Background. The high recurrence rate after surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse makes it necessary to improve therapeutic methods. Objective: to develop and scientifically substantiate the use of a rehabilitation complex, including general magnetotherapy, electromyostimulation with biofeedback in combination with fractional microablative therapy with a CO2 laser, in patients of different age groups with rectocele after surgery. Methods. The article presents the treatment data for 100 women of childbearing, peri- and menopausal age with rectocele IIIII degree, which were divided into 2 groups comparable in terms of clinical and functional characteristics (main and control), within each group they were divided by 2 subgroups: subgroup A included women of childbearing age, subgroup B included women of peri- and menopausal age. The patients of the main group in the early postoperative period after plastic surgery for rectocella (from 1 day) underwent a course of general magnetotherapy and in the late postoperative period (one month after the operation) they performed a set of measures consisting of a course of electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles and a special complex physiotherapy exercises and 2 intravaginal procedures of fractional microablative CO2 laser therapy with an interval of 45 weeks. Patients in the control group after surgical treatment of rectocele in the late postoperative period received symptomatic therapy, including painkillers and antispasmodics, which served as a backdrop for patients of the main group. Results. As a result of the studies, it was found that regardless of the age and severity of uterine blood flow disorders in the uterine arteries in patients with rectocele, the most pronounced dynamics was observed in patients of the main group, which, in our opinion, is associated primarily with the vasoactive effects of general magnetotherapy, manifested in the removal of spasm from arteries and arterioles, improving the contractility of the veins and increasing venous outflow, which in combination with electrical stimulation, exercises to strengthen the muscles of the pelvis bottom and fractional microablative therapy allowed to obtain such a pronounced vasocorrigating effect. Conclusions. Due to the pathogenetic effect of the developed complex (electrical stimulation, exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and fractional microablative therapy) on one of the main mechanisms of the development of the disease, a pronounced vasocorrecting effect was obtained.

Background. Rectocele is one of the leading causes of abnormal position and dysfunction of the pelvic floor and rectum. Objective: to develop and scientifically substantiate the use of a rehabilitation complex, including general magnetotherapy, electromyostimulation with biofeedback in combination with fractional microablative CO2 laser therapy in patients of different age groups with rectocele after surgery. Methods. The article presents the results of treatment of 100 women with rectocele, who were divided into main and control groups, within each group, depending on their age, they were divided into 2 subgroups: women of childbearing age were included in subgroup A, and women of peri- and menopausal age were included in subgroup B. Patients of the main group in the early postoperative period after plastic surgery for rectocele (from 1 day) were given a course of General magnetotherapy and in the late postoperative period (one month after the operation) a set of measures was performed, consisting of a course of electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles 2 intravaginal procedures of fractional microablative CO2 laser therapy at intervals of 45 weeks. Patients of the control group after surgical treatment of rectocele in the late postoperative period received symptomatic therapy, including painkillers and spasmolytics and a set of Kegel exercises. Results. Significant improvements in postoperative treatment were observed in patients of the main group: pelvic pain and periodic pain in the lower abdomen and lower back disappeared in 100% of cases; the main complaints related to violation of rectal emptying and urination were preserved in no more than 57% of cases, sexual complaints in 5%; in 95% of cases, general, vegetative and pre-climacteric complaints disappeared. Conclusion. As a result of the conducted research, it is shown that under the influence of the developed rehabilitation complex, regardless of age, there was a highly reliable dynamics of all complaints due to the influence of physical factors included in it on various pathogenetic links in the development of the disease.

Surgical treatment of lesions of the facial nerve by an hypoglossal-facial anastomosis takes a long time to re-sprout of the nerve fibers to the facial muscles. The recovery time of facial function after surgical treatment of patients with paralysis of the facial nerve is long enough and can start from 6-8 months after surgery and last up to 2 years. Thus, all this time the mimic muscles are in a state of denervation. The purpose of this work was to determine the effect of electrical stimulation of facial muscles in patients with lesions of the facial nerve of different etiology after hypoglossal -facial anastomosis. Materials and methods: To evaluate the results of the use of early postoperative transcutaneus electrical stimulation, a low frequency FES was used, starting from the 2nd month after performing a XII-VII anastomosis. Assessment of the recovery of facial nerve function was performed 1 year after surgery. The study included 88 patients who underwent surgery to restore facial nerve function - hypoglossal -facial anastomosis. The survey was divided into 2 groups. The first (main) group consisted of 28 patients who underwent FES of facial muscles in the postoperative period, and the second group (comparison) consisted of 60 patients who underwent XII-VII anastomosis according to the following by the same method, but no further pharmacological or physiotherapeutic agents were used that could affect facial nerve regeneration. Results and discussion: According to this scale, the surveyed control group after 12 months. After the operation of XII-VII anastomosis according to the classical method, the following distribution was observed: The 1st degree of recovery of facial nerve function was not present in any of the patients, the 2nd degree had 2 (3.33%) patients, the thirds - 28 (46, 66%), IV - 20 (33,33%), V - 6 (10%) and VI - 4 (6,66%). In patients in the main group (where FES was used), distribution by degrees of recovery of facial nerve function on the House-Brackman scale after 12 months. after surgery it had the following character: II degree had 2 (6.45%) examined, III - 17 (54.83%), IV - 5 (22.58%), V - 2 (7.4%) and VI - 2 (7.4%). Conclusions: A statistically significant difference was observed in the postoperative period when comparing the mean M-responses of mimic muscles registered at different times after surgery in control subjects compared with patients in the main group in which FES was used. In addition, in the main group, a significantly larger number of patients reported a recovery of FN function to grade III-IV on the House-Brackman scale. Therefore, based on the results of the evaluation of the function of FN on the House-Brackman scale and electromyographic examination data in patients who underwent XII-VII anastomosis, it can be argued that with the use of FES in the postoperative period of recovery of facial nerve function is significantly faster and more complete in compared to the control group.

