Closed kidney injuries in children

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Within 20 yrs, 76 children aged 28 yrs with kidney trauma were under observation, and 35 of them had associated trauma. Clinical, instrumental, and radiological methods were used in the diagnosis. RESULTS: Of the 76 children with closed kidney trauma, 23 were diagnosed with kidney contusion, 14 with kidney injury with subcapsular hematoma, 16 with kidney injury with rupture of the capsule and perirenal urohematoma, 21 with kidney rupture and damage to the calyxpelvic system, and 2 with traumatic hydronephrotic kidney. Conservative treatment was carried out in 49 (64.4%) children and surgical treatment in 28 (25.6%). In the long term, 28 children with kidney injuries and treated conservatively were examined. Complications were found in nine children: pyeloectasia, deformation of the calyxpelvic system, pyelonephritis, and renal hypertension. Organ-preserving surgery was performed in 22 (28.9%) children and nephrectomy in 5 (6.6%) children. As long-term results: the function of the operated kidneys was satisfactory, some changes occurred in the calyxpelvic systems, and no data for pyelonephritis was found. CONCLUSION: Renal injuries with subcapsular rupture and perirenal urohematoma should be surgically treated to prevent severe long-term complications. In unclear cases, the choice can be a two-stage organ-preserving operation for the so-called crushing of the kidney.

Long Term Result

The authors indicated that pronounced deformities of the ducts of the large salivary glands occur in 70% of patients with chronic sialadenitis. Due to the fact that conservative treatment of ductal sialadenitis, especially pronounced, does not give long-term results, the authors proposed various methods of surgical treatment of ductal sialadenitis, which have a low level of trauma of collateral tissues and provides a stable long-term result.

Aim. Improving the results of surgical treatment of complications of second and third degree perineal tears complicated by anal incontinence. Methods. The study included 248 patients aged 16 to 50 years. The patients were allocated to three groups: the first group - 40 women who underwent traditional surgery and conservative treatment; the second group - 128 women with second degree perineal tear; group III - 80 women who underwent sphincteroplasty (I option) and sphincteroplasty combined with levatorplasty (II option) in our modification (sphincter-saving surgery with precision sutures). The main group included 111 patients who additionally received conservative treatment [1 mL of 1% enoxaparin sodium intravenously and 1 ml of 30% vitamin E (alfa-tocopherol acetate) by intramuscular injection]; control group - 97 patients who underwent standard treatment. Long-term results were assessed by a survey, physical examination in the clinic, telephone and Internet surveys in 35 patients of the main group and 31 women of the control group. Results. In 91 (82%) patients of the main group, the pain intensity decreased after 7-10 days of treatment was antioxidants, 8 (7.2%) patients had pain in the perineum or anal canal, in 12 (10.8%) cases intense pain in the anal canal were still present. Long-term results were evaluated as good in 16 (51.6%) and 25 (69.4%) patients, as satisfactory - in 9 (29%) and 8 (22.2%) patients, as unsatisfactory - 6 (19.4 %), and 3 (8.3%) patients of the main and the control groups, respectively. The test group showed earlier formation of granulation tissue (3.1±0.3 days earlier compared to the control group). At sphincterometry on the 12th day, 6 patients of the control group had first degree anal incontinence, 3 - second degree anal incontinence compared with only 1 (1.8%) case in the study group (second degree sphincter incontinence). Conclusion. A proposed diagnostic strategy in women with anal incontinence due to perineal tears of II-III degrees after the labor trauma, allowed choosing the optimal method of surgical treatment and improving treatment outcomes.

The disease history, levels of ТЗ, T4, ТТН were investigated and thyroid ultrasonography was made in 111 patients with diffuse toxic goiter (DTG) admitted to hospital in 1984—1993. Of them, '83 had primary DTG, 28 had recurrent thyrotoxicosis. The diagnosis was made in 1978—1993, the treatment was performed in different medical institutions according to the patients ’ residence. The analysis showed that endocrinologists of different clinics practice different policy of thyrostatic treatment (different initial doses of the drugs, different duration of their administration). Out of 98 patients treated with mercasolil recurrence arose in 68%, persistent euthyrosis in 35%, hypothyroidism in 2%>. It is demonstrated that outcome of the conservative treatment does not depend on the initial dose of mercasolil or adjuvant levo-thyroxine but solely on the duration of continuous treatment. After 52 operations recurrences occurred in 35%, hypothyroidism in 36%, euthyrosis in 29%. Recurrent thyrotoxicosis developed as a rule within a year after thyrostatic treatment (84%) and within 5 years after operation (94%).

The aim of the work was to analyze the long-term results of using a temporary “liquid” implant in the surgery of congenital glaucoma in children. The basis of the developed method of filtrative antiglaucomatous surgery (Patent of Ukraine No. 45099 of 2009) – viscosinusotrabeculotomy – has been set the task of reducing the risk of developing intra- and postoperative complications, reducing the scarring rate and maintaining the newly created ways of the intraocular ﬂuid outﬂow, which in general will increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of congenital glaucoma in children. 54 children (91 eyes) with simple congenital glaucoma at the age of 1 to 36 months were operated on average (8.7 ± 8.2) months. The persistent and long-lasting hypotensive effect achieved due to viscosinusotrabeculotomy in children with developed and far-advanced stages of congenital glaucoma stops the processes of stretching of the membranes of the eye and stabilizes their size, which in general allows preserving and visual functions improving, in infancy – creating conditions for their formation.

Critical Overview

In the current oncological practice surgical treatment of gastroesophageal cancer with high involvement of the esophagus can extend to total esophago-gastrectomy with colonic interposition as the main method of radical treatment. However the technical complexity and high risk of the intervention are factors in determining the divergent views on the operation itself, testimony for the criteria of patient’s selection, choice of surgical access and the formation of a colonic graft in conjunction with method of esophageal reconstruction. The long-term results of operative intervention depend primarily on the extent of tumor process but obviously higher than after conservative treatment. This article presents a brief critical overview of the main aspects of the simultaneous application of esophago-gastrectomy in surgery of gastroesophageal cancer with high esophageal involvement and our clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a woman with pregnancy-associated gastroesophageal cancer.
