COSTAL HUMPBACK RESECTION AS A FINAL STAGE OF IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS SURGICAL TREATMENT

Objective. To analyse results of multistage surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis including costal humpback resection. Material and Methods. From 1996 to 2005 twenty girls with idiopathic scoliosis underwent spine deformity correction with Harrington distraction rod with Drummond interspinous wires (Group I) or with Cotrel – Dubousset Horizon Instrumentation (Group II). The final long-dated stage after correction of deformity included the costal humpback resection at the convex side only. Radiologic and topographic examinations were performed, and lung vital capacity parameter was used for lung function assessment. Patients answered the Russian version of SRS-24 questionnaire after correction and at each follow-up examination. Results. In Group I the mean curvature was 81.7° ± 26.7° (range, 55–107°) before correction and 34.5° ± 13.1° after correction (primary curve correction 57.8 ± 14.1 %). Mean correction loss in dynamics before resection was 8°, after resection 4.3°. In Group II the primary curve magnitude before correction was 87.4° ± 27.1° (range, 48–126°), after correction 42.7° ± 16.9° (primary curve correction 51.9 ± 9.6 %). Average correction loss in dynamics before resection was 3.5°, after resection 2.4°. Spirometric findings presented the following dynamics: lung vital capacity before resection was 1980 ml with mean early postoperative decrease by 16.8 % and subsequent reversion to the preoperative level or increase to 2010 ml. According to the questionnaire survey 100 patients gave the consent for surgery. Conclusion. Costal humpback resection as a cosmetic intervention improves the patient’s assessment of spine deformity surgical correction result.

Background/Aim. A modern approach to surgical treatment of tuboperitoneal infertility is based on laporascopic techniques. The aim of this study was to compare results of tuboperitoneal infertility treatment by the use of laparoscopy and classical laparotomy. Methods. A retrospectiveprospective study on 66 women treated operatively form tuboperitoneal infertility was performed. Data from patient's anamnesis and those related to the surgical treatment results, obtained by the use of an inquiry, were used in retrospective and prospective analysis, respectively. Chi-square test was used in statistical analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results. Classical laparotomy was used on 34 women in a period from 1996 to 1997, while 32 women were operated laparoscopically in a period from 1999 to 2000. The results were as follows: a total number of conceived women was 16 (24%), seven in the group I (20.6%) and nine in the group II (28.1%); 13 women were with one pregnancy, six in the group I (17.6%) and seven in the group II (22%). Twice pregnant were three women, one in the group I (2.9%) and two in the group II (6.2%). The resulting pregnancies were: five women with abortion spontaneous, two in the group I (5.9%) and three in the group II (9.4%); two women with extrauterine pregnancy in the group I (5.9%); three with pretemporal birth, one in the group I (2.9%) and two in the group II (6.2%), while six women were with the temporal birth, two in the group I (5.9%) and four in the group II (12.5%). Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the results between these two groups. Conclusion. Surgical treatment of tubeperitoneal infertility, regardless of the used methods (classical laparotomy or laparoscopy) was successful in a great number of women. These methods have a great advantage over in vitro fertilization, and they should not be ignored.

Background/Aim. Esotropia is the most common manifestation form of strabism accompanied by refraction deviations and amblyopia. The aim of this prospective study was to present the outcomes of surgical treatment of esotropia in children and adolescents. Methods. Within the period from January 1st 2006 to February 1st 2007 at the Clinic for Ophtalmology, Military Medical Academy, Belgrade a total of 25 patients with esotropia (34 eyes) and previously corrected refraction anomaly and treated amblyopia were operated on. The patients were 4-19-year of age. All of the patients were submitted to a complete ophtalmologic and orthoptic examination prior to the surgery, and a month, three months and six months after the surgery. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia. Out of the total number of the patients nine were operated on both eyes, while 16 patients on one eye with amblyopia or frequent esodeviation. Nine patients were submitted to retroposition of the inner straight muscle, two to myectomy of the outer straight muscle, while in 14 of the patients a combination of retroposition and myectomy was performed. The patients were divided into three groups according to the preoperative angle at the distance and followed-up accordingly after the surgery. Deviation angle at the distance in the group I was 18-25 DP, in the group II 26-35 PD, while in the group III it was 36-60 PD. Results. The most numerous, group I (12 patients; 48%), a month following the surgery showed angle reduction by 55.58%, after three months 63.25%, and after six months 63.92%. The group II consisted of 8 patients (32%) showed angle reduction by 70.75% a month following the surgery, by 76% after three months, and by 79.12% after six months. The group III (5 patients; 20%) showed angle reduction by 72.20% a month following the surgery, 79.20 after three months, and 80.12% after six months following the surgery. Conclusion. The best postoperative outcomes after a month, three and six months were obtained in the group of patients with the highest esodeviation angle at the distance solved by the surgery on both eyes. Timely surgical treatment befell into major precondition for developing and maintaining the elements of binocular vision in the operated on patients. .

