Abstract INTRODUCTION The transverse hypogastric Pfannenstiel incision is one of the possibilities for specimen extraction after a laparoscopic nephrectomy. Its advantages include low morbidity and a favorable cosmetic result. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective and comparative observational study of 105 patients who underwent nephrectomy in our center. Group 1: renal extraction through Pfannenstiel incision. Group 2: renal extraction using other techniques. The presence of infection, incisional hernia and pain (visual analogue scale-VAS) was evaluated in each patient. Additionally, a telephone survey was conducted on the cosmetic results. RESULTS 105 patients: 68 group 1 (Pfannenstiel incision) and 37 group 2 (other incisions). The median size of the nephrectomy specimen was 14 cm (group 1 15cm, group 2 13cm). 27 patients (26%) had pain in the area of the hypogastric incision in the early postoperative period with a median on the VAS scale of 4 (16 group 1 vs 11 group 2). 3 patients (2.8%) presented incisional hernia (0 group 1 vs 3 group 2). 3 patients presented wound infection (0 group 1 vs 3 group 2). 70% of the patients in group 1 (48/68) answered the survey on cosmetic satisfaction: 93% were satisfied with the scar and its location. 49% of the patients in group 2 (18/37) answered the survey on cosmetic satisfaction: 83% were satisfied with the scar and its location. CONCLUSIONS The Pfannenstiel incision is a valid and safe alternative for laparoscopic nephrectomy specimen extraction with a favorable complication and cosmetic profile compared to other common techniques for nephrectomy specimen extraction.

Minimally invasive surgery continues to evolve. Recent innovations have included single-incision access, robotic technology, and natural orifice dissection and/or specimen extraction. Many argue that there is minimal patient benefit to these advanced techniques. We report 39 patients undergoing laparoscopic ileal J-pouch anal anastomosis surgery, 17 of whom did not have a separate specimen extraction incision (Group 1). The specimen for this group was extracted through the circular incision made for the ileostomy; the pouch was constructed extracorporeally and returned to the abdomen through the stoma site. For the remaining 22 patients, a suprapubic Pfannenstiel incision was made (Group 2). No hand-assistance was used for either group. Group 1 showed a 45-minute reduction in operative time, a 1-day reduction in hospital stay, and a reduction in complications. Although these differences are modest, it shows that minimally invasive surgery is an evolving process. Small modifications may translate into significant advantages.

Введение. Терапевтическое использование раствора человеческого альбумина у пациентов в периоперационном периоде трансплантации печени (ТП) представляет интерес в контексте осложнений и исходов операции. Цель исследования: оценить влияние интраоперационной трансфузии 25% раствора человеческого альбумина на течение раннего послеоперационного периода при ортотопической ТП от посмертного донора. Материалы и методы. В исследование включены 47 пациентов, которым была выполнена трупная ТП. Были сформированы 2 группы: пациенты группы 1 (n = 21) получали трансфузию 25% раствора человеческого альбумина в конце операции ТП и через 24 ч после операции; пациенты группы 2 (n = 26) получали трансфузию 25% раствора человеческого альбумина в первые сутки послеоперационного периода. Осуществляли контроль лабораторных параметров крови пациента перед началом оперативного вмешательства, через 24 ч и через 48 ч после операции. Интраоперационно оценивали значения систолического (САД) и диастолического (ДАД) артериального давления, частоту сердечных сокращений (ЧСС), дозу вазопрессоров, объем инфузионно-трансфузионной терапии, кровопотерю и диурез. В послеоперационном периоде фиксировали возможные осложнения, проведенные сеансы заместительной почечной терапии (ЗПТ), а также количество дней в стационаре. Результаты. Оценка значений САД, ДАД и ЧСС в начале и конце операции показала достоверно лучшие показатели гемодинамики и снижение дозировок вазопрессорной поддержки в конце вмешательства в группе 1 по сравнению с группой 2 (p < 0,05). В послеоперационном периоде инфекционные осложнения зарегистрированы у одного пациента группы 1 и у трех пациентов группы 2. Проведение ЗПТ потребовалось двум пациентам из группы 2. Все пациенты обеих групп были выписаны из стационара, при этом число дней госпитализации в группе 2 было статистически значимо больше по сравнению с пациентами группы 1: 26,9 ± 3,9 против 17,2 ± 4,3 (p < 0,05). Заключение. Интраоперационная инфузия 25% раствора альбумина позволяет стабилизировать показатели гемодинамики в конце операции ТП, снизить потребность в кардиотонической поддержке и сократить время госпитализации у пациентов после ТП. Background. The therapeutic use of human albumin solution in patients in the perioperative period of liver transplantation (LT) is of interest in the context of complications and outcomes of surgery. Objectives: to assess the effect of intraoperative transfusion of 25% human albumin solution on the early postoperative period in orthotopic LT from a postmortem donor. Patients/Methods. The study included 47 patients who underwent cadaveric LT. Two groups were formed: patients in group 1 (n = 21) received transfusion of 25% human albumin solution at the end of LT and 24 hours after surgery; patients in group 2 (n = 26) received transfusion of 25% human albumin solution on the first day of the postoperative period. The laboratory parameters of the patient’s blood were monitored before surgery, 24 hours later, and 48 hours after surgery. Intraoperatively, the values of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, heart rate (HR), dose of vasopressors, volume of infusion- transfusion therapy, blood loss and diuresis were assessed. In the postoperative period, possible complications, renal replacement therapy (RRT) sessions performed, and the number of days in the hospital were recorded. Results. Assessment of SBP, DBP and HR values showed significantly better hemodynamic parameters and reduced dosages of vasopressor support at the end of surgery in group 1 compared to group 2 (p < 0.05). In the postoperative period, infectious complications were registered in one patient of group 1 and in three patients of group 2. Two patients from group 2 required RRT. All patients were discharged from the hospital, while the number of hospitalization days in group 2 was statistically significantly greater than in patients in group 1: 26.9 ± 3.9 versus 17.2 ± 4.3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Intraoperative infusion of 25% albumin solution allows stabilizing hemodynamic parameters at the end of LT surgery, reducing the need for cardiotonic support and shortening the hospitalization time in patients after LT.

