The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of the adherence to the WHO surgical safety checklist.Material and methods. A comparative analysis of the performance of the surgical departments in two clinics was carried out: in the first clinic the WHO checklist was applied to control the performance of the surgical department; in the second clinic these recommendations were not used. The results of 3012 (first clinic) and 3527 surgical interventions (second clinic) were analyzed. The authors studied the frequency of postoperative complications, the effectiveness when using all the points of the recommendations.Results. The frequency of antibiotic prophylaxis during general surgical operations in clinic I was 89.3%, in clinic II - 63.7%, the frequency of infection in the area of ​​surgical intervention was by 13.2% and up to two times higher in clinic II, mortality rates after surgery were also significantly higher in clinic II; consequently, the duration of inpatient treatment was 8.7 in clinic I versus 16.4 days in clinic II.Conclusion. The adherence to the surgical safety checklist can effectively reduce the number of postoperative complications, mortality, and reduce the time of inpatient treatment.

В статье представлены данные оригинального исследования по улучшению хирургического лечения аневризм брюшного отдела аорты. С этой целью произведен сравнительный анализ двух альтернативных друг другу операций: 1) резекции аневризмы с последующим протезированием аорты; 2) эндопротезирования аорты. Сформулировано научное предположение о том, что замена «классических» операций резекции аневризмы на «альтернативные» операции эндопротезирования приведет к принципиальному снижению уровня послеоперационных осложнений. В независимых группах пациентов с использованием сравниваемых хирургических вмешательств произведена точная качественная и количественная оценка послеоперационных осложнений: нетромботических - кардиальных, пульмональных, ренальных и тромботических - тромбозов глубоких вен и тромбозов браншей протеза. После реализации исследования было установлено, что замена «классических» операций на «альтернативные» достоверно приводит к принципиальному снижению уровня наиболее жизнеопасных осложнений - кардиальных (острых форм ишемической болезни сердца, нарушений сердечного ритма), пульмональных (пневмоний, тромбоэмболии легочной артерии, респираторного дистресс-синдрома взрослых) и ренальных (острой почечной недостаточности). Некоторое исключение составили менее жизнеопасные тромботические осложнения. Полученные результаты имеют высокий уровень статистической значимости, что позволяет рекомендовать их к рассмотрению к использованию в практике сосудистой хирургии The article presents data from an original study to improve the surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of two alternate operations was performed: 1) aneurysm resection followed by aortic prosthetics; 2) aortic endoprosthetics. The scientific hypothesis is formulated that the replacement of the «classical» operations of resection of the aneurysm with «alternative» operations of endoprosthetics will lead to a fundamental decrease in the level of postoperative complications. In independent groups of patients using the compared surgical interventions, an accurate qualitative and quantitative assessment of postoperative complications was made: non-thrombotic - cardiac, pulmonary, renal and thrombotic - deep vein thrombosis and prosthetic jaw thrombosis. After the study was completed, it was found that the fundamental replacement of «classical» operations with «alternative» reliably leads to a fundamental decrease in the level of the most life-threatening complications - cardiac (acute forms of coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias), pulmonary (pneumonia, pulmonary thromboembolism, respiratory distress syndrome of adults) and renal (acute renal failure). Some exceptions were less life-threatening thrombotic complications. The results obtained have a high level of statistical significance, which allows us to recommend them for consideration in the practice of vascular surgery

Summary. The purpose of the study is to establish the indications and contraindications for the removal of foreign bodies of lungs of gunshot origin. Materials and methods. In the surgical department of the surgical clinic of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Northern Region, 207 wounded who received gunshot wounds penetrating the chest were examined. The wounded were divided into 2 groups depending on the operational tactics used. The main group of 97 wounded who were treated using modern video endoscopic technology and magnetic surgical instruments. The comparison group consisted of 110 wounded who received traditional treatment. Results and their discussion. Using video endoscopic technologies and magnetic surgical instruments during surgery, 42 (54.5%) in the main group were removed, in the comparison group — 23 (27.4%) foreign bodies. The amount of surgery should not exceed the amount of damage that minimizes surgical trauma. The article presents indications and contraindications to the removal of foreign bodies of pulmonary origin. The differential approach allows to determine the surgical tactics depending on the location of the foreign body, its size and the fit of foreign bodies to the vessels, bronchi, mediastinum. Adherence to the rules of removal of foreign bodies of the lung, depending on the location of its location and size leads to a decrease in inappropriate surgical interventions and postoperative complications. Conclusions. 1. The distribution of foreign bodies by location and size allows you to clearly determine the tactics of treatment and avoid postoperative complications. 2. Surgical interventions to remove foreign bodies should be performed in the first days after stabilization of the patient’s condition using minimally invasive technologies.

