  • Urologists of the Regional Cancer Center have mastered a new medical technology

    27.05.2020 10:07:24


    Annually, doctors of the Irkutsk Regional Cancer Center perform about 30-40 operations on removal of the bladder, prostate gland and seminal vesicles (cystprostatevesiculectomy). And recently, they have started to perform this operation laparoscopically.


    The first patient to evaluate the advantages of this technique was a 62 year old man with a diagnosis of “infiltrative bladder tumor” (stage III). And in the operating room, a team of urologists (Ivan Popov, Elena Zagainova, Sergey Oryshchak) have worked for more than five hours under the leadership of the head of urology department, candidate of medical sciences, urologist of the highest qualification category Olga Baklanova and the team of ARO-4 anesthesiologists under the guidance of anesthesiologist of a highest qualification category Alexander Pavlov..


    “As with all laparoscopic operations, access to the patient’s body was gained through several small holes, and the removed organs were taken out through an incision of 5 cm in length. In comparison to open surgery, this method is less traumatic, so the very next day the patient can get up and walk. In addition, the undoubted advantages of laparoscopy are the high accuracy of the operation and minimal blood loss in the patient,” says Olga Baklanova. “Henceforth, if the prevalence of the tumor process will allow for laparoscopic operations, - we will perform them only this way.”


                











    However, laparoscopic operations have been performed in the urology department for five years now: this technique is used to remove the kidneys and prostate glands affected by the tumor. And now the doctors of urology department have another more sophisticated medical technology on their hands.


    “Our main teacher in the mastering of this operation was the chief non-staff urologist and transplantologist of the Kuban Territory, the deputy chief physician for the urology and nephrology service of the 1st Regional Hospital of Ochapovsky (Krasnodar), MD, professor Vladimir Medvedev, who paid us a visit and gave master classes. We also adopted experience of specialists from St. Petersburg, Kazan and Volgograd, where the doctors of our department went to study,” says Olga Baklanova.
