Dear Tubers, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and participation.

Thanks to the funds raised, special titanium plates were purchased for Salim, without which the surgery would not have been possible.

At the end of October, the boy underwent reconstructive surgery on his skull.

Surgeons carefully restored the bones to their proper shape and secured them with titanium plates, creating conditions for normal head growth and brain development.

The surgery was successful.

Salim is now feeling well, developing according to his age, actively growing, and bringing joy to his loved ones.

Thank you for supporting our patients!

About the campaign

Salim has craniosynostosis. Titanium implants are needed for the surgery!

Salim is three months old. He has craniosynostosis. This disease is characterized by a disruption in the development of elastic connective tissue that holds the bones of the skull together and allows them to grow as the brain volume increases. The tissue ossifies prematurely and prevents the head from growing.

For this reason, the natural growth and development of the brain is forced to disrupt the anatomically correct shape of the head, which experiences pressure and shifts the bones of the face. Such a serious disease can seriously harm the physical and intellectual development of the child.

The progression of the disease can only be prevented and its consequences eliminated by surgery using special titanium plates.

Neurosurgeons will have to disassemble the skull into individual bones and connect them at some distance with special titanium plates.

Due to such gaps between the bones, elastic connective tissue is forced to form, which will allow the head to grow even after the plates are removed.

The family cannot purchase such plates on their own. Let's take care of the boy Salim and help him get well.
