They removed metallic fragments from my core

Serhiy Melnyk, a Ukrainian serviceman, shares his experience of being injured by shrapnel while fighting in eastern Ukraine. He demonstrates the piece of shrapnel, which was lodged in his heart, and explains that it grazed his kidney, pierced his lung, and reached his heart. According to Ukrainian military medics, shrapnel wounds have become more common due to the rise of drone warfare in Ukraine. Dr. Serhiy Maksymenko, a cardiovascular surgeon, explains that a new piece of medical technology called a magnetic extractor was used to remove the shrapnel from Serhiy’s heart. This minimally invasive surgery has changed the face of front-line medicine in Ukraine.
