“Surgeons performed a minimally invasive endoscopic operation through the nose: they opened the sinus, flushed it, removed the purulent contents and widened the opening,” the press service said.“The surgery lasted half an hour, after which the man remained in hospital for another week under medical supervision. Once his condition improved, he was discharged. He will soon turn 102,” the press service concluded.
