The accumulated clinical experience has proven that the “sublay” technique allows to achieve greater functional activity of the anterior abdominal wall and is the method of choice in the treatment of ventral hernia. The use of self-adhesive nets during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal plasty (TAPP- Transabdominal Preperitoneal Plastic) in the treatment of small and medium ventral hernia is safe and effective, with low values of postoperative pain syndrome and rapid functional recovery after surgery, without increasing the recurrence in the short term. The aim – was to analyze the immediate and long-term results of “sublay” and TAPP techniques in the treatment of ventral hernias of lower and median localization. The author noted that the search for technical methods aimed to reduce the intra-abdominal pressure in this hernioplasty technique was relevant and practically significant. Material and Methods. The work was performed on the basis of the surgical department of the State Institution “Specialized Multi-Purpose Hospital №1 of Ministry of Health of Ukraine”, Department of General Surgery of the State Institution “Dnipro State Medical University of Ministry of Health of Ukraine”. Results. Comparison of immediate and long-term results of peritoneal-prosthetic-aponeurosis thickness studies showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) using different techniques. When analyzing the separated results, reliable differences (p <0.001) depending on the gender of patients were recorded. Thus, in males, when using the “sublay” technique the peritoneal-prosthetic-aponeurosis thickness was greater by 1.15 mm (by 42.43 %) in comparison with the Tapptechnique, and in females, by 1.16 mm (by 42.09 %), respectively. Conclusions. The analysis of the immediate and long-term results of the “sublay” and TAPP techniques in the treatment of ventral hernias of lower and median localization showed that the “sublay” technique was characterized by traumatic surgical intervention, shift of the prosthesis to one side, as a consequence of its deformation. When using this technique, peritoneum-prosthetic-aponeurosis thickness values were significantly higher  –  by 13.16 % and 42.40 % in the early and distant postoperative periods, respectively. Also, when using the Tapp technique in the distant period the thickness was significantly reduced (p <0,0001) by 49,47 % in comparison with the immediate results.

AbstractNear total laryngectomy with cricohyoepiglottopexy (CHEP) allows cure of glottic carcinomas with voice preservation. The subject of this study was to evaluate CHEP in terms of tumour control and functional result in T1 and T2 glottic carcinomas.This study reviewed retrospectively 55 consecutive cases of CHEP performed between January 1, 1981 and September 1, 1992 with the exclusion of post-radiotherapy salvage surgery. CHEP was indicated for a T1a limit to the anterior commissure and/or with dysplasia of the other vocal fold (10 cases), T1b (11 cases) and T2 (34 cases) glottic carcinomas. All our patients have a follow-up of more than five years.The post-operative course after this surgery was generally uneventful. The median time to decannulation was 18 days, to removal of the nasogastric tube was 15 days and to discharge from hospital was 23 days. No significant difference was observed according to the preservation of one or both arytenoid cartilages. The long-term functional result can be considered to be good in three-quarters of cases, with normal oral swallowing and an easily understood voice. The remaining one quarter had a whispery voice and sometimes episodes of aspiration when swallowing liquids. In terms of oncological results, the five-year recurrence-free survival rate was 94 per cent for T1 and 84 per cent for T2. The ultimate tumour control (taking into account four cases of total laryngectomy) was 94 per cent for T1 and 93 per cent for T2.Primary surgery by CHEP therefore appears to be a good option for early glottic carcinomas. The main problem remains that voice recovery is mediocre in one quarter of patients.

The Aim of research is to improve the results of surgical treatment of incisional ventral hernia by applying a case-specific approach and a new method of plastic repair of anterior abdominal wall. The prospective controlled dynamic study is based on incisional ventral hernia treatment results with the use of meshed endoprostheses among 219 patients. On-lay alloplasty was used in patients younger than 60 years of age, without severe concomitant pathology, with small and medium hernias and anterior abdominal wall defect of up to 10 cm (W1 - W2). The article shows a selection algorithm for anterior abdominal wall plastic repair method. It goes through advantages of the author’s proprietary technique. The article displays frequency and patterns of complications, life quality of the patients after various prosthetic plastic repairs. In the main group, positive treatment results were observed in 65.0%, long-term results of the operation were observed in 88.4%, complications occurred in 13.6%, relapse in 4.5%. «On lay» treatment tactics showed positive results in 59.4%, long-term results of the operation were observed in 74.7%, complications occurred in 40%, relapse in 3.1%. After «sub lay» intervention, excellent results were observed in 40.0% of patients, long-term results of the operation were observed in 81.9%, complications occurred in 12%, and relapse in 1.4%.

