High-risk obstetric surgeries in Vietnam

Overview

Medical teams in Vietnam have successfully managed several high-risk obstetric cases involving complex physiological challenges.

In late September 2026, doctors performed a high-risk cesarean section on a pregnant woman weighing 130kg who was suffering from severe preeclampsia. The procedure required spinal anesthesia and endotracheal intubation to manage risks associated with obesity and high blood pressure. The surgery resulted in the birth of a 2,550g baby boy.

Shortly thereafter, the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology successfully delivered a baby via cesarean section for a 26-year-old patient with achondroplasia. Due to the patient’s small pelvic structure and limited thoracic volume, the pregnancy posed significant risks of respiratory failure and difficult anesthesia. The procedure resulted in the safe birth of a 2.7kg baby girl, though medical experts noted the child will require ongoing genetic monitoring.