Purpose: To study the effect of anterior capsule polishing during phacoemulsification on the incidence of post operative YAG laser capsulotomy. Method: A retrospective controlled study of 159 patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification with anterior capsular polishing between October 1998 and March 2000. 169 age matched patients who underwent phacoemulsification but without anterior capsule polishing served as controls. Main outcome measure: Incidence of visually significant YAG capsulotomy, which improved the Snellen acuity for more than 1 line or at least 1 line with subjective improvements in symptoms. Results: 2.51 % of patients with anterior capsular polishing (Group 1) had YAG capsulotomy compared to 7.1% of patients in control group at one year. However, after two years, 11.3% of patients in Group I had YAG capsulotomy compared to 12.4% in Group 2. Conclusion: Anterior capsular polishing during cataract surgery may delay the opacification of posterior capsule during the early postoperative period. But does not decrease the incidence of YAG capsulotomy after two years.

Background: One of the major morbidity after abdominal surgery is incisional hernia. In high risk patients its incidence reaches 11-20% despite various optimal closure techniques for midline laparotomy. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy of onlay mesh placement in reducing the incidence of incisional hernia in those high risk patients.Methods: A total of 65 high risk patients suspected to develop post-operative incisional hernia underwent midline abdominal laparotomies. Patients were divided into two groups; group1 (30 patients) for whom the incision was closed by conventional method and group2 (35 patients) for whom the incision was closed with reinforcement by onlay polypropylene mesh. The primary end point was the occurrence of incisional hernia while the secondary end point was post-operative complications including subcutaneous seroma, chronic wound pain, and surgical site infection (SSI). Patients were followed up for two years.Results: The base line characteristics of the two groups were similar. The incidence of incisional hernia is significantly reduced 1/35 (2.8%) in group 2 while it was 6/30 (20%) in group 1. As regard seroma and chronic wound pain they increased in (group2) 6/35 (17.14%) and 5/35(14.28%) respectively compared to (group 1) which was 4/30 (13.33%) and 2/30 (6.66%). SSI occurred in 1/35 (2.85%) in group 2 and in 1/30 (3.33%) in group 1.Conclusions: Prophylactic onlay mesh reinforcement of the midline laparotomy for high risk patients can be used safely and markedly reduces the incidence of incisional hernia with little morbidity.

Relevance. Odontogenic infection is one of the most important problems of dental science. The variety of anti-inflammatory oral hygiene products determines the need for targeted selection of preventive toothpastes and rinses, balms, foams, elixirs, as well as monitoring and training the algorithm of hygienic measures for a patient with an odontogenic infection. The aim of the study was to study the hygienic status of the adult population for the selection of individual oral hygiene products for odontogenic infection, taking into account social and hygienic factors.Materials and methods. The study examined the prevalence of odontogenic infection in the adult population to determine the need for professional care and dental education. The study involved 198 people without somatic pathology, who were allocated into four groups according to the performed oral care and taking into account the dental status and the intensity of oral microbiota formation in the adult population. The patients were followed-up every week for one month. The study examined the simplified oral hygiene index by GreenVermillion (OHI-S), PMA index and Mühlemann and Son sulcus bleeding index, which allowed calculating the effectiveness of oral care products.Results. The preventive care effectiveness evaluation showed an increase in the cleansing effect in the adult population over the entire study period. The anti-inflammatory effectiveness analysis demonstrated positive changes: by the end of the study, the PMA index was 51.52 ± 3.40% in group 1; it increased by a factor of 3 and amounted to 44.17 ± 2.77% in group 2; 56.51 ± 4.61% – in group 3, 48.95 ± 3.60% – in group 4. The Mühlemann and Son sulcus bleeding index demonstrated the changes in the periodontal tissue condition and amounted to 52.78 ± 3.62% in group 1, 44.11 ± 3.54% in group 2, 54.97 ± 3.98% in group 3, 47.78 ± 2.73% in group 4.Conclusions. The development of oral health promotion measures determines the significance of oral care products for the prevention of odontogenic infection in the adult population, which plays a crucial role in the individual program planning for the main dental disease prevention.

