Field hospital work and 2,300+ lives saved
The doctor’s work in Artsakh in 2020 became a separate clinical school: extreme workload, around-the-clock surgery, decisions with no room for error, and a team saving severely wounded soldiers.
What happened
During the war, the doctor helped organize and operate a field hospital. The team treated severe facial, jaw, and soft-tissue injuries, stabilized patients, and performed urgent surgery under severe time and equipment constraints.
Why it matters today
This background shapes the surgical thinking needed for complex reconstruction: assess risks quickly, restore function, preserve tissue, and plan treatment when standard solutions are not enough.
Connection to 3D reconstruction
Trauma and field surgery experience directly connects with modern 3D facial reconstruction: bone loss, orbital defects, jaw defects, zygomatic arch reconstruction, and revision operations after failed treatment.
This experience complements the doctor’s international profile: IAOMS Fellow, congress presentations, and patients from multiple countries.
