Taras Stadnitsky spoke about a congenital heart defect and surgery.

According to ТСН: Ukrainian actor and star of 'League of Laughter' Taras Stadnitsky shared unpleasant news about serious heart problems.

The comedian reported that he was excluded from military registration due to health issues. In an interview with Slava Dyomin, Taras noted that he has a congenital heart defect, for which he underwent surgery in 2017.

'I was undergoing military medical commission from September 2022 to May 2023. I have a document regarding my exclusion from military registration. I had a congenital heart defect, and then in 2017, I had surgery on the mitral valve.'

When Taras turned 33, surgery was planned for the day of his birthday. However, the doctors decided to conduct additional examinations, which showed that the actor could live with his mitral valve for a while longer. But in 2017, surgery became critically necessary.

The actor expressed that it is good that everything turned out this way. If the surgery had been performed earlier, it would have been open-heart surgery, which would require a long recovery. Thanks to minimally invasive cardiac surgery, Taras was able to walk the very next day after the operation. He feels good now but must undergo regular examinations.

'When I was 33, they planned to operate on me. They were supposed to perform open-heart surgery. It requires a long recovery afterward. Just on the day of the surgery, they did additional examinations and said to wait a bit. It's better to walk with my valve for a while than to replace it. I went for examinations, and they said it was already time for surgery, but they did it minimally invasively. That is, they made incisions. The next day, I was already walking. If it had been open surgery, I would have been lying down for two months.'

Additionally, it's worth noting that earlier pianist Yevhen Khmara also reported serious health problems for his wife that arose during her pregnancy with their third child.

This information emphasizes the importance of health maintenance, especially in the conditions of high demands that were required during military service. The vulnerability of Taras Stadnitsky's health once again draws attention to issues of medical care and surgery in Ukraine, which can be critically important in modern realities.
