First endoscopic liver removal operation successfully performed in Azerbaijan
The first endoscopic liver removal operation has been successfully performed in Azerbaijan this year,” Elmar Mammadov, a surgeon of the Baku Heart Center, told AzVision.az.
Mammadov said that the operation was performed on a 23-year-old woman who had been admitted to the hospital in critical condition because of delayed treatment.

“When the patient was admitted, we had to remove her left liver by way of surgery. The difficult operation was life-threatening due to the proximity to the aorta and other vessels connected to the heart. Our doctors were able to successfully complete the operation which lasted more than two hours. Four days later, the patient was discharged. And 15 days later, the patient was already back on the job,” he added.
