[00:00:18] Good day, dear viewers, it's time for the news, these are today's
[00:00:21] events.
[00:00:26] The fires in the Trebinje area continue to burn, firefighters are being assisted by a helicopter
[00:00:29] of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
[00:00:30] Herzegovina.
[00:00:34] The continuation of the Donja Jablanica operation, the Federal Police Administration is seizing documents
[00:00:38] from nine companies in four
[00:00:39] cantons.
[00:00:43] Tragedy in Pakistan, 14 babies died in a large fire that
[00:00:47] broke out in a hospital due to a malfunction in the cooling
[00:00:50] system.
[00:00:54] The fire in the Trebinje area is still active after about 50
[00:00:58] firefighters and locals managed to extinguish the fire in the villages of Kremen
[00:01:02] do and Željevo last night. The fire near Željevo has reactivated, said
[00:01:06] Stevan Bekan from the Trebinje fire department. He says that the fire threatens to
[00:01:09] spread towards the city of Trebinje's water reservoir, as well as towards Bijela
[00:01:13] Gora, where there is a high forest. All available forces are on the ground,
[00:01:17] the fire has been extinguished since this morning by a helicopter of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and
[00:01:20] Herzegovina. During the day, the city of Trebinje's emergency headquarters
[00:01:24] will also meet to consider further steps due to the fires with
[00:01:27] which they have been battling for days, because the
[00:01:30] firefighters are tired and exhausted.
[00:01:32] exhausted.
[00:01:36] The current situation, fortunately, and thanks to the great efforts of our unit members, last night we
[00:01:39] saved this part that threatened to
[00:01:43] cross over the straw towards Gučina, so you saw in the
[00:01:46] evening and with the help of air tractors and
[00:01:49] with the help of helicopters of the armed forces, for which we are very
[00:01:53] grateful, along with, of course, after that, our infantry, as they say, had to
[00:01:56] cross all that terrain. There were...
[00:02:00] Certainly about twenty volunteers, and
[00:02:03] a big thank you to them for coming to help, it is being protected,
[00:02:06] one branch is going towards Željevo, that represents a great danger for us,
[00:02:10] there was a helicopter of the armed forces working for almost
[00:02:14] in principle that four hours this morning, so we are fighting, the fire is approaching the road,
[00:02:17] down towards
[00:02:19] Željevo.
[00:02:21] In Serbia, there are dozens of active fires, according to MUP data, a total of 35.
[00:02:25] The biggest challenge is still in Deliblatska
[00:02:29] Peščara. Although, as stated in the MUP statement, all settlements in that
[00:02:33] area have been defended. Officials on the ground, however, state that
[00:02:37] the rain has significantly improved the situation, although firefighters,
[00:02:40] volunteer societies and citizens are continuously on duty there.
[00:02:44] In the fire on the tables, the wind continues to cause problems for firefighters,
[00:02:47] rescuers and all teams on the ground. So far, the fire has
[00:02:51] affected about 200 hectares. Russian helicopters from the European Union
[00:02:55] are putting out the fire in Deliblatska
[00:02:57] Peščara today. Definitely. You are going through difficult
[00:03:01] moments this year with fires, that's why we came to
[00:03:04] help as much as we can. We saw that almost half of
[00:03:08] the Deliblatska Peščara burned and we know that this is not the only
[00:03:12] fire. We also had several flights around Niš in the
[00:03:15] south. We have information that there are two more fires in other
[00:03:19] locations. We have good communication with Serbian
[00:03:22] pilots and we have information.
[00:03:25] What's more, there is a helicopter in the air that is making an assessment and coordinating
[00:03:29] us accordingly.
[00:03:36] The request of the defense of war criminal Ratko Mladić for
[00:03:39] early release on humanitarian grounds was again rejected. The defense asked
[00:03:43] that Mladić be transferred to a hospital or palliative care facility in
[00:03:47] Serbia, citing his serious health condition and
[00:03:50] the need for more family presence. According to the medical
[00:03:54] report, Mladić's condition is rapidly deteriorating, he has entered, as it
[00:03:57] is pointed out, the final stage of his life and it is estimated that death
[00:04:01] could occur in the coming weeks. The president of the court
[00:04:04] concluded that humanitarian reasons justify early release.
