Russia (bbabo.net), - In the Sverdlovsk region, for the first time during one operation, doctors removed a swelling of the jaw from a patient and immediately performed a reconstruction with prosthetics.

The operation lasted 13 hours. It involved maxillofacial surgeons, an oncologist, a plastic surgeon, and other specialists.

The neoplasm nestled in the woman's lower jaw. "10-15 years ago, the patient would have been left with a crippled face, could not eat, communicate and even breathe normally," says Dr. Alexander Medunetsky, head of the head and neck surgery department at the Preobrazhenskaya clinic.

Now, in one operation, doctors have been able to restore all vital functions and facial aesthetics.

"They removed the patient's tumor with a part of the lower jaw, including damaged teeth, at the same time took a peroneal graft with the vessels of the lower leg and moved it to the defect area. In addition, dental implants were installed in the transferred tissues and dental prosthetics," said the Information Department. politics of the region.

As Alexander Medunetsky noted, the operation was virtually simulated together with an engineer - that is, its result was predictable.
