On the morning of January 30, the Propaganda Department of Navy Region 4 announced that the medical staff on Sinh Ton Island had just received and treated a fisherman with a left inguinal hernia.
Previously, at around 12 noon on January 29 (the first day of the Lunar New Year), while fishing in the sea about 5 nautical miles from Sinh Ton Island, fisherman Huynh Van Du (50 years old, residing in Binh Dinh) was pulling fish when he discovered a tumor near the left groin of his body that gradually grew larger, became stiff, and was very painful.
This fisherman immediately rested but did not get better so he was taken to Sinh Ton Island for emergency treatment by fishermen on fishing boat KH 96543 TS.
After examination, Sinh Ton island's military doctors diagnosed this fisherman with a large left inguinal hernia and performed surgery to remove 1/3 of the omentum, pushing the rest back into the abdomen, and reconstructing the mixed abdominal wall.
After more than 3 hours of surgery, the surgery was successful. Currently, the fisherman is awake after surgery, his vital signs are stable, he has pain at the surgical site, there is little fluid seeping through the bandage, he urinates through a clear yellow catheter, and will continue to stay on the island for monitoring.