[00:04:08] Let's recall, Mladić was definitively sentenced to
[00:04:11] life imprisonment in 2021 for genocide in Srebrenica, persecution
[00:04:15] of Bosniaks and Croats, terrorizing the citizens of Sarajevo, and
[00:04:18] taking UNPROFOR members
[00:04:20] hostage.
[00:04:25] The investigation in the Donja Jablanica case, which refers to
[00:04:28] the catastrophic floods and landslides from October
[00:04:30] 2024, where the total number of victims
[00:04:34] in the floods was 27 people, has continued. By order of
[00:04:37] the special department of the Supreme Court of the Federation and under the supervision of the Federal
[00:04:42] culture in unculture, who needs it, but also Prosecutor's Office, members of the FUP are carrying out activities in four cantons, namely
[00:04:46] Herzegovina-Neretva, Zenica-Doboj, Tuzla, and
[00:04:49] Sarajevo Canton. At the locations of nine business entities, documents are being seized
[00:04:53] that could serve as evidence in further
[00:04:56] investigation, the FUP announced. announced.
[00:05:02] As part of the EUFOR Quick Response 2026 exercise, Italian
[00:05:06] paratroopers landed today in the Polog area near
[00:05:09] Mostar. The attractive aerial sight is part of a larger operation
[00:05:12] that tests the ability of rapid arrival and deployment of reserve
[00:05:16] forces in our country. The exercise gathers military forces that arrive in our
[00:05:20] country from different directions, and their task is to confirm EUFOR's readiness
[00:05:24] for a quick response in case of need. Đenana Kaminić
[00:05:27] Puc has the details. Puc.
[00:05:31] The sky above Polog near Mostar was filled today with parachutes of Italian
[00:05:34] soldiers who jumped from an airplane as part of the large
[00:05:38] EUFOR Quick Response 2026 operation.
[00:05:41] One after another. Italian paratroopers exited the plane, and after
[00:05:45] a few moments above Polog, parachutes opened. These shots best
[00:05:48] show what a part of the operation looks like, which is aimed at
[00:05:52] rapid deployment and strengthening of EUFOR forces in Bosnia
[00:05:55] and Herzegovina. The goal of the exercise, as stated by EUFOR, is to
[00:05:58] confirm the operational readiness of their forces and the ability
[00:06:02] to react quickly and deploy additional forces in
[00:06:05] Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:06:09] We had a platoon of paratroopers who landed
[00:06:12] in this area from an airplane that took off
[00:06:16] from a military airport in Pisa, Italy, so only
[00:06:20] a few hours ago we had this activity that we
[00:06:23] successfully carried out, the plane took off from
[00:06:26] Italy, came here to the area of Bosnia, Bosnia and
[00:06:29] Herzegovina, this is a demonstration of our
[00:06:33] capabilities that we can, therefore, in
[00:06:35] case uh, in case of need,
[00:06:39] very quickly, therefore, engage forces that can arrive
[00:06:42] from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The exercise Quick Response 2026
[00:06:45] is held from August 22 to September 3. It is an
[00:06:49] annual planned exercise by which EUFOR checks and
[00:06:52] trains its ability to quickly strengthen
[00:06:56] its presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For this purpose,
[00:06:59] reserve forces from partner countries have arrived in our country
[00:07:03] by various means, by land, sea, air and
[00:07:06] rail. Italian forces are part of that reserve reinforcement.
[00:07:10] Their arrival and today's parachute
[00:07:12] deployment show how important speed, precision,
[00:07:16] and coordination are in a situation where it is necessary to quickly reinforce
[00:07:20] the presence of international forces. Đenana Kaminić Puc,

[00:07:24] Mostar.
