Novotelnova Method: The contribution of a Soviet surgeon to medical science
Sergei Aleksandrovich Novotelnov (1883-1956) is an outstanding Soviet surgeon, whose research and methods are still actively used in medical practice. One of Novotelnov’s most significant contributions to medical science is the development of the so-called “Novotelnov method,” which has become widely used in the treatment of various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
The Novotelnov method was developed in the 1920s and became an effective method for treating gastric and duodenal ulcers. The essence of the method is that doctors inject into the cavity of the stomach or intestines a special solution that contains methylene blue, a dye that has antiseptic properties. Then, at the site of the lesion in the stomach or intestines, doctors apply an electric current, which causes the dye to oxidize. This process results in the formation of a hard crust that protects the damaged tissue and promotes healing.
Novotelnov's method was a revolutionary discovery in the treatment of peptic ulcers of the stomach and intestines. Previously, treatment was based on surgery, which was associated with a high risk of complications. Thanks to Novotelnov and his method of treatment, patients were able to avoid surgery and recover from the disease.
Today, the Novotelnova method is actively used in medical practice not only for the treatment of gastric and intestinal ulcers, but also for the treatment of various other diseases. In addition, this method helps to avoid operations and the risks associated with them, which makes it one of the most popular in medical practice.
Thus, Novotelnov's method is a vivid example of how scientific discoveries can change the world and improve the lives of millions of people. Thanks to the efforts of Sergei Aleksandrovich Novotelnov, medical science has received a new, more effective method of treatment, which still remains relevant and in demand.
The author of the invention received a positive assessment from specialists.
At the end of the 50s of the 20th century and the beginning of the 60s, Dr. Samuil Abramovich Novotelnov announced that he had received a device that was proposed to be used as an antidiarrheal and radioprotective agent. The sources indicate that subsequently