Background Pancreatic necrosectomy outcomes have been studied extensively; however, long-term results of these procedures have not been well characterized. Our study aimed to assess the outcomes at and after discharge for patients following necrosectomy. Methods Data from patients undergoing pancreatic necrosectomy at a single tertiary referral hospital from January 1, 2007, to June 1, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were stratified into an open pancreatic necrosectomy (OPN) and an endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (EPN) group. Results Cohorts were composed of an OPN (n = 30) and EPN (n = 31) groups with a mean follow-up of 22 and 13.5 months, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the demographics or etiology of disease; however, the presence of severe sepsis and elevated BISAP scores was significantly higher in the OPN group (40% vs 13% p = .016, 37% vs 10% p = .012, respectively). There was no significant difference in discharge parameters or disposition other than a higher need for wound care in the OPN group (14% vs 0% p =< .0001). No significant difference in the number of patients who returned to baseline, 12-month ED visits, 12-month readmissions, medical comorbidities, or long-term survival was noted. Conclusions Previous studies have demonstrated that OPN patients have a higher severity of disease and higher inpatient mortality; however, this does not hold true once the acute phase of the illness has passed. Long-term medical comorbidities and survival of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis who endure the primary insult do not differ in long term, regardless of the debridement modality performed for source control.

Adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the ampulla, but in general, it is still rare. Therefore, these tumors are difficult to study, and most reports are of retrospective design. To evaluate immediate postoperative and long-term results, we have collected data prospectively in a specially created database on 21 consecutive patients with adenocarcinoma of the papilla of Vater, operated on at the Department of Surgery, Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital. All patients have undergone classical or pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. Postoperative mortality was 4.8% and overall morbidity – 28.6%. Pancreas-associated morbidity was 14.3% in the series. Actuarial 3-year survival among our patients was 89%. Stage I–II patients with T1–T2 and/or N negative tumors had significantly better 3-year survival when compared with stage III–IV patients, T3–T4 and/or N positive tumors. Patients with highly or moderately differentiated tumors (G1, G2) survived better than patients with poor cell differentiation (G3), though significant difference was not achieved. Results are satisfactory in terms of overall postoperative morbidity and mortality. Long-term survival pattern concerning T, N, and G status corresponds with other reports in literature, while the 3-year survival results are promising and speaks in favor of our surgical strategy.

Category: Ankle, Arthroscopy, Hindfoot, Sports, Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Surgical management of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) present an ongoing treatment challenge. Previously, matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) demonstrated improved pain and function at 7-years postoperative, providing evidence that MACI is a reliable method for treating cartilage. However, it is unknown the long- term results of MACI in OLT. The purpose of this study was to assess 13-year clinical follow-up data and the long-term success of this implant by comparing patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) pre-operatively, at 7-years post-operative, and at 13- years post-operative. Methods: A prospective investigation of MACI was performed on 10 patients with OLTs who had failed previous arthroscopic treatment. Of the 10 patients, 9 were available for 7-year and 13-year follow-up. Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot evaluation were utilized at pre-operative, 7-year, a 13-year postoperative. For each patient, a paired t-test was used to compare 13-year post-operative PROMs to pre-operative PROMs. A single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) determined whether PROMs were different between pre-operative, 7-year post- operative, and 13-year post-operative time intervals. When a significant difference was detected, a post-hoc Tukey’s determined which time periods were different. Results: SF-36 data at 13-years showed significant improvements in Physical Functioning (p=0.012), Lack of Bodily Pain (p=0.017), and Social Functioning (p=0.007) compared with preoperative data. There were no differences in other components of the SF-36 outcomes (p>0.05). Although the AOFAS was on average 12 points higher at 13-years postoperative, this was not statistically significant (p=0.173). As for comparing PROMs over time, 13-years post-operative PROMs were comparable to 7-years post- operative (Table 1). There were better PROMs for Physical Functioning, Bodily Pain, and Social Functioning at 7- and 13-years post-operative compared to pre-operative while Physical Role Functioning was also better at 7-years post-operative compared to pre-operative. Conclusion: This study shows MACI provides greater pain relief and function at 13-years post-operative with stable long-term follow-up. MACI should be considered for osteochondral lesions that fail initial microfracture.

