The purposeto evaluate the effectiveness of dosing procedures for the degree of anterior transposition of the lower oblique muscle in the surgical treatment of its secondary hyperfunction of varying severity using modern methods of ophthalmological examination.Patients and methods. Between January 2013 and June 2017, 31 children (31 eyes) aged 3 to 17 years with vertical strabismus due to unilateral insufficiency of the superior oblique muscle were monitored. Depending on the magnitude of the vertical deviation in the adduction on the paretic eye measured in degrees by the Hirschberg method in the head rotation position, all patients were divided into two groups: group 1 — 12 children (12 eyes) (no more than 7° according to Hirschberg); group 2 — 19 patients (19 eyes) (more than 7° according to Hirschberg). Surgical treatment of hypertrophy was performed in all patients in both groups. Weakened the lower oblique muscle by its dosed front transposition. The degree of anterior transposition of the lower oblique muscle depended on the magnitude of the angle of vertical deviation.Results. The surgical intervention on the lower oblique muscle was performed in all patients in full. Hypertrophy in the primary position of the gaze in group 1 was completely eliminated in 11 eyes (91.7%), in group 2 — in 17 eyes (89.5%). The residual vertical angle, equal to 3 ° according to Hirschberg, in group 1 was detected in 1 eye (8.3%), in group 2 — in the 2 eyes (10.5%). Hypertrophy in adduction in group 1 was completely eliminated in 10 eyes (83.3%), in group 2 — in 17 eyes (89.5%). The residual vertical angle of 3° in Hirschberg’s group 1 was detected in 2 eyes (16.7%), in group 2 — in 2 eyes (10.5%).The conclusion. Application of the technology of dosed front transposition of the lower oblique muscle in the surgical treatment of its secondary hyperfunction will significantly improve the effectiveness and safety of treatment and reduce the risk of complications, shorten the duration of surgery and anesthesia in child. The developed method of dosing the degree of anterior transposition allows to perform this operation monolaterally, without fear of developing secondary hyperfunction of the lower oblique muscle in the pair eye.

Aim. The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness of the surgical correction of hyperfunction of the inferior oblique muscle in the children depending on the degree of overaction. Materials and methods. We undertook the analysis of hyperactivity of the inferior oblique muscle in 78 children (128 eyes) at the age varying from 4 to 15 years. All the patients were followed up for 9 years. The ophthalmological examination included the determination of vertical deviation with the use of the Hirschberg test and prisms, the study of eyeball movements in 8 gaze directions, the Bielschowsky darkening wedge test, the assessment of the character of vision by means of the Worth's four-dot test, visiometry, dioptos copy, and ophthalmoscopy. Results. The patients underwent myotomy, anterior transposition or myoectomy of the inferior oblique muscle with recession taking into consideration the degree of hyperfunction. Conclusion. Myotomy eliminates vertical deviation only in case of grade 1 overaction. Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle provides an efficient tool for the surgical treatment of the condition being considered because it permits to rapidly correct the large angle of vertical strabismus in the patients presenting with grade 2 or 3 hyperfunction of the inferior oblique muscle. It is recommended to treat grade 4 overaction my means of myoectomy with a recession of up to 10 mm.

Aim. A retrospective analysis of the results of surgical treatment of large idiopathic macular holes depending on the technique of surgical intervention. Methods. The results of surgical treatment of 60 patients (60 eyes) with idiopathic macular holes with a diameter of more than 800 μm were studied in the Republican clinical ophthalmology hospital of Kazan. The average age of the patients was 66.2±5.37 (61-74) years. The patients underwent complex ophthalmological examination before the surgery and 10 days and 1 month after the surgery, including visometry, tonometry and optical coherence tomography. Patients were divided into two groups (30 subjects each), comparable in clinical and epidemiological parameters: group 1 - standard surgical tactics, group 2 - surgical treatment according to the method proposed by professor A.N. Samoylov. Visual acuity with correction before surgery in group 1 was 0.11±0.05, in group 2 - 0.12±0.06. Results. Ten days after the surgery, group 1 had anatomical closure in 23 (76.7%) patients, anatomical result was not achieved in 7 (23.3%) patients. In group 2, complete closure of the rupture was achieved in 27 (90.0%) patients, incomplete - in 3 (10.0%) patients. In 1 month in group 1, complete closure of the macular rupture was observed in 22 (73.3%) patients, in 8 (26.7%) patients the result was not achieved. In group 2, complete closure of the rupture was determined in 28 (93.3%) patients, incomplete closure - in 2 (6.7%) patients. Visual acuity 1 month after the surgery in group 1 was 0.15±0.08, and in group 2 - 0.32±0.11 (p <0.05). Conclusion. Surgical treatment of large idiopathic macular holes according to the modified technique of the inverted internal limiting membrane flap proposed by professor A.N. Samoylov, provides better anatomical and functional results in comparison with the standard technique (p <0.05).

Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) is a very common type of arrhythmia. Some patients require surgical treatment. The search for the safest methods of surgical treatment is an important research task.Aim. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation in patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias depending on the implementation of X-ray control.Material and methods. The study included 183 patients admitted to the Federal Center for Cardiovascular Surgery for elective surgery, with frequent idiopathic PVC and indications for surgical treatment of arrhythmia. In the majority of patients with idiopathic PVC, the central origin of ectopia is the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=90) — patients with idiopathic PVC after fluoroscopy-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA); group 2 (n=93) — patients after RFA without fluoroscopy. All patients underwent electrocardiography, echocardiography, and electrophysiological testing. All patients before and after RFA underwent 24-hour Holter monitoring.Results. Among patients of group 1, the initial success of RFA was 62,2%, and in group 2 — 71% (p=0,21). Surgery complications were registered in 3,3% and 4,3% of patients of groups 1 and 2. No deaths have been reported. The duration of surgery did not depend on the use of fluoroscopy. Among patients with failed initial RFA, the effectiveness of subsequent interventions was 88,6%. The greatest efficiency of initial RFA was observed when the ectopic ventricular focus was located in RVOT The lowest efficiency of RFA was observed when the focus was located in the left ventricular papillary muscles.Conclusion. RFA in patients with idiopathic PVC without fluoroscopy does not increase the complication rate and the duration of surgery and have a comparable efficacy compared to fluoroscopy-guided RFA.

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. 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.

Objective. To compare the effect of sutureless versus multiple sutures technique on postoperative variables such as pain, swelling, and trismus after surgical removal of the third molar in Nepalese subpopulation. Materials and Methods. Forty-eight patients were equally grouped into multiple sutures (group 1) and sutureless (group 2) groups using a computer-generated random table. The same operator performed all the surgical procedures. Postoperative variables such as pain, swelling, and trismus were measured by a single concealed observer using a 10 cm Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), flexible plastic measuring tape, and vernier caliper preoperatively and on 1st, 2nd, and 7th postoperative days. Results. This study showed significantly more swelling measured from the gonion to lateral canthus in group 1 than in group 2 on all postoperative periods (P<0.05). The mean NRS score was significantly higher in group 1 on the 1st postoperative day (P=0.01). Though mean duration of surgery, swelling as measured from tragus to commissure, trismus, NRS score except on the 1st postoperative day, total number of analgesics consumed, and complications were noted more in the multiple sutures group, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion. Our results support the use of sutureless technique after third molar surgery to minimize postoperative morbidity and the overall operative time and reduce the cost within the Nepalese subpopulation.
