Aim. To evaluate the results of treatment using the authors’ proposed method of arthrodesis of the ankle and subtalar joints, based on the combination of bone grafting with compression in the Ilizarov apparatus. Methods. Conducted was a clinical and radiographic evaluation of the results of arthrodesis in the Ilizarov apparatus in 286 patients with osteoarthritis of the ankle and subtalar joints (during the last 15 years). 36 (12.6%) patients (the main group) were operated on using the authors’ proposed technique. Results. Bone adhesion as a result of arthrodesis was achieved in all patients of the main group. Excellent functional results were achieved in 11 out of 36 patients (30.5%), good results - in 22 (61.1%) patients, satisfactory results - in 3 (8.4%) patients. Bone adhesion as a result of arthrodesis in 250 patients of the comparison group was achieved in 243 patients (97.2%). In this group excellent functional results were achieved in 76 out of 250 patients (30.4%), good results - in 145 (58%) patients, satisfactory results - in 21 (8.4%) patients, poor results - in 8 (3.2%) patients. Conclusion. The proposed method of biarticular arthrodesis makes it possible to improve the trophism of the arthrodesis zone, to conduct the correction of posttraumatic deformities in the region of the ankle and subtalar joints, provides a durable and solid bone ankylosis of the ankle and subtalar joints, and makes it possible to achieve adhesion even in severe forms of osteoarthritis of the ankle and subtalar joints.

The aim of the study was to improve the results of treatment of patients with descending purulent mediastinitis by means of individualized surgical tactics with the priority use of minimally invasive surgical interventions and developed methods of drainage of the mediastinum and pleural cavity. Examination and treatment of 73 patients with descending purulent mediastinitis receiving treatment in the department of thoracic surgery of Ivano-Frankivsk regional clinical hospital was carried out. Treatment of patients in the main group included intramediastinal administration of antibiotics, the use of the developed method of cascade drainage of the mediastinum and pleural cavity, the priority use of video-assisted thoracoscopy and surgical tactics aimed at anticipating the spread of the purulent process in the mediastinum. The rapid and reliable decrease in the indices of endogenous intoxication in the main group confirms the effectiveness of the developed tactics of surgical treatment of patients with mediastinitis, adequate sanation of purulent mediastinatis, complete removal of the purulent substrate from the mediastinum and pleural cavity. The developed tactics of surgical treatment of purulent mediastinitis allowed reducing the overall postoperative mortality from 26.3% in the comparison group to 11.4% in the main group of patients.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, there has been a widespread increase in the incidence of tumors of the pancreatoduodenal zone, especially noticeable in the older age group. A decrease in the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality after pancreatoduodenal resection made it possible to expand the indications for surgical treatment of elderly and senile patients. AIM: Improvement of the immediate results of pancreatoduodenal resection in the treatment of elderly and senile patients suffering from tumor diseases of the pancreatoduodenal zone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pancreatoduodenal resection was performed in 61 elderly and senile patients with tumors of the pancreatoduodenal zone. The main group consisted of 32 patients, whose treatment was carried out in accordance with the developed algorithm for choosing a method for forming a pancreatodigestive anastomosis based on a scale for assessing the risk of developing pancreatic fistulas. The comparison group consisted of 29 patients in whom the method of forming a pancreatodigestive anastomosis was carried out in accordance with the preferences of the operator without taking into account the risk of developing a pancreatic fistula. RESULTS: In the main group, compared with the control group, pylorus-saving interventions were performed significantly more often 27 (84.4%) and 14 (48.3%) (p 0.01). There was also a decrease in the frequency of performing pancreaticojejunostomy 16 (50%) and 22 (75.9%) (p 0.05), due to the use of reservoir terminolateral pancreatojejunostomy 8 (25%) and 0, respectively (p 0.01). Postoperative complications were observed in 14 (43.8%) of the study group and in 21 (72.4%) patients of the comparison group (p 0.05). There was also a decrease in the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistulas from 8 (27.6%) to 2 (6.2%) (p 0.05) in the study group. Repeated surgery was required in 5 (15.6%) patients of the main group and 11 (37.9%) in the comparison group (p 0.05). The lethal outcome was recorded in 3 (9.4%) patients of the main group and in 7 (24.1%) in the comparison group (p 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results of performing pancreatoduodenal resection in the treatment of elderly and senile patients can be comparable with the results of treatment of the general population. The use of the developed algorithm made it possible to reliably reduce the incidence of complications from 72.4 to 43.8% (p 0.05), postoperative pancreatic fistulas from 27.6 to 6.2% (p 0.05), as well as the frequency of repeated interventions. from 37.9 to 15.6 % (p 0.05). In addition, a downward trend in mortality was achieved from 24.1% to 9.4%.

