Laparoscopic surgery for removal of kidney cancer in MC Erebouni.
Unfortunately, today in most cases, even if the resection of kidney is possible, most often nephrectomy (removal of kidney) is performed. The fact is, that formally (according to clinical recommendations) the removal of kidney is a standard method of treatment of localized kidney cancer. It doesn`t matter what tumor it is – is it possible to remove it radically within the healthy kidney tissue.
Despite the wider implementation of organ-preserving surgery into clinical practice, main method of treatment of kidney cancer remains the removal of affected organ- nephrectomy (removal of the kidney).

Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy. Professional approach.
Ivor Lewis esophagectomy is considered to be a rather complex procedure in terms of implementation and duration ( an average 7-8 hours) and is performed for cancer involving the middle and lower third of esophagus, as well as in cardioesophageal cancer. Wherein the stomach is fully mobilized. Piloroplasty or piloromyatomy is performed. The distal esophagus is mobilized through the opening of the diaphragm. The stomach is moved to the posterior mediastinum, however it can also be moved to the neck substernally. From the greater curvature of stomach is cut out a double-end graft. Esophagus is extracted from the posterior mediastinum through a right sided thoracotomy, it is crossed, the stomach is led out through the diaphragmatic opening. Then antireflux anastomosis is applied. Consistency of anastomosis is checked with barium meal after 5-7 days.
