Postoperative State, Bladder

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To present the results from the clinical presentation, the imaging diagnostics, surgery and postoperative status of 17 patients with cervical spine metastases, to analyse all data and make the respective conclusions and compare them with the available data in the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study analysed data obtained by patients with metastatic cervical tumours treated in St George University Hospital over a period of seven years. All patients underwent diagnostic imaging tests which included, separately or in combination, cervical x-rays, computed tomography scan and magnetic-resonance imaging. Severity of neurological damage and its pre- and postoperative state was graded according to the Frankel Scale. For staging and operating performance we used the Tomita scale and Harrington classification. RESULTS: Seven patients had only one affected vertebra, 4 patients - two vertebrae, one patient - three vertebrae, 2 patients - four vertebrae, and in the other 3 patients more than one segment was affected. Surgery was performed in 12 patients. One level anterior corpectomy was performed in 6 patients, three patients had two-level surgery, and one patient - three-level corpectomy; in the remaining 2 cases we used posterior approach in surgery. Complete corpectomy was performed in 4 patients, subtotal corpectomy was used in 6 patients and partial - in 2 patients. Anterior stabilization system ADD plus® (Ulrich GmbH & Co. KG, Ulm, Germany) was implanted in 2 patients; in 8 patients anterior titanium plate and bone graft were used, and in 1 patient - posterior cervical stabilization system. CONCLUSIONS: Because of the pronounced pain syndrome and frequent neurological lesions as a result of the cervical spine metastases use of surgery is justified. The main purpose is to maximize tumor resection, achieve optimal spinal cord and nerve root decompression and stabilize the affected segment.

Coagulation And Fibrinolysis

SummaryThis study was carried out in order to compare the coagulation balance in patients with colorectal cancer before and after surgical removal of tumor with an age matched non-malignancy control group. Furthermore, it was studied whether preoperative coagulation state in cancer patients was correlated to the postoperative development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) diagnosed by venography. Plasma was collected preoperatively in 93 cancer patients and 30 controls, and postoperatively on day one, two, seven, and ninety in 88 cancer patients and 18 controls. Prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), and total fibrin(ogen) degradation products (TDP) were quantitated in plasma by enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). As compared to controls, patients admitted for cancer treatment displayed significantly higher levels of F1 + 2 and TAT. Patients suffering from advanced colorectal cancer had significantly higher levels of TAT and TDP as compared to patients with localized colorectal cancer. Twenty-three percent of cancer patients developed DVT postoperatively. Preoperatively these patients displayed significantly higher TDP levels, and postoperatively higher levels of F1 + 2, TAT, and TDP compared to cancer patients without DVT. The marked activation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis observed in all patients following major abdominal surgery was even more pronounced in patients not cured for cancer.

Capsular Bag

Presence of full contact of interface «intraocular lens (IOL) – posterior capsule (PC)» ensures the transparency of the latter in the early period after phacoemulsification (PE) of senile cataract (SC). The main reasons for absence of full contact of IOL with PC are: the presence of residuals of viscoelastic (VE) in the capsular bag, uneven tension of the capsule by the haptic elements of the IOL, and the incommensurability of the size of the IOL with the capsule. Purpose. To study the features of the intra- and postoperative state of interface «IOL – PC» during PE SC. Material and methods. Dynamic observation of 42 patients (42 eyes), who operated on immature senile cataracts, was carried out. All operations were performed using OPMI LUMERA 700 surgical microscope (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) with integrated intra-operative OCT, state of interface «IOL – PC» was examined. 2 hours after and on the 1st day after the operation state of interface «IOL – PC» was studied in all eyes by OCT on Optovue RTVue-100 (Optovue, Inc., US) with module for anterior segment examining to protocols «Cornea Line» and «Cornea Cross Line». Results. During the operation, the presence of contact between IOL and PC was observed only in 9 eyes (21.4%). 2 hours after surgery, 40 eyes (95.2%) had absence of contact between lens and capsule. On the 1st day after surgery, the optimal interface between IOL and PC was observed in 32 eyes (76.2%). Conclusion. Studies have shown that state of interface «IOL – PC» on the 1st day does not depend on its characteristics revealed intraoperative and 2 hours after the operation. The main reason for absence of contact between IOL and PC is residues of VE, and the using «impulse-irrigation» technique allows completely removing VE from the central zone of the capsule in all cases. Key words: cataract, phacoemulsification, intraocular lens, lens capsule, viscoelastic, interface «IOL – PC».
