Introduction. Synovial cyst or hygroma is a common disease that occurs in both children and adults, but it is most often observed in people 20–45 years old. More than 60% of patients who go to the polyclinic with complaints about the presence of tumor-like formations have hygroma.Goal. Analysis of the results of treatment of synovial cysts of the hand and wrist joint according to our own observations and literature data.Material and methods. We observed 54 patients suffering from hygroma of the hand and wrist joint, who were treated in polyclinic No. 2 and MEDEL multidisciplinary clinic in Kazan from 2005 to 2020. The treatment of hygrom was carried out using conservative (puncture) and surgical methods. Results. Our experience showed that after a single puncture of the hygroma with the evacuation of its contents (10 patients), relapse developed in all cases. After repeated puncture of the hygroma in 10 patients with evacuation of the contents and subsequent administration of 0.5 ml of betaspan solution, 6 of them did not relapse within 5–6 months, but 4 patients had a relapse in the nearest period (1–2 months). Of the 23 patients who underwent surgery to remove the hygroma, 15 of them had no relapses. In 8 patients in the postoperative period, recurrent hygroma occurred, which could be explained by the ineffectiveness of eliminating the communication zone between the hygroma and the joint.Conclusions. For the successful treatment of this disease, it is important to understand that for the occurrence and development of hygroma, its communication with the joint cavity or tendon vagina is of great importance. In the absence of a message, the successful use of puncture methods of treatment is possible. In the presence of such a message and its detection during preoperative examination, surgical treatment should be planned with mandatory ligation of the leg of the hygroma.

Synovial cysts of the pulp of the little finger in three elderly patients were shown by arthrography to arise from leakage of synovial fluid from the wrist joint into the ulnar bursa and thence into the flexor synovial sheath in the digit. Distant as well as local sources of the contents of synovial cysts should be considered when the local anatomy permits communication between a degenerate joint and an adjacent tendon sheath.

The OBJECTIVE was to study the course and results of treatment of lung abscesses in HIV-infected patients.METHODS AND MATERIALS. We analyzed the case histories of 199 patients with lung abscesses who treated in the Department of thoracic surgery of St. Petersburg Pokrovskaya Municipal Hospital in the period from 2012 to 2018. The 1st group included 121 HIV-infected patients, and the 2nd group – 78 patients with HIV-negative status.RESULTS. Patients from the 1st group were younger than patients from the 2nd group (p <0.05). Lung abscesses without sequestration were detected in 105 (86.8 %) patients in the 1st I group and 65 (83.3 %) in the 2nd group. Lung abscesses with sequestration (gangrenous abscesses) was diagnosed in 16 (13.2 %) HIV-infected and 13 (16.7 %) uninfected patients. There were no differences between surgical methods of treatment and outcomes (p>0.05). The mortality rate in the 1st group was 9.1 %, and in the 2nd – 12.8 %.CONCLUSION. General surgical methods for treating lung abscess are equally effective in patients with HIV-negative status and HIV-positive status. Lung abscesses in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients have a similar etiology, clinical symptomatology, courses and outcome.

There is currently no consensus on the etiopathogenetic nature of endometriosis. The causes of aggressive, progressive, infiltrative growth of endometrioid tissue also remain unclear. An important problem remains the high recurrence rate of endometriosis, despite the availability of modern drug and surgical methods of treatment. The study of the central signaling pathways and the search for new key molecules is of paramount importance for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, and is also an important step in the development of new strategies for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of endometriosis.

Epidemiological studies show an increase in the number of people with cancer. Bone metastases are a frequent manifestation of generalized cancer, because it is in malignant tumors of the spine more often than other bones of the skeleton becomes a target for metastasis. The article describes in detail the methods of diagnosis of spinal lesions in cancer pathology. Particular attention is paid to the scales reflecting the severity of the patient’s condition, the degree of spinal cord damage, the severity of pain in metastasis to the spine, the prognosis of survival in oncovertebrology and evaluation of the stability of the spine in metastatic lesions. Further, the paper presents non-radical (decompression, vertebroplasty) and radical (spondylectomy, corporectomy) surgical methods of treatment

The treatment of inflammatory diseases of the female genitalia has long been one of the most important tasks of the gynecologist. With the development of surgery, surgical methods of treatment began to be applied: exudates were removed, the uterus and inflamed appendages were extirpated, etc.; but the danger of surgical intervention on the one hand, and on the other - the severe consequences of removal of organs such as ovaries, especially in young women - forced gynecologists to spend much effort in discovering and improving non-operative methods of treatment of inflammatory diseases of the female genital parts. Among these methods, physical methods such as water, mud, light baths, massage, etc., as well as those related to electricity have long been prominent.

The author praises the Thure Brandt's method of treatment diseases of female genital organs and says that he has come to the development of this method to such perfection that new work in this area can only be directed at the discovery of the newest information on the physiology and pathology of the female genital apparatus, for the Thure Brandt's method to be shown to the indications for method and the reason for his success. It is also known that in case of uterine prolapse, in old and neglected cases, this method of raising the uterus and massage can give an amazingly quick and perfect result, in other cases it is not. Obviously, failure is the result of various anatomical relationships, and, according to the author, the bending of the uterus back and its side positions, where pessaries and surgical methods of treatment are more intelligent.

Purpose. Compare the clinical and radiological results of treatment of patients with spinal deformities operated on using the PSO method and corrective fusion in the lumbar spine. Materials and methods. Retrospective monocenter cohort study. The data of 42 patients were analyzed. PSO (group I) was performed in 12 patients; 30 patients had a combination of surgical methods (group II) with mandatory ventral corrective spinal fusion at levels L4-L5, L5-S1. Clinical and radiological parameters were evaluated during hospitalization and at least 1 year later. Results. Postoperative hospitalization in group I 32.5 7.4 days, 27.1 7.4 in group II (p = 0.558758). The duration of the operation in group I was 402.5 55.6 minutes, in group II 526.0 116.2 minutes (p = 0.001124); blood loss 1862.5 454.3 ml versus 1096.0 543.3 ml (p = 0.000171). In both groups, significantly improved clinical and radiological parameters after surgery and after 1 year (p 0.05). In group II, as compared with group I after surgery and more than 1 year: lower back pain according to VAS (p = 0.015424 and p = 0.015424); below ODI after 1 year was (p = 0.000001). In group I, compared with group II after surgery and after 1 year, SVA is less (p = 0.029879 and p = 0.000014), lumbar lordosis is higher (p = 0.045002 and p = 0.024120), LDI is restored more optimally (p = 0.000001 and p = 0.000002), the GAP is lower (p = 0.005845 and p = 0.002639). The ideal Russoly type is restored more often in patients of group II (p = 0,00032). Complications in group I were noted in 12 (100%) patients, in group II in 13 (43.3%) patients (p = 0.001). Conclusions. In multistep surgical treatment compared with PSO, the anterior corrective interbody fusion L4-L5, L5-S1 reliably better and more harmoniously restores the sagittal balance parameters, has significantly lower volume of intraoperative blood loss, fewer perioperative complications and significantly improves the quality of life of patients.
