In South Ossetia, for the first time, was held the international interdisciplinary scientific conference on hand surgery, within the framework of which free reception of patients and operations were held for residents of our Republic, Minister of Health of the Republic Soslan Naniev told the “Res” news agency.
"The conference was attended by leading experts in hand surgery from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yaroslavl, Novosibirsk, Makhachkala and other Russian cities, and Health Minister of Abkhazia, Eduard Butba, who is himself a trauma surgeon, was invited as a guest of honor. Within the framework of the conference, Russian surgeons consulted more than a hundred residents of South Ossetia, of which more than 50 people were operated on. Among the operations are high-tech and rare in complexity, such as the operation of the eight-month-old girl with congenital syndactyly or fused fingers, which was performed in the republic for the first time. I want to emphasize that the arrival of leading specialists was an "act of goodwill", the Ministry of Health of the Republic did not pay for their participation, reception of patients and operations," said Naniev.
According to him, the agenda of the conference itself, which was held in the conference hall of the South Ossetian State University, included 15 reports on interesting topics, such as “Fracture of the distal metaepiphysis of the radius. How it is treated today? "Damage to the tendons of the flexors of the fingers of the hand", "Tumor-like formations of the hand", etc.
“One of the important points is that all traumatologists of South Ossetia took part in the conference, which is also of great importance. These are personal acquaintances, connections in the future, exchange of experience, that is, a common practice for such events,” the Health Ministry has emphasized.
According to Naniev, despite the tight schedule, there was also a cultural program, the guests really liked our Republic.
President of the Republic Anatoly Bibilov awarded the Russian hand surgeon Andrey Zhigalo with the Order of Friendship of South Ossetia.
