Since Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine, which in reality began in 2014, microsurgeons have also been actively involved in treating war-related injuries. As part of a multidisciplinary team, they have already performed more than 150\u00a0reconstructive surgeries on Ukrainian soldiers at the East Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>All patients arriving from Ukraine underwent a thorough health evaluation at the EMPAC, including various laboratory tests and the examination for the possible presence of multidrug-resistant infections, as they can rapidly emerge and spread in wartime conditions.