Background and Objective Short-term results of endovascular intervention for femoropopliteal lesions have been extensively reported; however, there exists a paucity of long-term objective data related to outcomes of these interventions. We sought to characterize these long-term results including patency, limb salvage, and mortality. Methods From May 2003 to July 2009, all patients who underwent technically successful endovascular balloon angioplasty and/or stenting for Trans-Atlantic Inter-Societal Consensus (TASC) II B, C, and D lesions were identified in a retrospective fashion. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, arterial noninvasive data, and angiographic anatomic data were evaluated. Results A total of 236 limbs in 186 patients (mean age 74, range 37–94) were treated. Lesion distributions by TASC II classification B, C, and D were 121 (51.3%), 37 (15.7%), and 78 (33%), respectively. Critical limb ischemia (CLI) was the indication for intervention in 42.4% of patients. Five-year primary and primary-assisted patency rates stratified by TASC II classification were B: 55.1%, 91.9%; C: 37.4%, 74.6%; D: 35.5%, 67%, respectively (p = 0.23). Secondary patency based on TASC II classification was B: 92.9%, C: 83%, and D: 75.9%, respectively. Univariate analysis identified age > 75, CLI, and cerebrovascular disease as predictors for loss of patency. Reinterventions to maintain patency were required in 26.5% of TASC II B, 43.2% of TASC II C, and 25.6% of TASCII D lesions (p = NS) and mean time to reintervention ranged from 22 to 29 months with no significant difference related to TASC II classification. A total of eight limbs (3.38%) were converted to open revascularization with two (0.85%) having a change in their initial preoperatively identified bypass target site. Three limbs (1.27%) required a major amputation during follow-up. Survival at 5 years was 44.3%; CLI and smoking were identified as risk factors for death (hazard ratio [HR] 2.6, 1.75–3.84, p < 0.001, HR 3.33, 1.70–6.52, p < 0.001), respectively. Conclusion Long-term patency of endovascular interventions for complicated femoropopliteal lesions is acceptable across TASC II classification and is associated with excellent limb salvage. Mortality in this patient cohort is significant with CLI and smoking being identified as predictors of death.

Objective Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) and motor cortex stimulation (MCS) are effective in patients with refractory neuropathic pain, their application is still empirical; there is no consensus on which technique is better. Methods To enhance the success rate of trial stimulation of invasive neuromodulation techniques and identify approapriate stimulation targets in individual patients, we performed a simultaneous trial of thalamic ventralis caudalis (Vc) DBS and MCS in 11 patients with chronic neuropathic pain and assessed the results of the trial stimulation and long-term analgesia. Results Of the 11 patients implanted with both DBS and MCS electrodes, nine (81.8%) had successful trials. Seven of these nine patients (77.8%) responded to MCS, and two (18.2%) responded to Vc DBS. With long-term follow-up (56 ± 27.5 months), the mean numerical rating scale decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The degree of percentage pain relief in the chronic MCS (n = 7) and chronic DBS (n = 2) groups were 34.1% ± 18.2% and 37.5%, respectively, and there was no significant difference (P = 0.807). Five out of the seven MCS patients (71%) and both DBS patients had long-term success with the treatments, defined as >30% pain relief compared with baseline. Conclusions With simultaneous trial of DBS and MCS, we could enhance the success rate of invasive trials. Considering the initial success rate and the less invasive nature of epidural MCS over DBS, we suggest that MCS may be a better, initial means of treatment in chronic intractable neuropathic pain. Further investigations including other subcortical target-associated medial pain pathways are warranted.

Aims There is a lack of long-term data for minimally invasive acromioclavicular (AC) joint repair. Furthermore, it is not clear if good early clinical results can be maintained over time. The purpose of this study was to report long-term results of minimally invasive AC joint reconstruction (MINAR) and compare it to corresponding short-term data. Methods We assessed patients with a follow-up of at least five years after minimally invasive flip-button repair for high-grade AC joint dislocation. The clinical outcome was evaluated using the Constant score and a questionnaire. Ultrasound determined the coracoclavicular (CC) distance. Results of the current follow-up were compared to the short-term results of the same cohort. Results A total of 50 patients (three females, 47 males) were successfully followed up for a minimum of five years. The mean follow-up was 7.7 years (63 months to 132 months). The overall Constant score was 94.4 points (54 to 100) versus 97.7 points (83 to 100) for the contralateral side showing a significant difference for the operated shoulder (p = 0.013) The mean difference in the CC distance between the operated and the contralateral shoulder was 3.7 mm (0.2 to 7.8; p = 0.010). In total, 16% (n = 8) of patients showed recurrent instability. All these cases were performed within the first 16 months after introduction of this technique. A total of 84% (n = 42) of the patients were able to return to their previous occupations and sport activities. Comparison of short-term and long-term results revealed no significant difference for the Constant Score (p = 0.348) and the CC distance (p = 0.974). Conclusion The clinical outcome of MINAR is good to excellent after long-term follow-up and no significant differences were found compared to short-term results. We therefore suggest this is a reliable technique for surgical treatment of high-grade AC joint dislocation. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(7):918–924.
