Emergency treatment for a patient with multiple injuries caused by a buffalo attack.

(Baonghean.vn) - Today, Mr. Nguyen Van Muoi, a patient from Quynh Tam, Quynh Luu, who suffered multiple injuries after being gored by a buffalo, is receiving intensive treatment at the Provincial Friendship General Hospital.

Previously, on July 19th, Nghe An General Hospital received patient Nguyen Van Muoi (Quynh Tam, Quynh Luu) in critical condition with shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, pale mucous membranes, and a large 5 cm tear in the anus caused by being gored by a domestic buffalo, which sent him flying and then falling to the ground, resulting in serious injuries.

Mr. Nguyen Van Muoi is currently receiving intensive treatment at the Provincial Friendship General Hospital.

Despite receiving first aid at the commune health station, the patient's anal wound continued to bleed. Recognizing the critical situation and the possibility of the patient's condition worsening due to hemorrhagic shock, the surgical team from the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department immediately performed emergency surgery.

Dr. Dinh Van Chien, the surgeon who performed the emergency operation, stated: “Upon admission, patient Nguyen Van Muoi had a large tear in the anus and rectum, penetrating into the abdominal cavity. The buffalo goring caused contusion of the anterior bladder wall and swelling of the perineum. The closed wounds in the anus caused continuous bleeding that could not be stopped without emergency surgery. The on-call team quickly proceeded to reconstruct the anal sphincter and rectal canal; debride and treat the wounds in the pelvic region to control bleeding; and simultaneously opened the abdomen to irrigate the abdominal cavity and create a temporary colostomy to assist the patient with excretion.”

After a three-hour surgery, patient Nguyen Van Muoi had his bleeding stopped, his wounds treated, and is currently receiving post-operative care from medical staff.

It is expected that it will take another three months for patient Nguyen Van Muoi's anal wound to regain its function.
