INTRODUCTION Surgically important variations of the sectoral and segmental bile ducts of the right lobe of the liver appear in a significant proportion of patients. Frequency of the injuries to these ducts is not known as the ligature of small ducts may pass without major consequences. MATERIAL AND METHODS Over a 27 year period (1. Jan 1974-31. Dec 2001) along with 168 patients with benign biliary strictures of type I, II, III and IV according to Bismuth's classification, we treated 13 patients with operative sectoral or segmental bile duct injuries, four patients from our institution and nine patients transferred from elsewhere. The injury was recognized at original surgery in all four patients operated in our institution. Primary repair was performed in three patients, in two patients direct end-to-end repair overT-tube and in one patient with anastomosis between the injured duct and Roux-en-Y jejunal limb, while in one patient the injured duct was ligated. In no one of nine patients transferred from elsewhere the injury was recognized during original surgery. Four patients were sent with biliary peritonitis, another four patients with external biliary fistula and one patient for pain and fever due to liver abscess. RESULTS All three patients in whom the primary repair was performed had a quick and uneventful recovery and they stayed symptom-free so far. The patient in whom the injured duct was ligated died after series of complications. Four patients sent to us with biliary peritonitis were treated with relaparotomy, lavage and drainage and all developed external biliary fistula. Three of these patients had their fistula ceased spontaneously within few weeks, while in one patient the fistula didn't show signs of ceasing so that injured duct had to be anastomosed with Roux-en-Y jejunal limb. Two out of four patients sent for external biliary fistula had it ceased spontaneously, while in two patients anastomosis between duct and Roux-en-Y jejunal limb was necessary. The last 13th patient, who had sectoral duct severed and ligated was reoperated liver abscess drained and duct anastomosed with Roux-en-Y jejunal limb. That patient developed an anastomotic stricture a year later and he was successfully reoperated and stayed symptom-free so far. All 12 patients have been followed up from nine months to 27 years (average 9.2 years) and neither developed biliary symptoms. CONCLUSION We conclude that the management of these injuries depends upon the time of recognition of the lesion, size of the injured duct and of the type and stage of complications.

Mirizzi syndrome is a rare but serious complication of the gallstone disease. In 1948 Pablo Luis Mirizzi for the first time described the so called ‘functional hepatic syndrome in patients ‘, who had obstructing concretion in d. cysticus causing cholestasis in the general bile duct by external compression. The compression, process of inflammation and wall ischemia result in erosion of the tissue engaged and appearance of various complications – abscess of the gallbladder, perivesicalar abscess, cholecystoduodenal fistula, stricture of bile ducts, biliary fistula. Mirizzi syndrome is still a challenge before the surgeon because of the a change in the normal anatomy and the severe process of inflammation. Good knowledge of the problem is essential for the accurate diagnosis and treatment. The operative strategy has two main goals – provision of efficient passage of the gall and reliable restoration of the hepato-choledochus. Choosing the surgical tactics during the operative intervention is of foremost importance – cholecystectomy in type I and restoration of the integrity of the bile ducts by T-tube drainage, plastic surgery of the hepato-choledochus or bilio-digestive anastomoses in type II-IV. The good knowledge of the problem and anatomic variations keeps safe the surgical team form iatrogenic lesions of the bile ducts and contributes for favourable postoperative results.

ABSTRACT Liver abscess with biliary communication poses management problem if percutaneous drainage is performed. We report a case of large amoebic liver abscess (ALA) with jaundice. Prolonged high‑output bile drainage after percutaneous drainage of ALA showed suspicion of communication of abscess with intrahepatic bile ducts (biliary fistula). The same was managed successfully with endoscopic biliary stent placement with medical management.

