ABSTRACT Killian Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is lesser common than Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). Various treatment modalities have been recommended but traditional surgical treatment has been recommended for a symptomatic KJD. Recently, traditional open surgery for a symptomatic KJD is being challenged by the development of new endoscopic techniques and devices. We document a rare report of a left KJD diagnosed on barium esophagogram and flexible endoscopy. Diverticulum excision and an esophagomyotomy was done and following treatment the patient's symptoms resolved and he recovered well.

A clinical case of treatment of a patient with long-term consequences of a gunshot wound to the lumbar spine with a follow-up period of fifteen years is presented. In the last year and a half, the repeatedly recurrent retroperitoneal phlegmon associated with a foreign body of the lumbar spine has prompted a decision on the issue of surgical treatment (removal of a foreign body - a bullet). The location of the foreign body and previous experience with endoscopic foreign body removal played a decisive role in the choice of surgical tactics. Removal of the wounding projectile was performed using a percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic approach. The choice of such an approach was dictated by the peculiarity of the location of the foreign body (coaxial with the endoscopic tube in the foraminal approach), as well as sufficient experience in using the technique of percutaneous endoscopic surgery. At the same time, the conversion plan was worked out in sufficient detail with both posterolateral and anterior open approaches with the involvement of appropriate specialists. So, in case of failure, it was planned to transfer endoscopic access to open, using the already installed working tube of the endoscope as a conductor to a foreign body. In case of inefficiency, for some reason, this version of the operation was planned for the next, third stage: wound suturing, patient turning on the back with a right-hand retroperitoneal approach to the anterior-lateral surface of LI and LII bodies. Fortunately, the purpose of the operation was achieved using the most gentle version of the allowance. The given clinical case testifies that the technique of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic surgery is not limited in indications to the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: Iliac artery aneurysms make up 2% of all aneurysms. There are only a few data available on the results of surgical treatment, therefore the optimal treatment is unclear. Our objective was the retrospective analysis of the perioperative morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent iliac artery surgery as well as the comparison of elective open surgery and endovascular iliac aneurysm repair (EVIAR). Method: Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery for iliac artery aneurysm between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2014. Results: During the 10-year period, 62 patients with a mean age of 68.9 years underwent elective surgery for iliac artery aneurysm (54 males, 87.1%). In 10 cases acute surgery was performed due to aneurysm ruptures (13.9%), 3 patients died within the perioperative period (30%). Regarding anatomical localisation, aneurysm developed mostly on the common iliac artery (80.6%). As an elective surgery, 35 patients (56.5%) underwent open surgery, 25 (40.3%) underwent EVIAR and other endovascular interventions were performed in 2 cases (3.2%). Postoperative complications (1 patient [4.0%] vs. 17 patients [48.5%]; p<0.001) and intensive care treatment (29 patients [82.8%] vs. 2 patients [8.0%]; p<0.001) were significantly rarer after EVIAR than after open surgery. Furthermore, EVIAR resulted in considerably shorter postoperative hospital stays (4.7 ± 2.3 days vs. 11.8 ± 12.2 days; p = 0.006) and significantly less blood transfusion demand (1 patient [4.0%] vs. 26 patients [74.2%]; p<0.001). There were no significant differences regarding long-term survival rates between EVIAR and open surgery (81.4% vs. 71.4%; p = 0.95). Conclusion: In case of the surgical treatment of iliac artery aneurysms, owing to the lower complication rates and shorter postoperative length of stay, EVIAR is primarily recommended.

AbstractBACKGROUND. Inverted papilloma is a benign tumor of the nose and sinuses, with a high risk of recurrence and malignant degeneration. The inverted papilloma is a slow growing tumor that can be approached through an endoscopic or external approach, depending on its stage.OBJECTIVE. The aims of the study are to identify the particularities of diagnosis of the inverted papilloma, to establish the correct steps in surgical treatment of this tumor and to open the access for other steps of treatment.MATERIAL AND METHODS. The authors present their experience in managing the sinonasal inverted papilloma in a 15-year retrospective clinical study, which included 162 patients. The preoperative protocol consisted in clinical examination, nasal endoscopy, radiologic imaging (CT scan) and biopsy with histopathology results and immunohistochemistry findings. Surgical removal of the inverted papilloma was performed by endoscopic techniques, according to the stage of the tumor. We were interested in the recurrence rate of the tumor and its malignancy after a long-term follow-up.RESULTS. In our series, we included 162 patients and we had 26 (16.04%) recurrences and 12 (7.40%) malignant degenerations. All our patients were diagnosed in Krouse stages I, II and III and underwent endoscopic resection of the tumor.CONCLUSION. In order not to have any leftover tumor (the most important factor of recurrence and malignant transformation), it is mandatory to have a complete diagnosis of the inverted papilloma, a precise surgical technique and a rigorous followup. In some cases, the surgical treatment is associated with other type of treatment (antiviral, antiangiogenetic).

