Introduction Otosclerosis is a progressive osteodystrophic disease of the osseous capsule of the labyrinth which leads to the fixation of the stapes and partial deafness. The progressive hearing loss followed by ear tingling - tinitus and vertigo is of great importance for this disease. The aim of the work was to determine the changes of clinical symptomatology before and after the operative treatment of otosceloris. Material and methods The study included 32 subjects between 25 and 60 years of age affected by otosclerosis who had undergone surgical treatment at the VMA (Military Medical Academy) Clinic, Department of Otolaryngology in Belgrade. Besides the clinical examination and detailed case history, audiometry and tympanometry examinations were performed. During the postoperative period the clinical symptomatology was evaluated and audiometry examinations were performed in order to determine the effect of the surgical intervention. Results Of the total number of 32 subjects, partial deafness was present in all of them before the operation, whereas tinitus, vertiginous disturbances and otalgia were found in a certain number of the subjects. During the postoperative period a partial recovery was found in a larger number of the subjects in relation to the total hearing recovery. During the postoperative period tinitus of lower intensity was found in a greater number of the subjects, whereas the number of those without tinitus was smaller. The problem of vertiginous disturbances as well as otalgia were not found during the postoperative period. Conclusion By following the changes of the clinical symptomatology we came to the conclusion that surgical treatment of otosclerosis results in the reduction and disappearance of subjective disturbances, tinitus, vertigo and otalgia and leads to the partial or complete hearing recovery.

Introduction. Otosclerosis is an osteodystrophy disease of the bony labyrinth of the ear which leads to stapes fixation and to bradyecoia of a conductive type. The microsurgical treatment by the use of a stapes prosthesis provides hearing improvement and a reduction or disappearing of tinnitus. The aim of our study was to determine the hearing condition and tinnitus before and after the treatment of otosclerosis. Material and methods. A hundred patients with otosclerosis, aged 20 to 70, were surgically treated at the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic and the Functional Diagnostics, Military Medical Academy, Belgrade. After the treatment, the audiometric examinations were performed in order to assess the hearing condition and tinnitus was assessed by a questionnaire. The subjective assessment of tinnitus was ranged as present, reduced or absent. Results. Before the treatment, hearing impairment was present in all the patients, while tinnitus was found in 91% of them. One year following the surgical treatment hearing improvement was found in 96% of the patients, and tinnitus cessation in 89% of them. Conclusion. The surgical treatment can result in hearing improvement and cessation or reduction of tinnitus.

Background/Aim. Esotropia is the most common manifestation form of strabism accompanied by refraction deviations and amblyopia. The aim of this prospective study was to present the outcomes of surgical treatment of esotropia in children and adolescents. Methods. Within the period from January 1st 2006 to February 1st 2007 at the Clinic for Ophtalmology, Military Medical Academy, Belgrade a total of 25 patients with esotropia (34 eyes) and previously corrected refraction anomaly and treated amblyopia were operated on. The patients were 4-19-year of age. All of the patients were submitted to a complete ophtalmologic and orthoptic examination prior to the surgery, and a month, three months and six months after the surgery. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia. Out of the total number of the patients nine were operated on both eyes, while 16 patients on one eye with amblyopia or frequent esodeviation. Nine patients were submitted to retroposition of the inner straight muscle, two to myectomy of the outer straight muscle, while in 14 of the patients a combination of retroposition and myectomy was performed. The patients were divided into three groups according to the preoperative angle at the distance and followed-up accordingly after the surgery. Deviation angle at the distance in the group I was 18-25 DP, in the group II 26-35 PD, while in the group III it was 36-60 PD. Results. The most numerous, group I (12 patients; 48%), a month following the surgery showed angle reduction by 55.58%, after three months 63.25%, and after six months 63.92%. The group II consisted of 8 patients (32%) showed angle reduction by 70.75% a month following the surgery, by 76% after three months, and by 79.12% after six months. The group III (5 patients; 20%) showed angle reduction by 72.20% a month following the surgery, 79.20 after three months, and 80.12% after six months following the surgery. Conclusion. The best postoperative outcomes after a month, three and six months were obtained in the group of patients with the highest esodeviation angle at the distance solved by the surgery on both eyes. Timely surgical treatment befell into major precondition for developing and maintaining the elements of binocular vision in the operated on patients. .

Aneurysm Repair

EVAR (endovascular aneurism repair) is the preferred method for the surgical treatment of ananeurysm. The advantage of this type of surgical intervention is that a smaller number of postoperative complications will occur. The main diagnostic tasks for patients after EVAR are to determine the size of the aneurysmal sac, detection of an endoleak, detection of the endoprosthesis migration and the deformation of the stent graft itself. Conclusion: early detection of complications in the postoperative period remains the main problem for monitoring patients after EVAR. Duplex scanning is a safe, non-invasive and effective method of measuring the size of an aneurysmal sac and detecting possible complications after EVAR.

Incidence and pattern of disturbed sensitivity in the zone of surgical intervention was studied in 24 patients with clavicle fractures. Traumatic damage of supraclavicular nerve (not related to surgery) was observed only in 1 case. Disturbance of sensitivity in the zone of surgical intervention was noted in 21 (87.5%) patients. Mean area of anesthesia made up 44.5±29.3 cm2 (from 8.0 to 125.5 cm2). That complication developed at both horizontal and vertical surgical approaches. Intraoperatively supraclavicular nerves were visualized and preserved in 6 patients however disturbed sensitivity in early postoperative period was observed in 4 cases. Preventive isolation of supraclavicular nerves does not always ensure the preservation of sensitivity in early postoperative period.

