Dr. Viet said: “We use the least invasive surgical method to reduce damage to the soft tissue system, help patients recover faster, have more beautiful surgical wounds and limit infection. Thanks to that, just 6 days after surgery, the patients gradually recovered well and were able to walk normally. Patients are learning to walk again, some with good health can even remove crutches when moving.”
