In the Republic of Tajikistan, for the first time, a unique medical operation was performed to remove gallstones and diagnose bile ducts using the latest endoscopic equipment Eye Max without a surgical incision. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic.
According to the department, the innovative operation was successfully performed by specialists of the State Institution "Republican Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery". For the first time in Tajikistan and Central Asia, doctors performed an endoscopic operation through the oral cavity using the ultra-thin Chinese-made Eye Max endoscope. The diameter of the device is only 3 millimeters, and the working channel is 1.2 millimeters, which allows for interventions with minimal trauma to the patient.
As the head of the diagnostics and treatment department of the center Sorbon Musoev explained, previously such interventions in Tajikistan and Central Asian countries were performed only by open surgery with cavity incisions. The introduction of Eye Max technology allows to completely avoid an incision on the patient's body, significantly reducing the time of hospitalization and rehabilitation. Patients can be discharged home already 24 hours after the operation.
"Such modern methods allow us to reduce treatment time and minimize the risks of complications. In addition, patients are relieved of the need to undergo complex and expensive operations abroad," Musoev noted.
The department emphasized that this device allows for diagnostics and surgical intervention in cases of cholelithiasis, gallbladder polyps, bile duct cancer, and tumors of the head of the pancreas. Doctors at the republican center have undergone special training and advanced training courses abroad to implement advanced methods in the republic.
According to representatives of the Ministry of Health, the introduction of modern technologies into the practice of domestic medicine became possible thanks to state support and the priority attention of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan to the development of the healthcare system.
"Today, Tajikistan has created all the conditions for carrying out the most complex medical operations. Thanks to the arrival of new equipment and the high level of training of medical personnel, residents of the republic have the opportunity to receive high-quality and affordable medical care without going abroad," the statement says.