Generalized biliary peritonitis is a serious intra-abdominal emergency. In this situation, recognition of the pathology and its treatment is straightforward and is usually associated with a good outcome. There are a few unusual causes of biliary peritonitis, of which rupture of the biliary tree is one.Liver abscess with biliary communication poses management problem if percutaneous drainage is performed. We describe a rare case of biliary peritonitis in amoebic liver abscess due to rupture of an intra hepatic biliary radical after insertion of pigtail catheterisation. Prolonged high‑output bile after percutaneous drainage of liver abscess resulted biliary peritonitis and after surgical drainage also suspicion of communication of abscess with intrahepatic bile ducts (biliary fistula). Unusual causes of peritonitis do interrupt our daily routine emergency surgical experience. Rapid recognition of the presence of peritonitis, adequate resuscitation, recognition of operative findings, establishment of biliary anatomy, and performance of a meticulous surgical procedure resulted in a good outcome.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of pathologies of the spinal dura is often unclear and their management controversial. OBJECTIVE: To classify spinal dural pathologies analogous to vascular aneurysms, present their symptoms and surgical results. METHODS: Among 1519 patients with spinal space-occupying lesions, 66 patients demonstrated dural pathologies. Neuroradiological and surgical features were reviewed and clinical data analyzed. RESULTS: Saccular dural diverticula (type I, n = 28) caused by defects of both dural layers, dissections between dural layers (type II, n = 29) due to defects of the inner layer, and dural ectasias (type III, n = 9) related to structural changes of the dura were distinguished. For all types, symptoms consisted of local pain followed by signs of radiculopathy or myelopathy, while one patient with dural ectasia presented a low-pressure syndrome and 10 patients with dural dissections additional spinal cord herniation. Type I and type II pathologies required occlusion of their dural defects via extradural (type I) or intradural (type II) approaches. For type III pathologies of the dural sac no surgery was recommended. Favorable results were obtained in all 14 patients with type I and 13 of 15 patients with type II pathologies undergoing surgery. CONCLUSION: The majority of dural pathologies involving root sleeves remain asymptomatic, while those of the dural sac commonly lead to pain and neurological symptoms. Type I and type II pathologies were treated with good long-term results occluding their dural defects, while ectasias of the dural sac (type III) were managed conservatively.

Anterior Cruciate

Objectives: Over the last years, arthroscopic primary repair of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has shown excellent results owing to appropriate patient selection (only repairing proximal ACL tears and good tissue quality), minimal invasive surgery (arthroscopy) and focus on early range of motion. Some surgeons have repaired proximal ACL tears without suture augmentation while others have used internal suture augmentation to reinforce and thus protect the repaired ligament during range of motion. No studies have yet compared the two surgical techniques. The objective of this study was to compare failure rates, reoperation rates and patient-reported outcomes of arthroscopic primary repair with versus without suture augmentation. Methods: A retrospective search for all patients treated with suture anchor arthroscopic primary ACL repair between April 2008 and June 2016 was performed. All patients with isolated proximal ACL tears (type I) were included. Since the development of internal suture augmentation, this reinforcement was added to the repaired ACLs. Minimum follow-up length was 1.0 years. Results: A total of 56 patients were included (mean age 33 years (range: 14 - 57), 59% male) of which 28 (50%) patients received additional suture augmentation. Mean follow-up was 2.3 years (range: 1.0-9.2). Six of all patients had reruptured their repaired ACL (10.7%), of which four underwent uncomplicated ACL reconstruction and two were treated conservatively. Four reruptures were initially treated with primary repair only (4/28, 14.3%) and two patients with additional suture augmentation (2/28, 7.1%; p = 0.431). During follow-up, three patients underwent reoperation (5.4%; two for medial meniscus tear (one in each group) and one for tibial suture anchor removal of the suture augmentation). Patient-reported outcomes have so far been collected in 20 patients without reruptures (currently collecting), with mean Lysholm score of 96, modified Cincinnati 94, SANE 93, pre-injury Tegner 6.7, postoperative Tegner 6.3 and subjective IKDC 91. Objective IKDC was A in 90%, B in 5%, C in 5%. Conclusion: In this study, the total failure rate of arthroscopic primary ACL repair was 10.7% and was lower with additional suture augmentation (7.1%) than primary repair alone (14.3%). Patients with failed ACL repair underwent uncomplicated primary ACL reconstruction. We recommend adding suture augmentation in high-risk patients (i.e. adolescents, ones with hyperlaxity, high contact sports), to protect the repaired ligament, especially during early range of motion. These data support treating type I proximal ACL tears with arthroscopic primary repair.

