Cunning Operation

The Khitrova operation is a surgical procedure that was developed by Soviet surgeon Fyodor Mikhailovich Khitrov in the 1930s. This operation is used to treat abdominal hernias, as well as to eliminate other abdominal pathologies.

Fedor Mikhailovich Khitrov was born in 1903 in Moscow. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov in 1927. After graduating from university, he worked in various medical institutions, including the surgical department of the N. A. Semashko Hospital.

In 1933, Khitrov developed his own unique method for treating hernias. He suggested using a special suture to prevent the hernia from recurring. This seam is called the “cunning seam”.

Since then, the cunning operation has become widely used in surgical practice. It allows you to eliminate the hernia without the risk of recurrence of the pathology. In addition, cunning surgery has a number of advantages over other methods of hernia treatment, such as the absence of postoperative scars and rapid recovery after surgery.

However, despite all the advantages, cunning surgery is not an ideal method for treating hernias and has its drawbacks. For example, it may not be effective in treating large hernias and may lead to complications such as infection or bleeding.

Thus, cunning surgery is one of the most effective methods of treating hernias, but it cannot be used in all cases. Before the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and choose the optimal treatment method depending on the individual characteristics of the body.

Ivan Mikhailovich Khitrov was born in 1898 in Moscow. In 1924 he graduated from Moscow State University and began his career as a surgeon.

In the 1930s, Khitrov began developing new methods of treating cancer. He developed and introduced into practice a method of surgery for stomach cancer, which became known as the “cunning operation.” This method made it possible to remove the tumor without damaging neighboring organs and tissues, which significantly increased the patient’s chances of recovery.

The Khitrov operation became widespread in the USSR and abroad, and became one of the most effective methods of treating stomach cancer. Many lives have been saved thanks to this method.

Ivan Mikhailovich Khitrov was awarded many state awards and honorary titles. He died in 1970, but his name remains in the history of medicine and continues to live in the hearts of people who are grateful to him for saving their lives.
