Abstract Background Postoperative colorectal anastomotic strictures are quite common. As such, many techniques have been available to address such a problem, one of which is endoscopic dilation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes following endoscopic dilation using a multidiameter balloon. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients with postoperative anastomotic stenosis treated with endoscopic dilation using a multidiameter balloon at our institution, in January 2005–December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed, excluding those with tumor recurrence. Perioperative factors, complications, and recurrence rates were analyzed. Results There were 40 patients, (22 males and 18 females, mean age 64.6 ± 10.7 years, range 33–84 years). The median follow-up period was 56 months (interquartile range 22.5–99 months). Only 1 complication occurred, micro-perforation due to guided wire injury, which was managed conservatively. Five (12.5%) patients developed restenosis and underwent repeat balloon dilation. None of the five recurrences required more aggressive management, such as redo anastomosis. Conclusions Endoscopic multidiameter balloon dilation is a safe and effective method for treating benign colorectal anastomotic strictures.

Background The short- and long-term results of balloon dilation therapy in Crohn's patients with non-anastomotic obstructive gastrointestinal lesions are investigated.Materials and methods Fifty-five patients with Crohn's disease who had obstructive gastrointestinal lesions were treated prospectively by endoscopic balloon dilation.Short-term results Eight of the initial dilations were unsuccessful giving no symptomatic relief (14.5%).Long-term results The subjects of the long-term prognosis were 40 cases followed up for more than 6 months (average 37 months) and their strictures were non-anastomotic in more than half (59%). Avoidance of surgery, was possible in 31 of 40 patients (78%). Surgery was avoided in 92%, 81% and 77% of patients after one, two, and three years, respectively (Kaplan–Meier's method). There was no difference in long-term outcome between anastomotic strictures and strictures in the absence of prior surgery.Conclusion Our results suggest that, (1) strictures in the absence of prior surgery might be treated in this way as well as anastomotic strictures; (2) if followed for a prolonged time period, more than 70% of patients, who have undergone balloon dilation for obstructive gastrointestinal Crohn's disease, may be able to avoid surgery.

ntroduction. Currently, total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is the standard surgical treatment for proximal gastric cancer at the resectable stages (I-III). The issue of advisability of splenectomy as a component of lymphadenectomy remains a controversial one, especially when the tumor is localized in the region of the body or cardiac region of the stomach.The aim of the study was to compare immediate and long-term outcomes, including the quality of life, between spleen preserving and spleen removing surgeries.Methods. The study included 363 patients with gastric cancer II-III stages, localized in the upper and/or the middle third of the stomach, who underwent surgery at the Voronezh Regional Clinical Oncology Hospital and the Voronezh Clinical Hospital of the Russian Railway-Medicine in 2015-2017. All patients were conditionally divided into 2 groups for comparative retrospective analysis. All patients of the first (experimental or spleen-preserved) group (144 patients) were performed R0 total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, including splenic hilar nodes (№ 10,11) removal without splenectomy. Patients of the second (control or splenectomy) group (219 patients) were performed R0 total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and prophylactic splenectomy (for splenic hilar nodes removal).Results. The average duration of the operation and the volume of blood loss did not differ in both groups. The incidence of early postoperative surgical complications was lower in the spleen-preserved group. Splenectomy was associated with more severe complications of class 4 and 5 according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Conclusion. Parameters of the 1- and 3-year overall survival rate did not differ in both groups. The results of the GSRS questionnaire were similar in both groups, excluding reflux-esophageal symptoms scale. The reflux scale demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant advantage of spleen preservation.

Aim:to improve the results of treating patients with anastomotic biliary strictures of the bile ducts after orthotopic liver transplantation.Materials and methods.This study is based on the results of the endoscopic treatment of 36 patients with biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation, who were admitted to the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine from December 2001 to December 2017. The endoscopic treatment program included diagnostic ERCP, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy (EPST), bilioduodenal stenting, nasobiliary drainage, balloon dilatation.Results.Against the background of the staged endoscopic treatment, the stable remission of anastomotic biliary strictures (ABS) was achieved in 17 (53.1 %) patients, with 4 of them (12.5 %) showing a successfully resolved insufficiency of biliobiliary anastomosis (BBA). The average duration of endoscopic treatment was 12 ± 1.9 months. The number of ERCPs performed for each patient varied from 1 to 12 and averaged 3. In the majority of patients (75 %) who received one or more courses of endoscopic treatment, a successful correction of anastomotic strictures with no recurrence within 2–5 years was achieved.Conclusion.Staged endoscopic treatment is established to be highly effective in patients with anastomotic biliary strictures and the insufficiency of bilobiliary anastomoses occurred after orthotopic liver transplantation. Such a treatment allows good long-term results to be achieved by a minimally invasive method.

