13 years ago, Assoc.The 30 -second video on one -hole endoscopic technique in the treatment of Chinese bile duct cysts shocked the world medicine world, because at that time, the most modern technique was 4 -hole endoscopic surgery.With a one -hole endoscopic technique, the doctor performs a single incision of 2 cm, the tool works through one entrance, the post -surgery process is fast, the risk of complications.
The health sector in the world, Vietnam can go back about technology due to difficult economic conditions, but the hands and brains of Vietnamese doctor are not inferior to advanced countries.Assoc.Prof.Dr."If done, this will be a new step for laparoscopic surgery in Vietnam", he said.
Doctors perform laparoscopic surgery a holes of bile duct cysts for children.
No documents, no support model, only a video of only 30 seconds, but after 6 months of research, Dr. Son and colleagues of the National Hospital of Pediatrics conducted an endoscopy surgery in children.Em.
Difficulties from the start step.Two endoscopic tools "kick each other" in an incision only 2 cm long.Along with that, two hands placed parallel when surgery limit the activity of the doctor.
“Endoscopic surgery, the doctors must pump CO2 gas into the abdomen, making the abdominal cavity stretch to control the tools easier.Tools collapse together causing abdominal cavity openness.Only short time after the tools penetrate, the patient's abdomen collapsed so 15 minutes to stitch a nose ”Doctor Son said.
In this moment, Dr. Son was very impatient, frustrated, wanted to change surgery techniques to 4 holes to ensure safety for children.However, with the desire to "operate like no surgery", no scars, few complications, Dr. Son and the team calmly fix step by step, entangled somewhere.
When the tools bumped into each other, stuck, he changed the corner of the device, even changing the way to approach the organs.With open gas condition, the doctor sought to rearrange the position of the suction baton, combined with the open hole.
The first surgery ended after 6 hours, nearly twice as long as the endoscopic surgery, but after the surgery, the health of the patient progressed rapidly, the superior recovery speed.

From the surprise of the first surgery, Dr. Son continued to complete the laparoscopic surgery process, suitable for the Vietnamese body.The path of conquering an endoscopy technique is optimized by Dr. Son with 3 factors: Suitable for equipment conditions in Vietnam, the lowest reduction of treatment costs for patients to have the opportunity to accessMost, and finally, the easiest to transfer and replicate.
Up to now, Vietnam has become one of the two countries in the world successfully implementing this technique.300 patients have been operated by one tube endoscopy technique.The implementation time is shortened from 6 hours to 3 hours per shift.Every year, Saint Paul General Hospital receives many cases of overseas Vietnamese and foreign patients who come to surgery with this super difficult technique.
Assoc.In 2002 he returned home, working at the National Hospital of Pediatrics and then transferred to Saint Paul General Hospital in 2016.
Assoc.As the author, co -author of more than 100 research works, prestigious scientific articles in Vietnam and internationally.
