Single Approach

Diabetic osteoarthropathy is one of the most difficult complication of diabetes mellitus, requiring the cooperation of a many of specialitys, including traumatologists - orthopedists. However, there is no single approach to the choice of orthopedic treatment tactics for this group of patients. From 2015 to 2018 inclusive, there were 35 patients with diabetic osteoarthropathy that received conservative or surgical orthopedic treatment. 11 patients received conservative orthopedic treatment; 24 patients received surgical treatment. A total of 26 surgical interventions were performed. Two types of surgical interventions were performed: 1) resection of the protruding fragment of one or another bone of the tarsus - 12 operations 2) reconstructive surgery aimed at correcting gross deformation of the middle and / or hindfoot - 14 operations. Along with general clinical examination, all patients underwent orthopedic examination, determining the degree of blood supply disturbance. A differentiated approach to choosing the method of orthopedic treatment of the presented group of patients allowed to restore limb supportability, ensure stability in the ankle joint and joints of the middle foot, create conditions for healing and prevention of relapse of the ulcer. The experience gained allowed us to offer indications for a particular method of orthopedic treatment of foot deformities in diabetic osteoarthropathy, depending on the stage of the pathological process, its location, the severity of the deformation, and the clinical course of this pathology.

The aim of the work was to improve the results of surgical treatment of complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis. Materials and methods: The results of surgical treatment of 181 patients with complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis have been analyzed. All these patients were treated in surgical clinic of 2 nd medical faculty of National Pyrogov Memorial Medical University in Vinnytsya. Results: It is possible preoperative indirectly assess the severity of fibro- degenerative changes in pancreas, that includes 1 – the definition of pain type; 2 – CT or MRI (Marseilles- Rome classification); 3 – assessment of the stage of chronic pancreatitis (Büchler classification); 4 – patient's nutrition status and preoperative differential diagnosis with pancreatic cancer; 5 – assessment of the fibrosis severity (elastomers). The key point in treatment depended on intraoperative examination: detection of strictures of the main pancreatic duct (pacemaker of chronic pancreatitis); the tissue pressure resistance to the liquid, which is the maximum value> 200 mmHg, in the region of stricture and falls in other parts of the pancreas; pressure in the main pancreas duct, which rises only in 59.5% of patients. The head of the pancreas was involved in the pathological process in 83.8%, in 16.2% it was isolated in the isthmus or the body and tail of the pancreas. In general, the distal pancreas was involved in 37.8%. At computer morphometry of histological samples, the area of connective tissue fields reached 81.4 ± 6.62%, preserved exocrine part in 4.87 ± 1.62%, endocrine – 1.92 ± 0.12%, total area of ducts – 6 , 47 ± 1.12%. Conclusions: The combined Frey-Izbickiy local resection provides a wide excision of the pacemaker (stricture) of chronic pancreatitis. In case of extrapancreatic complications or repeated surgical interventions on the pancreas due to chronic pancreatitis, this effect can be achieved by pancreatoduodenal resection.

Analyzed the features of the surgical treatment of carbuncles. The severity of the purulent-necrotic process was assessed, the significance of the timely diagnosis of the inflammatory stage and the choice of the timing of surgical treatment is shown. The features of the options of surgical tactics - from gentle to radical surgical interventions, methods of intraoperative assessment of tissue viability in the inflammatory focus are described. The necessity of a differentiated approach to the treatment of carbuncles depending on the stage of the disease, the prevalence of the pathological process and its localization is substantiated. The significance of restorative skin-plastic surgery in the replacement of postnecrectomy defects of epithelial tissues in the treatment of extensive carbuncles is shown. Ways of improving the results of treatment of patients with carbuncles are outlined, including timely diagnosis, a differentiated approach to surgical treatment, rational antibacterial therapy, and adequate general treatment.

Introduction: Morbid obesity (MO) has a significant impact on mortality, health and quality of life of patients. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common comorbidity in patients with MO. The aim is to study T2DM remission and to develop a prediction model for T2DM remission after two-stage surgical treatment of patients with MO. Materials and methods: The study included 97 patients with MO. The mean BMI was 68.08 (95% CI: 66.45 - 69.71) kg/m2. 70 (72,2%) patients with MO were diagnosed with T2DM. The first stage of treatment for the main group (n=60) included the IGB placement, for the control group (n=37) - conservative therapy. In the second stage of treatment the patients underwent bariatric surgery. The study addresses such indicators as BMI, percentage of weight loss, percentage of excess weight loss, ASA physical status class, fasting glucose level, HbA1c, C-peptide. Results: Two-stage treatment of morbidly obese patients with T2DM promotes complete T2DM remission in 68.1% of patients. The risk prediction model for failure to achieve complete T2DM remission 12 months after LRYGB based on a baseline C-peptide level has a high predictive value, AUC = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.69-0.93), OR = 0.23 ( 95% CI: 0.08-0.67). Conclusions: Two-stage treatment of patients with MO promotes improvement of carbohydrate metabolism indicators. With a C-peptide level > 3.7 ng/ml, prediction of complete T2DM remission 12 months after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is favorable.