Purpose. To evaluate the effect of cap-lenticule diameter difference (CLDD) on the visual outcome and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Methods. A total of 132 patients who had bilateral SMILE for myopia or myopic astigmatism were included. The CLDD was 0.4 mm in 54 patients (group 1) and 1.0 mm in 78 patients (group 2). The refractive parameters, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and HOAs were determined preoperatively and during six months follow-up. Results. Group 1 had better CDVA (in logMAR) compared to group 2 at day 1 (−0.07 ± 0.07 versus 0.04 ± 0.07, resp.; p<0.001) and week 1 (−0.07 ± 0.07 versus –0.04 ± 0.07, resp.; p=0.001). The visual acuity improved more in group 1 than in group 2. The UDVA (in logMAR) was 0.07 ± 0.07 and 0.29 ± 0.09 at day 1 (p<0.001) and −0.08 ± 0.07 and −0.06 ± 0.06 at six months (p=0.038) in group 1 and group 2, respectively. Group 1 was associated with significantly less induction of HOAs (0.24 ± 0.08 μm and 0.32 ± 0.26 μm, resp.; p=0.002). Conclusions. In SMILE, 0.4 mm CLDD is associated with better visual outcome and less induction of HOAs than 1.0 mm. Narrow CLDD should be considered in SMILE to increase the visual acuity particularly in the early postoperative period.

Objective - to estimate frequency of occurrence of critical incidents during epidural anesthesia in gynecological patients with different sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex. Material and Methods: prospective observational blind study, 54 gynecological patients, elective surgery. The day before the surgery, the sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex was determined by the duration of an arbitrary threshold apnea in a test with a delayed respiration. According to the duration of the test, the patients were divided into groups: high (group «1») and medium (group «2») sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex. During the operation and in the early postoperative period, critical incidents were recorded. Results and Conclusion(s). During epidural anesthesia in gynecological patients from intraoperative critical incidents is revealed hypotension. The frequency of occurrence of hypotension was 32.1% in patients of group «1» and 15.4% in patients of group «2». High sensitivity of peripheral chemoreflex in patients during epidural anesthesia is a predictor of unstable hemodynamics, as well as the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Objective. To study the adaptive capacity of a single remaining kidney in the early postoperative period of nephrectomy in an experiment. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 35 laboratory white rats, which were divided into three experimental groups. Group 1 (n = 5) intact animals, group 2 (n = 15) animals underwent nephrectomy on the left; group 3 (n = 15) animals underwent nephrectomy and additionally were created 90 minute hypoxic hypoxia. Histological material was collected on the 5th, 21st and 60th days after surgery. Results. Characteristic morphological changes in the only remaining kidney were an increase in the size of the glomeruli and a decrease in their number. Nephron fibrosis was detected, accompanied by increased production of antigens by the tubular epithelium, which is likely a response to a cascade increase in oxidative stress and increased release of cytokines that stimulate the production of intrarenal collagen. Conclusion. Nephrectomy and hypoxia are provocateurs for the development of systemic distress syndrome, the result of which is the formation of a vicious pathogenetic circle, which reduces the functionality of the renal tissue. This can be considered as one of the early preclinical mechanisms for the initiation of single kidney disease in the future.

P51 Background and Purpose: The ischemic penumbra is composed of neurons that are functionally impaired but structurally intact, and thus potentially salvageable. Identifying the penumbra and its relationship with the ischemic core may lead to a more physiologic selection of patients who might benefit from recanalization therapy. We sought to explore the core/penumbra relationship by quantitatively measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with acute M1 occlusion. Methods: 19 patients with M1 occlusion proven by CT angiography or conventional cerebral angiography underwent a Xe-CT/CBF study within 6 hours of symptoms onset. Mean CBF values were measured in the ipsilateral cortical MCA territory. The core was defined as areas with CBF< 8 ml/100g/min and the penumbra was defined as areas with CBF 9–20 ml/100g/min. Findings were correlated with the admission NIH stroke scale (NIHSS). Results: In 6/19 patients (31.5%)(group 1), the size of the penumbra was greater than twice the size of the core. In 8/19 patients (42.1%) (group 2), the size of the penumbra was approximately equal the size of the core. In 5/19 patients (26.8%)(group 3) the size of the penumbra was less than half the size of the core. The median core volumes for each of the three groups, expressed as percentage of core relative to ipsilateral cortical MCA territory, increased from group 1 to group 3. While there was a trend towards a correlation between the admission NIHSS and the combined core and penumbral volumes, no such correlation could be established between admission NIHSS and core or penumbral volumes alone. Conclusions: In the first 6 hours after M1 occlusion, penumbral volumes that are larger than or equal to core volumes are present in 14 out of 19 patients. A smaller core volume is associated with an increased penumbra to core ratio. The admission NIHSS in patients with M1 occlusion correlates with the combined volumes of core and penumbra.
