A large number of doctors and medical staff in the city and northern provinces attended the conference.
>View of the Workshop.
Through the Workshop, doctors and medical staff were updated by leading experts in the field on some advances in vertebral body reconstruction techniques with biocement, thereby improving their capacity to meet the treatment needs of the people of the city and the Northern provinces and cities, aiming to build Hai Phong city into a medical center of the Northern Coastal region.
Dr. Do Manh Thang - Director of Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital spoke at the Conference.
Vertebroplasty with biocement injection is a technique first developed in France since 1984, with the aim of inserting a amount of biocement into the collapsed vertebrae to reduce pain and stabilize the collapsed vertebrae. This technique is often indicated in cases of severe pain after spinal collapse that does not respond to medical treatment; severe pain due to metastatic cancer of the vertebral body, progressive spinal hemangioma causing pain; stabilize and strengthen the vertebral body before surgery to stabilize people with osteoporosis; Fracture of old vertebrae due to non-union injury...
Implementing the technique of vertebroplasty with biocement will help patients achieve long-term pain relief, strengthen broken vertebrae, allow patients to mobilize early (after 24 hours - 48 hours), help patients improve mental health, and can have a coordinated biopsy.
