Outcomes of surgical treatment of 72 children with concomitant (55) and multiple (17) injuries of locomotor system were analyzed. In 53 patients (group 1) surgical interventions for bone fractures were performed in early terms (within 3 days after trauma), in 19 patients (group 2) the interventions were postponed. In group 1 good and satisfactory result was achieved in 92% of patients (63 segments), in group 2 - in 85.2% of patients (23 segments). Duration of hospitalization made up in two groups 11.5 and 14.5 days, respectively. Application of pirod external fixation devices facilitated the treatment course due to the reduction of treatment duration and traumatization, as well as use of more simple technique of long bones and pelvis osteosynthesis.

Background. The spatial relationship between the epiphysis and the acetabulum in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) with severe chronic epiphysis displacement is restored by different corrective extra-articular femoral osteotomies and a standard Dunn procedure. Severe residual deformity of the femoral component of the joint with symptoms of femoroacetabular impingement and a large number of severe ischemic complications forced the surgeons to improve the technique of these surgical interventions. In particular, a modified Dunn procedure was proposed using a low traumatic surgical hip dislocation. However, the selection of surgical treatment in these patients remains a subject of discussion. Aim. This study aimed to improve the results of treatment in children with SCFE with severe chronic epiphysis displacement. Materials and methods. Data of preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiological studies of 40 patients (24 male and 16 female) aged 1215 years who were suffering from SCFE with severe chronic epiphysis displacement were analyzed. In all cases, on the lesion side, displacement was found in typical directions (posterior-downward or only posterior), and in the contralateral joint, the disease was still at its initial stage (pre-slip). In group 1 (n = 20 children), a corrective extra-articular femoral (anterior-rotational or rotational-valgus) osteotomy was performed according to the method we have proposed in 2011 [22], and in group 2 (n = 20 children), the modified Dunn procedure that strictly followed our technique was performed. The follow-up period after surgery in both groups ranged from 1 month to 2.5 years. Results. At 2.5 years after surgery, good anatomical and functional outcomes were observed only in 1 (12.5%) of 8 patients in group 1, while they were observed in 7 (87.5%) of 8 patients in group 2. Poor results were determined by residual epiphyseal displacement (from 22 to 28) and/or step-like transition of the anterior femoral neck surface to the head in 5 (62.5%) children in group 1 and by femoral head avascular necrosis (diagnosed in 6 months after surgery) in 1 (12.5%) child in group 2. Conclusion. The results allow us to make a preliminary conclusion about the high efficiency of the modified Dunn procedure and the low efficiency of the corrective extra-articular femoral osteotomy in SCFE with severe chronic displacement of the epiphysis. The modified Dunn procedure corrects the pronounced deformity of the femoral component of the affected joint and femoroacetabular impingement in the above-mentioned anatomical situations.

Background. In young children, the most common liver disease leading to transplantation is biliary atresia. Liver transplantation has fundamentally improved the survival rate of children with biliary atresia. Studies on developmental outcomes in children are mostly limited to small samples; there are no such studies in the Russian Federation.Objective: to determine the cognitive outcomes in children undergoing one-stage or two-stage surgical treatment of biliary atresia.Materials and Methods. 83 children were divided into groups: 36 children underwent transplantation without previous surgical interventions (group 1), 47 children underwent the Kasai palliative portoenterostomy (group 2). Inclusion criteria: 24 months of age or younger at the moment of transplantation, no medical history of neurological pathology. All children were examined before transplantation and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after liver transplantation. Psychomotor development was assessed using the Griffiths Psychomotor Development Scale for children under 24 months (translated by E.S. Keshishian), the Griffiths Intellectual Development Scale for children aged 2 to 8 years, and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised, for children 16-30 months old.Results. All children had developmental delays at the time of transplantation. Up to 50% of the children had signs of cachexia, with a shoulder circumference of less than 3 percentile. Only two children showed obvious hepatic encephalopathy in the form of depressed consciousness. After liver transplantation, 94% of group 1 children recovered their preoperative psychomotor development levels, and only 68% in group 2 made these gains. At 3 and 6 months after transplantation, about 80% of group 1 children showed normal psychomotor development, whereas in group 2, only 61% did. By 12 months after liver transplantation, the difference between the groups was more evident: 83.3% of group 1 children and only 53.2% of group 2 children were developing according to age. The difference between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05).Conclusion. Children who received one-stage treatment of biliary atresia and underwent liver transplantation have better neuropsychological development within a year after surgery than children with two-stage surgical treatment.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the efficacy of silodosin in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) refractory to previous α-adrenergic receptor (AR) blocker therapy. Materials and Methods: Patients who did not benefit from alpha-blocker therapy but avoided surgical treatment constitute the population of our study. Seventy-five patients were studied in each group; Group 1 was given 8 mg of silodosin, while Group 2 continued the previous alpha-blocker treatment. Results: The initial mean international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was calculated as 20.81±0.97 in Group 1, in the third month there was a decrease of 17.12±1.25 (p<0.05). No significant change was observed in Group 2. In addition, a significant decrease was observed in IPSS subscores (storage and voiding symptoms) in Group 1 compared to baseline at the third month. There was an improvement in residual urine in the silodosin group and no improvement in the other group. Conclusion: In patients with BPH who refuse surgical treatment and could not achieve adequate symptom relief with other α-blockers in routine practice, silodosin was found superior in terms of LUTS recovery. Silodosin is also an effective option in patients who cannot undergo surgical treatment due to comorbidities.

