University Medical Center surgical procedures

Overview

Medical teams at the University Medical Center have successfully performed complex surgeries using advanced techniques to treat critical conditions.

In a cardiovascular procedure led by Professor Le Ngoc Thanh, surgeons treated a 50-year-old patient with severe aortic valve stenosis and extensive calcification. The team utilized a two-stage strategy, first implanting a permanent pacemaker to stabilize the patient’s heart rhythm before performing open-heart surgery to replace the valve and remove calcified tissue.

Additionally, surgeons at the Linh Dam facility employed single-port endoscopic surgery to address spinal issues such as spondylolisthesis and herniated discs. This minimally invasive approach is intended to remove spinal lesions while facilitating faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