IntroductionThe use of non-invasive vascular and perfusion diagnostics are an important part of assessing lower extremity ulceration and amputation risk in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods for detecting impaired microvascular vasodilatory function in patients with diabetes may have the potential to identify sites at risk of ulceration prior to clinically identifiable signs. Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) uses patterned near-infrared and visible light spectroscopy to determine tissue oxygen saturation and hemoglobin distribution within the superficial and deep dermis, showing distinct microcirculatory and oxygenation changes that occur prior to neuropathic and neuroischemic ulceration.Research designs and methods35 patients with diabetes mellitus and a history of diabetic foot ulceration were recruited for monthly imaging with SFDI. Two patients who ulcerated during the year-long longitudinal study were selected for presentation of their clinical course alongside the dermal microcirculation biomarkers from SFDI.ResultsPatient 1 developed a neuropathic ulcer portended by a focal increase in tissue oxygen saturation and decrease in superficial papillary hemoglobin concentration 3 months prior. Patient 2 developed bilateral neuroischemic ulcers showing decreased tissue oxygen saturation and increased superficial papillary and deep dermal reticular hemoglobin concentrations.ConclusionsWounds of different etiology show unique dermal microcirculatory changes prior to gross ulceration. Before predictive models can be developed from SFDI, biomarker data must be correlated with the clinical course of patients who ulcerate while being followed longitudinally.Trial registration numberNCT03341559.

AbstractIn the Finnish medical discussion during the middle decades of the twentieth century, the challenging differential diagnostics between hyperthyroidism and various neuroses was perceived to yield a risk of unnecessary surgical interventions of psychiatric patients. In 1963, the Finnish surgeon Erkki Saarenmaa claimed that ‘the most significant mark of a neurotic was a transverse scar on the neck’, a result of an unnecessary thyroid surgery. The utterance was connected to the complex nature of thyroid diseases, which seemed to be to ‘a great extent psychosomatic’. Setting forth from this statement, the article aims to decipher the connection between hyperthyroidism, unnecessary surgical treatment and the psychosomatic approach in Finnish medicine. Utilising a wide variety of published medical research and discussion in specialist journals, the article examines the theoretical debate around troublesome diagnostics of functional complaints. It focuses on the introduction of new medical ideas, namely the concepts of ‘psychosomatics’ and ‘stress’. In the process, the article aims to unveil a definition of psychosomatic illness that places it on a continuum between psychological and somatic illness. That psychosomatic approach creates a space with interpretative potential can be applied to the historiography of psychosomatic phenomena more generally. Further inquiry into the intersections of surgery and psychosomatics would enrich both historiographies. It is also argued that the historical study of psychosomatic syndromes may become skewed, if the term ‘psychosomatic’ is from the outset taken to signify something that is all in the mind.

Abstract. The experience of treating 263 patients with acute abscesses and lung gangrene is generalized. Acute abscesses are mainly subject to conservative treatment; surgical interventions were performed in 13%. With gangrene of the lung, conservative treatment and palliative operations are futile. Preference is given to early radical operations performed before dangerous complications occur. Possible ways to reduce mortality in acute pulmonary suppuration are indicated.

Study Results

A surgical treatment of the joints of the pelvic ring, especially the pubic joint is a separate and complex problem. When using standard plates, which are applied in the treatment of patients with fresh injuries to stabilize old injuries of the pelvic ring, problems arise with fatigue fracture of plates, destabilization of the metal structure and the need for repeated surgical interventions. Therefore, in the case of old injuries, during surgical treatment, it is necessary to use other tactical approaches to fixing pelvic injuries and to search for adapted structures for such cases. The purpose — to study the features of fixation of old injuries of the pelvic ring and to determine the results of different methods of the anterior pelvis fixation in old cases. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the performed surgical treatment was carried out. In 2000-2015, in the first department of National Medical Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after N.N. Priorov, 117 patients underwent surgical treatment of old injuries of the anterior pelvic ring under our supervision using standard reconstructive plates applied in the surgical treatment of new injuries of the pelvic ring. Results. Of the 65 patients who underwent fixation of an old injury of the anterior semiring with AO reconstructive plates and AO pelvic plates, installed in a standard manner as in new injuries, 12 patients (10,2%) experienced migration or fracture of structures within 2 to 6 months from the operation. In 52 patients, fixation of the anterior section with two AO plates was applied, one of which was located in a standard way along the upper edge of the pubic bones, the second was implanted additionally along the anterior surface of the pelvic ring perpendicular to the first one. In this group, migration and destabilization of the structures was observed in 7 patients (13,4%) within a period from 2 weeks to 2 months from the date of the operation. Conclusion. The analysis of the study results suggests that surgical treatment of old injuries of the anterior pelvic ring requires a special approach to the choice of the surgical fixation method, which differs from the treatment of new injuries. Over time, in the absence of treatment for injuries and ruptures of the pelvic ring, cicatricial-fibrous adhesions of the pelvic ring occur, which does not always ensure the stability of the pelvic ring, but leads to rigid post-traumatic deformity of the pelvis. Taking into account the cases of destabilization in groups 1 — 10,2% and 2 — 13,4%, as well as the assessment of the long-term results according to the Majeed scale, the use of standard methods for fixing the anterior pelvic semiring can be considered ineffective in old pelvic injuries.
