1st laparoscopy anterior cervical disc herniation operation
VTV.vn - Vietnam has become the first country in Southeast Asia to use laparoscopy to treat anterior cervical disc herniation.

This is a modern technique that helps patients recover quickly. The first surgery was carried out on Thursday morning at the Vietnam-German Hospital in Hanoi. The surgery took only 30 minutes including for anaes’thesia. After 6 hours the patient could move his arms and was conscious.

This technique is minimally invasive and has an over 90% possibility of success, and studies show there is a low risk of recurrence. Patients can fully recover within a week of surgery.
