post-operative complications.

“Laparoscopy is now not only an alternative to traditional open surgery, but has become the new standard of treatment for complex gynecological diseases. For patients with large tumors and many adhesions, laparoscopy helps to thoroughly treat them while still ensuring safety, less pain and quick recovery,” Dr. Quang shared.

After surgery, the patient was closely monitored in a standard sterile environment, recovered well and was discharged in a short time in stable condition.

Vinmec - Companion in taking care of women's health in the West

According to statistics, up to 20-40% of women of reproductive age infected Uterine fibroids - a benign disease but can cause serious complications if it develops silently. Many cases are detected late when the tumor is large, causing menorrhagia, anemia, prolonged abdominal pain or affecting fertility.

The patient recovered well after surgery, was cared for in a standard environment, and did not need to be transferred to a higher level hospital.

However, fear of open surgery, pain, or long recovery time still causes many women to delay treatment, making the disease progress more severely.

In that context, the strong development of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery techniques at Vinmec Can Tho provides a safer and more aesthetic treatment solution, helping people in the West access high-quality medical services right at home, without having to transfer to a distant hospital.

The success of patient C.'s surgery once again affirms the position of Vinmec Can Tho - a medical center specializing in obstetrics and gynecology and modern gynecological endoscopic surgery. At the same time, it demonstrates the ability to coordinate between hospitals and make the most of the professional strengths in the Vinmec system nationwide.

With a team of experienced doctors, modern equipment and a personalized care model, Vinmec Can Tho not only treats diseases, but also helps women raise awareness and proactively protect their reproductive and endocrine health - which are the "silent burdens" of millions of Vietnamese women.
