Abstract Background This study sought to investigate the clinical characteristics of congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) and to compare the efficacies of thoracoscopy and traditional open surgery in infants with CDE. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 125 children with CDE (90 boys, 35 girls; median age: 12.2 months, range: 1 h-7 years; body weight: 1.99–28.5 kg, median body weight: 7.87 ± 4.40 kg) admitted to our hospital in the previous 10 years, and we statistically analyzed their clinical manifestations and surgical methods. Results A total of 108 children in this group underwent surgery, of whom 67 underwent open surgery and 41 underwent thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication. A total of 107 patients recovered well postoperatively, except for 1 patient who died due to respiratory distress after surgery. After 1–9.5 years of follow-up, 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 have a decrease in diaphragm position after 1–6 years of follow-up. 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 in the thoracoscopy group than in the open group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions The clinical symptoms of congenital diaphragmatic eventration vary in severity. Patients with severe symptoms should undergo surgery. 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 a short operation time, less trauma, and a rapid recovery. Thus, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication should be the first choice for children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.

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 with hiatal hernia died of respiratory distress after surgery.Followed up for 1-9.5 years,107 patients had significantly improved preoperative symptoms.Eleven of the 17 children who did not undergo surgical treatment did not see a significant decrease in diaphragm position after 1-6 years of follow-up.In the thoracoscopy group, the lung function values of 13 children before operation and 3 year after operation was compared. The difference in percent of expiratory time to peak tidal time (tPTEF%tE) and percentage of tidal volume to peak tidal expiratory flow(VPEF%VE) was significant (P<0.05).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 early. All kinds of surgical methods can achieve better results.The clinical symptoms of children after diaphragm Plication operation are better than those before operation.We believe that the continuous suture of barbed wire thread applied to thoracoscopy diaphragm Plication surgery has quick operation time, less trauma, and quick recovery should be the preferred treatment method for infants with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.

Abstract Background Spondylodiscitis is an unusual infectious disease, which usually originates as a pathogenic infection of intervertebral discs and then spreads to neighboring vertebral bodies. The objective of this study is to evaluate percutaneous debridement and drainage using intraoperative CT-Guide in multilevel spondylodiscitis. Methods From January 2002 to May 2017, 23 patients with multilevel spondylodiscitis were treated with minimally invasive debridement and drainage procedures in our department. The clinical manifestations, evolution, and minimally invasive debridement and drainage treatment of this refractory vertebral infection were investigated. Results Of the enrolled patients, the operation time ranged from 30 minutes to 124 minutes every level with an average of 48 minutes. Intraoperative hemorrhage was minimal. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 12 months to 6.5 years with an average of 3.7 years. There was no reactivation of infection in the treated vertebral segment during follow-up, but two patients with fungal spinal infection continued to progress by affecting adjacent segments prior to final resolution. According to the classification system of Macnab, one patient had a good outcome at the final follow-up, and the rest were excellent. Conclusions Minimally invasive percutaneous debridement and irrigation using intraoperative CT-Guide is an effective minimally invasive method for the treatment of multilevel spondylodiscitis.

Background: Multidirectional shoulder instability (MDI) refractory to rehabilitation can be treated with arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction with suture anchors. No studies have reported on outcomes or examined the risk factors that may contribute to poor outcomes in adolescent athletes. Hypothesis/Purpose: To identify risk factors for surgical failure by comparing anatomic, clinical, and demographic variables in adolescents who underwent surgical intervention for MDI. Methods: All patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery at one institution between January 2009 and April 2017 were reviewed. Patients >20 years old at presentation were excluded. Multidirectional instability was defined by positive drive-through sign on arthroscopy plus positive sulcus sign and/or multidirectional laxity on anterior and posterior drawer testing while under anesthesia. Two-year minimum follow-up was required, but those whose treatment failed earlier were included for reporting purposes. Demographics and intraoperative findings were recorded, as were Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) scoring, Pediatric and Adolescent Shoulder Survey (PASS), and the short version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) results. Results: Eighty adolescents (88 shoulders) were identified for having undergone surgical treatment of MDI. Of these 80 patients, 42 (50 shoulders; 31 female, 19 male) were available at a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Mean follow-up was 6.3 years (range, 2.8-10.2 years). Thirteen (26.0%) shoulders experienced surgical failure defined by recurrence of subluxation and instability, all of which underwent re-operation. Time to re-operation occurred at a mean of 1.9 years (range, 0.8-3.2). Our cohort had an overall survivorship of 96% at 1 year after surgery and 76% at 3 years. None of the anatomic, clinical, or demographic variables tested, or the presence of generalized ligamentous laxity, were correlated with subjective outcomes or re-operation. Number of anchors used was not different between those that failed and those that did not fail. Patients reported a mean SANE score of 83.3, PASS score of 85.0, and QuickDASH score of 6.8. Return to prior level of sport (RTS) occurred in 56% of patients. Conclusion: Multidirectional shoulder instability is a complex disorder that can be challenging to treat. Adolescent MDI that is refractory to non-surgical management appears to have long-term outcomes after surgical intervention that are comparable to adolescent patients with unidirectional instability. In patients who do experience failure of capsulorraphy, we show that failure will most likely occur within 3 years of the index surgical treatment. [Table: see text][Figure: see text]

