In the Chelyabinsk hospital, a unique operation was performed to restore the child's nose restored her nose, which she lost after birth. The technology for the operation was developed by Mikhail Korostelev, a reconstructive plastic surgeon of the CHODKB, according to the Instagram of the medical institution.
The girl was born at the 26th week of pregnancy and weighed only 850 grams at birth. In intensive care, she breathed through a tube that destroyed the delicate tissue of the nasal cartilage. As a result, when the tube was removed, the tip of the nose was almost gone.
The girl's mother said that she called all hospitals in Russia, but she was denied treatment everywhere. In Moscow, the woman was told that they could not carry out the operation before six or seven years. “They said that you have to take a cloth from your forehead and transfer it to your nose and walk with this piece for two months. I was shocked by the method. With a bang, they say, then close your forehead and you won't see it. My hands just dropped, “the Russian woman admitted.
Surgeon Korostelev explained that the situation was rather complicated and he could not find similar operations in the available literature. For almost three months, the specialist thought about solving the problem. “The result is a combined plastic surgery using complex auricle grafts. We took the auricle sector, and not just skin, but also cartilage. This option is my own development, “the doctor summed up.
It is noted that now the girl has fully recovered after the operation. She had the last stitches removed, now she goes to school and lives a full life.