[00:07:27] Elektroprivreda Bosne i Hercegovine announced that emissions of solid
[00:07:31] particles from block 4 of the Tuzla thermal power plant have been brought within
[00:07:34] the limits of projected values since this morning. The increase in emissions in previous days
[00:07:37] was caused by technical problems in the ash transport system,
[00:07:41] they stated. In previous days, hundreds of citizens gathered,
[00:07:44] demanding an urgent reaction from the authorities. Elektroprivreda
[00:07:48] states that they monitored emissions and took necessary measures throughout the entire period, and
[00:07:51] that they will continue to monitor the operation of the plant. Elektroprivreda Bosne
[00:07:55] i Hercegovine states that from 2024 to mid-
[00:07:58] this year, it has invested 180 million marks
[00:08:02] of its own funds in the maintenance and overhaul of the Tuzla and
[00:08:05] Kakanj thermal power plants, reducing emissions and harmonizing with ecological
[00:08:08] standards. According to their expectations, the deficit
[00:08:11] of electricity in the next year should be about 36
[00:08:15] percent lower than this year, with a reduction in dependence on
[00:08:18] imports.
[00:08:22] The anniversary of the biggest mining disaster in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:08:26] was marked today in Mramor near Tuzla, with the presence of numerous officials and
[00:08:29] citizens. On this day 36 years ago, in the Dobrnja Jug
[00:08:33] pit, there was a coal dust explosion, in which
[00:08:36] 180 miners died. It was the youngest
[00:08:40] shift of the then mine, the average age of the victims was
[00:08:43] only 27 years. The only surviving miner, Smail
[00:08:47] Imamović, suffered serious injuries at the time, and still bears the consequences of the accident
[00:08:51] today. He spent five days in a state of clinical death. Every August,
[00:08:54] he remembers his deceased
[00:08:56] colleagues.
[00:09:00] That's my toughest month
[00:09:02] of the year, where my emotions
[00:09:06] for my comrades and for myself, as well as
[00:09:10] for the families of my
[00:09:14] deceased comrades, are extremely
[00:09:18] strong. There are deep, deep
[00:09:22] feelings for them.
[00:09:24] Sympathizes.
[00:09:30] At least 14 newborns died when a fire broke out in a state hospital in
[00:09:34] Pakistan's capital, Islamabad,
[00:09:37] caused by a malfunction in the air conditioning system.
[00:09:41] One baby was rescued. This is one of the fires with the highest
[00:09:44] death toll in recent years in that country, where state
[00:09:48] healthcare is subsidized, but facilities lack sufficient resources and
[00:09:52] are overloaded. Oversight bodies often criticize state
[00:09:55] institutions for poor management. Prime Minister
[00:09:58] Sharif ordered authorities to conduct an urgent investigation.
[00:10:12] There was management there, this building is well built. My wife was not well.
[00:10:15] There was no fire security, no good exit there, and the doors were also closed for us. They only opened one door
[00:10:19] for us so that the attendant could take their children.
[00:10:23] The attendant was
[00:10:28] The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and Iran is now setting conditions for
[00:10:32] its reopening. Tehran demands that the United States end
[00:10:36] the war, lift the naval blockade, and resolve the situation in
[00:10:39] Yemen. Iran and Oman are simultaneously negotiating a temporary
[00:10:43] corridor through the Strait and its demining. However, Tehran
[00:10:46] states that American and other military ships will not be
[00:10:50] allowed passage. About a fifth of the world's oil trade passes through Hormuz,
[00:10:54] liquefied. The blockade directly affects global
[00:10:57] energy markets. While Washington announces new sanctions,
[00:11:01] Iran states that it will respond to American pressure by striking at
[00:11:04] their economic
[00:11:05] interests.
[00:11:08] What we have now almost agreed upon is that the route for entering
[00:11:12] the Persian Gulf from the Gulf of Oman will entirely
[00:11:15] pass through the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The exit
[00:11:19] route, i.e., from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman,
[00:11:22] will partly pass through Iran, and the remaining part through
[00:11:26] the territorial waters of Oman. This represents a fundamental change compared to
[00:11:30] the previous
[00:11:31] solution.
