💟THE 11–13 WEEK SCAN: A VITAL YET OFTEN OVERLOOKED STAGE OF PREGNANCY ⚠️

💟 Many expectant mothers think: “If I’ve already had an early scan, the 11–13 week one isn’t that necessary…”. At the “Tea Talks with Doctors” programme held on 21st March 2026 at Café De Paris (Indochine Lobby, FV Hospital), Dr Ngo Trung Nam (Specialist Level II) from FV Thomson Maternity shared: "The first-trimester scan is more than just ‘seeing your baby’.

💟It is a key time for doctors to begin spotting any early risks or abnormalities and to provide the right guidance for your pregnancy right from the beginning."

💟During this stage, the nuchal translucency (NT) measurement is often what worries parents the most. However, the NT result is only a screening tool, not a final diagnosis. What matters most is how the doctor looks at the ‘big picture’ - combining the scan with the mother’s age and other tests - to provide the most accurate follow-up plan.

💡 Is NIPT really necessary for every expectant mother?
More tests don't always mean more peace of mind. At FV Thomson Maternity, our specialists focus on:
✔ Personalised risk assessment
✔ Personalised testing advice
✔ Avoiding any unnecessary interventions

💟 It’s not just about the pregnancy, Our “Tea Talks with Doctors” also looks ahead to your baby’s first days. Parents received a live demonstration on newborn bathing and umbilical cord care from Midwife Phan Thi Ngoc Hang (FV Thomson Maternity).

👉 DEEP INSPIRATION BREATH HOLD (DIBH) HELPS REDUCE HEART EXPOSURE IN BREAST CANCER RADIOTHERAPY

👉 In breast cancer radiotherapy (especially for left-sided tumors), the heart is located very close to the treatment area, making potential heart complications a major concern for many patients.

👉 At FV Hospital, the Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) technique is routinely used and has proven highly effective:
✅ 84% of patients reduce radiation exposure to the heart
✅ Many cases see a 14 - 30% reduction in cardiac complication risks

👉 The effectiveness of DIBH depends heavily on close coordination between the patient and the care team, including oncologists, radiation therapists, and medical physicists.

👉 After nearly 7 years of implementation, FV has developed a structured, personalized protocol for each patient, ensuring breathing patterns and lung volumes are precisely monitored. Not a new technology, but DIBH has become a key standard for safer, more precise radiotherapy every day.

Radiation therapy is a crucial “weapon” in cancer treatment; however, while it effectively destroys tumors, a major concern for many patients, especially breast cancer patients, lies in the risk of affecting the heart and surrounding healthy organs. At FV Hospital, the ‘deep breath-holding’ ...

👨‍⚕️ PHAN VAN THAI, MD, MSC, SPECIALIST LEVEL II – ADVANCING SURGERY IN GASTRIC, COLORECTAL, AND HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC CANCERS WITH THE DA VINCI XI

👨‍⚕️ The combination of Dr Phan Van Thai’s over 20 years of experience in general surgery and one of the world’s most advanced robotic surgical systems enables new advances in the treatment of cancer and complex gastrointestinal diseases.
Dr Thai shares: “Conventional laparoscopic surgery uses straight instruments, but the human body has deep and narrow ‘corners’ that are difficult to access with such tools. The da Vinci Xi overcomes this limitation with articulated instruments that can bend and rotate with exceptional flexibility, far beyond the capability of the human wrist.”

🛡️ With exceptional dexterity and tremor filtration, the robotic arms can access hard-to-reach areas such as the deep re**um, pancreas, and spleen, enabling precise surgical manoeuvres. The high-definition 3D imaging system allows surgeons to clearly visualise even the smallest blood vessels and nerve fibres. This is especially crucial in cancer surgery, where precise tumour dissection and thorough lymph node removal can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

🎁 SPECIAL OFFER (*): FV is offering a support package worth VND 40 million for 50 da Vinci Xi robotic surgeries, valid until 15 June 2026.

Using advanced microsurgical techniques, his focus is on restoring meaningful hand function - not only improving appearance.

Not all conditions are straightforward to treat. In more complex cases, outcomes depend on the right expertise, the right technique and the right timing. This is why many families have been awaiting for Dr Stéphane Guero.

✨ What makes this opportunity exceptional?
• One of the few international specialists capable of treating complex congenital hand deformities
• Surgical approaches focused on restoring functional use of the hand in daily life
• Proven outcomes from previous missions in Vietnam, bringing meaningful improvements for children
