An advanced neurosurgical tumor procedure at Gia An 115 Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, highlights the importance of reliable instruments in delicate microsurgical applications. Throughout the entire procedure, the SuperGliss® non-stick bipolar forceps (Art. No. 780191SG) from Sutter Medizintechnik were used. Patient care was supported by the long-standing distribution partner DIGIMED Co., Ltd.
Complex Brain Tumor Surgery Demands the Highest Precision
Brain tumors located deep within the brain are among the most challenging conditions in neurosurgery. Their surgical treatment requires meticulous planning and safe microsurgical techniques, particularly when anatomically complex access routes must be used.
In the case described here, involving a 57-year-old patient, the tumor's location necessitated a cranial approach through the orbital bone. The tumor tissue was subsequently removed using microsurgical techniques under highly precise conditions.
Use of the SuperGliss® Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps Throughout the Entire Procedure
The surgery was performed by Pham Anh Tuan, MD, Head of Neurosurgery at Gia An 115 Hospital.
Throughout the entire procedure, the SuperGliss® non-stick bipolar forceps (Art. No. 780191SG) from Sutter Medizintechnik were used. The instrument was supplied by the local distribution partner DIGIMED Co., Ltd. and supported the surgical workflow for the full duration of the operation.
Bipolar instruments play a particularly important role in neurosurgical procedures, as they enable precise work within delicate anatomical structures and must meet the demanding requirements of microsurgical techniques.
Collaboration Between Hospital, Distribution Partner, and Manufacturer
This case highlights the close collaboration between clinical users, local distribution partners, and medical technology manufacturers.
Sutter Medizintechnik provided the SuperGliss® non-stick bipolar forceps used during the procedure. DIGIMED Co., Ltd. served as the local distribution partner and supported the clinical application on site. The neurosurgical expertise was contributed by the team at Gia An 115 Hospital, led by Dr. Pham Anh Tuan.
