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%.

Material and methods From 2014 to 2017 in our hospital 1158 patients with cholelithiasis complicated by mechanical jaundice have been treated. The group consisted of 59 (5.1%) patients with initially predicted difficulties for endoscopic lithoextraction. In 12 of that group antegrade decompression was the only surgical method for completing treatment. In 2 cases the ‘rendezvous’ technique was used, and in 23 patients the antegrade decompression it was complemented with laparotomy and choledocholithotomy. In 22 patients for verification the nature of the bile-excreting ducts and the cholelithic occlusion revealed at the same time the first stage included an antegrade decompression that allowed to finish surgical treatment by an endoscopic transpapillary lithoextraction.Results In the main group of clinical observations for 59 patients the surgical treatment complemented with an antegrade decompression was without fatal outcomes. All patients were cured of cholelithic occlusion and recovered. In the study group with 1099 patients that were treated with only an endoscopic lithoextraction 8 patients died that showed 0.7±0.2% of operational mortality. Complications, in the form of operational wounds in the main group of observations were found in 7 patients and it was 11.8±4.2%. Other postoperative complications in the main group were not observed. In the control group similar wound complications were seen in 13 patients (1.2%). In the control group with 57 patients we observed intraabdominal complications which resulted in mortality (5.2±0.7%). Of those postoperative reversible pancreatitis was found in 34 patients, 3 patients had fulminant pancreonecrosis, in 4 cases there was profuse bleeding from a papillosphincterotomy area, in 3 cases we observed insertion of Dormia basket at lithoextraction, septic cholangitis was in 11 and duodenum perforation with retroperitoneal phlegmon was in 3 cases.Conclusion Mortality in the group with antegrade treatment application for choledocholithiasis was not found. On the contrary, rather higher rate of complications in the control group testifies in advantage of the antegrade techniques for choledocholithiasis treatment in the shown cases.

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.

Purpose. The purpose is to improve the results of treatment of patients with phlegmon of the gluteal region soft tissues by diagnosing the stage of tissue hypertension and determining the tactics of surgical treatment depending on this indicator. Materials and methods. Clinical studies were performed on 74 patients suffering from phlegmon of the gluteal region. All the patients were divided into 2 groups: in the main group (as opposed to the control group), acute tissue hypertension syndrome was diagnosed and decompressive fasciotomy was performed in tissue hypertension (30–35 mm Hg) (patent). The authors performed ultrasound cavitation and ozone therapy of a purulent wound. Results. With phlegmon of the gluteal region of soft tissues, an increase in tissue pressure by 25% above the norm is an indication for fasciotomy in the area of fascial nodes. The time of purulent wound cleaning against the background of normal tissue pressure (8–10 mm Hg) of the surgery in patients of the main group was reduced to 5 days (8 days in the control). In the long-term (0.5–1 years), good results were obtained in 92.8% of patients in the main group (64.7% in the control group). Conclusion. The developed tactics of treatment of patients with phlegmon of the soft tissues of the gluteal region are highly effective due to the development and application of new technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of tissue hypertension.

Summary. The aim of the study is to develop a method of immunocorrection, which improves the results of treatment of patients with developed peritonitis against the background of the small intestine anastomosis leakege by stopping the cascade of SIRS and MOF. Materials and methods. The work was clinical in nature, was performed in the clinic of the SI «ZIGUS NAMSU» in the period from 2016 to 2019. We examined 58 patients with various diseases of the abdominal organs complicated by peritonitis, in which sections of the small intestine were resected. The Comparison Group included patients who received traditional therapy, patients of the Main Group, the complex of drug therapy included recombinant interleukin-2, galavit and α-lipoic acid. The results of surgical treatment were evaluated according to the classification of D. Dindo, N. Demartinesta, P.-A. Clavien (2004). Statistical analysis was removed from the Statistica 6.0 software (StatSoft, Inc. 2001) and SPSS 7.5 on Apple PC. Results and Discussion. Thus, the results of the use of a comprehensive immunomodulation scheme using IL-2, galavit and α-lipoic acid in the complex treatment of patients with widespread peritonitis against the background of intestinal anastomosis failure suggest that the developed scheme has a targeted immunoregulatory effect and prevents the excess production of inflammatory mediators in the early postoperative the period of the disease, helps to eliminate the cytokine imbalance and prevents the development of secondary immune deficiency. A comparative analysis of the incidence of complications revealed that in patients of the Main Group the average number of complications per patient was 0.53, while in the Comparison Group this indicator was 1.36. Conclusions. The use of a combination of IL-2, galavit and α-lipoic acid in the complex of treatment of common peritonitis helps to reduce the level of systemic and local postoperative complications, as well as the level of postoperative mortality.
