Doctors say that the operation was performed by a multidisciplinary team and lasted about six hours. Surgeons of the National Scientific Center for Surgery and Transplantology named after OO Shalimov conducted a unique operation - they transplanted the skin on the face of a serviceman. This was announced by the press center of the institution.

"Our surgeons of the department of microvascular, plastic and renewable surgery, headed by the head Eugene Vladimirovich Simulik, conducted a unique operation-they resumed the pavement of a serviceman who was injured by a mine-explosive wound of the skull while performing their duties. " It is noted that the serviceman Vasyl Zhuk went to defend the country in March 2022, and in the early 2024 he suffered a mine -mining wound.

The metal fragment flew through the cheek and severely damaged the upper jaw, so there was a large defect in the solid jam. For a long time a man could not eat properly and even breathe. For more than six months, Vasily was waiting for a life important surgery and went to different doctors, but the doctors did not give comforting forecasts. Metropolitan specialists risked and operated on the military.

Previously, such operations were not done in Ukraine, and the doctors of the Institute themselves were consulted for a long time. However, they dare and conducted surgery. "Surgeons worked for almost six hours and transplanted the tissue from the patient's back into the area of ​​the palate. This is a high-tech surgery and we have performed this surgery with a multidisciplinary team with our colleagues-maxillofacial surgeons," doctors say.
