In the capital of Tajikistan, as part of the "Days of Medicine of Kazakhstan," a team of leading traumatologists and orthopedists from the National Scientific Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after Academician Batpenov performed complex surgical interventions at the "Istiqlol" complex, reports infohub.kz.
One of the most complex operations of the day was the correction of grade IV scoliosis in a 13-year-old teenager. It was performed jointly with Tajik colleagues by the head of the Center for Spinal Pathology of the NSCTO, Seidaly Abdaliyev, and the head of the Spinal Trauma Department, Murat Baidarbekov.
Another equally complex operation was performed on a 37-year-old man injured in a road traffic accident. He was diagnosed with severe multiple trauma: pelvic bone injuries, central dislocation of the left femoral head, fracture of the right tibia, and dislocation of the talus bone of the right foot.
"For vital indications, reduction of the talus dislocation and osteosynthesis of the right tibia were performed. The operation was carried out by Kairat Tazhin together with colleagues," the statement said.
In addition to operations, Kazakh surgeons held consultations for local patients with spinal diseases and trauma sequelae, as well as people with orthopedic pathologies. In total, doctors examined 23 patients in the hospital and consulted 67 people during the day.
Earlier it was reported that Kazakh doctors from republican centers in the fields of cardiology, oncology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and traumatology had arrived in Tajikistan. As part of the Days of Kazakh Medicine in Dushanbe, domestic specialists will conduct joint operations and master classes.
