AIM: To evaluate the results of using the minimally-invasive technique of scleroobliteration in patients with venous malformations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2006 to 2020, 41 interventions were performed for venous-cavernous angiomatosis of various localization through scleroobliteration. Nineteen patients (46.3%) underwent complex treatment, which included a combination of this minimally-invasive technique with other surgical interventions (resection of angiomatous tissues, laser coagulation, and radiofrequency obliteration). RESULTS: Clinical improvement was achieved in 38 (92.7%) patients. According to the data of ultrasound control, 25 patients (61%) experienced no blood flow in the obliteration zone, and there was regression of the initial symptoms within 1 year of observation following intervention. The results of treatment were better due to the local spread of the angiomatous process. With diffuse forms, it was not possible to achieve a positive effect in 3 patients (11.1%). CONCLUSION: Scleroobliteration can provide a positive result in the treatment of patients with venous-cavernous angiodysplasia, both as an independent method and in combination with other minimally-invasive techniques.

The Great saphenous vein (GSV) has been widely used as a conduit for Coronary artery bypass grafting. The GSV can be harvested using the open or minimally invasive technique. Minimally invasive techniques are growing in popularity due to better cosmetic and wound infection outcomes. The most widely used method in minimally invasive technique is via endoscopic approach. However, the cost of endoscopes and training curve can limit its use. We describe an alternative minimally invasive technique using a mayo vein harvester with a considerably lower cost, and a smoother learning curve. Keywords: Saphenous vein harvesting, Mayo vein harvester, Minimally invasive

A new minimally invasive technique is presented to improve the results and reduce the duration of treatment of patients with stenosing ligamentitis of dorsal carpal ligament (de Quervain’s disease). The high efficiency of the proposed method (on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scales and Visual Analogue Scale) is established, comparable with de Quervain’s open ligamentotomy but with the reduction of rehabilitation period after the surgery from 16-21 days to3-4 days. Clinical approbation of minimally invasive ligamentotomy in all patients revealed excellent long-term results of treatment, with minimal risk of complications. Comparison of the results of treatment of patients of both groups showed the advantage of minimally invasive ligamentotomy before open ligamentotomy in the early postoperative period with the same long-term results, which allows patients to start their labor and professional duties in the early stages. The proposed method can be performed in an outpatient mode and does not require special post-operative treatment, as well as special instruments and equipment, which allows reducing the costs of both the patient and the medical institution.

Objective. To review the existing studies on single-site robotic myomectomy and test the safety and feasibility of this innovative minimally invasive technique. Data Sources. PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar (from their inception to October 2019), as well as Clinicaltrials.gov databases up to April 2020. Methods of Study Selection. Clinical trials (prospective or retrospective) that reported the outcomes of single-site robotic myomectomy, with a sample of at least 20 patients were considered eligible for the review. Results. The present review was performed in accordance with the guidelines for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Four (4) studies met the inclusion criteria, and a total of 267 patients were included with a mean age from 37.1 to 39.1 years and BMI from 21.6 to 29.4 kg/m2. The mean operative time ranged from 131.4 to 154.2 min, the mean docking time from 5.1 to 5.45 min, and the mean blood loss from 57.9 to 182.62 ml. No intraoperative complications were observed, and a conversion rate of 3.8% was reported by a sole study. The overall postoperative complication rate was estimated at 2.2%, and the mean hospital stay ranged from 0.57 to 4.7 days. No significant differences were detected when single-site robotic myomectomy was compared to the multiport technique concerning operative time, blood loss, and total complication rate. Conclusion. Our findings support the safety of single-site robotic myomectomy and its equivalency with the multiport technique on the most studied outcomes. Further studies are needed to conclude on the optimal minimally invasive technique for myomectomy.
