“The healthcare professionals in Dagestan have now acquired the ability to conduct more intricate surgical procedures that previously required residents to seek treatment outside the republic. These surgeries are now performed at a level comparable to that of federal centers, with promising long-term results. This development has significantly contributed to a reduction in mortality rates and an increase in life expectancy, a trend that has been observed over the recent years.
In 2024, 10422 high-tech surgeries were performed in Dagestan. Most of these high-tech procedures were performed using minimally invasive techniques. The number of such procedures increased compared to 2023.
They include intravascular surgery on the heart, limbs, neck and brain vessels, as well as traumatological surgery on joints and ligaments, including arthroscopic surgery on the shoulder and knee joints. The surgeons perform all operations while viewing the screen. Special video systems and thin instruments are inserted into the patient's body through 2-3 small incisions to perform the surgical procedures” - Yaroslav Glazov, the Public Health Minister of the Republic of Dagestan said commenting on the measures to reduce mortality, increase life expectancy and use new diagnostic and treatment methods.
