Summary
A routine health checkup revealed a large kidney tumor (over 5cm) in an Australian patient under 50 at FV Hospital. Dr. Do Quang Minh, Head of Urology & Andrology, noted the tumor's complexity due to deep embedding in renal parenchyma and contact with renal pelvis/calyces. The patient underwent robotic surgery to remove the tumor and experienced a remarkably quick recovery with almost no pain, eating and living normally soon after the procedure.