Objective. To optimize the tactics of surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum, including with bowel involvement. Patients and methods. The study included 122 patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum, who underwent surgical interventions of different volumes using laparoscopy. The patients were divided into a main group and a comparison group. The main group consisted of 92 patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum who underwent surgical treatment using the original technique of systematic approach; the comparison group consisted of 30 patients who were operated using the generally accepted technique. Results. There was a statistically significant decrease in the operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, as well as more effective relief of dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, less complications and relapses in the main group compared to the comparison group. In addition, it was found that the combination of three symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain increase the likelihood of deep infiltrating endometriosis up to 93%. Conclusion. Based on the results obtained, the proposed method of surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis is more efficient and safer in comparison with the generally accepted technique, which can be considered as a valid reason for its wide introduction into clinical practice. Key words: deep infiltrating endometriosis, bowel endometriosis, surgical treatment of endometriosis, treatment algorithm

Relevance. The article is devoted to the problem of diagnosis and treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis, which remains one of the most common surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity and accounts for 33.2% of the total number of patients with acute pancreatitis. Objective of the work is to improve the diagnosis and results of surgical treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis of biliary etiology. Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 264 patients with acute pancreatitis of biliary etiology are analyzed. Operative treatment was applied in 92 (34,8 %) patients: endoscopic operations were performed in 44 patients (16,7 %). Thus, in 10 (3,8 %) patients, endoscopic papilloprotectomy was performed with the auditory of the duct system and the extraction of concrements. In other cases, organo-preserving intervention was performed without disturbing the morphofunctional integrity of the sphincter apparatus of the duct system: the cannulation in 6 (2,3%) patients, mechanical (balloon) in 5 (1,9 %) cases, pharmacological (myogenic antispasmodic) dilatation of distal duct and a large duodenal papilla in 11 (4,2 %) patients. In residual choledocholithiasis, a technique of papillotomy under the control of choledochoscopy was proposed – 12 (4,54 %) patients. A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the treatment of patients who used the "open" (comparative group) and noninvasive endoscopic interventions in the early disease (the main group) was performed. Results. So in the main group the length of stay in the hospital was 12±3,2 days, respectively, in the comparison group – 26±4,3 days. In 42 (95,4 %) patients who had undergone endoscopic surgery, a positive clinical effect, a rapid regress of the symptoms of acute pancreatitis was achieved. In two (4,5 %) patients in the main group, the course was complicated by the development of the abscess of the stuffing box, and puncture under ultrasound control was performed. In patients of the comparison group complications arose in 5 (41,6 %) patients, it is noteworthy that all of them had undergone operative interventions, which were limited only to the rehabilitation and drainage of the abdominal cavity, a stuffing box bag. The mortality rate among unopposed was 1,2 % (2 patients), and among the operated – 11,9 % (11 patients). Among prooperated patients who died, 81,8 % (9 people) were elderly patients. Conclusions. The use of minimally invasive endoscopic interventions in the early phase of the disease reduces the length of stay of patients in the hospital from 26±4,3 days (comparison group) to 12 3,2 days (main group) and the number of complications occurring by 37,1 % (P <0, 05). Application of the proposed method of papillotomy under the control of choledochoscopy makes it possible to reduce the risk of perforation of the wall of the duodenum with the development of peritonitis or retroperitoneal phlegmon by 1,2 % (P <0,05).

