Up to date 225 transplant surgeries have been successfully performed. A multidisciplinary team consisting of specialists in nephrology, urology, anesthesiology and related diagnostic branches are actively involved in the kidney transplant program.There are many certified experts in the field of transplantation medicine among them, and some of them have European transplant certification.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Once met all the necessary requirements and the criteria of Eurotransplant a cadaver transplant program that included experts from Clinic for Internal Medicine started in 2006. So far 35 cadaver kidney transplants have been performed at the University Clinical Center Tuzla. Grafts and patients survival rates in kidney transplant recipients is 74% after five years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Several master's theses and two doctoral theses were defended on the theme of kidney transplant.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The center for dyalisis is a provider of dialysis and related health services to all chronic and acute dialysis- dependent patients with kidney failure. Al methods of extracorporeal circulation are offered in order to treat acute and chronc kidney failure, acute exogenous intoxications and other severe systemic diseases and mutiorgan failures. Since 2002 dialysis center has been appointed reference Fresenius MC for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are 138 patients on hemodialysis in the University Clinical Center Tuzla.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Temporary and permanent catheterization of the jugular vein <\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Urgent endoscopic management of patient with bleeding from the upper parts of the digestive tract<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>ScopeGuide- assisted colonoscopy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>ScopeGuide assisted colonoscopy is a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic procedure performed to evaluate the large intestine including entering the final part of the small intestine. The colonoscopy device helps the doctor to determine the exact position of the device in the abdominal cavity of the patient, therefore to complete the procedure as fast as possible. The procedure enables efficient performance while avoiding entering the so- called arches, which make the procedure difficult and painful for the patient.<\/p>\n<p><b>Capsule endoscopy<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Capsule endoscopy helps the doctor to see the small intestine pathology completely painless and with a high accuracy of diagnosing even the smallest changes in the small intestine.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Intragastric balloon placement in the treatment of pathological obesity<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The balloon is placed endoscopically in the stomach and then filled with saline and where allowed colored with methylene blue dye. The balloon is filled depending on the patient's body weight. The balloon is being removed from the stomach six months later. This method is not suitable for patients whose obesity is related to genetic and hormonal disorders.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>FibroScan- Transient elastography<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Transient elastography or FibroScan is a non- invasive ultrasound technology that measures the liver tissue damage in various diseases, and assess the amount of liver fat (steatosis grade). This procedure in a non- invasive method allows the doctor to determine the degree of fibrosis, and to diagnose cirrhosis of the liver. It is not used for elastography of focal liver changes such as tumors.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Etanol ablation of changes in the liver<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Etanol ablation procedure is primarily used for a non- invasive treatment of primary tumors of the liver- hepatocellular carcinoma, and to a lesser extent metastases in selected cases. The procedure can treat one change of a maximum diameter up to 50mm, or 3 smaller changes with total diameter of 60 mm.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>Stress echocardiography of the heart<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Stress echocardiography is an established technique for assessing coronary artery disease.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I.