Clinical And Radiological Results

Purpose. Compare the clinical and radiological results of treatment of patients with spinal deformities operated on using the PSO method and corrective fusion in the lumbar spine. Materials and methods. Retrospective monocenter cohort study. The data of 42 patients were analyzed. PSO (group I) was performed in 12 patients; 30 patients had a combination of surgical methods (group II) with mandatory ventral corrective spinal fusion at levels L4-L5, L5-S1. Clinical and radiological parameters were evaluated during hospitalization and at least 1 year later. Results. Postoperative hospitalization in group I 32.5 7.4 days, 27.1 7.4 in group II (p = 0.558758). The duration of the operation in group I was 402.5 55.6 minutes, in group II 526.0 116.2 minutes (p = 0.001124); blood loss 1862.5 454.3 ml versus 1096.0 543.3 ml (p = 0.000171). In both groups, significantly improved clinical and radiological parameters after surgery and after 1 year (p 0.05). In group II, as compared with group I after surgery and more than 1 year: lower back pain according to VAS (p = 0.015424 and p = 0.015424); below ODI after 1 year was (p = 0.000001). In group I, compared with group II after surgery and after 1 year, SVA is less (p = 0.029879 and p = 0.000014), lumbar lordosis is higher (p = 0.045002 and p = 0.024120), LDI is restored more optimally (p = 0.000001 and p = 0.000002), the GAP is lower (p = 0.005845 and p = 0.002639). The ideal Russoly type is restored more often in patients of group II (p = 0,00032). Complications in group I were noted in 12 (100%) patients, in group II in 13 (43.3%) patients (p = 0.001). Conclusions. In multistep surgical treatment compared with PSO, the anterior corrective interbody fusion L4-L5, L5-S1 reliably better and more harmoniously restores the sagittal balance parameters, has significantly lower volume of intraoperative blood loss, fewer perioperative complications and significantly improves the quality of life of patients.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of Mastodynon in terms of indications in elevated doses versus the standard dose. Materials and methods. Data were analyzed for 60 patients after surgical treatment of fibro-cystic mastopathy. Depending on the postoperative therapy received by the patients, they were divided into three groups. Group I (n = 20): patients were observed in accordance with the standards established in mammal practice and did not receive special agents that affect hormonal homeostasis. Group II (n = 20): In addition to observation, patients received Mastodynon® (1 tablet or 30 drops 2 times a day) for 6 months. Group III (n = 20): Patients were given for a post-operative rehabilitation Mastodynon® in a double dose (2 tablets or 60 drops 2 times a day) for 6 months. Results Surgical treatment without conservative therapy eliminates organic changes in the thoracic glands (GH), but hormonal disorders that have led to pathologic and histological changes in the tissues of GZ continue to exist for a long time and can lead to repeated nodal formations. In group І, 25% of patients within 2 years performed repeated sectoral resections on recurrence of nodule formation. In group І, 25% of patients within 2 years performed repeated sectoral resections on recurrence of nodule formation. The use of Mastodynon® in standard doses (group II) for postoperative rehabilitation contributes to a significant improvement in hormonal homeostasis (normalization of prolactin, estradiol and progesterone levels), a 24.7 mm decrease in the degree of cyclic mastodynia according to the visual analog scale (VAS), and the improvement of ultrasound scan Pictures of GZ in 75% of patients. The most pronounced effect of this rehabilitation approach after the surgical treatment phase was noted for the use of Mastodynone in doble doses (2 tablets or 60 drops 2 times a day) in Group III. In these patients, the degree of reduction of cyclic mastodynia was 30 mm for VAS and positive changes in the tissues of GH were noted in 85% of patients. However, the highest incidence of adverse events was also noted in Group III, although they were temporary in nature and did not require withdrawal or dose reduction. Conclusion. Despite the presence of short-term side effects and rapid rebounding in the double-dose Mastodynon® group, our study showed better results than standard doses, faster and more stable therapeutic effect. Taking into account the results obtained, it can be argued that the use of high doses of Mastodynon® may be recommended to patients for the treatment of mastopathy. For a more complete study of such an important aspect as the tolerability of high doses of Mastodynon®, it is advisable to conduct more extensive studies, taking into account the dosage form and the use of other drugs. Key words: mastopathy, postoperative rehabilitation, Mastodynon®, mastodynia.

