Abstract. The informative value of urgent cytological operational research in various areas of oncosurgery has been studied. The data of these studies were summarized during 773 operations, including 424 laparotomies, 195 thoracotomies and 154 other surgical interventions. Histological control confirmed the reliability of cytological findings in 93.9%. In 11 cases of discrepancy between cytological and histological findings, the reliability of the cytological diagnosis was subsequently established. It is recommended to include data from puncture biopsy of various objects of the operating field as criteria for resolving questions about indications for surgery, the volume and plan of surgical intervention.

BACKGROUND Increasingly intelligent and autonomous robots are destined to have a huge impact on our society. Their adoption, however, represents a major change to the healthcare sector’s traditional practices, which, in turn, poses certain challenges. To what extent is it possible to foresee a near-future scenario in which minor routine surgery is directed by robots? And what are the patients’ or general public’s perceptions of having surgical procedures performed on them by robots, be it totally or partially? A patient’s trust in robots and AI may facilitate the spread and use of such technologies. OBJECTIVE The goal of our study was to establish the factors that influence how people feel about having a medical operation performed on them by a robot. METHODS We used data from a 2017 Flash Eurobarometer (number 460) of European Commission with 27,901 citizens aged 15 years and over in the 28 countries of the European Union. The research designs and tests a technology acceptance model (TAM). Logistic regression (odds ratios, OR) to model the predictors of trust in robot-assisted surgery was calculated through motivational factors, robots using experience and sociodemographic independent variables. RESULTS The negative relationship between most of the predictors of ease of use, expected benefits and attitude towards robots, and confidence in robot-assisted surgery was contrasted. The only non-sociodemographic predictor variable that has a positive relationship with trust in robots participating in a surgical intervention is previous experience in the use of robots. In this context, we analyze the confidence predictors for three different levels of robot use experience (zero use, average use, and high use). The results obtained indicate that, as the experience of using robots increases, the predictive coefficients related to information, attitude and perception of robots become more negative. Research results also determined that variables of a sociodemographic nature played an important predictive role. It was confirmed that the effect of experience on trust in robots for surgical interventions was greater among men, people between 40 and 54 years old, and those with higher educational levels. CONCLUSIONS Despite the considerable benefits for the patient that the use of robots can bring in a surgical intervention, the results obtained show that trust in robots goes beyond rational decision-making. By contrasting the reasons that generate trust and mistrust in robots, especially by highlighting the experience of use as a key element, the research makes a new contribution to the state of the art and draws practical implications of the use of robots for health policy and practice.

Cystine Stones

Introduction: Cystine stone development is relatively uncommon among patients with urolithiasis, and most studies have reported only on small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. We evaluated clinical courses and treatment outcomes of patients with cystine stones with long-term follow-up at our center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients diagnosed with cystine stones between January 1989 and May 2019. Results: The median follow-up was 160 (range 6–340) months, and the median patient age at diagnosis was 46 (range 12–82) years. All patients underwent surgical interventions at the first visit (4 extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, 5 ureteroscopy, and 13 percutaneous nephrolithotripsy). The median number of stone events and surgical interventions per year was 0.45 (range 0–2.6) and 0.19 (range 0–1.3) after initial surgical intervention. The median time to stone events and surgical intervention was 2 years and 3.25 years, respectively. There was a significant difference in time to stone events and second surgical intervention when patients were divided at 50 years of age at diagnosis (p = 0.02, 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: Only age at a diagnosis under 50 was significantly associated with recurrent stone events and intervention. Adequate follow-up and treatment are needed to manage patients with cystine stones safely.

Abstract Purpose The objective of this systematic review is to compare the safety and efficacy of surgical fixation of rib fractures against non-surgical interventions for the treatment of flail chest in the adult population. Methods A search was performed on the 22nd of July 2020 to identify articles comparing surgical fixation versus clinical management for flail chest in adults, with a description of the outcome parameters (resource utility, mortality, adverse effects of the intervention and adverse progression in pulmonary status). Relevant randomised controlled trials were selected, their risk of bias assessed, and the data then extracted and analysed. Results 157 patients were included from four studies in the analyses, with 79 and 78 patients in the surgical and non-surgical groups, respectively. The pooled effects of all outcomes tended towards favouring surgical intervention. Surgical intervention was associated with lower rates of pneumonia (I2 = 46%, Tau2 = 0.16, p = 0.16), significantly lower rates of tracheostomy (I2 = 76%, Tau2 = 0.67, p = 0.02), and a significantly lower duration of mechanical ventilation (I2 = 88%, Tau2 = 33.7, p < 0.01) in comparison to the non-surgical management methods. Conclusion Our results suggest that surgical intervention reduces the need for tracheostomy, reduces the time spent in the intensive care unit following a traumatic flail chest injury and could reduce the risk of acquiring pneumonia after such an event. There is a need for further well-designed studies with sufficient sample sizes to confirm the results of this study and also detect other possible effects of surgical intervention in the treatment of traumatic flail chest in adults.

