Siengly is 23 years old. He has six siblings. He likes to stay at home and watch TV. He is learning to repair smart phones in his free time.
Five days ago, Siengly developed chronic pain in his left groin and hip. It has become difficult for Siengly to walk. He went to a hospital in Phnom Penh for treatment, but his symptoms did not improve.
Siengly heard about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from his neighbor. He traveled for two hours with his mother to reach CSC for treatment.
When he arrived, surgeons at CSC informed him that he will need an arthroplasty to repair his hip joint. The arthroplasty will help restore the function of his joint. His surgery is scheduled for April 6. The treatment will cost $450, and Siengly needs help to raise this money.
After his treatment, he will be able to walk more easily and will be able to live comfortably again.

Siengly underwent hip surgery.
Siengly’s treatment for his hip went well. Surgeons at CSC performed a debridement procedure to remove damaged and infected tissue, and the bone was additionally biopsied. Siengly returned to CSC for a follow-up appointment a few weeks later. His wounds have healed nicely, and he reports that he can walk much more comfortably and easily than before his procedure. Siengly is scheduled for another follow-up appointment next month, however he can return to CSC for free treatment if he experiences any problems before then.
Siengly says, “I’m so happy with the results of the surgery. I feel better and I don’t feel pain. I can do anything by myself. Thanks to the staff for helping me.”
