Obtaining a spot for surgery can take months for patients in northern Syria, a known and expected challenge for all patients requiring surgical intervention. However, what cannot be anticipated is the need for emergency lifesaving surgical procedures that can affect anyone, regardless of age or health, as seen in these two emergency cases from the Orthopedic Emergency Surgery Department at one of SEMA's hospitals.
The first case involves a 45-year-old woman who suffered a fracture in the left thigh bone due to a fall. Similarly, the second case involves a 12-year-old adolescent who also experienced a fall resulting in a thigh bone fracture.
Both patients underwent urgent surgical procedures to stabilize the fractures with an appropriate plate after radiological and laboratory investigations. They were discharged after a period of recovery in the hospital's wards.
We extend our gratitude to all those who donated to sponsor surgical procedures, especially for those in urgent need who lack the financial means to undergo them.
Your donation saves the lives of these individuals, so we urge you to continue your support and generous contributions.