Background: most of the gynaecological interventions are generally done under regional anaesthesia. Currently dexmedetomidine came out as a beneficial adjunct for regional analgesia as well as anaesthesia. It is a highly selective α-2 agonist. Aims & objectives: to compare the effects & behavior of dexmedetomidine with clonidine when both are used with bupivacaine for spinal analgesia. Material and Methods: 100 cases of ASA grade 1 & 2 who were undergoing elective gynaecological surgical intervention were studied. They were divided into two groups (50 each). Group I received combination of bupivacaine & clonidine while group II received combination of bupivacaine + dexmedetomidine. Results: Average duration of onset of sensory block was earlier in group II. Arrival of motor block in Group I was slightly on lower side than Group II. Ten cases in Group I and eighteen cases from group II had notable bradycardia and hypotension. Discussion: Our study concludes that dexmedetomidine when used in combination with bupivacaine is very effective in gynaecological surgical interventions that demand longer duration & have comparatively lesser side effects. Keywords: dexmedetomidine, clonidine, Bupivacaine, gynaecological procedures.

The clinical experience demonstrates the importance of 3D modeling when planning surgical intervention in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The 3D model was built up based computed tomography data using Avtoplan software with plug-ins for segmentation of the lung, pathological foci, vascular structures, and bronchial tree. The data obtained during 3D modeling allowed us to plan surgery and the data were fully confirmed during the operation. The 3D model with color mapping reveals syntopy, which is extremely difficult to determine using standard computed tomography and allows the wider use of minimally invasive endoscopic surgical interventions.

In accordance to the literature data, the infection rate in laparoscopic cholecystectomy conduction constitutes 2.4 - 9.6%. Materials and methods. The work was based on experience of performance of 759 laparoscopic cholecystectomies during the period of 2015 - 2018 yrs. There were performed 679 operations with the second class of microbial contamination, 17 - with the third one and 6 - with the fourth. In 21 patients the conversion into laparotomy was applied. The patients with third and fourth classes of microbial contamination of wounds were divided into two groups: the first - 61 patients, in whom a container was used for the specimen removal, and the second - 19 patients, in whom the method of combined application of container and the wound protector was applied for removal of the specimen. Results. Infection of region of the surgical intervention performance in laparoscopic cholecystectomy was revealed in 41 (5.40%) of 759 patients.In surgical interventions In surgical interventions, referring to second class of microbial contamination , the infection rate in the surgical intervention region have constituted 2,5%, while referring to the third class - 11.76%, and the fourth class - 34.92%. Conversion in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is accompanied with high rate of the wound infection - 38.09%. Conclusion. Application of the method of combined usage of container for removal of preparation and a two-ring protector of the wound in the third and the fourth classes of the wounds while performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy have permitted to lower the infection rate in region of the surgical intervention performance from 37.70 to 5.26%.

Summary. Relevance. Total hip arthroplasty remains one of the most successful and cost-effective surgical interventions in modern medicine. This is proven by the ever-growing number of total arthroplasties worldwide, which reached 650,000 implantations in Europe only in 2018. In 2024, this number is expected to be 730,000 [1]. According to experts, from 15 to 25 percent of patients need a bilateral procedure [2, 8]. The experience of our Center allows us to recommend a successful one-stage replacement of both hip joints for patients with a number of medical and social comorbidities. Objective. The study is set out to highlight the possibilities of performing simultaneous bilateral arthroplasty of the hip joint in a group of patients with bilateral joint damage, as well as to substantiate the economic, medical and social benefits of this surgical intervention. Materials and Methods. We have analyzed the data from publications of our foreign colleagues. We also present our own observations – more than 100 cases over the past 11 years (2008-2019). Results. Based on data from foreign publications and our own observations, the undoubted advantages, features and limitations of this type of surgical intervention are shown. Complex cases of bilateral joint damage and the results of one-stage surgical treatment have been demonstrated. Conclusions. One-stage bilateral hip arthroplasty is the method of choice for symmetric lesions and should take its rightful place in the arsenal of modern orthopedics clinics. We continue to advocate simultaneous bilateral hip replacement for a selected group of healthy patients ≤65 years old. Thoughtful preoperative planning, surgical intervention lasting up to 90 minutes on each joint, careful postoperative monitoring, strictly controlled prevention of thromboembolic complications and active postoperative rehabilitation provide our patients with quick and safe functional recovery.

AbstractObjectivesObstructive sleep apnoea is a common chronic sleep disorder characterised by collapse of the upper airway during sleep. The nasal airway forms a significant part of the upper airway and any obstruction is thought to have an impact on obstructive sleep apnoea. A systematic review was performed to determine the role of rhinological surgical interventions in the management of obstructive sleep apnoea.MethodsA systematic review of current literature was undertaken; studies were included if they involved comparison of a non-surgical and/or non-rhinological surgical intervention with a rhinological surgical intervention for treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea.ResultsSixteen studies met the selection criteria. The pooled data suggest that there are reductions in the apnoea/hypopnea index and respiratory disturbance index following nasal surgery. However, the current body of studies is too heterogeneous for statistically significant meta-analysis to be conducted.ConclusionNasal surgery may have limited benefit for a subset of patients based on current evidence.
