Objective To report initial experience in using a pneumatic lithotripter to treat salivary stones. Study Design Level IV retrospective study. Setting University hospital and tertiary referral center. Methods A pneumatic lithotripter was used to treat salivary stones after these were diagnosed. Probes with diameters of 0.7 mm were used. Total fragmentation was intended in all stones. Stone fragments were removed using several instruments in serial sialendoscopies to achieve complete stone clearance. Results A total of 62 patients with 77 stones were treated. Forty-three submandibular stones were treated in 34 patients, and 34 parotid stones were treated in 28 patients. An operating pressure of 2.5 bar and a single frequency mode were used. Complete fragmentation was achieved in all but one of the treated stones in both glands (98.7%). Among the patients, 90.32% became stone free and 100% symptom free. Multiple stones were treated in 24.19% of the patients, and multimodal therapy was also carried out in 24.19%. All of the glands were preserved. Conclusions The pneumatic lithotripter proved to be effective in the treatment of sialolithiasis. Stone size, location, and the gland involved were important clinical factors. The device was sufficient to achieve success without any increased risk for complications in the patients or damage to the sialendoscopes.

Abstract Image-guided spinal surgery is becoming increasingly popular because it allows surgeons to achieve minimal invasiveness and maximum precision in the performed procedures. We present our initial experience with two cases operated on using O-arm-based spinal navigation at the Clinic of Neurosurgery in St George University Hospital, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. In the first case, we performed removal of extradural spinal tumor of the sixth thoracic vertebra and O-arm-navigated pedicle screw fixation. In the second case, we performed O-arm-navigated corpectomy of the fifth cervical vertebra and anterior spinal reconstruction and fusion with titanium expandable mesh and cervical plate in connection with degenerative narrowing of the cervical spinal canal that lead to clinically manifested myelopathy. The initial experience allows us to conclude that O-arm-based image-guided spinal surgery can lead to considerably higher precision of spinal instrumented procedures. At the same time, it reduces the irradiation dose of the patient and surgical team.

KŠHS turi 1 iš 4000–6000 naujagimių. Negydant mirštamumas pirmaisiais gyvenimo metais būna didesnis kaip 90%. Apžvelgiame pradinę KŠHS chirurginio gydymo patirtį. Ligoniai ir metodai Nuo 2005 m. iki dabar operuoti 9 naujagimiai, turintys KŠHS. 6 pacientai operuoti stabilizavus jų būklę, 3 operuoti nestabilios būklės esant kraujotakos nepakankamumui. 4 pacientams atlikta klasikinė Norwoodo operacija su modifikuota Blalocko ir Taussig jungtimi, likusiems 5 atlikta Norwoodo operacijos Sano modifikacija. Rezultatai Pirmas Norwoodo korekcijų etapas buvo sėkmingas 5 (55,6%) naujagimiams: 3 buvo padaryta modifikuota B-T jungtis, 2 – Sano jungtis. Išvada KŠHS chirurginis gydymas mūsų centre kol kas yra vadinamosios mokymosi kreivės laikotarpio. Norwoodo I etapo korekcijos rezultatai turėtų gerėti padidėjus operacijų skaičiui ir griežčiau atrenkant pacientus, atsižvelgiant į rizikos veiksnius.

The incidence of HLHS is 1 in 4000 to 6000 live births. The mortality rate exceeds 90% without treatment in the first year of life. We review the initial experience in the surgical treatment of HLHS at our Centre. Patients and methods There were 9 children operated on for HLHS from the year 2005 till now. Six of them went to operation in hemodinamically stable condition and three had a substantial insufficiency of systemic circulation. Four underwent Norwood I procedure with modified Blalock–Taussig shunt and five had Sano modification. Results The first-stage Norwood procedure was successful in five (55.6%) cases – three with B-T shunt and 2 with Sano. Conclusions Surgical treatment of HLHS remains in the learning curve period at our institution. We expect the rise of survival rate with the increase of case load and a more selective approach considering the risk factors. Key words: hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Norwood procedure
