SUCCESSFUL SURGERY OF A 5-KG UTERINE FIBROID

On October 15, 2024, doctors at Tam Tri Da Nang Hospital successfully performed surgery on a female patient with a giant uterine fibroid weighing up to 5 kilograms—a rare case that posed significant health risks if not treated promptly.

The tumor had developed silently over a long period, causing abnormal abdominal enlargement, persistent pain, menstrual disorders, and serious impacts on the patient’s overall health. The surgery required a high level of expertise and close coordination among the medical team and was carried out safely. The patient is currently recovering well and in stable condition.
