The operations performed by his hands are overwhelmingly successful, and many of them are unique. Today, our article is entirely devoted to a surgeon who saves a human life every day, seven days a week.
Akchurin Renat Suleymanovich: biography
The future luminary of medicine was born on the second of April of the forty-sixth year of the last century in a small town (Uzbekistan). Mom and dad of the boy were quite famous people who devoted their whole life to pedagogy. Renat became the third and youngest child in the family; in childhood, his brother and sister constantly spoiled him.
Since Rench Suleimanovich Akchurin (we took the photo of the surgeon in the article) chose medicine as the business of his life, he graduated from the most famous educational institution in the USSR of the appropriate profile - the First Moscow Medical Institute named after I.M.Sechenov - and immediately started working as an ordinary doctor in a small area. A year later, a talented young doctor began to work in the reception department of Reutov and at the same time in several metropolitan hospitals.
In the seventy-fifth year of the last century, the hero of our article first showed interest in vascular surgery. In the eighties, he was already a senior researcher with high expectations. Therefore, it was he who was sent for an internship in the USA. The completely different Akchurin Renat Suleymanovich came back. Where to work after this - the surgeon no longer thought about it, he forever connected his future with cardiac surgery, which brought him worldwide fame.
Around the same time, he was given a great honor and trust from more experienced colleagues - he received a very important appointment to a leadership position. The hero of our article became the head of the department of cardiovascular surgery. In his new position, he began to develop many of the latest trends in medicine and was not the first among the other doctors of the country to undertake complex operations with unpredictable results.
In the ninety-sixth year of the last century, Akchurin Renat Suleymanovich became widely known thanks to a successful heart operation to the president of the country. During this period, the surgeon repeatedly gave interviews and often appeared on television, drawing public attention to the problems of cardiac surgery.
Five years ago, this amazingly talented person became a full member of the public chamber of the Central Federal District, elected by an overwhelming majority.
A few words about the childhood surgeon
Akchurin Renat Suleymanovich always spoke very warmly about his relatives. His parents strongly supported the youngest son’s passion for biology, bionics and cybernetics. The idol of the future surgeon was the famous academician N. M. Amosov, who actively developed new areas of medicine in those years.
Love and understanding always reigned in the family; all the children were friends with each other and helped each other cope with household chores. In his memoirs, the surgeon repeatedly mentioned that he was very upset by the departure from the city of his childhood. He told in an interview that quite often he came to places where his childhood and youth passed, to see friends and relatives.
Studying at the University
After the tenth grade, Akchurin Renat Suleimanovich did not doubt for a second in choosing a future profession and submitted documents to the Andijan higher education institution, which graduates doctors. Our hero failed to finish it, because he was forced to suddenly move to Moscow. To continue his education, he had to apply for a transfer to the First Moscow Medical Institute named after I.M.Sechenov. Here he studied the last two courses.
Interestingly, even during his studies, the future surgeon was actively interested in practice. For example, he was one of the first volunteers who went to rescue work after a powerful earthquake in Peru. He helped to remove blockages and provided first aid to people who were lucky enough to survive this terrible moment.
It is interesting that the surgeon himself with great gratitude recalls his work as a local therapist. In some interviews, Renat Suleymanovich said that it was precisely this time that taught him to sympathize with his patients. And without this, according to this amazing person, it is impossible to become a real doctor.
Beginning of the surgeon's career
It is not surprising that the talented doctor was closely within the framework of the local doctor, so he became interested in traumatology and started working in two more clinics in addition to his main place of work.
Three years after graduation, he entered residency and continued his research in traumatology. Until now, he considers this stage of his professional activity to be the most interesting. After all, the surgeon Akchurin Renat Suleimanovich was among the first specialists who worked in the field of replant surgery. As part of the group of Professor Krylov, he conducted complex operations on the fusion of blood vessels and nerve endings to people with severed limbs. This work required extensive knowledge in medicine and great accuracy. Renat Suleymanovich managed to develop this direction, but he saw his future in vascular surgery.
The development of cardiac surgery in the USSR
Having proved himself a talented and diverse surgeon, Akchurin in the early eighties began to specialize in cardiac surgery. This work revealed his true talent and became a real vocation, but many technologies in our country were not yet developed, so Soviet surgeons had to take the help of their foreign colleagues.
Renowned American heart surgeon Michael Debekey invited Renat Suleymanovich to an internship at his own medical center. The talented surgeon used this opportunity for one hundred percent, therefore, upon returning home, he received a serious and responsible position as the head of the department of cardiovascular surgery at the A. L. Myasnikov Institute of Clinical Cardiology.
In this status, the protagonist of the article did a lot for the development of different areas of medicine. First of all, modern doctors and patients are grateful to him for heart surgery performed without opening the chest and with a minimum number of incisions. This greatly simplifies and shortens the rehabilitation period of patients; many of them can leave the clinic walls and return to their usual way of life a couple of days after surgery.
Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin: the main heart of the country
Despite the fact that in narrow circles Akchurin R.S. was quite well known, the press learned about him only in 1996. This year he became a man who not only had a heart operation, but actually saved the life of the president of our country.
Boris N. Yeltsin had serious heart problems and needed a complicated operation, however, surgeons did not make any forecasts and were cautious about the prospect of operating on the president of the Russian Federation. After several medical consultations, it was decided not to take time and do coronary artery bypass grafting in the coming days. It was Akchurin who was to lead the team of doctors and directly perform all the manipulations on the operating table.
Interestingly, he very correctly avoided any questions from journalists about the upcoming operation. He was focused and restrained in all interviews, and only after B.N. Yeltsin got better after a coronary bypass surgery in November did his surgeon decide to give the media some details of his work.
Akchurin's contribution to Soviet and modern medicine
It is difficult to list the areas in medicine that the hero of our article did not pass over. We single out only the most unique of them:
- reconstructive microsurgery;
- plastic microsurgery;
- treatment of coronary heart disease through surgery;
- heart transplantation;
- limb plastic surgery.
In general, our talented hero has about three hundred printed works in twenty areas, many of which became a real breakthrough in the international medical community.

According to the latest data, there are more than twelve orders, medals, prizes and awards at the international level in the doctor's piggy bank.
For example, at the end of the last century, he was awarded the International Order of Paul Harris.

Personal life

It is known that Akchurin is married and had two sons. The youngest of his children left this world thirteen years ago. The doctor never touches on this topic, therefore, we cannot provide the details of this story.
In an interview, Renat Suleymanovich mentioned that he loves tourism very much. And such as he was back in Soviet times - a large company with tents and a guitar. Fishing and hunting are also close to the doctor, and music, which occupies an important place in his daily life, is not alien to him.
