German surgeons at the volunteer hospital "Brass" performed extremely complex operations for the military.

The international cooperation of our hospital and surgeons, orthopedic traumatologists, professors of the Medical University of Munich made it possible to perform complex reconstructive surgeries for Defenders of Ukraine.

This was made possible thanks to the cooperation with our German friend Markus Feuerocker and his Weisedar Foundation.

In the summer, we expressed our wish to exchange experience with German orthopedic traumatologists, who specialize in the following operations: transplantation of large skin flaps on the vascular pedicle, replacement of large bone defects and bone augmentation using the Masculet method.

During three days (November 13-15) German surgeons together with surgeons from Ivano-Frankivsk successfully performed five reconstructive surgeries on patients with severe bone and vascular injuries.

❤️During the mission of German surgeons to the Brass Hospital two patients managed to save limbs from amputations.

❗️ "This cooperation is very important for us as we are facing rare cases of war injuries that require a high level of specialized treatment. German professors have extensive experience in working with similar cases in other countries which is invaluable for our hospital," said Stanislav Onyshchuk, Director of the hospital.

In six months specialists from Munich are going to return for new surgeries and exchange experience with Ukrainian doctors.
In addition during the rehabilitation of the soldiers surgeons from Germany will always be in touch and advise on individual cases online.


Recall that surgical operations for the military were carried out by Wolf Mutschler, a surgeon, university lecturer and scientist. Honorary member of the German Society of Surgeons.
Dr. Andreas Schmidt is the former head of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at BG-Klinik.
Prof. Dr.Michael Scherer-Former Head of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Munich.

The selection of patients and surgical interventions was carried out by a team of specialists under the leadership of Professor, Doctor of Medicine, orthopedic traumatologist of the highest category Vadym Sulyma (Ivano-Frankivsk).

Our sincere thanks to our German and Ukrainian colleagues for their help and patients for their trust!
