Two Surgeries Performed on Reza Amirkhani / Family Explanation / Hospital Story

According to Khabaronline News Agency, Reza Amirkhani’s Telegram channel, which provides the latest news on the health status of the writer and literary critic as per his family’s request, posted the following message:

“Hello,

This morning, Reza underwent two surgeries.

First, a tracheostomy, which creates a stable, controllable, and secure airway through the trachea.

Second, stabilization of a separation in the pelvic bones.

Both operations were successfully completed by noon, and Reza has been returned to the ICU.”

Kasra Hospital also wrote in a story:

“Based on the medical team’s assessment, on Saturday, December 6, 2025, Mr. Amirkhani’s clinical condition has not shown significant change. In line with treating the injury, pelvic surgery has been performed for him, and special post-surgical care continues. As per his family’s request, visiting the patient is prohibited at this stage. Respected audiences are requested to refrain from direct visits to maintain peace and accelerate the treatment process.”

Furthermore, in an audio message published on Reza Amirkhani’s Telegram channel, it was stated:

“Today, Reza went to the operating room for two surgeries: one, the stabilization of a ‘separation’ in the pelvic bones, and the other, a tracheostomy. Why do I say ‘separation’? Because it’s a seam between two bones. Bones that are separate during the fetal period and fuse together during adolescence. So, it cannot be called a joint, nor can it be called a bone. Consequently, what happened could neither be considered a fracture nor a dislocation. It was a bone seam that had separated in the accident and has now been stabilized.

Regarding the tracheostomy, I should explain that in the first emergency where Reza was transferred, an endotracheal tube was placed in the trachea to control breathing. An emergency environment, like an operating room, is never completely sterile, and the doctor placing the endotracheal tube naturally considers other priorities and cannot focus much on the sterility of the procedure, and that’s appropriate. An endotracheal tube increases the risk of infection in the lungs and is generally not kept for more than 10 days, as it may also have a damaging effect on the vocal cords. Therefore, in any case, the endotracheal tube must be removed, and a safer and more controllable airway opened for him, through an incision made in the trachea above the sternum. These two operations have been performed for Reza, and he has now returned to the ICU.”
