Ayder Short-Term Surgical Program | 50 New Smiles, One Incredible Mission

From June 19–29, Operation Smile Ethiopia led a transformative short-term surgical program at Ayder Hospital in Mekelle, bringing together over 50 passionate medical volunteers from across the country and beyond.

Operation Smile Ethiopia is part of the global Operation Smile family, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, safe, and timely cleft lip and palate surgeries, as well as comprehensive cleft care including nutrition, speech therapy, dental support, and psychosocial services.

During this campaign, 80 children were screened and 50 received life changing surgery. Every child’s smile restored was a step toward better health, dignity, and opportunity.

This mission was not only about surgery, it was about hope, equity, and the power of collaboration.

Thank you to the dedicated volunteers, partners, and supporters who made this possible.

Good news from Madda Walabu University's unit of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

A 50 years old male patient presented to Madda Walabu University Goba referral hospital with a gradually progressive painless swelling of lower jaw of 10 years duration.

During the increment of the mass size, he had visited various health centres. Referral to our center was considered for syrgery, however, due to financial constraints, he preferred traditional healers and stayed home with his problem.

As the mass grew to an enormous size, the facial disfigurement and social stigma pushed him into depression. He had also difficulty of feeding and speaking.

Clinical examination revealed a large non tender swelling with variable consistency measuring 25x19 cm involving more than half of mandible, up to the temporal region on the left side with ulceration of overlying skin at body region of mandible.

Intra-orally, there was a soft tissue mass with ulceration of overlying mucosa extending to the midline pushing tongue to the other side.

The left side of maxilla was distorted from pushing effect. There was a mobile teeth attached to distorted maxilla and loss of entire tooth from left side of mandible.

CT-scan revealed a huge expansile lytic lesions involving more than half of mandible. The expended mandibular cortex was partly thickend and partly invisible and internal multilocular cystic. Incisional biopsy revealed a multicystic type of Ameloblastoma.

Hematologic work up was done and all parameters were in normal range

After adequate pre operative evaluation was performed, he was taken up for surgery: a Hemimandibulectomy with the entire soft tissue mass was performed

Due to its enormous size and intra oral mass, tracheostomy was planned for intubation but nasotracheal intubation was successful. Post operatively the patient is in good condition.

ሰላም ዶክተር ለጄ ከተወለደ 8 ወሩ ነው በአንደኛው ኩላሊቱ ውሀ የቋጠረ ነገር አለ ሰርጀሪ መደረግ አለበት አሉኝ:: በእርግዝና ወቅትም ጠቁወውኝ ነበር። አሁን በጣም ጨነቀኝ ከሙያ አንፃር ትንሽ በታብራራልኝ አመሰግናለሁ:: (የወላጅ ጥያቄ)

🌡🌡ውድ ጠያቂያችን ለጥያቄዎ በጣም እናመሰግናለን።
🌡🌡 ልጅዎ የኩላሊት ህመም እንዳለበት ማወቅ እና ቀዶ ጥገና እንደሚያስፈልገው ሲነግርዎ ማሰብና መጨነቅ ፍጹም ተፈጥሯዊ ነው።

🌡🌡ይህ መረጃ ለሌሎች ወላጆችም ጠቃሚ መስሎ ስለታዬን ለወላጆች ተስማሚ በሆነ እይታ ሁሉንም ነገር ደረጃ በደረጃ ለማስረዳት እንሞክራለን።

ጥያቄ 1: ኩላሊት ውሃ መቋጠር (Hydronephrosis) ምንድን ነው?

🌡Hydronephrosis አንድ ወይም ሁለቱም ኩላሊቶች በሽንት ምክንያት ሲያብጡ የሚከሰት ችግር ነው።

🌡 ሽንት የሚመነጨው በኩላሊት ሲሆን ureter በተባለ ትንሽ ቱቦ ውስጥ ይወርዳል እና ከሰውነት ከመውጣቱ በፊት ወደ ፊኛ ውስጥ ይከማቻል።

🌡 የሽንት ፍሰትን የሚዘጋ ወይም እንዲዘገይ ወይም ሽንት ወደ ኋላ እንዲመለስ የሚያደርግ ማንኛውም ችግር ሽንት በኩላሊቱ ውስጥ እንዲከማች ያደርጋል።

🌡ይህም Hydronephrosis ይባላል።

💊በጊዜ ሂደት ይህ ግፊት ካልታከመ ኩላሊቱን ሊዘረጋ እና ሊጎዳ ይችላል።

ጥያቄ 2: ይህ ችግር ለምን ይከሰታል?

🌡የኩላሊት ውሃ የመቋጠር ችግር ብዙ ጊዜ የተለመደ ነው።

🌡 ማለትም ከመወለዱ በፊት ህጻኑ ገና በማህፀን ውስጥ እያለ የሚከሰት ችግር ነውና
🌡እንደ እውነቱ ከሆነ በእርግዝና ወቅት ብዙ ሕፃናት በultrasound ምርመራ ሲያደርጉ የመታየት እድል አለው።

🌡ይህም ቅድመ ወሊድ Hydronephrosis (Antenatal) ይባላል።

🌡በጣም የተለመደው ምክንያት ኩላሊቱ ከሽንት ቱቦ ጋር የሚገናኝበት ቦታ ላይ መጥበብ ወይም መዘጋት ሲሆን ይህም Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) ይባላል።

🌡ይህ በእርግዝና ወቅት ሊከላከሉት የሚችሉት ነገር አይደለም።

🌡 በጽንስ እድገት ጊዜ የሚከሰት እና ያልተለመደ ችግር ነው።

ጥያቄ 3: ይህ ችግር አደገኛ ነው ወይ?

