The Department was established in 1976.
The core activities of the department are abdominal surgery, vascular surgery, hernia repair and surgery for benign tumors.
Professor O.O. Rummo, Dr habil., Chief of the Surgery Service, coordinates medical and research activities.
We regularly implement new methods of diagnosis and treatment. We take trainings at the leading clinics in Germany, Belgium and England. We cooperate with the specialists of Department of Surgical Diseases No.2 of Belarusian State Medical University, Department of Transplantation of Belarusian Medical Academy of Post Graduate Education, Department of Hepatology and Minimally Invasive Surgery and the Department of Transplantation of the Republican Research and Practice Center of Organ and Tissue Transplantation.
We care for each patient.
Hernias in the anterior abdominal wall
- Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias using the advanced endoscopic equipment:
- Transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair;
- Total endoscopic preperitoneal hernia repair.
- Hernia repair (including recurrent hernias) using synthetic materials, i.e. polypropylene mesh, adhesive prostheses).
Diseases of the gall bladder and bile ducts:
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We carry out single port and single incision surgery. Thus, the gall bladder may be removed through one tiny incision.
- Bile duct repair and reconstruction;
- Percutaneous biliary drainage under the guidance of ultrasound;
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy for choledocholithiasis, endobiliary stenting.
Varicose veins of the lower extremities
We offer a range of pain management options: local, spinal and regional. Patients undergo ultrasound examinations before the surgery. The surgery is carried out under the guidance of ultrasound.
- Endovenous laser ablation of the stems of saphenous veins (early rehabilitation, best cosmetic effect);
- Endovenous laser ablation of perforator veins in case of stasis ulcers in the site of surgery;
- Ambulatory phlebectomy (varicose veins are removed through tine incisions with the help of special surgical tools);
- Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery;
- Sclerotherapy for reticular veins;
- Conventional surgery (crossectomy, stripping of the stems of saphenous veins).
Diseases of peripheral arteries
- Diagnostic angiography, venography, angioplasty, stenting for obliterative arterial diseases (help to prevent gangrenes, no open surgery is required);
- Hybrid technologies for multifocal atherosclerosis (femoropopliteal bypass “insitu” + angioplasty (stenting));
- Embolization of peripheral arteries in case of aneurysms.
Chronic pancreatic diseases
Frey’s and Beger’s procedures, pancreatoduodenal resection, biliary digestive anastomoses, minimally invasive surgery under the guidance of ultrasound.
Pancreaticoduodenal tumors
pancreatoduodenal resection with lymph node dissection, distal pancreatic resection, biliary bypass, gastrointestinal bypass.
Liver diseases
Laparoscopic hepatic cystectomy, laparoscopic liver resections, liver tumor resection, biopsy of the liver and liver lesions.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
Endoscopic gastrointestinal polypectomy, surgery for the complicated forms of ulcer disease, laparoscopic appendectomy.
Diseases of the spleen
Laparoscopic splenectomy, laparoscopic fenestration of cysts.
Endoscopic (PEG techniqe), laparoscipic and open techniques
Removal of benign tumors of the skin and soft tissues
We apply FASTTRACK techniques (sipping, perioperative enteral nutrition, early activation, minimally invasive access, prolonged epidural and paravertebral anesthesia, TAP-block after high-traumatic abdominal surgery).
Emergency surgery for:
- Acute appendicitis laparoscopic and open appendectomy);
- Acute cholecystitis;
- Acute pancreatitis;
- Bowel obstruction;
- Complicated gastroduodenal ulcer;
- Open and closed abdominal injuries;
- Injuries of soft tissues;
- Constricted hernias of the anterior abdominal wall;
- Obstructive jaundice.
