Israeli doctors save freed sailor
"Essentially, he was saved twice."
On September 7, Ukrainian sailors returned home as part of a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine. However, one of them, Denys Hrytsenko, needed urgent surgery due to a growth in his kidney. This was reported by Channel 9.
The growth turned out to be malignant. Ukrainian doctors discovered it during an examination. They consulted their Israeli colleagues at Ichilov Hospital. In a remote consultation, the doctors recommended a minimally invasive operation to remove the tumor.
However, local doctors could not perform a delicate laparoscopy, so urologist Avi Beri from Ichilov and Roman Goldman, head of the department for receiving and treating foreign patients, flew to Kyiv.
On September 16, the operation was performed and, through joint efforts, the growth was removed while the kidney was preserved. Israeli doctors are confident that the tumor had been developing over the last 10 months, which Denys Hrytsenko spent in captivity.
It turns out the sailor was saved twice: the first time during the exchange and the second time during the operation.
In Russia, protests are underway against the construction of a waste processing plant.