The main postulate of periodontal treatment is the elimination of factors injuring periodontal disease, creating conditions for the normalization of its properties. Structures with additional supports on the intraosseous implants are optimal for orthopaedic treatment. The possibilities and conditions for surgical intervention on periodontal tissues and implantation in patients with varying severity of chronic GP were generally poorly understood.The aim of the study – to improve the treatment of patients with partial edentia and chronic generalized periodontitis by including dental implantation to the complex of therapeutic measures.Materials and Methods. There are presented the results of 360 patients with varying severity degrees of generalized periodontitis who underwent surgery on periodontal tissues with dental implantation.Results and Discussion. Our research showed that implantation in patients with mild generalized periodontitis can achieve consistently good results regardless the method of treatment. Simultaneous surgery on periodontal tissues and the dental implantation shortens treatment duration in 1.5–2 times without compromising its quality. It is shown that in patients with moderate and severe degrees of generalized periodontitis it is appropriate to perform periodontal surgery separately followed by dental implantation to prevent postoperative complications and implant loss. When planning for dental implants and periodontal surgical intervention it is necessary to determine the quality of bone remodeling to assess the structural and functional state of bone tissue and differentiated destination osteotropic drugs that promote positive postoperative period.Conclusions. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of dental implantation and surgical periodontal intervention, bone remodelling markers should be determined to assess the structural and functional status of bone tissue and for the differentiated use of osteotropic drugs, which will contribute to the positive development of the postoperative period. Simultaneous surgical intervention on periodontal tissues and dental implantation in 1.5–2 times reduces the duration of treatment without reducing its quality. In patients with moderate to severe degrees, it is expedient to carry out surgical interventions with subsequent dental implantation in order to prevent postoperative complications and loss of implants.

The aim of the work: to demonstrate modern possibilities and ways of providing rehabilitation of patients after radical surgical treatment of non-tumour colon diseases with available non-typical anatomical and functional states. Materials and Methods. The system of surgical rehabilitation measures was developed, which was used in 32 patients with available atypical anatomical and functional states after radical organ-preserving operations in non-tumour colon diseases. They are aimed at implementing sufficiently radical, reconstruction and restoration operations, forecasting and preventing postoperative complications, improving functional results, reducing the incidence and severity of severe forms of diarrhea and postcolectomy syndromes. Results and Discussion. In 2 (6.3 %) patients there were complications due to the implementation of reconstruction and restoration stage of surgical intervention. They led to the necessity of extirpation of the anal canal fistula, removal of ileoendoanal anastomosis, and the formation of a lifelong ileostomy. In 30 (93.7 %) patients, favourable functional results were obtained, and a significant level of surgical and social work rehabilitation was achieved. A significant level of rehabilitation of operated patients was achieved through the implementation of sufficiently radical and developed reconstruction and restoration operations that prevented the relapse of the disease, the emergence of pathological conditions caused by the removal of the large intestine; prognostication and purposeful prevention of severe postoperative complications, stage monitoring of the condition of operated patients. Conclusions. 1. Surgical rehabilitation of patients operated for serious non-tumour colon diseases is a complex of organizational and therapeutic and prophylactic means aimed at returning to a society of a citizen sufficiently adapted to the conditions of modern society. Surgical rehabilitation of patients with atypical anatomical and functional states in the radical surgical treatment of non-tumour colon diseases requires further improvement of surgical treatment methods and lifelong monitoring of the condition of operated patients. 3. Performing sufficiently radical surgical operations, developing new reconstruction and rehabilitation operations for existing non-typical anatomical and functional states contributed to the provision of favourable functional results, a significant level of surgical and social and labour rehabilitation in 93.7% of patients.

