Mariona-Holzova Operation

Marion-Holtz operation is a surgical procedure that is used to treat various diseases of the urinary tract, such as urolithiasis, hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis and others. It was developed by the French urologist Gustav Marion and the Soviet urologist Nikolai Kholtsov at the beginning of the 20th century.

The essence of the operation is that a special instrument is inserted through a small incision in the patient’s lumbar region, which allows stones to be removed from the ureter and kidneys. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about 40-60 minutes.

After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for several days to ensure there are no complications. In most cases, after Marion-Holtz surgery, patients can return to normal life without any restrictions.

However, like any surgical procedure, the Marion-Holtz operation has its risks and complications. Among them are damage to neighboring organs and tissues, bleeding, infection and others. Therefore, before performing the operation, it is necessary to conduct a complete examination of the patient and make sure that it is necessary.

In general, the Marion-Holtz operation is an effective method for treating urinary tract diseases and can be used in patients with various forms of urolithiasis, hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis and other diseases. However, before carrying out it, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient’s condition and conduct the necessary examination.

Marion–Holtzov operation is a surgical intervention developed by the French urologist Gaston Marion and the Soviet urologist Nikolai Holtsov. The purpose of the operation is to eliminate obstruction of the urinary tract and restore the flow of urine from the kidneys to the bladder. This operation is used in urology, especially for stone formations in the kidneys and urinary tract.

Operation description. The main stage of the operation is an incision in the patient's abdominal area and removal of kidney or bladder stones. For this, a special device is used and the obstruction is removed, that is, sand and stones are removed from the urinary tract. At the next stage, the surgeon needs to restore the patency of the urinary tract, for which the ureters and bladder are cleared of the remaining obstruction. For complete reconstruction, specially made metal parts are used, which are used as prostheses. The surgeon can also use his own skin if the patient does not have enough space to install the prosthesis. It is very important to make sure that the prosthesis will not lead to repeated blockage of urination before the operation.

Preparing for surgery. Before the operation, the patient must undergo an examination, which includes x-rays, ultrasound and computed tomography. These tests help determine the location of the stones and identify possible problems with the prosthesis or leather ring. Treatment may also require anesthesia, which is used to help the patient relax and remain still during surgery.

Rehabilitation after surgery. After the operation, the patient is usually under the supervision of the attending physician for several days. During this time, he will be able to take liquid food and move limitedly. Sometimes special care is used to support drainage or IV medications. After a few days, the patient will be able to slowly get back on his feet and start eating at home, but he should still avoid physical activity and increased blood pressure.

This operation has become one of the most common treatment methods
