Russian military surgeons save lives with unique operations.
Surgeons at the Vishnevsky Central Military Clinical Hospital extracted a bullet from the soldier's heart. The bullet passed through his left lung and entered the heart tissue, while a fragment of shrapnel remained near the central artery of the brain. This is the 15th such case, with previous patients returning to service within three months.
In Ryazan, the surgeons of the Moscow Military District performed another complex procedure, grafting a bone fragment from the febula to the radius of a severely traumatized arm. Blood supply was restored and function was preserved, allowing full rehabilitation.