[00:11:38] During July and August, a series of nine concerts of Sevdah were held every Wednesday
[00:11:42] in the unique ambiance of the National Monument of Bosnia and
[00:11:45] Herzegovina, Svrzo's House. Damir Imamović, one of the most prominent
[00:11:49] contemporary interpreters of Sevdalinka, performed before the audience, with
[00:11:52] special guest appearances by renowned musicians from our country, the region,
[00:11:56] and the world. Combining top-notch music, cultural and historical heritage, and
[00:12:00] an authentic Sarajevo atmosphere, the project enriched
[00:12:03] the summer cultural offer of the capital and contributed to the affirmation of
[00:12:06] Sevdalinka.
[00:12:11] we were a little apprehensive, will people be interested, will we bore them
[00:12:14] anymore, right? Will we manage to reach
[00:12:18] city guests, who usually come, stay for two and a half days or one
[00:12:21] day, so will they make it to the concert, or not.
[00:12:25] This and I think that we really succeeded
[00:12:28] again, maybe even went a step further than last
[00:12:31] year in terms of the number of guests, in terms of the number of
[00:12:34] mm audience and what is, of course,
[00:12:38] the most beautiful thing is that this year I had a different
[00:12:42] guest for every concert.
[00:12:46] From that idea to realization, I have 18 concerts in total,
[00:12:49] more than 4,500 visitors. We record
[00:12:53] in the Museum of Sarajevo
[00:12:55] a greater public response, audience coming,
[00:12:58] visitors, compared to previous years, and
[00:13:02] what I can really say with satisfaction is that this house
[00:13:05] has come alive.
[00:13:08] The music world has lost one of its biggest stars. Legendary
[00:13:12] American country singer Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80
[00:13:15] after a short battle with cancer. Dolly Parton left
[00:13:19] behind an exceptional musical career. She is considered
[00:13:22] the best-selling female country artist of all time, with more than
[00:13:26] 160 million albums sold worldwide. She stepped onto the
[00:13:30] scene with the album Hello I'm Dolly
[00:13:32] in 1967. And over the decades, she became
[00:13:36] the author and performer of numerous timeless hits.
[00:13:56] and continues to be with all of us, everyone
[00:13:59] loves Dolly, and Dolly is everywhere,
[00:14:03] and um, I feel like now, more than ever, she is going to touch
[00:14:06] more hearts where she is than
[00:14:10] when she was here on earth, we got the world part a private collection
[00:14:14] of her outfits and clothes and wigs
[00:14:18] and shoes and she comes in trurat and
[00:14:21] everything, spent about the hours in the house.
[00:14:26] Until the end of the news, also watch the weather forecast.
[00:14:30] Greetings, dear viewers, we are counting the last days of August,
[00:14:34] but summer is not giving up, it will play out in the coming days, temperatures
[00:14:37] will go up to 40° in the continuation of the week,
[00:14:41] that's why the Federal Hydrometeorological Institute issued the highest
[00:14:44] red warning level for heat. The atmosphere will stabilize in the coming
[00:14:48] days as the anticyclone strengthens again, and we notice that
[00:14:52] the clouds have also thinned out currently
[00:14:56] compared to the morning hours, so the rest of the day will mostly be sunny
[00:15:00] weather, the wind will remain mostly weak, only in the
[00:15:03] northeast, north of Bosnia, a moderate
[00:15:06] northwesterly wind is blowing, all of which of course creates a picture of temperatures,
[00:15:10] we expect it to be warmest in the Herzegovina area up to
[00:15:13] 36, 37, in Bosnia mostly from 26 to
[00:15:17] 31, then in the coming days only warmer due to the inflow of very
[00:15:20] warm air from the southwest, on Friday we expect
[00:15:24] temperatures up to 40, most likely in the Herzegovina
[00:15:28] area, then the weekend brings again somewhat more variable,
[00:15:31] unstable weather, especially during Saturday, expect
[00:15:35] rain and thunderstorms with lightning.
[00:15:39] That's all for this news overview, stay with N1, thanks for your attention, goodbye!
[00:16:03] The weather forecast is brought to you by your ice cream destination,
[00:16:06] Tropik. and Red Apple.
