Thanks to the coordinated work of specialists and the timely provision of high-tech medical assistance, it was possible to save the child's life.

      Specialists at the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital performed an emergency surgical intervention on a newborn with a severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) – a rare and dangerous developmental defect. In this anomaly, abdominal organs shift into the chest cavity through a defect in the diaphragm, compressing the lungs and disrupting their development. This leads to severe respiratory and cardiovascular failure within the first hours of the child's life. Despite advances in modern medicine, mortality in this pathology reaches 40-50%. The child was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital on the first day of life in extremely critical condition, on mechanical ventilation, with pronounced signs of respiratory and cardiovascular failure. After stabilizing the condition, the patient was urgently examined and operated on. Surgeons repositioned the abdominal organs to their anatomically correct position and repaired the diaphragm defect. Thanks to the coordinated work of specialists and timely provision of high-tech medical assistance, the child's life was saved, positive dynamics in the condition was achieved, and conditions were created for further recovery and healing of the baby. The operation was performed by: - Head of the early childhood surgery department, PhD, surgeon Maria Alexandrovna Zykova; - Surgical assistant Viet Anh Bui; - Attending neonatologist Elena Valentinovna Bobyleva.
