At just two years old, A. lost his ability to eat independently.
After swallowing a dangerous degreasing agent, his esophagus became blocked, leaving him unable to eat or drink normally. For the next 16 years, he grew up relying on a feeding tube.
But at Sheba, everything changed.
In a highly complex operation, Dr. Ran Kremer, Director of the Department of Thoracic Surgery, removed the blocked esophagus and reconstructed A.โs digestive system. Just days later, A. began drinking on his own, and for the first time in 18 years, he was able to taste ice cream, given to him by the very doctor who helped make it possible. ๐ฆ
We are proud to be part of A.โs journey and honored to help patients reclaim the moments most people take for granted. We wish him a future filled with health, strength, and many more sweet firsts.