[00:16:20] On Thursday, sunny, very warm weather, temperatures
[00:16:23] rising, the peak of heat is expected on Friday, when
[00:16:27] 40° is expected in some places.
[00:16:30] Over Bosnia and Herzegovina, the influence of warm and stable air still
[00:16:33] remains, so the weather will be mostly sunny and
[00:16:36] warmer. Air continues to arrive, and therefore
[00:16:40] temperatures will be very high in the coming days, mostly
[00:16:43] sunny on Thursday with little to moderate cloudiness, light to moderate
[00:16:47] westerly and northwesterly wind. Morning
[00:16:50] minimum temperatures in Bosnia from 13 to 18, in the south in
[00:16:53] Herzegovina from 20 to 24 degrees.

[00:16:59] 35, in the south even warmer, temperature up to
[00:17:03] 38 degrees. On Friday,
[00:17:05] sunny, hot, temperatures. Temperatures on Friday will be from 35
[00:17:09] to even 40 degrees, in the south of Herzegovina in some places even

[00:17:16] unstable with transient showers with thunderstorms across the country,
[00:17:20] strong gusts of wind are expected locally, although it remains warm, temperatures
[00:17:23] up to 35, in the south up to
[00:17:26] 39. On Sunday, then more sun, possible local
[00:17:30] showers, primarily in Herzegovina in the central
[00:17:33] eastern parts of Bosnia, and the temperature on Sunday will be
[00:17:36] mostly... a few degrees lower,

[00:18:05] Who justified the enormous salaries, is there any principledness, or
[00:18:09] among politicians, the saying goes, there are no eternal
[00:18:12] friends or enemies, only eternal interests. For whom
[00:18:15] does he work, if he destroys the state? We monitor the work of institutions, because
[00:18:19] everything starts
[00:18:20] from there.
[00:18:27] Without a doubt, your trust, your support, we open the most important
[00:18:30] topics, from crime, corruption and constitutional issues. Our goal is
[00:18:34] a more just society, a society tailored to every individual in Bosnia and
[00:18:38] Herzegovina. Through the fight for
[00:18:41] your rights, we always walk with you. In your name, we search
[00:18:45] for answers. With you, we explore.
[00:18:48] Your
[00:18:52] concern for a better, safer environment, the preservation
[00:18:55] of natural resources, the improvement of mutual relations, is our
[00:18:59] focus, because we too are part of Bosnian-Herzegovinian
[00:19:02] society.
[00:21:11] Unfortunately, cancers of the digestive system,
[00:21:13] obesity, liver diseases are breaking records, but
[00:21:17] modern surgery offers solutions that change the course of
[00:21:20] treatment, from minimally invasive laparoscopic
[00:21:24] procedures to complex oncological operations, all the way
[00:21:27] to bariatric surgery which can lead to
[00:21:31] remission of type 2 diabetes. In the next few minutes,
[00:21:34] find out what medicine offers patients today in
[00:21:38] one place at Medicana Hospital in Sarajevo and
[00:21:41] the most modern methods
[00:21:43] spoken by Primary Doctor Igor Gavrić, specialist
[00:21:47] in general abdominal surgery. Good morning and welcome. Good morning
[00:21:51] to you and your viewers. So, to start,
[00:21:54] I would like to tell the viewers, what
[00:21:56] does modern general and
[00:22:00] abdominal surgery mean today, how much has
[00:22:03] it changed, what does that tertiary
[00:22:06] level of healthcare entail, what complex diseases
[00:22:09] and operations can a patient today
[00:22:13] resolve very simply already
[00:22:16] at Medicana Hospital in Sarajevo? A very complex
[00:22:19] question." Thank you for that question. Surgery has advanced,
[00:22:23] it has advanced a lot in the last 50 years
[00:22:26] and practically you have surgeon colleagues
[00:22:30] who are now only trained and educated in one area due to
[00:22:33] the technology that has basically
[00:22:35] developed. In the past, surgery involved the whole body,
[00:22:39] surgeons dealt with all organs as much as they could help,
[00:22:42] but now technology has reached such a level
[00:22:46] that we basically have subspecialists for
[00:22:49] practically every organ. Abdominal surgery,
[00:22:52] i.e., digestive surgery, has its own sub-chapter, so you have
[00:22:56] only uh colleagues who deal with coloproctology,
[00:22:59] i.e., colon operations,
[00:23:02] hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery, i.e., liver and pancreas surgery. For example, I am
[00:23:06] a surgeon who remained in the domain of dealing with all these
[00:23:10] areas and has undergone training for each of these areas
[00:23:13] separately, so Medicana with its uh, with
[00:23:16] its staff led by me offers practically all
[00:23:20] operations in digestive surgery, mm, what has
[00:23:23] changed compared to classical surgery is the method of
[00:23:27] the surgical technique itself and the approach itself. In the past, these were
[00:23:30] large, large incisions, large operations were performed,
[00:23:34] but now practically with a minimally invasive approach we reach
[00:23:37] what used to be the more incisions the better surgeon, now
[00:23:41] it's somehow the smaller the incision, the smaller the incision the more experienced, yes, but
[00:23:45] sometimes it's not possible because of you and yours.
