00:00:03.187 --> 00:00:07.715 
Ms. N. Te Quy, 89 years old in Ho Chi
Minh City, is in very weak condition 

00:00:07.715 --> 00:00:09.847 
after a period of fighting a malignant tumor. 

00:00:10.307 --> 00:00:13.503 
When he was first admitted to Binh Dan
Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, the 

00:00:13.503 --> 00:00:15.847 
patient weighed only 34 kg and could not walk by himself. 

00:00:16.327 --> 00:00:19.063 
The patient was scheduled for robotic
surgery, the tumor had spread to the 

00:00:19.063 --> 00:00:20.747 
right side along with the cancerous lymph nodes. 

00:00:21.209 --> 00:00:23.509 
When every minute I also find it a little tiring 

00:00:24.289 --> 00:00:26.849 
But gradually it subsided. 

00:00:28.629 --> 00:00:30.889 
Up to this moment I still remember well 

00:00:30.895 --> 00:00:35.940 
Her mother's condition before surgery
was that the tumor in her 

00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:37.315 
colon kept bleeding. 

00:00:37.775 --> 00:00:41.215 
So her mother has to get a
blood transfusion every 2 weeks. 

00:00:41.875 --> 00:00:46.126 
Just keep transfusing blood, transfusing
until you get to the hospital, then you 

00:00:46.126 --> 00:00:48.415 
still have to transfuse blood before surgery. 

00:00:48.735 --> 00:00:54.315 
My mother weighed 35kg, but when she
came here she was only 33kg. 

00:00:54.735 --> 00:00:58.642 
Besides, the time when we brought my
mother here to prepare for surgery, her 

00:00:58.642 --> 00:01:00.595 
legs were not strong enough to walk. 

00:01:00.595 --> 00:01:01.895 
Have to take the cart, push. 

00:01:14.197 --> 00:01:19.417 
In the case of the old lady, we used
robotic surgery to operate on her. 

00:01:19.417 --> 00:01:24.828 
And with the robot, the robot arms can
reach and rotate inside the 

00:01:24.828 --> 00:01:26.077 
old lady's abdomen. 

00:01:26.077 --> 00:01:29.197 
And helps to remove
the tumor more easily. 

00:01:29.197 --> 00:01:31.957 
Second, the nodes I get are quicker. 

00:01:31.957 --> 00:01:36.937 
Especially the thing that I rarely touch
other organs in the abdomen. 

00:01:36.937 --> 00:01:38.197 
Just take the right tumor 

00:01:38.197 --> 00:01:40.717 
Well that helps to restore it faster. 

00:01:40.717 --> 00:01:44.637 
And especially after the cut is done, we
re-establish the digestive tract circulation. 

00:01:44.637 --> 00:01:47.817 
That means we connect the
two remaining intestines together. 

00:01:47.817 --> 00:01:52.457 
And with robots, it helps to reassemble
and reconnect it more precisely. 

00:01:52.457 --> 00:01:56.397 
As well as the old lady will later
recover and defecate naturally. 

00:01:56.397 --> 00:01:58.257 
That is very good for the patient. 

00:01:58.645 --> 00:02:02.725 
Doctors note the need to screen for
colorectal cancer. This is one of the 

00:02:02.725 --> 00:02:04.765 
most common cancers in our country today. 

00:02:05.165 --> 00:02:09.051 
The age of onset of this disease usually
ranges from 40 to 60 years old, but 

00:02:09.051 --> 00:02:10.265 
the trend is getting younger.
