Kochera-Lexera Operation

Kocher-Laxer operation is a surgical procedure that is used to treat conditions associated with kidney stones. It was developed by Swiss surgeon Ernst Kocher and German surgeon Emil Laxer at the beginning of the 20th century.

Kocher-Lexer surgery involves removing stones from the kidney through an incision in the abdominal cavity. Surgeons use special instruments to remove stones and also to control bleeding. After surgery, the patient may remain in the hospital from several days to a week, depending on the severity of the disease.

This operation is one of the most common surgical procedures in urology. It is highly effective and has a low complication rate. However, like any other surgery, Kocher-Lexor surgery has its risks and may cause some complications such as infection, bleeding or organ damage.

Overall, the Kocher-Lexer operation is an important tool in the treatment of kidney stones and other urinary tract diseases. It allows you to remove stones and prevent their re-formation in the future.

_Kocher-Lekser Operation_ is a surgical method of restoring the functionality of the gastrointestinal tract by performing abdominal surgery and creating an anastomosis between the stomach and small intestine.

**History** In 1885, surgeon Karl Kocher developed a technique for creating a gastrointestinal anastomosis - connecting two segments of the small intestine and two segments of the stomach through the jejunum. For this purpose, previously created versions of esophagogastroduodenoanastomosis and segmental resections were used. By creating a gastrointestinal anastomosis, Kocher created a one-stage peritonectomy technique, as a result of which patients often received rapid clearance of peritoneal contents. Surgeon Ernst Lexer from Germany, shortly after Kocher's description of the described technology, in the early 20th century, developed and successfully used extensive reconstruction techniques in cases of acute obstruction. In this case, he performed gastric surgery with an anastomosis between the stomach through the jejunum, replacing the dead intestine or appendix, and also formed a bridge between the pancreas and duodenum for the subsequent drainage of bile. The procedure was successful in more than