  Background. Aortic arch hypoplasia is a congenital anomaly of the development of the aortic arch characterized by ground. Aortic arch hypoplasia is a congenital anomaly of the development of the aortic arch characterized by hemodynamically significant narrowing of one or more segments of the aortic arch. Aortic arch hypoplasia combined ynamically significant narrowing of one or more segments of the aortic arch. Aortic arch hypop with ventricular septal defect (VSD) characterizes a special category of children who are in serious condition and need ptal defect (VSD) characterizes a special category immediate surgery. Despite the improvement in the results of surgical treatment of this abnormality in recent years, the gery. Despite the imp issue of choosing treatment tactics remains debatable. g The aim. To analyze immediate and long-term results of one-stage aortic arch hypoplasia repair and VSD repair in infants. Materials and methods. From 2011 to 2019, 55 infants underwent simultaneous aortic arch hypoplasia repair in ypoplasia rep conjunction with VSD repair at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the NAMS of Ukraine and junction with VSD repair at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery Ukrainian Children’s Cardiac Center. There were 30 (55%) male patients and 25 (45%) female patients. The mean age of (55%) male patients and 25 (45%) female patients. The mean ag the patients was 1.3 ± 1.2 months (from 0.1 to 9.1 months), the average body weight was 3.9 ± 1.3 kg (from 2.4 to 8.7 patients was 1.3 ± 1.2 months (from 0.1 to 9.1 months), the average body weight was 3.9 ± 1.3 kg ( kg). The mean body surface area was 0.27 ± 0.1 m2. Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion was performed in 23 (42%) g). The mean body patients during the aortic arch reconstruction. g Results.The hospital mortality rate was 1.8% (n = 1). The average duration of artificial circulation was 108.5 ± 38.6 minpital mortality rate was 1.8% (n = 1). The averag utes (from 55 to 204 minutes), aortic clamping time was 56.9 ± 36.4 minutes (from 21 to 126 minutes), the time of selec(from 55 to 204 minutes), aortic clamping time was 56.9 ± 36.4 minutes (from 21 to 126 minutes) tive cerebral perfusion was 26.4 ± 11.5 minutes (14 to 49 minutes). In eight patients (14.5%) the sternum was spread perfusion was 26.4 ± 11.5 minutes (14 to 49 minutes). In eight patients (14.5%) the sternum was sp apart in the early postoperative period. Echocardiography before discharge revealed the average pressure gradient at the part in the early postoperative period. Echocardiograp site of plasticity of the aortic arch of 20.5 ± 14.9 mm Hg. plasticity of the aortic arch of 20.5 ± 14.9 mm Hg. The mean long-term follow-up was 2.6 ± 2.1 years (from two months to 8.1 years). There were no fatal cases in the reg-term follow-up was 2.6 ± 2.1 years (from two months to 8.1 years) mote period. In 5 (9.1%) patients aortic arch restenosis occurred in the postoperative period; it was successfully treated period. In 5 (9.1%) patients aortic arch restenosis occurred in the postoperative period; it was successfully endovascularly by balloon dilation in 3 patients, the other 2 of them underwent repeated aortic arch repair. Long-term y by balloon dilation in 3 patients, the other 2 of them underwent repeated aortic arch repair. Long follow-up of other patients showed good results with respect to the pressure gradient at the aortic arch. There were p of other patients showed good results with respect to the pressure g no hemodynamically significant gradient after VSD closure. There were no neurological complications in the long-term follow-up. p Conclusions. One-stage complete repair is an effective and safe treatment for infants which provides good immedige complete repair is an effective and safe treatment for infants which provides g ate and long-term results. This surgical strategy may be an acceptable alternative to two-stage surgical treatment of this g complex pathology.