💊እንደ ከባድነቱ ይወሰናል፡-የራሱ የደረጃ አሰጣጥ ሒደት አለው!

🌡ቀላል ከሆ ህጻኑ እያደገ ሲሄድ ችግሩ ​​በራሱ ሊስተካከል ይችላል።
🌡እነዚህ በአብዛኛው በመደበኛ አልትራሳውንድ ክትትል ይደረግላቸዋል።

🌡ከመካከለኛ እስከ ከባድ በሆኑ ሁኔታዎች የቱቦ መዘጋቱ ሽንት እንዲመለስ፣ የኩላሊት እብጠት እንዲባባስ እና የኩላሊት ስራ ከጊዜ ወደ ጊዜ እንዲቀንስ ያደርጋል።

🌡ብዙውን ጊዜ ቀዶ ጥገና የሚያስፈልግባቸው ሁኔታዎች እነዚህ ናቸው።

ጥያቄ 4: ቀዶ ጥገና ለምን ይመከራል?

💊የቀዶ ጥገና ሕክምናን ያስፈልገዋል የምንለው ብዙውን ጊዜ የሚከተሉትን ሲያሟላ ነው:

💉እብጠቱ እየባሰ ሲሔድ

💉ሽንት በትክክል እየፈሰሰ ካልሆነ

💉በተለያዩ ምርመራዎች (እንደ MAG3 ወይም DTPA የኩላሊት ምርመራ) የኩላሊት ተግባር መቀነስ ካሳዬ

💉ህፃኑ በተደጋጋሚ የሽንት ቱቦ ኢንፌክሽን (UTIs) ወይም ህመም ህመም ካጋጠመውና

💉ሌሎች ተጨማሪ ምክንያቶች ካሉ ቀዶ ጥገና ያስፈልገዋል እንላለን!

💊የቀዶ ጥገናው ዓላማ የዘጋውን ክፍል ማስወገድ እና ሽንት ከኩላሊት ወደ ፊኛ በነፃነት እንዲፈስ ማድረግ ሲሆን ይህም ኩላሊት እንዳይጎዳ ይከላከላል።

ጥያቄ 5: ቀዶ ጥገናው ምንን ያካትታል?

💊ቀዶ ጥገና Pyeloplasty ይባላል።

💊የሚከተሉትን ያጠቃልላል:

💉💉የጠበበውን ክፍል በማስወገድ
💉💉ሰፊ መጋጠሚያ ለመፍጠር ጤናማ የሆኑትን ጫፎች እንደገና ማገናኘት

💉💉አንዳንድ ጊዜ ሽንት እንዲፈስ ለመርዳት ትንሽ የውስጥ ቱቦ (ስቴንት ተብሎ የሚጠራው) ለጊዜው ይቀመጣል።

💊ምናልባት ዘግይተው ከመጡና ከላሊት መሉ በሙሉ ከጥቅም ውጭ ሲሆን ሙሉ ኩላሊቱ ማውጣት ሊያስፈልግ ይችላል!
ከምስሉ እንደሚታየው!

ጥያቄ 6: ከቀዶ ጥገና በኋላ ምን ይሆናል?

🌡አብዛኞቹ ሕፃናት በደንብ ይድናሉ።

🌡የክትትል ወቅት የUltrasound እና ሌሎች ምርመራዎች የኩላሊት ሁኔታ እና ተግባርን ለመፈተሽ ሊያስፈልጉ ይችላሉ።

🌡በአብዛኛዎቹ ሁኔታዎች የኩላሊት ተግባር ይሻሻላል።

🌡አልፎ አልፎ ምልክቶቹ ከቀጠሉ ሁለተኛ ቀዶ ጥገና ሊያስፈልግ ይችላል!

ጥያቄ 7: በረጅም ጊዜ ውጤቱ ምን ይመስላል?

🌡በወቅቱ ህክምና ከተደረገ አብዛኛዎቹ ልጆች ጤነኛ እና ስራውን የሚያከናውን ኩላሊት ይኖራቸዋል።

🌡 የPUJO ቀዶ ጥገና በጣም ከፍተኛ የስኬት መጠን (ከ95% በላይ) ያለው የቀዶ ህክምና አይነት ነው።

🩺ስለዚህ ጠያቂያችን ይህ ጊዜ ለእርስዎ አስጨናቂ እንደሆነ እንረዳለን።
🩺እባኮትን ይህ ሊታከም የሚችል ህመም መሆኑን እርግጠኛ ይሁኑ
🩺እናም እያንዳንዱን ነገር ከሚሰራው ሐኪም በመነጋገር አስፈላጊውን ነገር ያድርጉ።