Despite a decrease in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Russian Federation in recent years, among the newly diagnosed patients there remains a significant proportion of patients with bacterial excretion and destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. In patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis, surgical treatment is often the only possible method for saving lives. We studied the results of extrapleural posterosuperior thoracoplasty in 42 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. The comparison group consisted of 30 patients who received medicamentous therapy. The mortality rate for 3 years of follow-up in the conservative treatment group was 36.7%, in the surgical treatment group it was 23.8%, p = 0.237. Among patients with more than 2 years of disease experience, mortality was 45% in the main group, 88% in the comparison group, p = 0.070. In the absence of drug resistance, mortality in the main group was 4%, that in the comparison group – 14.2%, p = 0.283. Mortality in individuals with normal body weight was lower in the group of patients who underwent thoracoplasty than in the comparison group: 17.6% vs. 33.3% (p = 0.202). Among those who did not achieve sputum negative reaction, mortality was lower, and passing to the 3rd group of dispensary care was more common in the surgical treatment group – 41.7% vs. 71.4% (p = 0.077) and 33.3% vs. 21.4% (p = 0.426). Among patients with drug resistance or low body weight or unachieved sputum negative reaction, mortality rates were comparable in both groups. Thus, thoracoplasty, in comparison with conservative therapy, makes it possible to improve treatment results in patients regardless of the length of the disease in groups with Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive process, with normal body weight, with preservation of elimination of bacilli. The effectiveness of thoracoplasty decreases in patients with an increase in the disease duration.

The work is based on the analysis of treatment results of 19 patients with 2 - 6 cm shortening of the foot. Foot lengthening was performed at the level of tarsal bones with Ilizarov apparatus. Due to great number of various complications (up to 4 per patient), which required additional surgical interventions as well as unsatisfactory short- and long-terms functional results, made the authors to conclude that lengthening of the foot as an entire anatomic segment was not expedient. Certain theoretical propositions in favor of higher functional suitability of the shor-tened foot in rigid ankle joint contracture adduced.


Introduction. The diaphragm gunshot wounds are serious combat injuries. The main functions of the diaphragm are to change the intra-abdominal pressure and the outflow of lymph and blood from the abdominal cavity due to the constant contraction and relaxation. Therefore, when it is injured at the same time with a powerful painful impulse, cardiopulmonary disorders quickly arise. Purpose: To improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with gunshot wounds through the introduction of new video endoscopic technologies at the stage of specialized surgical care. Materials and methods. The article analyzes the features of specialized surgical care in 64 patients with gunshot wounds who were treated at the surgical clinic of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Northern Region (III level of medical care). New minimally invasive methods are proposed to improve the outcomes of surgical treatment of victims with diaphragm gunshot wounds at level III of health care delivery. Results. Thus, the use of video thoracoscopic technique in the surgical treatment of the diaphragm wound and its suturing in the proposed method allowed to improve the results of treatment by increasing the average value of diaphragmatic excursion in deep breath in the main group to 3.73 ± 0.31 cm, whereas in the comparison group 2.21 ± 0.38 cm. The severity of the pain syndrome on the of Visual Аnalogue Scale 5 days after surgical treatment was 5.2 ± 2.3 points in the injured main group, 6.7 ± 2.1 points in the comparison group. The ratio of vital lung capacity to the required vital lung capacity in the main group was 75.3 ± 2.2%, in the comparison group 64.1 ± 1.7%. Conclusions. The use of video thoracoscopy increases the efficiency of the diagnosis of gunshot wounds of the diaphragm. The use of laser imaging and fluorescence diagnosis of diaphragm wounds ensure the adequacy of the removal of paravulary necrotic tissues. The suturing of the wounds in accordance with the anatomical and functional structure of the diaphragm with the use of plaques improves the immediate postoperative results of surgical treatment.

