Abstract Background: An intramedullary nail has become the implant of choice for intertrochanteric fractures. This paper introduced some minimal invasive techniques were used to improve quality of intertrochanteric fracture reduction. Methods: Of 119 intertrochanteric fractures treated from January 2014 to October 2019. All patients who received internal fixation on traction bed, and who could not achieve satisfactory closed reduction through the process of "external rotation, abduction, traction, adduction and internal rotation". Reductions were classified as good, acceptable, or poor. We had acceptable reduction in 83 cases and poor reduction in 37 cases though closed reduction. The displacement was reduced using some minimal invasive techniques. Results: After performing the relative techniques in these cases, no case had a poor result. 112(94.9%) cases were in a good reduction. Anatomical reduction should always be achieved in intertrochanteric fractures. Conclusion: The minimal invasive techniques could help the surgeon achieve satisfactory reduction in intertrochanteric fractures. This work had the potential to improve the cognition of reduction of intertrochanteric fractures for surgeons, especially beginners and juniors.

Summary. The aim of the study. To improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis using minimal invasive techniques. Matherials and Methods of the study. The results of surgical treatment of 75 patients with different forms of acute pancreatitis were analyzed. All patients were examined and operated on. Results of the study. Minimally invasive interventions were performed in 92 % of the analyzed patients. Intraoperatively acute pancreatic edema was observed in 43 % of patients, hemorrhagic pancreatic necrosis – in 24 %, infected pancreatic necrosis – in 33 %. The postoperative period was complicated by 13.3 %, the mortality rate was 9.3 %. Conclusions. The use of minimally invasive techniques for treating acute pancreatitis can significantly improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with this pathology. The frequency of complications and lethality decreases. Also, it is possible to significantly reduce operational trauma, and hence the number of bed-days of stay in hospital treatment. This contributes to reducing the financial cost of treatment in patients with acute pancreatitis, as well as improving the quality of life of this category of patients.

Abstract: According to the statistical data of tumor registries the incidence of cancer has increased in the last decade, however the mortality shows only a slight change due to the new and effective multimodal treatments. The aim of our overview article is to present the changes in the survival of the metastatic patients, and to demonstrate which factors influence their prognosis. The improvement of survival resulted in a more active surgical role both in metastases of the bone of the extremities and the pelvis. We present a diagnostic flow chart and current options for the reconstruction of the different regions of the bone and skeleton, and we will discuss their potential advantages, disadvantages and complications. It is evident that apart from the impending and pathological fracture surgery it is not the first choice of treatment but rather a palliative measure. The aim of surgery is to alleviate pain, to regain mobility and improve quality of life. If possible minimal invasive techniques are performed, as they are less demanding and allow fast rehabilitation for the patient, and they are solutions that last for a lifetime. In optimal conditions radical curative surgery can be performed in about 10 to 15 per cent of the cases, and better survival is encouraging. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(40): 1563–1569.

Cancer surgery remains the cornerstone of curative cancer treatment for most solid cancers. Staging, resectability and timing of surgery should be discussed in a multidisciplinary team. Complete resection offers the best prognosis at many stages. Anatomical planes of surgery need to be taught and respected to reduce locoregional recurrence rate. Age, comorbidities, and patient preferences are important to consider before surgical treatment is advised. Minimal invasive techniques have shown equivalence in oncologic outcome for certain cancer types and established benefits in short-term outcomes. A laparoscopic approach is even sometimes possible. It remains important to select patients for these techniques according to medical history, staging, and fitness. In specialized centres locally advanced disease can be treated by a multimodal approach. The quality of surgery can be improved using standardized audit structures to monitor and feed back on outcome of surgery such as resected margins, infectious complications, and disease-free and overall survival.

SummaryIn this retrospective study, we compared the value of radiographic and computerized tomographic (CT) imaging for the diagnosis of lateral trochlear ridge talar osteochondritis dissecans (LTRT-OCD) in 11 tarsocrural joints. The flexed dorsoplantar skyline and the plantarolateral-dorsomedial projections were the most reliable for radiographic detection of OCD fragments (in 7 of the 11 joints). Overall, radiography detected OCD fragments in 8 of 11 joints. By contrast, the OCD fragments could be visualized and exactly localized by CT in all 11 joints. Computerized tomography allowed the talar ridges to be inspected without superimposition of any bony structures. This information may be very useful when minimal invasive techniques are used to treat LTRT-OCD lesions. The findings of this study suggest that CT is superior to radiography for making a diagnosis of LTRT-OCD in the dog.

Retropleural minimal invasive approach to the thoracolumbar junction has become more popular in the last decade both for degenerative and traumatic spine surgery as it marries the advantages of direct vision typical of open surgery and the philosophy of tissue sparing which characterizes the thoracoscopic approach. Nevertheless, as with the just mentioned techniques, this approach also requires the caudal displacement of the diaphragm with the organs below including the spleen. The authors report one case of postoperative spleen disruption following a retropleural minimal invasive approach in a patient with an underlying grade II spleen lesion occurred 8 days before and considered safe by the general surgeon. We conclude that even negligible spleen injuries must be considered an absolute contraindication to thoracolumbar junction lateral approach even with minimal invasive techniques.

Background Although the role of incompetent perforating veins (IPV) in chronic venous insufficiency remains controversial, they are often treated by surgical or by minimal invasive techniques. Objectives To describe the procedure of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of IPV and to evaluate its short-term effectiveness and safety. Methods In a clinical pilot study, 14 IPV in 12 patients were treated with a radiofrequency stylet. After three months, ultrasound (US) examination was used to assess anatomical success rate and exclude deep venous thrombosis. Also, self-reported side-effects were investigated. Results Of the 14 treated IPV, nine (64%) were obliterated on US examination and the others showed remaining reflux. Two patients reported localized paresthesia, but no deep venous thrombosis was recorded. Conclusion RFA of IPV may be a promising procedure, but patient and incompetent perforator vein selection is important and further standardization of the procedure is required. Comparative clinical trials between RFA and other therapies are warranted.