Background: Surgical treatment of isolated pulmonary valve stenosis in infants and children has evolved over the years, shifting from the original exclusive aim at lowering right ventricle pressure to the current concomitant focus on preserving pulmonary valve function. In our study, we sought to analyze the effect of such evolving philosophy on long-term results. Methods: All consecutive patients treated in our center between July 1983 and March 2019 were included. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on the introduction into treatment practice of sparing valve techniques (1995). Actuarial survival, freedom from reintervention on the right outflow tract, transvalvular mean pressure gradient decrease, and pulmonary valve function at follow-up were analyzed. Results: One hundred twenty-three patients operated before (Group I, n=81) or since (Group II, n=42) 1995 were enrolled in the study. Mean age and weight were 3.0 ± 0.36 years and 16.6 ± 1.7kg, respectively. Early mortality occurred exclusively in 3 patients of Group 1. Transvalvular mean pressure gradient decreased in the entire patient population (from 63.28 ± 12.9mmHg to 16.46 ± 7.9mmHg). At a mean follow-up interval of 4.9 ± 33 years, freedom from death was comparable, but freedom from right ventricular outflow tract reintervention was significantly greater in Group II. Although the transvalvular gradient remained stable over time in non-reoperated survivors (mean value of 16.46 ± 7.9mmHg), pulmonary valve function on 2D-Echo showed severe incompetence in 2 patients of Group I and just mild to moderate incompetence in 20 patients of Group II, with a significantly negative effect of unsuccessful preoperative pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (14/20 vs 6/20, p=0.025) in the latter. Conclusion: Current pulmonary valve sparing techniques are associated with better results, particularly in terms of freedom from re-interventions and pulmonary valve function at follow-up. Balloon valvuloplasty prior to surgery may worsen operative results, promoting pulmonary insufficiency and therefore should probably be avoided in all patients in whom anatomical characteristics predict failure of percutaneous therapy.

Among all surgical dental diseases periodontal disease occupies one of the leading places, taking into account the prevalence of this pathology among the population and its negative consequences (loss of teeth and impaired functions of the tooth-jaw system). The severity of GP, frequent relapses and complications leads to a decrease in the quality of life of patients, signifi cant socio-economic losses, impaired chewing and speech.The aim of the study – to increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with GP III degree of severity by improving certain technological steps in the operations of Tseshynskyi-Widman-Neimann.Materials and Methods. We operated 46 patients with chronic generalized paradontitis (GP) of the III degree, divided into two groups: group I (20 people), which was the traditional modifi ed operation of Tseshynskyi-Vidman-Neimann; Patients of the group II (26 persons) – modifi ed operation of Teshynskyi-Vidman-Neimann, improved by the method of periost penetration with medical correction (using oral trays with miramistin and applications of methyluracil ointment with miramistin on periodontal tissues and postoperative sutures with application in the postoperative periods of the preparation “Glutargin “(First in injections No. 5 intravenous 5 ml (2 g) per 200 ml of 0.9 % sodium chloride solution 2 times a day and then in tablets – 4 tablets of 0.75 mg 3 times a day for a month).Results and Discussion. After the treatment, it was found that the average rate of the Schiller-Pysariev sample was higher in patients of group I (2.5 ± 0.05%) compared with the corresponding index of group II (0.95±0.04 %). After treatment, the average index of bleeding index was (0.77±0.04) points in the group I and (0.32±0.04) points in the group II. The ultrastructural state of periodontal undergoes positive transformations in shorter terms in patients of the group II. Thus, the use of peristaltic penetration with medical correction in the surgical treatment of patients with a GP of the III degree has advantages over traditional treatment.Conclusions. As a result of the research, the technological chain of the modifi ed Tseshynskyi-Vidman-Neimann operation was improved for the treatment of GP patients with a chronic course of the third degree through periosteal penetration. Ultrastructurally up to the twelfth month after operative intervention in the periodontitis of patients of the fi rst and second groups, a positive dynamics is observed; however, better morphological transformations occur in the periodontitis of patients who underwent periosteal penetration in combination with drug correction.

