Vietnam for the first time introduces new surgery technique to the world
PANO - Prof., Dr. Le Ngoc Thanh, Director of Hospital E delivered his scientific report on total endoscopic atrial septal defect repair through the four-trocar technique with less than 1cm wide at the Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Conferences on March 11-14 in the United Kingdom.
This was the first time Dr. Thanh has introduced this technique to the world and the technique has been highly appreciated by over 1,000 doctors and scientists from all over the world, including those from the US, Ireland, Japan, and China.
The total endoscopic atrial septal defect repair technique is difficult, which only four centers in the United Kingdom can perform.
This technique has been proven to be feasible, safe and effective, and has advantages of less surgical trauma, early recovery and better cosmetic results.
Accordingly, Prof., Dr. Le Ngoc Thanh hoped that the technique would be applied more widely for the benefit of patients in the coming time.
