After the war is over, Ukraine will become one of the world’s largest centers for reconstructive surgery and treatment of mine-blast injuries, predicts plastic surgeon and founder of the Lita Plus clinic Serhiy Derbak.
“In 2014, when we started operating on wounded soldiers, it became the starting point for modern reconstructive surgery in Ukraine. And after 2022, with the outbreak of a full-scale war, the number of reconstructive surgeries and new reconstructive surgery centers in Ukraine became unprecedented. I am convinced that after the war is over, Ukraine will become one of the strongest centers in the world in terms of experience in dealing with war and mine-blast injuries,” he said in an interview withInterfax-Ukraine.
Derbak noted that “today in Ukraine there is a real boom in the development of microsurgery and reconstructive surgery.”
“Although I wish these circumstances had not arisen, this is a time of extraordinary professional development for professional surgeons. After all, mine-blast injuries are unpredictable, each case is unique and requires maximum skill,” he said.
