A team of surgeons from the University of New York on Nov. 2 presented endoscopic equipment, worth more than 2 billion VND, to the General Hospital of Central Highlands Dak Nong province.

The equipment utilizes fibre optics as an alternative to exploratory surgery, and can remove blockages, such as kidney stones, when found.

During their three-day stay at the hospital, Professors Zelikovsky, Hanchey and Kasmin are expected to provide free surgery to four or five patients at the hospital.

The team will show the hospital’s medical staff how to use endoscopic technology for prostate fibroma treatment.

Director of the hospital Nguyen Manh Cuong said that the team will coordinate with the hospital to provide humanitarian medical checks-up and operations as well as transfer modern treatment techniques to the hospital’s staff as of this year./.
