Lennander Operation

Lennander surgery is a surgical procedure that was developed by the Swedish surgeon K. G. Lennander in the 19th century. The operation was aimed at treating diseases of the stomach and intestines.

The purpose of the operation was to remove part of the stomach that was damaged or infected. This reduced pressure on other parts of the stomach and reduced symptoms of the disease.

The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and required high qualifications and experience from the surgeon. After the operation, the patient had to stay in the hospital for several days to monitor his condition.

The Lennander operation was very popular in the early 20th century, but has since been replaced by more modern treatments. Today it is used only in rare cases when other treatments have failed.

"Lapprocranial access" involves surgery without an incision in the forehead and temporal region. Mini-incision and endoscopic surgery are also used for the operation. The result of the operation directly depends on the techniques, equipment and professional skills of the surgeon used. Thus, using laparoscopic surgery, it is possible to remove a thyroid tumor without large incision cavities. The spleen or other abdominal organs are removed in a similar manner. Despite the large number of advantages, this method has a number of disadvantages, for example, low efficiency in removing brain and spinal tumors
