Donetsk, Nov 8 – DAN. The dean of Donetsk Institute of urgent and Recovery Surgery named after Gusak, Professor Emil Phistal performed a complicated surgery to remove pigmented tumor on the face of a four-year old patient from Ukraine.
"The girl had a large congenital pigmented tumor on her face. Yesterday chief of plastic surgery Daniil Merkulov and me performed a surgery to remove the tumor. It is a unique surgery, as it is rarely performed on face. Such tumors also tend to develop into cancer. We performed a radical surgery," professor said.
Phistal added that the patient was transferred from Dnepropetrovsk as Donetsk institute had performed similar surgeries before: in 2012 a boy from Lugansk had undergone a similar surgery and is still being observed.