From modern positions, removal of the spleen is undesirable due to the risk of post-splenectomy syndrome development, where first of all, the clinical manifestations of the syndrome of suppressive post-splenectomy infections are taken into account, which justifies either performing organ-preserving surgical interventions on the spleen, or heterotopic autotransplantation of spleen tissue. Spleen resection is accompanied by significant blood loss, both during the intervention and in the postoperative period. The various methods of prevention of bleeding (clips, coagulation instruments, local hemostatics, etc.) are not always effective. Currently, there have been reports of the possibility of using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in interventions on the spleen. The literature data and own 10 observations of spleen resection with the use of RFA in patients with focal organ lesions are presented. All described in literature technologies use the Rita® device for RF destruction and the corresponding attachment, which consists of 4 needle active electrodes. The spleen parenchyma is "burned" blindly, and the organ parenchyma is divided in the middle, between the treated injections. A new technique for performing spleen resection using radiofrequency ablation has been proposed at A.V. Vishnevsky National Medical Research Center of Surgery. The essence of our proposed method for minimizing blood loss during spleen resection is as follows: RFA-exposure is carried out along the zone of organ ischaemia under the control of ultrasound. For RFA, we used a Radionics Cool-Tip® Ablation System and a set of water-cooled electrodes (MEDTRONIC, USA). The features of the surgical intervention are noted. No bleeding was noted either intraoperatively or in the postoperative period in any case. A comparative analysis of the results of various methods of organ-saving surgical treatment is presented.

The data of the analysis of the efficacy of the use of laparoscopic operations in comparison with open surgical interventions for ten years in 8462 children with the acute surgical pathology of the abdominal cavity on the basis of an emergency surgical hospital are presented. Laparoscopic operations were performed in 4984 (59%) patients, and open surgical operations were performed in 3478 (41%) patients. In the treatment of acute surgical pathology in children, laparoscopic operations have been established to provide: low traumatic operative access and manipulation; visual control of all stages of the operation; relief of pain syndrome and intestinal paresis; early recovery of impaired functions and the patient activity; decline in the number of postoperative complications, the prevalence of adhesions; significant reduction in the length of stay in the hospital; excellent cosmetic result. The authors showed the execution of laparoscopic surgical interventions to be economically more profitable if compared with open operations in children.

SUMMARY. According to the WHO data, the acute hematogenous osteomyelitis becomes chronic in 20–60 % of patients. The aim – to improve the results of surgical treatment of chronic recurrent hematogenous osteo­myelitis (CRHO) by optimizing the surgical intervention. Material and Methods. 180 patients with CRHO were involved (from 1995 to 2016), average age was (15.5±5.9) years, the ratio of boys and girls was 2.3/1. The duration of disease in 63.3 % of patients exceeded 4 years, including 12.8 % – 10 years. All patients were divided into two clinical groups: the control group consisted of 74 (41.1 %) – patients who received traditional surgical treatment from 1995 to 2003 (local sequesternecrectomy in the zone of greatest lesion). The basic group of patients consisted of 106 (58.9 %) patients who underwent surgical treatment in the period from 2004 to 2016 according to the developed methodology (a technique of extended sequesternecrectomy with recanalization of the affected bone). Results. The proposed tactics of surgical treatment of CRHO allowed to statistically significantly reduce the frequency of wound purulent complications from 20.3 to 3.8 %, reduce the overall duration of inpatient treatment (from (31.2±2.1) to (21.9±0.6) days) and the duration of stay in the clinic in the postoperative period (from (18.3±0.9) to (14.9±0.35). Special questionnaire for assessment of the distant results of surgical treatment of CRHO, demonstrated good results in the main group in 97.7 %, in the control group – only in 34.7 % of cases. A satisfactory result in the basic group was in 1 (1.2 %) patient, while in the control group there were 32.7 %. The number of unsatisfactory results in the basic group was significantly lower (1.2 %) than in the control group (32.7 %). Conclusions. Comparative analysis of the outcomes of CRHO treatment showed that the developed tactics of surgical treatment allowed reducing the recurrence rate of the disease from 32.7 % to 1.2 % and in 98.9 % of patients getting good and satisfactory results.