Resection Of The Pancreas

The experience of surgical treatment of 154 patients having chronic pancreatitis with preferential injury of the pancreas head which underwent different operative interventions: isolated resection of pancreatic head ( based upon Berger surgery - 24, Frey surgery - 39), pancreatoduodenal resection ( with gastric resection - 22, with preserved pylorus - 43) and drainage surgeries - 26 is presented in the article. The surgery of isolated resection of pancreatic head has less number of nearest unfavorable results compared with pancretoduodenal resection with preserved pylorus. Proximal resection of the pancreas the variants of which are different isolated resection of pancreatic head is superior upon surgeries with full or partly resection of the duodenum due to fast normalization of the motor-evacuation function, less rate of the intestinal reflux and portion character of duodenal evacuation. In the follow-up period after pancreatoduodenal resection, atrophic processes occur in distal areas of the pancreas which are followed by clinical manifestations of exo- and endocrinous insufficiency. The surgery of longitudinal pancreatic jejunostomy does not avoid pathologic changes in the organ head and pain syndrome.

OBJECTIVE. Determine the frequency of clinical manifestations of hemorrhoids and constipation in people seeking advice about hemorrhoids. In the course of the treatment of patients with hemorrhoids phlebotropic evaluate the effectiveness of therapy micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF). MATERIALS AND METHODS. This multicenter study, including screening and observation part, which is part of the International Research «CHORUS» (Chronic venous and hemorrhoid diseases evaluation and scientific research), conducted in nine centers in different regions of Russia, 80 doctors of Coloproctology. In the screening group included 2668 patients who had investigated the incidence of constipation, as a risk factor for hemorrhoids. Conservative treatment, the foundation of which was, Moffitt therapy, received 1952 patients with stage I-IV hemorrhoids. Evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated on the basis of a questionnaire. RESULTS. The questionnaire shows that constipation suffered - 766 (28,8 %) patients. Violation of defecation patterns and changes in stool consistency was observed in 1155 (43,9%) and 633 (25.5 %), respectively. At the same time, 288 (11,1 %) indicated a tendency to loose stools and diarrhea. Conservative treatment, the foundation of which is phlebotropic MPFF therapy conducted in patients of observational group has shown its efficiency in all grades of hemorrhoids. During the entire observation period of conservative treatment was effective in 1489 (76,3 %) patients. Surgical treatment was performed in 463 (23 %) patients grade I-IV hemorrhoids, the main part of patients with grade III -199 (43,1 %) and grade IV hemorrhoids - 68 (64,2 %). CONCLUSION. Conservative treatment of hemorrhoid disease, which is the basis on phlebotropic MPFF therapy, is effective at all stages of hemorrhoids, but in patients with grade III and grade IV disease requires surgical treatment.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is an infectious zoonotic disease that is caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. The disease is generally identified accidentally because of the long asymptomatic period, has a malignant behaviour, and mainly occurs in the liver. Usually it is diagnosed in adults and is very rare in pediatric patients. We report two cases of AE and 1 differential case between AE and cystic echinococcosis (CE) in children: two of them had lesions in the liver and one had rare extrahepatic presentation of a cyst in the spleen. All our patients received chemotherapy with albendazole because surgical treatment was not recommended. The children were followed-up from 10 to 30 months and no significant improvement was seen. In this report we discuss the difficulties we faced in the treatment and follow-up of these patients. We also review the main clinical manifestations, general diagnostic methods, and treatment options of AE according to the current literature.

The follow-up data on 39 cases of stage I malignant melanoma treated with CO2 laser are compared to those of an analogous group of cases treated by traditional surgical methods and selected for their clinical and pathologic similarities with the laser-treated group. The findings were expressed in terms of tumor-free time and were evaluated by variance analysis. The data showed that traditional methods gave better results. CO2 laser surgery requires longer healing time, which may have a negative effect on the course of the disease.
