By Polina Ivancha: Such new methods are not just designed and patented, they are applied in operation rooms saving thousands of little hearts.

Vitaly Dedovich, the head of cardiosurgery department at the Republican Center of Children's Surgery: "Luckily most of the tumors that the newborns have are benign that is why the operations have no complications."

The center has performed operations on 5,000 kids since January 1, 2015. All the Belarusian patients are treated free. Mini invasive operations are often applied.

Konstantin Drozdovsky, director of the Republican Center of Children's Surgery: "While traditional methods involved a series of several operations, this year our specialists developed a new, faster method of treatment."

Progress has also been achieved in treatment of electrical and chemical burns. Russian and Ukrainian surgeons come to see the performance of such operations.