Purpose: Proximal phalangeal bone fractures with displacement are treated using operative procedures. These fractures can cause stiffness of the interphalangeal or metacarpophalangeal joints, which can be relieved using various operative and nonoperative techniques. This study analyzed the range of motion (ROM) and pain after a combination therapy to treat finger stiffness following proximal phalangeal fractures.Methods: Fifty-two patients who underwent operative procedures for proximal phalangeal fractures and showed finger stiffness from March 2015 to January 2021 were included in this retrospective study. The patients in group 1 (n=24) performed elastic resistance exercises, while those in group 2 (n=28) underwent conventional exercise. ROM and pain score were measured at 5, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Furthermore, a patient with a swan-neck deformity and intractable stiffness was treated using partial translocation of the extensor apparatus, and the postoperative outcome is presented.Results: Group 1 showed a larger ROM and less pain than group 2 at 12 weeks postoperatively (p<0.05). Patients in both groups exhibited notable improvements with regard to ROM and pain during the study period (p<0.05). In addition, the swan-neck deformity accompanying hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint was significantly relieved.Conclusion: Proximal phalangeal bone fractures can lead to stiffness of the interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints. Joint stiffness was relieved using an elastic resistance exercise protocol in the early postoperative period. Intractable stiffness showing a fixed joint angle can be treated with thorough tenolysis and corrective surgery.

Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of femtolaser-assisted phacoemulsification in glaucomatous eyes in the long-term follow-up. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the results of the surgical treatment of patients with combined cataract and glaucoma pathology was analyzed. The patients were divided into groups depending on the method of surgical intervention: 1) phacoemulsification with femtolaser support (26 eyes, 23 patients); 2) phacoemulsification (36 eyes, 30 patients); Results. Before surgery, there were no statistically significant differences in IOP and corneal hysteresis (СН) between groups 1 and 2. The mean values of IOP cc, IOP g and СН of group 1 before surgery were 22.7±6.1 mm Hg, 20.9±6.9 mm Hg, 8.5±1.6 mm Hg; 2 group – 22.9±8.7 mm Hg, 21.6±8.9 mm Hg, 8.9±1.6 mm Hg respectively. Average values of IOP cc, IOP g and CН 5 years after the surgical treatment in group 1 were 15.3±1.2 mm Hg, 14.4±3.4 mm Hg, 9.6±4.2 mm Hg; in group 2 – 18.0±4.2 mm Hg, 16.1±4.2 mm Hg, 8.8±2.2 mm Hg respectively. In both groups, stabilization of IOP and CH indices was noted, which remained throughout the entire observation period, which shows the normalization of the biomechanical properties of the corneoscleral membrane of the eye in the long-term postoperative period. Conclusion. Femtolaser accompaniment of phacoemulsification is an effective and safe method of cataract surgery for combined pathology. Key words: femtolaser, cataract, glaucoma, phacoemulsification.

The pathology of mixed injuries resulting from simultaneous action of several damaging factors on the organism is still insufficiently known. Peritonitis is the most frequent complication of injuries to the abdominal organs. Co-existence of peritonitis with radiation sickness impairs considerably the results of therapeutic management and prognosis. Surgical treatment is indicated in the latent period of radiation sickness or only in the period of recovery. In the case of diffuse peritonitis, the time of performing the operation is of essential importance for the prognosis. Thepurposeof the reportedinvestigationswas the study of the effect of ionizing radiation before exposure of the organism on the course of diffuse peritonitis and a trial of prolonging with an antibiotic the preliminary stage of the disease in which surgical treatment is effective. Investigations were carried out on 160 male Wistar rats weighing 250g on the average, divided into five groups. Group 1 served as control. In Group 2, the rats were only exposed to radiation.

6069 Background: To evaluate the clinical and patologic results of surgical treatment of children born after Chernobyl and to compare these findings with well-known data of the group of patients who were children at the time of Chernobyl. To compare the clinical and pathologic features of thyroid cancer of children born after the Chernobyl versus those born prior to 1986. Methods: Comparison of clinical and pathologic result of surgical treatment of 141 patients born after Chernobyl (Group 1) and 589 patients (Group 2) aged 0–18 at the time of the disaster (1986) among the single institution clinical cohort within years 1995–2005. Results: In Group 1 there were 31 cancers (22%) vs. 243 (41%) in Group 2 (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). The rate of extrathyroid invasion was 69% vs. 36% (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). In Group 1, 17/21(80%) patients with extrathyroid invasion were found to have regional neck metastases (8 unilateral, 9 bilateral).The mean age in this subgroup was 13.4 ± 2.11 years but in the “benign subgroup” of Group 1 the mean age is 16.2 ± 0.77 years.In Group 2, 49/88 (55%) patients with extrathyroid invasion only had regional metastases. The mean age in this subgroup is 31.1 ± 4.7 years (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). We found cancer multifocality in 1 patient (3%, Group 1) vs. 55 (23%, Group 2).There were 19 cases (13.5%) of atypical adenomas in Group 1 vs. 46 (8%) in Group 2 (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). Histological types: solid follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (typical for radiation-induced children carcinomas with short latency) was found in 3 cases in Group 1 (9.5%) vs. 76 (31%) in the Group 2 (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). There was only one case of follicular thyroid cancer in Group 1 (3%) vs. 9% in Group 2. We did not find any relationship of cases of cancer in Group 1 to the Chernobyl-polluted area (only 3 patients − 10% from the nearest to Chernobyl regions) vs. 192 patients (80%) in Group 2 (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). Among patients with tumors of uncertain malignant potential 9 patients (6%) were from Chernobyl-polluted area vs.72% in Group 2 (p<0.05 between Group 1 and Group 2). Conclusions: Our data demonstrates higher likelihood of aggressive well-differentiated thyroid cancer among a pediatric population independently from Chernobyl irradiation and connected with another etiological factors of genesis of tumor.The solid-follicular variant of papillary cancer and multifocality are typical for radiation-induced carcinoma in children. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
