The topic that I will touch upon in this report is of great interest not only for the surgeon, but also for the internist, firstly, because the issue of the surgical treatment of malaria splenomegaly is still under development; secondly, due to the fact that surgical treatment for malaria is practiced mainly by surgeons working in the so-called. malaria areas.

Introduction: The trauma of orthognathic surgery on muscle function has frequently been overlooked by oral surgeons. The attitude of many surgeons is that the muscle fibers will adapt to the new structure in a short time. The purpose of this paper is to dispute this attitude and to address the need for the oral rnyologist to assume an important role in the healing and post-surgical treatment of the patient.

ABSTRACT Surgical treatment is well accepted for patients with traumatic cervical facet joint dislocations (CFD), but there is uncertainty over which approach is better: anterior, posterior or combined. We performed a systematic literature review to evaluate the indications for anterior and posterior approaches in the management of CFD. Anterior approaches can restore cervical lordosis, and cause less postoperative pain and less wound problems. Posterior approaches are useful for direct reduction of locked facet joints and provide stronger fixation from a biomechanical point of view. Combined approaches can be used in more complex cases. Although both anterior and posterior approaches can be used interchangeably, there are some patients who may benefit from one of them over the other, as discussed in this review. Surgeons who treat cervical spine trauma should be able to perform both procedures as well as combined approaches to adequately manage CFD and improve patients’ final outcomes.

Objectives to discuss a five-year experience in surgical treatment of temporal bone paragangliomas from the point of view of U. Fisch and D. Mattox classification modified by М. Sanna in 2013. Material and methods. In the period from February 2015 till December 2020, we performed 130 operations to remove temporal bone paraganglioma. The examined and operated patients included 34 men and 96 women aged from 2 to 82 years. The paraganglioma types A, B and C were distributed as follows: type A in 22 patients (A1 12 cases, A2 10 cases); type B in 73 patients (B1 25 cases, B2 16 cases, B3 32 cases); type C in 35 patients (С1 10 cases, С2 12 cases, С3 7 cases, С4 5 cases) Results. The evaluated results included the quality of tumor removal, the auditory function and the function of the facial nerve in relation to the size of the neoplasm, registered during the early and late postoperative periods. Based on the study data, we developed an algorithm of tactics of surgical treatment of patients with this type of temporal bone pathology aimed to avoid damage to the vital structures of the lateral skull base.

This article is dedicated to matters of studying life quality in patients with manifest adenomyosis forms. For the first time authors have proposed the original questionnaire for assessment of patient life quality, authors performed the check of obtained data sensibility and reliability. Such life quality assessment use on different stages of surgical treatment of adenomyosis allowed make conclusions about the advantage one or another type of intrusion, evaluate the treatment efficiency and results from the point of view of normalizing female patient life quality.

The review of the literature examines the study of the quality of life of patients in the older age group after cardiac surgery for heart disease. In recent years, the number of elderly people has increased significantly in many countries. As a result of this phenomenon, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are increasingly confronted in their practice with elderly patients. There are features of the management of cardiac and cardiac surgical patients of advanced age, caused both by the specifics of the underlying disease and by concomitant diseases. With the emergence of new options for evaluating the effectiveness of various methods of surgical correction of heart disease in age patients, new questions arise that require evidentiary consideration and an optimal answer. Opinions of experts about the feasibility of surgical interventions in the elderly are often different. The urgency of the problem is due to the recent increase in the number of heart operations in the group of age-related patients. The study of the quality of life of patients in the postoperative period helps to determine the most rational and optimal method of surgical treatment, not only from the point of view of the cardiac surgeon, but also from the standpoint of assessing the patient himself. In addition, frequent postoperative complications and recurrences of diseases force specialists to focus on the quality of life of patients after surgery, which makes the problem extremely urgent.

Results of our series of 10 operated patients who had cavernous malformation of the brain stem, in accordance with the findings of other authors, have confirmed that surgical removal of cavernomas is an absolutely appropriate approach as regards the prevention of repeated and disabling hemorrhages, also from the point of view of the recovery of the neurological deficit. In patients with disturbed vital functions (breathing, swallowing) evacuation of hematomas and removal of the malformation eliminate life endangering compressive effect on the vital structures of the brain stem. It is not disputable that patients with superficially localized cavernomas and progressing neurological deficit should be subjected to surgical treatment. In cases of deep lying lesions that are covered by a considerable layer of nervous parenchyma, it is indispensable to have a very careful preoperative planning of a safe entry into the brain stem, without damage to the vital functional structures. In case of a complete neurological recovery after a single hemorrhagic episode, the decision to perform surgery is delicate and demands individual appraisal of each patient. As regards the procedure with incidentally found and clinically asymptomatic lesions, regardless of the MR-signs of hemorrhage in the form of the hemosiderin ring around the lesion, we support the view of those authors who think that such lesions should not be operated but should be subjected to clinical treatment and MR with periodical MR check-ups.

Introduction: Endometriosis represents the aberrant implantation of endometrial tissue, respectively outside the uterus. It is one of the gynecological diseases with a great impact on the patient’s quality of life and especially on the fertility aspects. Due to the aberrant implantation, this disease can theoretically affect any organ in the abdominal and retroperitoneal cavity. Thus, cases involving the organs of the urinary tract are not a surprise. Material and methods: The present paper focuses on the urological impairment of endometriosis, etiology according to various hypotheses and an update of existing treatment methods. The possible proposals of therapeutic guides found in the literature are also taken into account.Results: The urological condition of this disease seems to increase in frequency in recent years. If in the case of asymptomatic patients an expectant attitude can be approached in relative safety, the local invasive nature of the disease, which can lead to the loss of the function of the various organs of the urinary tract, must not be omitted. In the case of symptomatic patients, the treatment is either hormonal or surgical, lately there is a tendency to combine the two types of treatment. Being a condition with relatively rare urological involvement, the differential diagnosis often omits endometriosis. There are currently several plausible guide proposals, but it takes time and richer casuistry to be able to standardize them. From the point of view of surgical treatment, there is a tendency to introduce robotic surgery in the therapeutic arsenal of this disease, both in the case of classical endometriosis and in the case of urological involvement.
