The condition of the Olympic champion remains very difficult. He has already survived two serious operations – doctors amputated his left leg, also amputated the heel and toes of his right foot. Despite this, blood flow was never restored. In this regard, Kommunarka’s doctors came to the conclusion that it is necessary to amputate the remaining part of the leg in the place of the fold.

“The necrosis has spread to the fingers as well. Not all ten, but even they need to be amputated. There is no other treatment. If the process of blood clots is not stopped after that, the Olympic champion will be left without both hands, “said one of the doctors to Channel Five.

Kostomarov is conscious. The athlete realizes that he has already lost his left leg and part of his right leg. He told the doctors to do whatever was necessary to save his life.

Doctors also indicated that the skater had serious problems with the heart and blood vessels due to gangrene. His blood became very thin. Now the risk of stroke is high, and in the future the destruction of the liver and kidneys is possible. Roman has lost weight, he receives food through a tube.

Taťana Navka’s former partner was hospitalized with pneumonia on the night of January 10. In the department with the skater is his wife Oksana Domnina. She asked journalists not to disturb the relatives with questions. Mother must not see Roman. He himself asked for it out of concern for the welfare of the pensioner.
