Operated on ruins: the surgeon of the Armed Forces amputated the limb of a soldier to get him out of the rubble

"Alexei did his most important operation on the surgical table, but in a narrow creeper under the concrete slabs of a destroyed building, lying down next to a covered fragments by a defender," - said in the medical forces.

Prior to the war, he was a civilian and had a specialization of a combstiologist - a specialist in the treatment of severe burns and worked in the center of thermal trauma and reconstructive surgery of the city of Dnipro and went to the military meeting every year, as he served in the military reserve.

He mobilized on February 25, 2022, worked at the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Eastern Region and gained experience of military surgery there, and then Alexei left for Zaporozhye, in the advanced surgical department. There was a situation that as a result of an hostile blow to Gulyaypol, one of the buildings collapsed, buried under it.

One of them could not get it for a long time, he was deep under the rubble and his brothers had to dig a special Laz under the wreckage to approach this guy. It was not possible to get it, as his legs were dumped with a multi -ton concrete overlap. The soldiers tried to get it from under the rubble for several hours, but could not.

The head of the medical service of the brigade came to the conclusion that the only way to save life is to carry out the amputation of the lower extremities just there, under the rubble. "When I arrived in place, I saw a narrow passage between the concrete slabs that kept on the road jack. Only one person could be accommodated near the wounded, it was possible to work only lying down. At first, a brigade anesthesiologist could be used to the wounded. - said Alexei Noley.

After the anesthesiologist got out of the plates, a surgeon made his way there, he lay on his side, his hands dug a niche-he started a turnstile there, began to cut a limb through his knee joint. The action of anesthesia at some point began to weaken, and he was thrown into the niche with a syringe with the drug. "The scalpel all crossed, and through the same niche I got a regular kitchen knife that I continued this amputation. With great difficulty I was able to amputate the second leg.

After which we were pulled out of this hole with the victim. While I was doing it, and the Ruins were moaning. shelling, "the surgeon said. Vius added that after the operation he learned that the leadership of the brigade had drawn to the rubble of all the means of HR, which were able to attract. Due to this, a reliable dome was a reliable dome, which could not break enemy drum drones.

"Sometimes it is necessary to overcome the fear, take a step forward, not just as a doctor, but as a combat officer. But my fear is nothing compared to all that the patient himself has survived. Alexei Noleyko told. The wounded fighter was evacuated to a brigade stabilization point, where they made anti -shock measures and conducted a conversion of turnstiles, as well as cleaned and washed wounds as much as possible. The guy survived, underwent several heavy operations and now walks on prostheses.