Objectives: To determine the effect of Age, Gender and its correlation on pulmonary functions of Forced Vital Capacity and Slow Vital Capacity in Group I (18-24 years) and Group II (25-30 years) with respect to Body Mass Index.  Methodology: Sixty healthy adults between 18-30 years were included in the study. Participants were subdivided into Group I (18 to 24 years) and Group II (25 to 30 years) each group having 15 males and 15 females. The parameters considered were expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory capacity, forced vital capacity and slow vital capacity. Spirometer RMS HELIOS 401 was used. Procedures were explained to each participant; best values from 3 maneuvers were documented and were subjected to analysis.  Results: It is noticed a significant difference in various parameters of pulmonary function. As age increases there was an increase in body mass index and the lung volume also increased. Overall males had higher pulmonary function compared to females, males in Group II (25-30 years) was better compared to males in Group I (18-24 years). With an increase in body mass index, pulmonary function was increased in males compared to females. Age, gender, age, and gender interaction effect with respect to Body Mass Index was seen.  Conclusion: Values obtained can be used as reference standard for estimation of lung volume for age group 18-30 years. In future, Spirometry can be used as a clinical assessment and management tool in the field of speech language pathology, by modifying respiratory patterns to control lung volumes, phonations and the flow of speech.

Objective. To analyze the nearest clinical and radiological results of simultaneous and staged surgical treatment of patients with degenerative sagittal imbalance.Material and Methods. Retrospective monocentric cohort study included analysis of data from 54 patients who underwent simultaneous combination of surgical methods with obligatory corrective anterior fusion at the L4–L5 or at L4–L5 and L5–S1 levels (Group I, n = 27) or similar surgical intervention though divided into stages with an interval of 5 days or more (Group II, n = 27). A comparison of clinical, radiological, and operational data during inpatient treatment was carried out.Results. The duration of surgery was 410.93 ± 76.34 minutes in Group I and 594.63 ± 102.61 minutes in Group II (p = 0.000001); the blood loss was 926.67 ± 378.63 ml versus 1345.19 ± 522.97 ml, respectively (p = 0.001575). Postoperative clinical and radiological parameters did not differ between groups: VAS back (p = 0.248647), VAS leg (p = 0.196140), PT (p = 0.115965), SVA (p = 0.208449), LL (p = 0.023654), LDI (p = 0.931646), PI-LL (p = 0.693045), GAP (p = 0.823504), and restoration of the ideal Russoly type (p = 0.111476). The incidence of perioperative complications in groups was comparable: 17 (62.96 %) in Group I and 15 (55.56 %) in Group II (p = 0.583171). Patients with a high Charlson comorbidity index had a significantly higher incidence of complications (p = 0.023471). The index of surgical invasiveness in Group I had a significant correlation with the total number of complications (r = 0.421332).Conclusion. Clinical and radiological results and the incidence of complications are comparable between single- and multistage approaches to correct sagittal balance disorders. In staged treatment, the total duration of surgery and the volume of blood loss are significantly higher. With a high Charlson comorbidity index and Mirza surgical invasiveness index, a multistage approach to the treatment of patients with sagittal imbalance is preferred.

Aim. To retrospectively analyze the results of two treatment methods for lower leg deformities associated with partial growth arrest. Materials and methods. Group I comprised 15 children who underwent osteotomy, acute overcorrection, and external fixation by Ilizarov with subsequent lengthening of the segment. Group II comprised 13 patients who underwent epiphysiodesis of the healthy part of the growth plate by drilling, osteotomy with external fixation by use of an Ortho-SUV Frame, and subsequent gradual deformity correction and lengthening. Results. In group I, overcorrection of varus deformities by mechanical axis deviation (MAD) was 18.28 ± 5.25 mm, overcorrection by mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA) was 14.86 ± 4.45°, and overcorrection by mechanical lateral distal tibial angle (mLDTA) was 12.85 ± 3.02°. Overcorrection of valgus deformities according to MAD was 15.12 ± 8.28 mm, overcorrection by mMPTA was 10.38 ± 2.77°, and overcorrection by mLDTA was 7.5 ± 3.9°. Recurrence of the deformity was observed in 11 (73%) cases (range, 5–16 months). In group II, the accuracy of correction (AC) in varus deformities for MAD was 98% and 94% for mMPTA and mLDTA. For valgus deformities, AC for MAD was 90% and 96% for mMPTA and mLDTA. The AC for anatomical proximal posterior tibial angle and anatomical anterior distal tibial angle was 96% for procurvation deformities and that for recurvation deformities was 92%. Deformity recurrence was observed in only one case within 6 months after frame removal. In 2 cases, repeat limb length discrepancy correction surgeries were performed. Conclusion. Use of epiphysiodesis of the healthy portion of the growth plate in combination with osteotomy, computer-assisted external fixation with subsequent gradual deformity correction, and lengthening in patients with deformities associated with partial physeal arrest significantly decreased the number of deformity recurrences.
