Ms. NN, 24 years old, was expected to have thyroid cancer that had migrated to the neck lymph nodes after a regular health check. When she heard the news, she was very worried and did not know what to do. However, with the dedication and high expertise of the doctor, Ms. N. trusted and chose to be treated at Vinmec Nha Trang Hospital.
Ms. N's case is a special one. Although she has no symptoms yet, the tumor has metastasized to the lymph nodes on both sides of her neck, with many large lymph nodes attached to important blood vessels and nerve structures. At Vinmec Nha Trang Hospital, doctors applied the modern 1975 CT scan system to determine the location of the tumor and its remains, thereby planning the best strategy and tactics for her.
After consulting with leading experts in the Vinmec system, the patient underwent surgery to remove the entire thyroid gland, as well as remove all metastatic lymph nodes in the right neck area and metastatic lymph nodes in the anterior neck area on both sides.
After surgery, the entire right thyroid lobe tumor along with 28 neck lymph nodes was completely removed. The patient had a careful ultrasound examination during surgery by a thyroid ultrasound specialist to ensure that the tumor and metastatic lymph nodes had been completely removed.
This is a difficult surgery, requiring high expertise, ensuring complete removal of the tumor and metastatic lymph nodes while avoiding damage to important nerve and blood vessel structures in the neck area. The surgery was performed successfully and very safely thanks to the modern techniques and meticulousness and professionalism of Dr. Tuan and the surgical team at Vinmec Nha Trang Hospital. After surgery, the patient recovered quickly and there was no evidence of variation.
