The doctors in Moscow performed a unique operation on the trachea for a patient.
A patient with cystic adenoid cancer in the lower third of the trachea measuring about 3 cm was admitted to the National Medical Center for Pthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases of the Russian Ministry of Health.
The tumor was detected in stages 1-2, when complete healing and remission are still possible. The tumor was discovered by mistake: the woman sought medical help for another chronic disease. During an MRI of the head, the doctors noticed a pathology in the neck area.
The patient visited various institutions, where radiation therapy was recommended to her. The board of doctors at the place of residence decided to resort to radical treatment. "We felt that the operation was possible, but such an operation could only be performed by the leading tracheal specialist in our country, Vladimir Pershin. Therefore, we immediately contacted the Thoracic Surgery Center of the National Medical Research Center of the Federal Polytechnic Institute of the Ministry of Health of Russia," said the oncologist of the Khanty-Mansiysk Regional Oncology Center Pavel.
The operation was performed by the head of the Center for Thoracic Surgery, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Preshin and his team. During the intervention, a spontaneous breathing ventilation technique was used, developed by the anesthesiologist-resuscitator of the Ilya Lenav Center. This allows you to operate without putting the patient on artificial respiration, and the surgeon can create an anastomosis quickly and safely.
"The amputation was quite extreme. "We had to remove more than half of the trachea," said head of the thoracic oncology department, Ph. D., for the surgery. A. and. Retirement
