  The staff of the department developed new methods of treatment and prevention of acute venous thrombosis, proposed and implemented new methods of surgical interventions in practical healthcare. They carry out a lot of educational and methodological, scientific and medical work. He has published over 900 scientific papers on topical issues of surgery, including 6 monographs. 38 innovative proposals were proposed, 27 patents were obtained mainly in vascular surgery.                                   About  sixteen  collections of scientific papers were published under the title edition including: “Medical science — practical health care”, “Physiology and Pathology of the Cardiovascular System”, ” Theses of the All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference dedicated to the 75-95 anniversary of Askerkhanov R. P, 26 methodological recommendations were prepared.

   The clinic has developed new surgical interventions and introduced well-known high-tech operations in the practical health care of the Republic of Dagestan over the past 10 years, including: a method of local thrombolytic therapy using paravasal instillations of a therapeutic mixture at  patients with acute superficial and deep vein thrombosis, a method of venous thrombectomy from an extraperitoneal pararectal access using an original thrombextractor of its own design, a method of intra-arterial perfusion of perfluorane in critical ischemia and diabetic foot. The variant anatomy of the deep femoral vein and the functional state of its valves in healthy individuals and patients with varicose veins were studied. There were given a description of the typical locations of its valves, indicating the topographical landmarks and the frequency of detection.

 A method of retrograde phlebography has been developed and implemented, which makes it possible to increase the detection of deep femoral vein valve failure and predict its development after surgery. A method of extravasal valve correction using a subcutaneous autovene on the “leg” and a method of extravasal valve correction with a circular suture has been modified.

  For the first time, a method of sclerosurgical treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities was developed and introduced into clinical practice, which unlike the known methods of sclerotherapy, allows sclerobliteration of the trunk of the saphenous vein without crossectomy, as well as without the use of general or peridural anesthesia.

For the first time, there were introduced next  methods in the practical healthcare of the Republic of Dagestan: method   of aortoventriculography and coronarography, implantation of pacemakers, the method of retrograde iliocavagraphy with implantation of a cavafilter into the inferior vena cava, the method of endovascular balloon angioplasty with stenting of the main arteries in thrombotic and occlusive lesions, the method of endovascular occlusion of peripheral arteries in congenital arteriovenous fistulas.

Esophageal surgery has been widely performed for tumor and scar lesions in recent years Operations for dissociation of thoracoesophageal fistulas and surgical treatment of scarring of the trachea were introduced.

The development of new, as well as the introduction of well-known modern methods of diagnosis and treatment in the practical health care of the republic has significantly improved the results of treatment of patients with diseases of the great vessels, lungs, abdominal pathologies, reduced the average stay of the patient in the bed, postoperative complications, mortality.

The development of new, as well as the introduction of well-known modern methods of diagnosis and treatment in the practical health care of the republic has significantly improved the results of treatment of patients with diseases of the great vessels, lungs, abdominal pathologies, reduced the average stay of the patient in the bed, postoperative complications, mortality.

Askerkhanov G. R. has repeatedly represented the Russian medical science at numerous international and All-Russian scientific forums, where he made reports on topical health issues, including: “Local thrombolitic therapy and thrombectomy acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis (Montreal, 1992). “Local thrombolitic therapy venous thrombosis” (Paris, 1993),” Surgical treatment of acute thrombosis of the main veins of the lower extremities”, Moscow, 1995. The therapy  superficial thrombophlibitics” (Basel, 1995). “Local therapy trofic ulcers of the lower extremtics” (London, 1996), “Surgical treatment of lung echinococcosis” (Vienna, 2003), “Catheterial Balloon Scleroobliteration Of Varicose Veins Of The Lower Limbs” (Rio de Janeiro, 2005), “Long saphenous vein saving surgery in patients with intact sapheno-femoral junction and deep vein valves incompetence” (Kyoto, Japan, 2007), “Reflux of the proximal femoral vein valves can be corrected by an angioscopically directed vedensky spiral” (Monaco, 2009), “The frequency of the axial reflex in the great saphenous vein at patients with the primary chronic venous disorders” (Prague, Czech Republic, 2011), “Selection the method of the hernioplasty and it’s influence on the quality of patients life” (Brussels, Belgium, 2012), “Multispiral computer tomography venography in examination of recurrent varicose veins after saphenous preservation surgery” (Boston, USA, 2013).

The staff of the department combines scientific work with practical activities, operates a lot, performs complex reconstructive and plastic operations on the organs of the abdominal and thoracic cavities, major vessels.

So, in recent years, the clinic has introduced: laser obliteration of varicose veins, computer phlebography of the lower extremities, remplantation of severed limbs, coronary angiography and stenting of the coronary, main and peripheral arteries, including in diabetic foot, endovascular occlusion of the uterine arteries in uterine fibroids, laparoscopic hernioplasty and esophagofundoplication according to Nissen, endoscopic removal adrenal tumors, hip replacement, arthroscopic removal of the meniscus, contact and remote lithotripsy of kidney stones, ureter and bladder, papilosphincterotomy and endoscopic removal of choledochal stones.

Modern methods of treating obesity have been successfully implemented: longitudinal resection, gastric balloning and banding, a large range of cosmetic operations. The introduction of original innovative technologies made it possible to improve the results of treatment, reduce the length of stay of patients, reduce complications and mortality by 12.3% compared to similar federal indicators.

In the future, the staff of the medical center, in addition to expanding public medical services, plans to further develop high-tech and expensive methods of diagnosis and treatment. On their basis, the clinic will further develop endovascular and microsurgical methods of treatment.