ABSTRACT Objective: Lumbar disc herniation is a common indication for surgical treatment of the spine. Open microdiscectomy is the gold standard. New surgical techniques have emerged, such as spinal endoscopy. We compared and evaluated two endoscopic techniques: the transforaminal and the interlaminar. Methods: Fifty-five patients underwent endoscopic technique and were assessed by VAS and ODI in the preoperative period, and in the first and sixth month after the procedure. Results: We had 89.1% of good results and 10.9% of complications. Conclusion: We conclude that endoscopic techniques are safe and effective for the surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation.

We treated ten patients with Wegener's granulomatosis whose clinical picture differed only in the stage of the disease at the time of the first visit. All patients were female with a mean age of 30 years and all presented with a picture of high tracheal obstruction. Three died and six have a permanent tracheostomy. Surgical treatment was unsuccessful; corticosteroids provided only transient improvement but cyclophosphamide induced remission. Removal of the stenosis either by open surgery or endoscopically by laser was not successful in accomplishing decannulation.

Background and Objective: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common and at the same time lethal if not treated promptly. Failure to treat this medical condition in a timely manner then it can lead to major complications that endanger the patient’s health. In these cases, surgical treatment can be done in an open or laparoscopic method. Despite some limited studies comparing the results of these two therapies, there is still insufficient information in patients with this complicated situation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of these two therapies in patients with complicated acute appendicitis. Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 52 patients with complicated acute appendicitis in the laparoscopic surgery group and 56 patients in the open surgery group were studied. Primary outcomes in this study were duration of surgery and secondary outcomes including wound infection, intra-abdominal abscess, postoperative pain, miscarriage, hospitalization, and need for re-surgery that were compared between the two groups. Results: Both groups were matched for age (mean 31.0 years in laparoscopic surgery group, 30.5 years in open surgery group, p = 0.81) and gender (28 men in laparoscopic surgery group, 32 men in surgical group, p = 0.73). The mean duration of surgery in the laparoscopic group was significantly longer (mean 66.8 vs. 55.1 min, p <0.001). In contrast, mean duration of hospitalization (85.2 vs 98.6 hours, p <0.001) and mean postoperative pain severity (6.3 vs 7.2, p <0.001) was more significant high in open surgery group. In other cases there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Although in surgical treatment of complicated acute appendicitis the duration of laparoscopic surgery is longer than the open method, but the duration of hospitalization and pain intensity in laparoscopic method is significantly reduced.

✓ The outcome is summarized for 14 cases operated on for glossopharyngeal neuralgia, with both open and percutaneous rhizotomy techniques, between 1960 and 1984. Four patients, all with primary neuralgia, underwent open surgery. Pain disappeared, leaving only a ninth nerve deficit in all but one patient; in that patient, paroxysms of pain recurred after 3 years, mediated by the nervus intermedius. Five other patients with idiopathic neuralgia and five patients with pain secondary to carcinoma underwent percutaneous procedures. Seven patients who had retrogasserian percutaneous rhizotomy for associated trigeminal neuralgia were also pain-free. No mortality or morbidity resulted from either type of procedure.

Abstract Backgrounds This study sought to investigate the clinical characteristics of congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) and to compare the efficacy of thoracoscopy and traditional open surgery in infants with congenital diaphragmatic eventration. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 125 children with CDE(90 boys, 35girls; median age:12.2 months, range 1h-7years;body weight1.99-28.5kg,median body weight 7.87±4.40kg) admitted to our hospital in recent 10years, and statistically analyzed their clinical manifestations and surgical methods. Results 108 children in this group underwent surgery, of which 67 underwent open surgery and 41 underwent thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication.107 patients recovered well postoperatively, except for 1 patient died of respiratory distress after surgery.Followed up for 1-9.5 years,107 patients had significantly improved preoperative symptoms.During follow-up, the location of the diaphragm was normal and no paradoxical movement was observed.Eleven of the 17 children who did not undergo surgical treatment did not see a decrease in diaphragm position after 1-6 years of follow-up.In the thoracoscopy group, the index data on the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, chest drainage time, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative CCU admission time were better than those in the open group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Clinical symptoms of congenital diaphragmatic eventration varied in severity. Patients with severe symptoms should be operated.Both thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication and traditional open surgery can effectively treat congenital diaphragmatic eventration,but compared with open surgery, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication has the advantages of short operation time, less trauma, rapid recovery, so it should be the first choice for children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.
