Medical facilities in Vietnam have reported several successful emergency pediatric surgeries involving severe trauma and internal injuries.

In Hanoi, surgeons at Viet Duc University Hospital utilized a “red alert” protocol to save a 6-year-old boy who had been impaled by a fence post after a 10-meter fall. Additionally, doctors performed microsurgery on a 26-month-old boy to repair facial nerve and soft tissue damage resulting from a domestic dog attack.

At Children's Hospital 2, medical teams treated a 10-year-old boy for a ruptured testicle caused by direct impact. Surgeons repaired a tear in the tunica albuginea to preserve function. Medical professionals noted that such internal injuries may lack obvious external signs like swelling or bruising, advising immediate care if pain increases following physical impact.
