Quang Yen Regional General Hospital treats advanced pterygium

Quang Yen Regional General Hospital has successfully performed surgeries on several patients suffering from advanced pterygium (stages III–IV). These cases involved elderly patients with complex underlying health conditions, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and gastric ulcers.

Medical professionals noted that some patients required extra caution due to histories of coronary stent placement and the use of anticoagulant medications. Doctors emphasized that for elderly patients with comorbidities, a thorough systemic evaluation is essential before surgical intervention to ensure safety and manage risks related to cardiovascular health and blood clotting.