Cleft Foot

Cleft foot is a rare congenital malformation characterized by a central conical defect extending from the periphery of the foot towards the tarsus, affecting one or more central rays. Surgical intervention should be attempted at a very early age to prevent further pathological adaptations. The authors present the case of an adult woman admitted with painful callosities on the feet and difficulty selecting shoes. She was diagnosed with cleft foot and submitted to surgical treatment. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was very satisfied with the results of the surgery. This is only the second reported case of surgical management of cleft foot in an adult patient, and the first to describe the use of internal fixation.

The relevance of the work is determined by the necessity to study markers of coagulation system of blood and hemocoagulation disorders in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and comorbid diabetes mellitus in different stages of postoperative period. Aim. To determine the interrelation between markers of system of hemostasis and signs of development of intravascular blood coagulation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and comorbid diabetes mellitus (TB-DM) depending on the volume of surgical intervention on the respiratory organs. Materials and Methods. The extent of changes of markers of the system of hemostasis was determined in 89 patients with TB-DM before and after surgical treatment. Parameters of coagulation system of blood: concentration of fibrinogen, the level of soluble fibrin-monomer complexes, compensatory potentials by the level of fibrinolysis, activity of fibrinolytic system and of anticoagulation system (antithrombin III) were determined; parameters of prothrombin activity were studied. Besides, operation material of lungs was prepared for morphological examination. Results. A general tendency to increase in the parameters of hypercoagulation syndrome was identified in all the study groups starting from the 3rd-5th day and reaching maximum on the 7th-10th and 14th-17th days of the postoperative period, with compensatory activation of fibrin-stabilizing factor and of fibrinolytic system. Changes in the markers of hemostasis were most prominent in the group of patients after lobectomy. Microthrombotic lesions of the vessels of pulmonary microcirculation with partial or complete obturation of the lumen were morphologically visualized. Conclusion. On the basis of the data obtained a conclusion can be made about the existence of pronounced hypercoagulation syndrome with phenomena of intravascular coagulation of blood in this category of patients, which evidently requires timely prevention and treatment of thromboembolic complications. The results obtained may be used for development of measures aimed at prevention of hemocoagulation complications in patients with TB-DM after the conducted surgical treatment.

A pronounced inflammatory process from the anterior and posterior parts of the eye may occur, as a complications after laser coagulation in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), in which there is a need for surgical treatment. Purpose. To determine the optimal tactics for the treatment of uveal complications of laser coagulation in ROP. Material and methods. For 2014-2020 we examined and performed surgical intervention in 21 children with uveal complications after laser coagulation (27 eyes), Most of the children were deeply premature (born at 24-26 weeks of gestation) with a birth weight of 500 g to 900 g with concomitant pathology from the central nervous system. Сomplicated cataracts developed for all children. All children underwent surgical treatment: reconstruction of the anterior chamber, microinvasive cataract extraction, vitrectomy (if necessary, schvartectomy). A single surgical intervention was performed on 24 eyes. In 3 eyes with a post-aggressive form of ROP and a history of sepsis, reoperative treatment was required. All children had no primary IOL implantation. IOL implantation was performed in one childe at an older age. Results. As a result of the treatment, in 89% of cases (24 eyes), there was a complete relief of the inflammatory process and restoration of the transparency of the media after a single surgical intervention. In childe who underwent secondary IOL implantation in the long term, there was a complicated course of early postoperative period and repeated reconstructive surgery required. Conclusions. Uveal complications after laser coagulation of the retina for ROP are observed mainly in children born in early gestation (24-26 weeks) with low birth weight (less than 1000 g). When carrying out the surgical treatment of uveal complications - cataract extraction, which has developed as a result of laser coagulation for ROP, vitrectomy is mandatory, and, if necessary, schwartectomy. When deciding on the secondary implantation of IOLs, it is necessary to take into account the high probability of an unfavorable course of the postoperative period in children with previous uveitis after laser treatment for retinopathy and prematurity. Key words: retinopathy of prematurity, uveal complications, cataract.

Background/Aim. Tympanosclerosis is a sequela of inflammation of the middle ear usually causing conductive hearing loss. The aim of the study was to determine the significance of tympanosclerotic plaques localization in the middle ear and their morphological and histological characteristics for surgical treatment outcome. Methods. This retrospective study included a total of 73 patients operated on for tympanosclerosis in the Clinic for Otorhinolaryngology, Military Medical Academy (MMA) in a period 1996-2010. The results of surgical treatment as well as the last audiometry findings were analyzed. considering follow-up periods of 6 months to 8 years. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to tympanosclerotic plaques localization in the middle ear and the classification suggested by Wieling and Kerr. The patients were also divided based on intraoperatively noticed morphological characteristics of tympanosclerotic plaques, while the third division was done as per histological findings. Surgical success was assessed using the suggestions of the Japan Otological Society. Results. The analyzed results showed the surgical success especially in the group II according to Wieling and Kerr, while histological findings had no impact on the outcome of the surgery. Conclusion. Surgical treatment has good results especially in patients with the mobile stapes. Results are satisfactory in other localizations, while various morphological and histological characteristics do not have impact on the surgery outcome.