Background. The specific weight of genital prolapse among gynecological nosologies in Russia in the departments of operative gynecology ranges from 28 to 38.9% and in the structure of planned indications for surgical treatment ranks third after benign tumors and endometriosis. Aim. Development and implementation of new comprehensive rehabilitation programs for women with IIIII degree rectocele after surgical treatment. Methods. The article presents the treatment data for 100 women of different age groups with IIIII degree rectocele who, in the early postoperative period after plastic surgery for rectocell, used to improve the condition of the vaginal mucosa with general magnetotherapy, electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles, a special complex of physiotherapy exercises and intravaginal procedures of fractional microablative carbon dioxide laser therapy. The patients were divided into 2 groups comparable in terms of clinical and functional characteristics; within each group, depending on age, they were divided into 2 subgroups: women of childbearing age were included in subgroup A, and peri- and menopausal women were included in subgroup B. To assess the condition of the vaginal mucosa and maturity of the vaginal epithelium after surgery in patients included in the study, a pH-metry of the vaginal discharge was performed and the Vaginal Health Index was determined. Results. As a result of the studies, it was found that a more pronounced therapeutic effect was obtained with the use of the complex, which includes a course of general magnetotherapy from the first day after surgery, as well as a month after surgery, a course of electromyostimulation with biological connection of the pelvic floor muscles and a special complex of physiotherapy exercises and 2 intravaginal procedures of fractional microablative carbon dioxide laser therapy. Conclusion. The obtained results indicate a pronounced therapeutic effect of the complex, which includes a course of General magnetotherapy from the first day after surgery, a course of electromyostimulation with biological connection of pelvic floor muscles and a special complex of physical therapy, as well as 2 intravaginal procedures of fractionation microablative therapy with a carbon dioxide laser 1 month after surgery..

Abstract Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI), according to the Committee of the International Continence Society Standards, is defined as any involuntary urine loss associated to exertion conditions. This urine loss can be called Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and when the detrusor muscle becomes inactive Material and methods: The goal of this study was verifying intravaginal electrical stimulation effects on bladder floor mobility, pelvic floor muscles´ width, their contraction ability and the quality of life of 40 women whose age ranged from 35 to 55 and who were diagnosed with Stress Urinary Incontinence disorder. They were split into two groups: Geletro (underwent 16 perineal electrical stimulation sessions) and control group, Gc (no intervention). The variables were respectively evaluated by the following instruments: transvaginal ultrassonography (Toshiba trademark), Phenix electromyographic biofeedback and King´s Health Questionnaire. Results: The results were bladder floor mobility reduction (Δ% = -9,13%, p=0,0930), width increase on pelvic floor muscles (Δ% = 11,64%, p= 0,2924), both not significant, muscle strength increase due to biofeedback (Δ% =60,49%, p= 0,0001) and to AFA* (Δ% = 24,53%, p=0,0001), and significant decrease of all questionnaire scores: DOM 1 (Δ% = -50,00%, p = 0,000), DOM 2 (Δ% = -55,14%, p= 0,005), DOM 3 (Δ% =-74,98 %, p= 0,002), DOM 4 (Δ% = -73,87%, p= 0,002), DOM 5 (Δ% = -68,91%, p= 0,001), DOM 6 (Δ% = -85,90%, p= 0,000), DOM 7 (Δ% = -72,48%, p= 0,014), DOM 8 (Δ% =-71,88 %, p= 0,030), DOM 9Δ% =-73,29 %, p= 0,023) Conclusions: The Geletro group in comparison to the Gc which showed that intravaginal electrical stimulation improved the pelvic floor anatomically and functionally and also the quality of life of Geletro group. Stress Urinary Incontinence improvement could only be subjectively demonstrated.

Purpose. Im proving the results of treatment of patients with ureteral stones and reducing the dam aging effects of contact lithotripsy.Materials and methods. In this study, 48 patients were examined aged 20 to 63 years. All patients admitted to the urology department with diagnoses: urolithiasis, calculus of the ureter. In all cases contact ureterolithotripsy with stenting of the upper urinary tract were performed. The patients were divided into two groups: main and control. 25 patients (52 .1%) were included into the main group, which in the postoperative period, we used low-level laser therapy (L-therapy). 23 patients were included in a control group (47.9%) who did not receive low-laser therapy. Laboratory tests and ultrasound with Doppler renal blood vessels scan were performed on admission, on the first day after the operation and on the 5-th day of hospitalization. Low-intensity laser therapy was performed within 5 days after contact ureterolithotripsy on projection of placement of stone and kidney projection by series for 5 minutes.Results. All patients admitted to the hospital, were spared from ureteral stones. In the main group during the treatment with L-therapy a decrease in the level of beta-2 microglobulin to normal was observed. (4.8 ± 0.1 mg/l on the first day. On the 5th day 2 .3 + 0.1 mg/l). In the control group during the treatment without the use of L-therapy, the average level of beta-2 microglobulin decreased but did not reach normal levels. (5.5 ± 0.1 mg/l on the first day. On the 5th day 3,2 ±0, l mg/l).Resistance index in the study group decreased compared to the control. In the control group, cases of acute pyelonephritis were observed. The average hospital stay for patients of the main group (6 days) was less than in the control group (6 .5 + days).Conclusion. The use of laser therapy in the treatment of patients who did undergo ureterolithotripsy can reduce the length of stay of the patient in the hospital and reduce the risk of acute pyelonephritis in the postoperative period. Also it can reduce the damaging effect of lithotripsy on the renal tissues.
