The third operation in Tajikistan to remove the thyroid gland using the endoscopic method was successfully carried out at the National Medical Center "Shifobakhsh". This was reported by the press service of the institution.
The surgical intervention was performed on July 4 under the supervision of Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Nuriddin Mukhiddin. The operation was performed without complications on Dushanbe resident Inobat Khairulloeva, who was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule.
"The endoscopic method allows us to avoid large incisions, which speeds up the patient's recovery and eliminates visible scars," said surgeon Komron Boltuyev. According to him, instead of traditional hospitalization for up to 10 days, the patient was discharged after five days.
In the republic, similar interventions were previously carried out only twice – in January and October 2022.
After the operation, the patient noted a complete disappearance of the symptoms of the disease – shortness of breath, fainting and loss of appetite.
Experts emphasize that endoscopic surgery is a promising area that will develop in the near future at the country’s leading clinics.
