Upper Jaw

Many diseases of the human body, which need surgical treatment, require from the surgeon not only the elimination of this disease according to all the rules of surgical technique and modern asepsis, but also proper postoperative care. The latter is sometimes quite difficult, especially on wounds located near the so-called natural openings and on the path of the respiratory and digestive tract, due to the constant contamination of the wound by the separation and discharge of these pathways.

Early Healing

The patient's post-surgical management is just as critical as the surgical treatment planning and management of the patient. Patients who do not receive proper and contemporary post-surgical instructions, or who do not follow them, are at higher risk for complications such as pain, swelling, and infection, as well as the possibility of altered healing of both the oral soft tissues and supporting osseous structures. During postoperative phase, the three most important factors to consider are the patient comfort, wound stability and plaque control. These are achieved through a combination of good surgical technique and careful postoperative care of the surgical site. Thus, surgeon's professional obligation is to ensure that patients receive consistent verbal and written instructions that describe activities during the critical early healing period after the surgery. Furthermore, the surgeon must have a thorough understanding of the instructions given to the patient, as well as the reasoning behind them.

Tarsal Bones

Tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between tarsal bones, caused by an embryogenic failure. Its most common forms are calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal coalition, which are present in 53% and 37% of the cases, respectively. The onset of symptoms is related to tarsal bone ossification, and mean age for this event is estimated at 16 years for calcaneonavicular coalition. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients who did not improve symptoms with conservative treatment. The aim of this study is to present a surgical technique as a treatment option for resection of calcaneonavicular coalition associated with abnormal cuboid-navicular joint.

Graves' disease (GD) is a hereditary autoimmune disease which is characterized by persistent abnormal hypersecretion of thyroid hormones and thyrotoxicosis syndrome development. GD affects from 0.5 % to 2.0 % of population in different regions. 46 % of these patients develop ophthalmopathy. GD is a common cause of disabilities in patients under 60 years of age. In recent years, the incidence of GD in Ukraine has increased by 9.9 % — from 106.2 to 117.9 per 100,000 individuals. This can be connected with the improved diagnostic possibilities and active disease detection as well as with the increased number of autoimmune thyroid disorders. The recent studies focus on prevention of specific complications and recurrences of GD after surgery. Objective — to compare the levels of antibodies to the thyroid‑stimulating hormone receptors (TSHR‑Ab) during different postoperative periods as well as the incidence of early and late complications depending on the surgical technique used for the treatment of GD. Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 130 patients, with GD were compared. 29 male patients and 101 female patients aged from 19 to 76 (average — 44.1 ± 3.2 years), receiving their treatment for GD in Kyiv Center of Endocrine Surgery during 2010—2018, were randomly selected and divided into two groups. At the time of operation the duration of disease was from 1 to 30 years (average — 4.6 ± 1.2 years). Group  1 included 65 patients that underwent total thyreoidectomy (TT) and group 2 included 65 patients that underwent subtotal thyreoidectomy (ST). The following parameters were compared: surgery duration, the incidence of early postoperative complications, including bleedings and damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerves, and late outcomes of surgical treatment (persistent hypoparathyreoidism disorder and disorder recurrences) depending on the method of surgery (ST or TT). Furthermore, the patterns of the TSHR‑Ab level reduction were studied for different postoperative periods. Results. The comparison of surgical outcomes following TТ and ST didn’t reveal any statistically significant differences in such evaluation criteria as the average surgery duration, the average volume of intraoperative blood loss and the average duration of the postoperative inpatient treatment. The comparative assessment of the thyroid stump volume and the average amount of drained discharge showed statistically significant differences for TТ. It allows considering TТ as a surgery which causes less complications than ST. The studied parameters of early postoperative complications had no significant differences for ST and TТ. The long‑term (5 years) postoperative level of TSHR‑Ab was statistically significantly lower in patients after TT and made up 1.15 ± 0.13 IU/L (thus corresponding to the normal level). Conclusions. Total thyroidectomy is an optimal surgical technique and is more appropriate compared with subtotal thyroid gland resection. It should be noted that TT provides lower risk of complications due to significantly lower level of TSHR‑Ab in late postoperative period.

Surgical Failure

Past experience with open and closed techniques of tympanoplasty in surgery of cholesteatoma has shown that recurring illness is one of the major causes of surgical failure. The literature has reported varying trend of surgical treatment of cholesteatoma. The objective of the study was to analyze the significance of surgical technique in relation to the incidence and most frequent localization of recurrent cholesteatoma. Our study analyzed 120 patients operated on for cholesteatoma. The patients were divided into two groups, group I (45) with recurring disease and group II (75) without any recurring condition, which were followed up three years. Statistical analysis was carried out by modified t-test. The largest number of patients was re-operated in the first two years from the initial surgery (50%), In the majority of patients (50%), recurrent cholesteatoma was most commonly localized (stage I) in attic (20%) and much rarely in mesotympanum (11,9%). Stage III recurrent cholesteatoma was verified in 35% of patients, most frequently diffuse form (13,4%). The involvement of attic by all three stages of disease accounted for over 60%. The analysis of the used techniques of surgical treatment in both groups revealed significant difference. Open techniques of tympanoplasty were used in 60% of patients with no recurrence. Closed techniques were used more frequently in patients with recurring disease, i.e. in over 90% of cases. Recurrent cholesteatoma develops, in the majority of cases, during the first two years after the surgical intervention. Attic is the most common localization of cholesteatoma. More frequent utilization of open technique of tympanoplasty for surgery of cholesteatoma significantly reduces the incidence of recurring condition. The indications for CWD technique are the initial spread of cholesteatoma, possibility of complete removal of cholesteatoma and postoperative follow-up of patients.

Uterine fibroids affect almost one in two patients, causing many pelvic problems and requiring pharmacologic and surgical treatment. For many years, the importance of the fibroid was emphasized as uterine pathology, without focusing on the complex myometrial biology peripheral to fibroid. Moreover, the traditional surgical technique in fibroid removal has not been investigated for years. In recent years, on the contrary, morphological, neuroendocrine and anatomical studies have demonstrated the importance of a biological and surgical structure surrounding myoma, rich in neurotransmitters and neurofibres, the myoma pseudocapsule. This structure is formed in the womb peripheral to fibroid onset, it separates the fibroid from the myometrium and acts as a tissue regenerator after the removal of the fibroid from the uterus. The translation of scientific research on pseudocapsules into surgical practice has allowed us to identify new techniques of myomectomy, removing the myoma inside the pseudocapsule and promoting the pseudocapsules sparing surgery. All this to favor the subsequent biological process of uterine scarring and healing, by activating the neurotransmitters and neurofibres present in the myometrial fovea. The correct healing after fibroid removal restores the uterine anatomy, with a positive impact on subsequent reproductive function, reducing problems related to the muscle scar.
