Mark Dyrzka, a leading spinal surgeon from the United States, will come to Lviv again. For two weeks, from May 13 to 22, he will help the specialists of the St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital of the First Medical Association treat children with spinal defects.
In particular, the doctors will consult and operate on young patients with various spinal diseases: curvatures, congenital and acquired developmental anomalies, vertebral instability, etc.
This time, a US neurophysiologist, Brian Dembosky, will also work with the American surgeon. The goal of the American specialists is not only to help Ukrainian children, but also to share their knowledge and experience with Ukrainian colleagues. That is why the foreign specialists will perform all surgeries together with the team of specialists at St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital.
“Together, we will surgically treat such types of spinal curvature as scoliosis, pathological kyphosis, lordosis, and congenital anomalies. American specialists will operate mainly on children with combined scoliosis and its complications. As of now, 9 complicated surgical interventions have already been planned,” says the First Medical Association of Lviv.
To get a consultation, you need to register.
