Patients are usually afraid of the unknown. Immersion in anesthesia and surgery is an uncontrolled process by the patient.

Providing the patient with a good sleep before surgery is a very important task, which gives peace of mind to both the patient and the surgeon.

I have no secret words for persuasion, my task is to explain to the patient why it is better to do this and not otherwise. It is important for the patient to understand why the operation is being performed.

People who are insanely afraid of surgery often take a break for reflection, but after a while they usually return, convinced of the need for intervention. The main thing is not to waste precious time.

Everyone has their own tactics of interaction with the patient, someone says "Don't be afraid, this is a simple operation", I prefer to discuss all the risks so that in case of unforeseen situations I do not lose the patient's confidence.

The most important thing in communicating with a patient is mutual understanding and trust.

There are patients who do not want to know anything about the operation - this is also a form of fear.

As for the aesthetic side, we consider this a very important task. And there is absolutely no difference whether the patient is male or female, an old man or a young man. The result of the operation must be correct in terms of anatomy, physiology and aesthetics. Why leave a mess behind? We're not on the battlefield.

If the pain persists and there are other symptoms, this is a reason to see a doctor immediately. There are no trivial cases. I consider any patient's visit to a doctor to be justified.

Without sufficient knowledge, you cannot offer help to the patient, you can always seek advice from a more experienced specialist.

I am a supporter of large discussions in the council, especially if the case is difficult.

If there are several treatment options, then the decision should be made jointly with the patient, taking into account all the nuances and peculiarities. But it should be borne in mind that patients are overly emotional and do not have professional skills and knowledge. Most often, there are clear rules (protocols, as they are called), in accordance with which treatment tactics are developed and offered to the patient.

So, if a person has peritonitis, then I will be very persistent.

I am always in touch with the patient so that he feels calmer. Most patients call on the eve of the operation to once again be convinced of the correct decision and to get a boost of confidence and calmness. And this only increases the degree of trust in each other, and, as a result, improves the results of treatment.

When we perform bariatric surgeries, we always focus exclusively on medical indications. This is definitely not the kind of procedure that can be carried out for the sake of the patient's harmony and the pursuit of some ideal figure imposed by society.

When patients wake up after anesthesia and usually the first thing they say is: "Is that all?".

Thanks to timely diagnosis, many operations can be avoided.

We still do not know everything about the body, I think that almost every organ still keeps its secret. And even the appendix is needed for something.

In recent years, there have been no changes with the scalpel, except for the fact that it has become disposable.

If I don’t have modern technology at hand, I’ll be upset, but I can still do most of the operations. Still, surgery is still largely dependent on the hands, knowledge and experience of the surgeon, and not only on technology.

After a long operation, I want to sit down and have a cup of tea.

If I operate, I do not feel tired, it is felt after.

Sometimes I dream about the operations that I will carry out, especially difficult cases.

I had a period in my life when I taught. I remember this time with warmth, but I like practical surgery much more.

In students, I wanted to see responsibility, a desire to help and a willingness to learn. This is very important for a future doctor.
