He had not been able to eat properly for 30 years, and recently he was unable to swallow even liquid food.
In Lviv, local doctors, together with the Da Vinci robot, returned a whole life of a woman who had not been able to eat and drink normally for 30 years. She is 69-year-old Larisa from Bakhmut, Donetsk region. This is stated on the Facebook page of the First Medical Association of Lviv.
The woman was diagnosed with achalasia of the esophagus, which was treated with medication. But all this time he felt pain and discomfort in his stomach, he could not eat, and for the last two months he could not swallow liquid food.
“This is a diagnosis that, according to statistics, affects only 0.001% of people on the planet. Food blocks the esophagus and prevents it from moving into the digestive system. Therefore, it flows into the lungs, which eventually leads to to pneumonia and even death Larisa The best way to relieve the woman’s pain is surgery using the Da Vinci working system. Our surgeons Andriy Stasyshyn, Andrey Dvorakevich and Andrey Guraevsky, using a robotic surgeon, separated the muscular membrane of the esophagus, relieved the spasm, and also applied the so-called cuff to prevent the reflux of food from the stomach back into the esophagus. All this was done through several punctures, “said the doctors.
It is noted that these specialists have already performed this rare operation at the beginning of this year. Then this is the first time in Ukraine.
