Cua Dong General Hospital: Performing high-efficiency techniques with modern ultrasonic scalpel system

High precision, minimizing damage during surgery

Mr. Nguyen Van D. (35 years old, Nghi Loc) had dull lower abdominal pain, digestive disorders, recently the pain increased, and difficulty defecating. Mr. D. was examined by specialists in Surgery - Cua Dong General Hospital, diagnosed with rectal cancer and had laparoscopic rectal resection surgery performed by doctors using the modern Harmonic Scaple ultrasonic scalpel system. Mr. D. said: "My family and I chose to have surgery at Cua Dong General Hospital because we trust the expertise and modern medical equipment and machinery here. After only 1 hour of surgery, with little pain, my health is now stable and my digestion is good."

According toMaster, Doctor Thai Doan Cong - Head of Surgery Department, Deputy Director of Cua Dong General Hospital,The ultrasonic scalpel device (Harmonic Scapel) has recently been effectively applied in many important medical fields: general surgery, digestive, urology, gynecology, thoracic...

Harmonic Ultrasonic Technology is the leading technology in the use of advanced energy today. Using modern ultrasonic energy, no electric current passes through the patient, eliminating the problems caused by monopolar electrosurgery in conventional surgical knives; Minimizing heat damage spreading to both sides (<1mm) - allowing cutting and hemostasis with high precision, especially necessary near important structures and organs, less smoke, less stickiness.

Ultrasonic scalpel is a cutting tool used in surgery that simultaneously cuts and coagulates tissue. In particular, the device can penetrate thicker tissue layers, stop bleeding better, produce less toxic fumes, and cut more precisely than conventional surgical knives.

As a multifunctional instrument, in addition to cutting and hemostasis, the ultrasonic scalpel can be used to dissect, clamp, cut back in avascular tissue, and punch holes to create holes.

With the above features, the ultrasonic scalpel systemHarmonic Scaleis considered to have many outstanding advantages: reduced bleeding, less pain, reduced surgery time, less tissue damage, better post-operative recovery and gentler post-operative care.

Focus on investing in advanced medical technology equipment

By investing in synchronous modern equipment, ensuring international standards in parallel with improving the quality of the team and always being at the forefront in applying the world's advanced medical technology, Cua Dong General Hospital aims tomeet the needs of specialized medical examination and treatment for people.