[00:23:49] that it can be done, especially because the region
[00:23:54] of the Balkans, that is specific, it is not only Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the entire region
[00:23:58] of the Balkans is so specific that people come
[00:24:01] in some terminal stages of tumor
[00:24:04] disease, when these are basically diseases, when these tumors are huge,
[00:24:08] when they are in the fourth stage and when practically
[00:24:12] you cannot adequately remove them laparoscopically, i.e., with a minimal
[00:24:15] approach, and the essence of oncological,
[00:24:18] i.e., tertiary
[00:24:21] level surgery is such that it is removed in healthy
[00:24:25] tissue, i.e., en bloc with adequate lymphadenectomy because
[00:24:29] cancer is not treated without adequate lymphadenectomy
[00:24:32] yes systematically, but also
[00:24:35] legally, preventive medicine is not our strong suit, but we don't
[00:24:39] like to visit doctors,
[00:24:41] you rarely do that, especially older
[00:24:45] generations, and they have immense
[00:24:49] fear of that, but here, to make it easier for
[00:24:52] them, what types of operations and procedures
[00:24:55] do you perform, from classical and minimally
[00:24:58] invasive to some
[00:25:01] more complex ones,
[00:25:04] how much easier are they
[00:25:07] to recover from today than was
[00:25:11] the case, say, just ten years ago?
[00:25:14] Of course, you see, at Medihana Hospital, both secondary and
[00:25:18] tertiary levels of operative procedures are offered
[00:25:21] concerning abdominal surgery, so
[00:25:24] within the secondary level, minimally invasive, and this is
[00:25:27] the standard for gallbladder operations, hernia operations,
[00:25:31] appendix operations, hiatal hernia operations are
[00:25:34] practically performed with a laparoscopic approach, very, very
[00:25:38] rarely are classical operations of that
[00:25:41] level performed. As for benign colon diseases, they are
[00:25:45] also performed with a minimally invasive approach, or for some initial colon
[00:25:49] tumors. However, other operations that are quite
[00:25:53] complex, that require reconstruction,
[00:25:57] of blood vessels, that require greater access, these are liver
[00:26:00] surgery, pancreas surgery, esophagus surgery
[00:26:03] or advanced cancers, small
[00:26:06] pelvis, mm, they are performed with open methods,
[00:26:10] however, the most modern uh,
[00:26:12] devices are used, the most modern suture
[00:26:15] material is used, and practically, uh, with
[00:26:19] the technologies that are currently used in
[00:26:22] medicine, both worldwide and at Medicana, patients
[00:26:26] recover much faster from such procedures. Sometimes
[00:26:30] patients recovered for... several
[00:26:32] weeks after those exact operations, now
[00:26:36] practically seven to 10 days, if everything is fine, they go
[00:26:39] home, and they get out of bed, yes, and after, for example, gallbladder
[00:26:42] removal, appendectomy, or appendicitis, or
[00:26:46] hiatal hernia or obesity
[00:26:49] surgery, they practically go home the next day or the day after
[00:26:53] tomorrow, yes, uh, we mentioned
[00:26:56] that prevention is most important, especially
[00:27:00] in the field of oncological surgery,
[00:27:03] uh, when you talk about
[00:27:06] cancers of the digestive tract, how important
[00:27:09] are early diagnosis and
[00:27:13] timely treatment, especially surgical,
[00:27:16] and what symptoms
[00:27:20] should be an alarm for the arrival yes, you see, people
[00:27:23] listen to their bodies, we all know very well what those alarms are,
[00:27:27] we feel it, but we ignore it,
[00:27:29] unfortunately, don't ignore it, don't be... this
[00:27:33] afraid, that's to say in a common way,
[00:27:36] everything that is at the beginning is curable completely,
[00:27:39] you have less stress for your
[00:27:42] body, a smaller type of surgical procedure, and
[00:27:46] that procedure offers you healing. However, when
[00:27:49] you reach advanced stages of the disease, when
[00:27:52] you have multi-organ disease, systemic disease, then
[00:27:56] in principle we are talking about
[00:27:59] prolonging life, some kind of chronic disease and...