The high prevalence of inflammatory processes in the periodontitis of children, the ineffective effectiveness of preventive and curative measures can contribute to the development of generalized periodontitis, therefore it remains urgent to develop pathogenetic effects in the treatment of chronic catarrhal gingivitis.The aim of the study – a comparative assessment of the traditional treatment of chronic catarrhal gingivitis in children aged 6–7 years with therapy using an anti-inflammatory gel with neovitin.Materials and Methods. 61 children aged 6–7 years, suffering from chronic catarrhal gingivitis, were taken under clinical supervision and divided into groups: the main (30 children) and the comparative (31 children). All children underwent conventional therapy in accordance with the protocols for the provision of medical care – basic therapy. In the main group, for a month, pathogenetic agents were used: an anti-inflammatory gel with neovitin, hygiene products were recommended. In the comparative group, 3 % hydrogen peroxide solution was used for local therapy, for rinsing of the mouth (during the first week of treatment) – Rotokan, a therapeutic and prophylactic toothpaste.Examination and control examinations were carried out with the hygienic state of the mouth determined by the hygienic index of Yu. A. Fedorov and V. V. Volodkina, prevalence and intensity of the inflammatory process in the gums with the help of the Schiller-Pisarev test and the PMA index, oral fluid index (lysozyme content, formation of oxydradicals, urease activity, degree of dysbiosis, pH and viscosity).Results and Discussion. After the treatment, elimination of gum inflammation in patients of the main group was accompanied by a decrease in the PMA index by 3.8 times; formation of oxyradicals decreased in children of the main group by 6.35 %; in the comparative group – by 6.15 %. Urease activity decreased in children of the main group by 16.37 % (p<0.05), the viscosity of the oral fluid of children decreased in 2.65 times in the main group and in 2.13 times in the comparative group (p<0.05). The lysozyme content increased in children of the main group by 15.61 % (p<0.05) in the comparison group – by 9.63% (p<0.05). The treatment after 0.5 years caused an increase in the lysozyme content in the oral fluid of the children of the main group to the level of the control group. The degree of dysbiosis decreased in the main group, in the comparison group tended to increase.Conclusions. The use of the proposed therapy with gel with neovitin contributed to the best results of treatment: reducing the degree of inflammation of the gums, the number of visits to the doctor, improving the indices of nonspecific protection in the oral fluid of 6-7 years-old children and, to a greater extent, six months after the treatment.

The rapid progress of obesity surgery dictates the necessity to study the quality of life of patients after bariatric procedures. The aim of the study is to assess the dynamics of quality of life of patients with morbid obesity after biliopancreatic diversion in the modification of Hess-Marceau and the sleeve gastrectomy in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of the specified category of patients. The results of surgical treatment of 205 patients with morbid obesity who performed sleeve gastrectomy (main group — 105 patients) or biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau (comparison group — 100 patients) were analyzed. The study of the dynamics of quality of life of patients was performed in according the Moorehead-Ardelt II method. Statistical data processing was performed using the methods of variational and descriptive statistic using Statistica 6.0 statistical analysis package. Installed that biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau and sleeve gastrectomy allowed to significantly improve the quality of life of patients with an increase of the quality of life index with -1.5±0.7 in the comparison group and -1.6±0,6 in the main group up to 1.8±0.3 and 2.0±0.4 respectively (p<0.05 compared to pre-operative data) 60 months after surgery. A more pronounced positive dynamics of quality of life in patients of the main group in the time interval of 12–24 months after the operation was achieved due to the absence of severe late metabolic complications and undesirable side effects of biliopancreatic diversion and laparoscopic access for sleeve gastrectomy in 54.3% of patients. Thus, the quality of life of patients with morbid obesity before performing bariatric surgery is critically low and significantly improved after biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau as well as sleeve gastrectomy. The impact of bariatric surgery on the duration and quality of life of patients requires further multicenter randomized trials.
