AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL (AIH) SPECIALIZES IN TREATING COMPLEX NEUROLOGICAL AND SPINAL CONDITIONS
The Neurosurgery and Spine Unit at American International Hospital (AIH) specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, and spine, especially surgical interventions. The unit is a pioneer in applying the latest advanced techniques such as microsurgery - minimally invasive, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), and endoscopic techniques... along with 3D imaging technology, Navigation positioning system, providing safe and effective treatment solutions for patients.
Statistics show that the incidence of neurological and spinal diseases is increasing with age, particularly in the 30-60 age group. Notably, conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and cervical osteoarthritis… tend to affect younger people, prevalent among office workers and those with a sedentary lifestyle. At the same time, complex pathologies such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, brain tumors, strokes, and peripheral neuropathies have also shown a marked increase in recent years.
These pathologies seriously affect the mobility and quality of life of patients, potentially leading to complications such as chronic pain, reduced motor function, reduced independence, and even lifelong disability if not detected early and treated promptly.
A typical case is that of patient J.H (53 years old), she had to live with agonizing pain radiating from her back down her legs for many years, difficulty walking, having to move with crutches, and had undergone many treatments domestically and internationally but had not found the root cause of the illness. The patient visited Neurosurgery and Spine Unit, American International Hospital (AIH) was diagnosed with spinal stenosis - intervertebral foramen at the L3-4 and L4-5 vertebrae, causing nerve root compression.
With over 20 years of experience in the neurosurgery and spine field, 1st-degree scpecialist, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung – Head of the Neurosurgery and Spine Unit at AIH, indicates intervention using the biportal endoscopy (UBE - Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy) - one of the outstanding advances in minimally invasive spine surgery today. This method not only allows the doctor to intervene accurately but also significantly reduces the degree of damage, less pain after surgery, and faster recovery time compared to conventional surgery.
Bringing together a team of leading experts with advanced treatment techniques
Aiming to become a top leading specialty, the Neurosurgery and Spine Unit at AIH receives significant investment, gathers a team of top specialists, and is equipped with advanced technologies.
American International Hospital (AIH) is currently one of the vanguard medical facilities applying modern techniques such as microsurgery - minimally invasive, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) and endoscopy techniques... along with leading equipment such as microsurgical microscopes, endoscopy systems, 3D imaging technology, Navigation positioning systems, helping to bring accuracy to surgeries, minimize invasiveness, maximize preservation of anatomical structures, reduce pain, shorten hospital stay and speed up recovery for patients.
According to 1st-degree specialist, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Head of the Department of Neurosurgery and Spine at AIH, thanks to the outstanding advancements in technology and intervention techniques, has brought about a major breakthrough in the treatment of complex spinal-neurological diseases. Furthermore, treatment of the brain - central nervous system is one of the strengths of the American International Hospital (AIH), such as traumatic brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebrovascular accident, brain tumor, and myeloma…
With in-depth expertise in the field of Neurosurgery and Spine and trained in Vietnam, France, Germany, the US, and South Korea, 1st-degree specialist, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Head of the Neurosurgery and Spine Unit at AIH, is currently one of the leading experts in the field of neurosurgery and spine surgery in Vietnam. Over two decades of work and dedication, Dr. Hung has performed thousands of important surgeries, successfully treated many serious cases, helping patients overcome the brink of death and recover their quality of life.
"Patients come to me with tired, desperate eyes, but after their treatment journey, they smile brightly, their spirits are uplifted, and their health gradually recovers. It is those moments that become the great happiness of the doctor, making every effort in the work worthwhile and meaningful," Dr. Hung shared.
Perfecting the international standard multi-specialty hospital model
The development of the Neurosurgery and Spine Unit at American International Hospital (AIH) not only effectively meets the increasing treatment needs for complex diseases related to the brain, spinal cord, and spine, but also plays a strategic role in perfecting the international standard multi-specialty hospital model.
Furthermore, the American International Hospital (AIH) promotes cooperation with leading hospitals and medical organizations such as Johns Hopkins Medicine and Raffles Hospital Singapore. Recently, the American International Hospital (AIH) in collaboration with HCMC University of Medicine and Pharmacy and Johns Hopkins Medicine organized a scientific conference with the theme “Updating knowledge on Orthopedics and Spine: Advances and optimal treatment solutions”. The event attracted nearly 100 doctors from major hospitals in HCMC and the southern region to attend, exchange, and update modern treatment trends in the field of orthopedics and spine.

In the coming time, American International Hospital (AIH) enhances its professional capacity and expands the application of advanced treatment techniques in the diagnosis and intervention of complex neurological and spinal conditions. In parallel, AIH focuses on developing high-quality human resources, specializing in neurosurgery, spine, and brain surgery. With this orientation, AIH is committed to providing optimal treatment solutions, comprehensive care, and improving the quality of life for patients and their families.
