There are no threats to the life of Ogtay Gyulalyev - doctor (Video - UPDATED)

Baku /30.10.19 / Turan: The neurosurgery operation on human rights activist Ogtay Gyulalyev ended successfully. This was reported to reporters by a doctor of medical sciences, Professor Adul Geybulla, who participated in the operation.

According to the doctor, the vessels of the brain in Gyulalyev were damaged, resulting in blood leakage. The collecting blood caused a hematoma. During the operation, blood from the brain was pumped out.

“Now the main thing is to carry out resuscitation and then rehabilitation measures. The effects of brain compression have yet to be assessed. However, the body is young and there is hope for recovery. The most important thing is to carry out rehabilitation and remove the patient from a critical condition,” the doctor said. —21C--
