This was the case of Ms. CY (58, Cambodian nationality). According to her medical file, she often suffered from deaf abdominal pain, but thought it was due to an unsuitable diet, and she therefore endured them in silence for more than a month. It was only when the pain has become more and more obvious that it decided to go to Vietnam for control.
At the International General Hospital in Saigon Sud (HCMC), thanks to the results of the paraclinical examination, doctors discovered a patient with a 4×5 cm tumor, suspected of being a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (also known as Gist-gastrointestinal stromal tumor).
Fortunately, the tumor was still at an early stage and had not invaded the surrounding organs. Doctor CKII Nguyen Trung Duong, deputy chief of the medical treatment department of the international hospital NAM SAI GON, has established an early surgical intervention plan, indicating an ablation of the gastric tumor for the patient after a complete evaluation.
This is the optimal method to completely eliminate the tumor while preserving the stomach structure.

During the operation, the team used a “stapler”, a modern device that allows you to cut and suture simultaneously, thus helping to shorten the time of the operation and minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
The tumor is removed with a specialist, then the cut area is reinforced with absorbable sutures, ensuring the waterproofing of the equipment and essentially the risk of postoperative leak.
The operation went without problem, in just 30 minutes. The tumor was fully withdrawn, the incision was clean, the breath was minimal and the surrounding healthy tissues were preserved as much as possible.
After the operation, Ms. Y. Malably, could eat and sleep, and had practically no difficulty in her daily activities. During follow -up, his health indicators remained stable. Ms. Y. was able to get out of the hospital after three days of treatment and a follow -up visit was scheduled.
Doctor Nguyen Trung Duong, information on information on the Internet, and explained that GIST is a rare digestive tumor, but that it can evolve silently over a long period. Symptoms of the disease are often blurred and can be easily confused with those of current digestive disorders such as deaf abdominal pain, bloating, a feeling of rapid satiety or prolonged fatigue.
Being subjective and hesitating to consult a doctor can lead to an increase in the size of the tumor, resulting in dangerous complications such as gastrointestinal depressions, a perforation of the stomach or metases.
“The case of patient Y. was discovered at the right time, the ideal moment for radical intervention without affecting the structure and function of the digestive system.
“Therefore, when there are unusual symptoms in the abdomen, patients should go to early examination for diagnosis and rapid treatment,” said Dr. Duong.
According to Dr. Duong, the main advantage of the technique of the stapler in the intervention on Gist tumors is that it allows the healthcare team to treat the tumor quickly, properly and with precision, while preserving healthy tissues. Thanks to this, patients recover faster, reduce less pain and considerably reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
With a team of experienced doctors and the application of many modern techniques, the Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital has become a reliable address in the treatment of complex digestive diseases, helping patients overcome surgery in all mail and to recover quickly, soon returning to daily life.
