Support Con Dao to perform planned endoscopic surgery

A new step forward for Con Dao's healthcare system, as the first planned surgeries were successfully performed at the Military-Civilian Medical Center.

Surgeons and anesthesiologists from Binh Dan Hospital, Trung Vuong Hospital, and Orthopedic Trauma Hospital prepare for surgery.

Doctors from Ho Chi Minh City who are rotating to Con Dao have just successfully performed two laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries on two female patients. Both cases were consulted online with Dr. Nguyen Phuc Minh, Head of the Digestive Surgery Department at Binh Dan Hospital.

These are the first scheduled surgeries performed at the Con Dao Military-Civilian Medical Center, opening up a new direction for the center's surgical specialty.

The two cases were performed by a team of doctors from many hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City. Both patients had a history of abdominal surgery, were diagnosed with gallstones and were indicated for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Thanks to careful consultation and preparation, the two surgeries were performed safely, without complications, with an average surgery time of 80 minutes, and the patients recovered well.

During the procedure, anesthesiologists had an online consultation with experts from Binh Dan Hospital and were supported with difficult endotracheal intubation tools to ensure anesthesia safety.

In the near future, doctors from Binh Dan Hospital will support the Military-Civilian Medical Center of Con Dao Special Zone to standardize anesthesia procedures and fully prepare for situations that may occur during surgery. From there, the quality of anesthesia and resuscitation for local medical centers will be gradually improved to reach the same quality as Binh Dan Hospital.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health acknowledged and highly appreciated the efforts of the second group of doctors who are rotating to work in Con Dao, along with the remote professional guidance of the leaders and surgical and anesthesia experts of Binh Dan Hospital.

Elective surgery (also known as planned surgery) is a technical term in the field of hospital management and surgical management used to distinguish it from emergency surgery, which is usually only performed in hospitals with surgical specialties.
