GLOBAL APPROACHES TO THE ORGANIZATION OF COLOPROCTOLOGICAL CARE: LESSONS, TRENDS, AND STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS FOR UZBEKISTAN

This article provides a comparative analysis of international approaches to organizing outpatient and inpatient coloproctological care, with a focus on models adopted in countries such as Italy, Turkey, India, South Korea, Ukraine, and Belarus. The study identifies major trends, including the shift toward outpatient-based care, the implementation of minimally invasive techniques (e.g., DG-HAL, LHP, rubber band ligation), and the growing role of telemedicine and patient-generated digital monitoring tools (PGI). Emphasis is placed on the relevance and adaptability of these practices to the healthcare context of Uzbekistan. The analysis outlines two strategic pathways for national reform: an adaptive scenario based on optimizing existing hospital services, and a progressive model aimed at developing digitally integrated outpatient centers. The findings highlight the importance of context-sensitive application of international experience to improve accessibility, efficiency, and quality in coloproctological service delivery.
