Ukrainian surgeons are performing a strenuous new wartime medical procedure: providing facial reconstruction surgery for people injured in Russian attacks.
leaving 8,006 dead and 13,287 injured. At least 487 children have been killed and 954 injured since the war began.
Gradually, the surgeons became more accustomed to the work. Still, there were other things they could not prepare for, like when Russian troops opened fire outside the hospital. No one was injured in the attacks because they were hiding in the basement, but the bullet holes in the hospital’s exterior can still be seen today, and the work the war brings is unrelenting.
A 20-minute drive from Okhmatdyt Hospital, at Anacostia Clinic, a Border Control worker named Ruslan is undergoing a round of scar removal treatment following a shrapnel injury he received at the beginning of the war. He was in a building in Kharkiv when Russian forces struck it with a Kalibr Missile, killing three of his colleagues. The impact of the attack caused Ruslan to lose consciousness, but when he came to, he felt a large piece of shrapnel lodged in the right side of his face.
No Scar is a network of more than 40 plastic surgeons who offer their services free to some of the many who need scar removal treatment due to wartime injuries. The treatment begins in the months following facial reconstruction surgeries and stitches removal, and involves non-invasive techniques of removing layers of scar tissue that haven’t healed. With No Scar, Ruslan has been able to regain a slight amount of the sight in his right eye.
Osadcha was stationed in Donetsk when her life was changed forever after a Russian attack. At the time, she was treating a soldier in the back of a medical van along with an assistant. A driver was sitting at the steering wheel, transporting the four to the nearest military hospital. “The closest enemy was 700 meters away from the vehicle… and [the van] fired upon by a guided anti-military tank weapon,” she said.
