Intraoperative carotid artery surgery injuries in Uzbekistan: a comprehensive review
Mukhammadieva Gulshakhnoza , Master of general surgery, UzbekistanAbstract
Carotid artery surgeries, including carotid endarterectomy and stenting, are critical procedures for stroke prevention. Despite their importance, intraoperative injuries remain a significant challenge, leading to complications such as embolism, vessel rupture, and nerve damage. This article reviews the incidence and management of such injuries, with a particular focus on Uzbekistan. It highlights local challenges such as equipment shortages and varying levels of surgeon expertise. Recommendations are provided for improving surgical outcomes by addressing these challenges and investing in better training and resources.
