Regional hospitals in Kosovo are facing a lack of carbon dioxide(CO2), which serves to fill the stomach with gas so the visibility can be better. With the lack of this gas, the Laparascopia can't work, (the performance of small-cut abdominal operations, thanks to an optical system that is located in the abdominal system)
The director of the Gjakova Hospital, Ahmet Aslani, has told of “Zrin” that due to the lack of carbon dioxide without which the Laparascopia cannot work, they have had to postpone patients' operations, whose condition has not been emergency.
According to him, emergency cases are performed with plastic surgery.
Only when we're missing something when we don't have any products, because otherwise there's no waiting list for operatives. If there's no carbon dioxide, I can't work Laparascopia, then wait for the patient to be released. But constantly as there's a waiting list in other centres, there's no”, he said.
