Specialized directions of the institute

Valikhnovski Surgery Institute combines several surgical disciplines, which allows for solving the most complex multidisciplinary cases within a single clinic:

Plastic and reconstructive

Reconstruction after injuries, burns, oncological surgeries, correction of congenital defects (cleft palate with Harvard MGH).

General and emergency

Initial school of Shalimov's internship and internship experience in intensive care in Ottawa (Canada).

Head and neck oncosurgery

Removal of tumors and neoplasms with immediate or staged reconstruction of soft tissues and bones.

Maxillofacial surgery

Complex restoration of the facial skeleton, orthognathic surgery, facial traumatology.

Otolaryngological surgery

Functional surgery of the nose, ENT organs, integrated with aesthetic plastic surgery.

Pediatric surgery

Specialized reconstruction programs for infants and children (congenital upper lip defects).

Laser breast surgery

Minimally invasive laser techniques for correction and treatment of the breast.

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation

Comprehensive support and restoration of patient mobility after interventions.
