Emergency surgery saves life in Truong Sa archipelago
An operation in Truong Sa Lon
island's clinic saved the life of a fisherman suffering from appendicitis.
An operation conducted by doctors of the Military Hospital 175 under the
Ministry of Defence and the public health clinic in Truong Sa Lon
island saved the life of a fisherman suffering from appendicitis.
Bui Hiep, aged 55, was admitted to the island’s clinic on October 6 with serious stomach pains that had persisted for four days due to an inflamed appendix.
An emergency operation was conducted by Huynh Thanh Binh, head of the island’s clinic, with the support from Senior Lieutenant Colonel and PhD Dr Trinh Van Thao, vice dean of the Department of Abdominal Surgery, and his team at the Military Hospital 175 on the mainland via telecomedical technology.
After two hours, the patient’s life was no longer in danger and he began recovering.
In recent years, telecomedical technology, which transcends geographical distances and brings medical expertise to remote communities, has helped the Military Hospital 175 connect with the clinic on Truong Sa Lon to perform complicated surgery and save countless lives of local residents.
On August 23, the telecomedical system supported another successful operation on the island.-VNA
