In Nghe An, after conducting tests and paraclinical tests, the doctors consulted and agreed that surgery was needed to remove the tumor.

Doctor Le Xuan Thu - Head of the Department of Dentistry - Maxillofacial - Eye, Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, who directly performed the surgery, said: "During the surgery, the tumor was thick and attached to the surrounding tissues, the tumor ran close to the jugular vein, so the dissection had to be very careful and encountered many difficulties. Meticulous preparation, full monitoring and comprehensive care combined with close coordination among the entire team were the prerequisites for the surgery to be successful."
