No Better Way to Celebrate A Birthday

2014/07/03



Dr. Duong, a NCF Seed Medical Practitioner from Vietnam, celebrated his birthday last Friday. Dr. Duong excitedly shared with NCF what he did for the birthday celebration which may bring you to tears

“Today, I celebrated my birthday by doing an interesting case. The 11 year - old patient had a contracted scar on her right upper lip. I did the reconstructive surgery with ABBE Flaps technique (A lip switch technique in which a defect of the upper lip is repaired with tissue borrowed from the lower lip). 

This was my first time using the ABBE technique but the result was quite good. I am very happy. Someone said the patient should say thanks to me but I think the other way. I am the one who should say thanks. My patient trusts me and allows me to perform surgery on her body. That is indeed a gift.”
