surgery on the organs of the chest, including thoracoscopic interventions
surgery on the abdomen with a predominant use of laparoscopic techniques
surgery on the mammary gland, including organ preserving operations and organ restoration procedures to ensure complete rehabilitation

Abdominal surgery deals with following surgical procedure:

defects and anomalies of development of the gastrointestinal tract (Hirschsprung's disease, gastrointestinal tract atresia and stenosis, double bowel, Meckel's diverticulum, pyloric stenosis, etc.)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Cystes and hernias of various localization

The department also conducted surgical treatment of liver and biliary tract:

Malformations of hepatobiliary zone (biliary atresia, choledochal cysts, hemangioma of the liver, etc.)
calculous cholecystitis

The department also conducts surgery on lungs, bronchus, pleura, diaphragm and other thoracic organs. Contemporary methods of plastic reconstruction of thorax and pleural cavitis are continuously developed and implemented at the department. Great attention is given to the prevention of postoperative complications. The minimal invasive methods of surgery that is modern arsenal of thoracic surgery such as thoracoscopic and endoscopic (WATS) video assisted surgery are widely used at the department too.

Thoracic surgery covers surgical treatment of the following diseases:

malformations of the broncho-pulmonary system (diaphragmatic hernia, stenosis of the trachea and bronchi, pulmonary atelectasis, cysto- adenomatous malformation, bronchopulmonary cyst, etc.)

lung cysts of different etiologies
benign tumors of the mediastinum
chest deformity
Post-traumatic, peptic, post-burn esophageal stenosis, tracheal stenosis of any etiology
Vascular malformations of lung

The department is widely used also a minimal invasive technologies (up to 70% of thoracic surgery is performed using videothoracoscopy). Maximum preservation of lung tissue is possible to carry out with the help of a neodymium YAG laser, which is especially necessary for removing of multiple metastases of lung.

At the department is introduced plastic surgery for patients with spinal injuries and injuries of spinal canal, with bedsores. Performs all types of breast surgery: breast resizing and the formation of its new forms after the removal or in presence of birth defects.

The department is also successfully conducted laparoscopic and endovideoscopic surgery.

Types of minimal invasive thoracic surgical interventions performed in the department:

Thoracoscopic biopsy of lung and the mediastinal lymph nodes;
Thoracoscopic removal of tumors and cysts of the mediastinum, including thymectomy in generalized myasthenia gravis;
Thoracoscopic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax, palmar hyperhidrosis, emphysema, pleurisy;
All kinds of surgery for benign and malignant tumors of the lung;
Complex treatment of cancer and metastatic tumors of the lung, including lung resection using a neodymium YAG laser;
All kinds of surgery for tumors and diverticula of the esophagus;
Reconstructive surgery of the trachea and bronchi, including surgery for tracheal stenosis and tracheoesophageal fistula;
Surgical treatment of hernias of the diaphragm;
Surgical treatment of echinococcosis and other parasitic diseases of the lungs.

Also held a mini-invasive abdominal surgery in following cases:

complicated and non-complicated forms of acute appendicitis.
periappendicular infiltrates and abscesses.

inguinal hernia
varicose veins of the spermatic cord and the testicle.
Meckel diverticulum
intestinal perforation
adhesive intestinal obstruction

Due to equipping of the Department with modern high quality medical equipment and staffing with highly-professional level of specialist’s team it is possible not only to carry out highly complex, but unique thoracic and abdominal surgery at international standards.
