Volkovich Resection

Volkovich Resection (n.m. Volkovich) is a surgical operation that is performed to treat various diseases and conditions. It was developed in 1923 by Russian surgeon Sergei Nikolaevich Volkovich and since then has been widely used in medical practice.

Volkovich Resection is one of the most effective operations performed in the treatment of cancer of the stomach, esophagus and other abdominal organs. It involves removing the affected organ along with nearby lymph nodes and tissues.

The operation is performed through an incision in the abdominal wall, which allows the surgeon to gain access to the affected organ. The surgeon then removes the affected organ and surrounding tissue, and also removes lymph nodes that may be affected by metastases.

After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital under the supervision of doctors for several days. During this time, he is treated with antibiotics and other drugs to prevent the development of infection.

One of the main advantages of the Volkovich Resection is its high effectiveness in treating cancer. However, like any other surgery, it has its risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection and others. Therefore, before undergoing surgery, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and consultation with a doctor.
