Ten, a member of the editorial Board of the journal Pediatric Surgery, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, celebrated his 75th anniversary. Prof. Ten’s name as a chief pediatric surgeon of the Altai Territory, a doctor of the highest category, an excellent healthcare worker, and a beloved national doctor, is known far beyond the region.</p> <p>Prof. Ten’s leading scientific interests are total plastic surgery of the esophagus in congenital malformations and cicatricial stenosis. He developed and implemented into surgical practice the improved techniques of surgical treatment of children with various planned and urgent surgical, urological, thoracic, coloproctological and gynecological pathologies. Being a head of the team of Altai pediatric surgeons, he participated in a unique surgery on the separation of conjoined twins, developed an original technique for suturing coloesophagoplasty, and implemented endoscopic surgery into the treatment of severe congenital malformations such as esophageal atresia, diaphragmatic hernias, megaureter, horseshoe kidney, and many others.</p> <p>Prof. Ten is an old-school man, so he is sure that his generation was strong in spirit and physically healthy only for the reason that they were deprived of many things in childhood, and were not spoiled with comfort. And the basic human qualities, which are important to him to this day, were instilled in him by his father, who “always repeated the same truths: study, work, be honest.” In his youth, Yuri Ten seriously thought of mathematical career, but due to a combination of circumstances, including his older brother’s advice, he entered a medical university. Prof. Ten calls , among his mentors, at least a dozen of outstanding names, explaining that he took something different from each one: he studied professionalism from the first pediatric surgeon of the Altai Territory Dr. I.N. Alexandrova, learned surgical techniques while observing surgeries made by drs. O.V. Mikryukova, Yu.V. Ermakov, and N.I. Agapov, and other famous surgeons of that time. The motto on the path in personal professional self-improvement were the words of a head of department of the Medical Institute Dr. M.D. Zhukov: “You will become a surgeon when you learn how to get out of any situation.”</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>18 ноября 2025 года члену редакционной коллегии журнала «Детская хирургия», заслуженному врачу Российской Федерации, доктору медицинских наук, профессору Юрию Васильевичу Тену исполнилось 75 лет. Имя профессора Тена ― главного детского хирурга Алтайского края, врача высшей категории, отличника здравоохранения, любимого народного доктора ― известно далеко за пределами региона.</p> <p>Ведущая сфера научных исследований Юрия Васильевича ― тотальная пластика пищевода при врождённых пороках развития и рубцовых стенозах. Он разработал и внедрил в практику хирургического отделения усовершенствованные методики хирургического лечения детей с разнообразной плановой и ургентной хирургической, урологической, торакальной, колопроктологической и гинекологической патологией. Во главе команды детских хирургов Алтайского края Юрий Васильевич разделил сиамских близнецов, разработал оригинальную методику по наложению швов при колоэзофагопластике, внедрил эндоскопическую хирургию в лечение таких тяжёлых врождённых пороков развития, как атрезия пищевода, диафрагмальные грыжи, мегауретер, подковообразная почка и многие другие.</p> <p>Юрий Васильевич ― человек старой закалки: он уверен, что его поколение было сильным духом и физически здоровым только по той причине, что многого было лишено в детстве, не избаловано. А главные человеческие качества, актуальные для него и по сей день, привил ему отец, который «всегда твердил одни и те же истины: учись, трудись, будь честным».</p> <p>В молодости Юрий Васильевич всерьёз задумывался о математической карьере, но в силу стечения ряда обстоятельств, в том числе по совету старшего брата, поступил в медицинский университет. Среди своих наставников Юрий Васильевич называет не меньше десятка выдающихся имен, объясняя, что у каждого взял что-то своё: профессионализму учился у первого детского хирурга Алтайского края И.Н. Александровой, технику постигал, наблюдая за операциями О.В. Микрюковой, Ю.В. Ермакова, Н.И. Агапова и других известных хирургов того времени, а девизом на пути личного профессионального самосовершенствования были слова заведующего кафедрой мединститута М.Д. Жукова: «Хирургом ты станешь тогда, когда научишься выходить из любой ситуации».</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>conjoined twins</kwd><kwd>esophageal atresia</kwd><kwd>coloesophagoplasty</kwd><kwd>pediatric surgery</kwd><kwd>Yury V.
