This is a difficult case since the conventional method such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and open surgery could not fully remove gallstones. This procedure took approximately 2 hours. The patient had all gallstones removed from the liver.

According to Prof. Hiep, this is a modern technique that was first deployed in the Central region and Central Highlands, this procedure is minimally invasive, bringing few sequels to the patient, leaving no scars on the skin, fully removing gallstones. As the recovery time was fast, after 12 hours, the patient would be able to sit and had a light meal and was expected to be discharged the next day.

Previously, on October 6, 2022, Patient T. had symptoms of fever, right upper quadrant pain, jaundice then she was hospitalized with a diagnosis of intrahepatic cholelithiasis.
