Canadian foundation helps Ukrainian soldiers get complex facial reconstruction surgery

In an operating room at the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Hospital in Ukraine, Canadian plastic surgeon Matthew Brace has removed a piece of rib, as well as a flap of skin from his patient’s forehead, to reconstruct Andriy Djychka’s nose.

Mr. Djychka lost half of it, along with an eye, defending his country on the front lines.
