Malignant glaucoma is a difficult task for an ophthalmologist in the treatment process. This is a multifactorial condition that occurs in anatomically predisposed eyes. Malignant glaucoma remains one of the most severe clinical forms of glaucoma requiring timely diagnosis and immediate treatment. Diagnostic issues, pathophysiological mechanisms of development and methods of treatment are still controversial. The diagnosis of malignant glaucoma is often late due to similarity with some other pathological conditions. In many cases malignant glaucoma is resistant to medication and laser treatment. Surgical treatment of malignant glaucoma is complex and not always effective. The review discusses the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of development, diagnostic methods of research, as well as the applied conservative, laser and surgical methods of treatment of malignant glaucoma.

INTRODUCTION: Hilar/mediastinal lymph node sampling with lobectomy are the most common surgical methods used for the surgical treatment of carcinoid tumors. Bronchoplastic approaches together with lobectomy enable sparing of normal lung tissue and provide an alternative surgical approach to avoid pneumonectomy by enabling sleeve resection for centrally located tumors. The aim of this study was to present our parenchyma-sparing open surgical treatment experiences with the carcinoid tumor cases operated in our clinic in light of the new developments in the literature METHODS: The 11 tumor cases that had been diagnosed with carcinoid tumor and undergone surgical resection at our clinic between 2006 and 2012 were retrospectively revealed for tumor epidemiology, diagnostic methods, tumor localization, surgical treatment method, type and stage and postoperative complications. RESULTS: There were 7 males and 4 females with a mean age of 54.81±13.75 years (31-72 years). Cough was the most common presentation symptom with 8 cases (72.7%). A bronchoscopic biopsy was used for the definite diagnosis in 8 cases (72.7%). There were 11 (84.6%) typical and 2 (15.4%) atypical carcinoid tumors in the 11 cases. The most common surgical methods were lobectomy in 7 cases (53.8%) (3 sleeve, 1 bronchoplastic) and wedge resection in 4 cases. We found bilateral synchronous and 3 years later metachronous carcinoid tumor in a single case. The postoperative pathology diagnosis was T2N0M0 in 6 cases (54.5%) and T1N0M0 in 3 cases (27.2%). There was 1 atelectasis and 1 prolonged air leak in the postoperative stage. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Although we still use thoracotomy and lobectomy for the surgical treatment of carcinoid tumors in our clinic, we currently prefer minimal invasive surgery with the VATS and robotic surgery techniques that are gradually becoming more popular.

AbstractStoma is an intestinal fistula created in emergency or by elective indications, and it is done to drain out the digestive tract content. In some patients there is a disturbance passage of gastric contents through the stoma, which may take the form of chronic constipation or even periodic subileus that will sooner or later require surgical treatment.The aim of the study was the assessment of the causes and method of treatment of constipation in patients with intestinal stoma.Material and methods. A total of 331 patients with stoma followed by Ostomy and Proctology Outpatient Clinic were included in the study in the years 2011-2014. The study included 146 women and 185 men and the average age was 61.3 ± 12.7 years. Within the entire froup, 273 patients had the end stoma performed whereas in 58 patients the loop stoma was created. The highest percentage of patients were the ones with diverticulosis and colorectal cancer, i.e. 132 and 114 patients respectively. A stoma was created in 35 patients due to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in 23 patients because of cancer, in 14 as a result of injuries and in 13 due to rectovaginal fistula.Results. Out of the entire group subject to study (331 patients) 93 patients (28.1%) suffered from constipation. 50 patients with constipation required surgical intervention. The most common indication for surgical treatment was the parastomal hernia (36 patients, 72%), other indications were the narrowing of the stoma (5 patients, 10%), its collapse (6 patients, 12%) or prolapse (3 patients, 6%). Parastomal hernia was responsible for 84% of constipation within the stoma and 86.1% were treated with laparotomy (31 out of 36 patients). Other causes of constipation were the stomal stenoses (5 patients), collapse of the stoma (6 patients) and stomal prolapse (3 patients). All patients were treated surgically with a good final result.Conclusions. Constipation associated with dysfunction of the stoma in most cases should be treated surgically. Parastomal hernia is the most common cause of constipation in the stoma. Treatment should be performed in due time because of the possibility of developing complications, especially dangerous one is a strangulated parastomal hernia and ischemia of stoma.

Subject: Salivary stone disease is a disease that occurs as a result of inflammatory processes occurring in the salivary glands. More recently, salivary stone disease was considered a rare disease. Thanks to the available modern methods of diagnosis, the detection of salivary stone disease is significantly progressing. Purpose: In our work we aimed to figure out the most effective methods of diagnosis of salivary stone disease . Among the private methods of radiation diagnosis of salivary stone disease, we have identified ultrasound and CT examination of the salivary glands and ducts. Our task was also to determine how conservative treatment is competitive with the surgical method of treatment of this disease. Results: As a result of our studies , we concluded that the ultrasound method in the diagnosis of inflammation of the salivary glands and the presence of concretions in the glands and ducts is highly informative , safe and accessible to patients . Conservative methods of treatment used in patients who were diagnosed with the presence of concretions at the outlet of the salivary gland ducts are no less effective than surgical methods. Surgical treatment of salivary stone disease is advisable only in cases of block of the salivary gland and ducts concretions more than 0.5 cm in diameter. Conclusion: Salivary Stone disease in our medical institution is diagnosed quite often. The method of ultrasound diagnosis is the main method of examination of patients who came to us with symptoms of salivary stone disease. CT method is advisable to carry out patients in need of surgical treatment of the disease. The method of CT diagnosis allows to establish the exact coordinates and sizes of concretions located in the salivary glands and deep in the ducts.

Foot arches are defined by the position of bones and stabilized by active and passive soft tissue structures. The most significant foot arches are longitudinal, medial and lateral. During lifetime they develop and change, while the most significant disorder represents the flatfoot. During the first two years of life, the flatfoot in full weight bearing position is considered a normal physiological condition, while in later age it represents a deformity requiring additional diagnostics and treatment. The flexible flatfoot is caused by ligamentous laxity, it is mostly pain-free and is treated symptomatically (prescription of adequate shoes and kinesitherapy). The rigid foot is most often caused by bone changes (tarsal coalition, vertical congenital talus) occurring idiopathically or within neuromuscular pathological conditions, with mostly present pain problems. In such cases treatment is also initiated by non-surgical methods, however, some type of surgical treatment is most frequently necessary to be used.