[00:28:02] a permanent struggle with something that could have been cured. And
[00:28:06] unfortunately, there's a saying by old surgeons that says a small
[00:28:09] finding, a big surgery, a big finding, a small
[00:28:13] surgery. Unfortunately,
[00:28:16] truth applies even today,
[00:28:19] because with some enormous radicality if you have
[00:28:23] advanced disease, cancer in the digestive
[00:28:26] system, you practically cannot cure the patient.
[00:28:29] And since we're talking about these small and large... surgical
[00:28:33] procedures, can cancer today be uh, treated
[00:28:37] laparoscopically, and when is that big
[00:28:40] operation necessary? You see, every cancer can be treated
[00:28:43] laparoscopically, but for stage four cancers
[00:28:47] with advanced metastatic disease, I think
[00:28:51] that, I think it's more comfortable
[00:28:54] for the patient and for the surgeon,
[00:28:56] better, in every way
[00:29:00] this operation is safer. To perform that operation open,
[00:29:04] with an open method, I advise my patients,
[00:29:07] I present to them both sides,
[00:29:11] the benefits, because in principle that doesn't play a role anymore, but
[00:29:14] what plays a role is that you came to be operated on, to try
[00:29:18] to cure yourself of such a terrible disease. However, if the
[00:29:22] cancer is caught in time in some
[00:29:25] early stage, first stage or second stage,
[00:29:29] it's clear that laparoscopy is very elegant and for the patient...
[00:29:33] and for and for the surgeon, what is becoming
[00:29:36] the standard in the world, which unfortunately is not yet in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
[00:29:40] in Mediacana in Sarajevo, although the Mediacana group has it, is robotic
[00:29:43] surgery that expands that range of operative, minimally
[00:29:47] invasive approaches to digestive surgery.
[00:29:50] But until robots are acquired in Bosnia and
[00:29:53] Herzegovina, we have exclusively laparoscopy, which
[00:29:57] prevents you from certain procedures, because you work in principle in
[00:30:00] two axes. Whereas with a robot you practically have
[00:30:04] 360 this degree access to the operative
[00:30:07] field. Abdominal surgery
[00:30:11] which you specialized in includes very
[00:30:14] complex procedures on the liver, bile ducts,
[00:30:18] pancreas, we often hear, today it's
[00:30:21] very uh, very common
[00:30:24] disease, very common organs that
[00:30:28] get sick.
[00:30:30] Uh, what diseases are most often operated on? How important is a
[00:30:34] multidisciplinary approach for such patients, which
[00:30:37] you have in Medicana, several different
[00:30:40] specialists, i.e. doctors? Of course, I will only focus on
[00:30:44] oncological diseases in principle, you have a whole spectrum of benign diseases
[00:30:47] that need to be operated on and malignant ones. However,
[00:30:50] operations in hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery are very complex operations, not
[00:30:54] all surgeons perform them, we must say not all abdominal
[00:30:57] surgeons. They are performed by...
