During the surgical process, announced by the Tatarstan Minister of Health Almir Abashev, surgeons performed a laparoscopic reconstructive intervention by joining the damaged ureter with the healthy one. According to a statement from the hospital, the surgical procedure was successful and the normal function of the kidney was restored.
