VTV.vn - Vietnam has successfully performed its first endoscopic surgery for breast fibroid.

This method, which was performed by doctors at the National Hospital of Endocrinology, is considered superior to open surgery. It's been one week since the surgery, and the health of the 22-year-old patient has recovered well. The incision, which is small and in good shape, will disappear after 1-2 months.

Previously, the patient was hospitalized after two tumors were detected in the right breast. After consultation, experts decided to use the new method to remove the fibroid. This method is applicable to patients with small non-metastatic tumors that have spread but have not deeply infiltrated. This method is especially optimal for patients who need a breast prosthesis implant after surgery.
