Multivisceral resections in the surgical treatment of patients with pelvic tumors

The aim of our study was to determine the indications for expanding the scope of operations in patients with pelvic extraorgan local formations. Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 7 patients with nonorgan tumors of the pelvic localization, who underwent resection on the main vessels in connection with their involvement in the tumor process, are presented. Results and discussion. A total of 7 interventions were performed on the iliac arteries — 2 resections with an end-to-end anastomosis and 5 prostheses (one case — the aorta resection with reconstruction with a bifurcation prosthesis). Patients with pelvic extraorgan tumors are a special cohort of patients, due to the presence of several organs in a narrow space, which inevitably causes them to fit snugly to the tumor. Locally advanced tumor process in extraorganic tumors involving the main vessels of the pelvis and adjacent organs is not a reason to refuse surgery, and despite the complications, repeated recurrences and previous operations, are well tolerated by patients. This is especially important due to the lack of a real alternative to surgical treatment of this group of patients. Conclusions. Surgical intervention in the treatment of pelvic inorganic tumors involving the main vessels is the only radical method of treatment. Invasion of the main arterial and venous vessels is not a contraindication to surgery in patients with pelvic tumors. Combined angioplastic interventions allow to achieve a long without recurrent period even after cytoreductive operations.

Solid Form

Experience in diagnosis and treatment of benign pelvic tumors and tumor-like diseases in children was summarized. There were 104 patients, aged 2-18 years. Complex diagnosis included modern radiologic methods (CT, MRT, angiography). The treatment was performed taking into account the nosologic form and pathologic process volume. Vast resections of pelvic bones were performed in osteochondroma, fibrous dysplasia, chondromyxoid fibroma, solid form of aneurismal cyst as well as in aneurismal cysts in cases of failed paracentetic treatment. In tumors of small sized (osteoid-osteoma, osteoblastoma) surgical treatment was performed with computer navigation. Paracentetic treatment was applied in aneurismal cysts, eosinophilic granulema of bone as well as in residual cavities after failed previous interventions. In patients with aggressive aneurismal cysts roentgenendovascular embolization of pathologic vessels in combination with paracentetic treatment or endoscopic intervention were used. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 8 years. Recurrences were noted in 3 (6.4%) patients with aneurismal cyst.

Scanning Electron

The recent development of the scanning electron microscope has added great impetus to the study of ultrastructural details of normal human ossicles. A thorough description of the ultrastructure of the human ossicles is required in order to determine changes associated with disease processes following medical or surgical treatment.Human stapes crura were obtained at the time of surgery for clinical otosclerosis and from human cadaver material. The specimens to be examined by the scanning electron microscope were fixed immediately in the operating room in a cold phosphate buffered 2% gluteraldehyde solution, washed with Ringers, post fixed in cold 1% osmic acid and dehydrated in graded alcohol. Specimens were transferred from alcohol to a series of increasing concentrations of ethyl alcohol and amyl acetate. The tissue was then critical point dried, secured to aluminum stubs and coated with gold, approximately 150A thick on a rotating stage in a vacuum evaporator. The specimens were then studied with the Kent-Cambridge S4-10 Scanning Electron Microscope at an accelerating voltage of 20KV.
