Another highly complex oncological surgery has been successfully performed at the Karazanashvili Robotic Center.
Professor Aleksandre Tsaluqelashvili, together with a team of young specialists, carried out yet another challenging oncological operation — this time in the field of abdominal surgery. The 63-year-old patient, who arrived in critical condition from abroad, was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal tumor complicated by bleeding.
The tumor had penetrated through the stomach wall into the free abdominal cavity and was in close contact with the pancreas, which showed signs of tissue destruction. The surgery was life-saving, and based on the severity of the condition, it was chosen as the first stage of treatment. The procedure was performed in the following sequence:
- Complete removal of the stomach, spleen, the primary tumor, the tail and body of the pancreas, and surrounding omentum tissues in a single block.
- After the resection, a reconstructive procedure was performed: an invaginated anti-reflux anastomosis was created between the esophagus and the small intestine, forming an artificial “new” stomach.
Professor Aleksandre Tsaluqelashvili is a State Prize laureate, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and Head of the Surgical Department at the Karazanashvili Robotic Center.
At the Karazanashvili Robotic Center, within the Guram Karazanashvili Urology Hub, complex and life-saving oncological surgeries are performed daily by world-class specialists using the latest in constantly updated medical technologies.