OBJECTIVE: Review long-term results of the modified cautery-assisted palatoplasty (mod CAPSO)/anterior palatoplasty for the treatment of mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN: Prospective series of 77 patients. All patients were >18 years old, type I Fujita, body mass index (BMI) < 33, Friedman clinical stage II, with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from 1.0 to 30.0. The mean follow-up time was 33.5 months. The procedure involved an anterior soft palatal advancement technique with or without removal of the tonsils. The procedure was done under general or local anesthesia. RESULTS: There were 69 men and eight women; the mean age was 39.3 years old; and mean BMI was 24.9 (range 20.7–26.8). There were 38 snorers and 39 OSA patients. The AHI improved in patients with OSA, 25.3 ± 12.6 to 11.0 ± 9.9 ( P < 0.05). The overall success rate for this OSA group was 71.8 percent (at mean 33.5 months). The mean snore scores (visual analog score) improved from 8.4 to 2.5 (for all 77 patients). Lowest oxygen saturation also improved in all OSA patients. Subjectively, all patients felt less tired. CONCLUSION: This technique has been shown to be effective in the management of patients with snoring and mild-moderate OSA.

Background: Radius-ulna is the most frequently fractured bone of the pectoral limb in dogs with high predisposition to distal fractures. The smaller size of the distal fragment and open physis restrict the use of rigid fracture fixation techniques in distal fractures of growing dogs. Titanium elastic nails (TENs) are recommended in medical practice to stabilize long bone fractures in children. There is paucity of literature on TENs for the repair of radius-ulna fractures in dogs. Methods: This clinical study enrolled 10 dogs (7 grey hound and one each of Crossbred, Pomerenarian and Siberian Husky) suffering from distal radius-ulna (6 transverse and 4 short oblique) fractures since a mean ± SD duration of 3.40±4.5 days. The mean ± SD age and body weight of the dogs was 12.60±6.45 months and 14.09±6.41 Kg, respectively. All except one fracture was stabilized with two TENs inserted into the medullary canal of radial bone in a normograde manner from distal to proximal end using open cranio-lateral surgical approach. Result: Majority fractures achieved satisfactory reduction (n=8), radiographically. Weight bearing scores on walking increased gradually from day 12 (1.62 ± 1.51) to 45th (2.57±1.51), day 60th (3.75±0.5) and day 90 (4.0±0). Five dogs had uneventful recovery whereas remaining had major (n=2) or minor (n=3) complications. The length of the operated bone was non-significantly lesser as compared to contralateral healthy bone on day 60. Goniometric assessment of carpal joint of operated limb showed restricted range of motion on day 12 that improved to the near normal as contralateral healthy limb on day 60. Long-term results showed full (9) and acceptable (1) functional outcome. In conclusions, the TENs technique is simple and less invasive alternative fixation technique for distal radius-ulna fractures in young and light weighing dogs. As per authors, this is the first report on the use of TENs for the management of radius-ulna fracture in dogs.

Number Of Patients

The number of patients with complicated forms of cholelithiasis of cholelithiasis is progressively growing. One of the complications of gallstone disease is Mirizzi syndrome (SM). The reason for the development of which is the spread of the inflammatory - destructive process from the gallbladder to the bile ducts with the formation of pressure ulcers in the common bile duct, as a result of which the formation of a cholecystobiliary fistula occurs, through which stones from the gallbladder enter the main bile ducts. The analysis of the surgical treatment of patients with cholelithiasis (GSD) treated in the UH NJSC "MUS" was carried out. There were 3842 patients in total, Patients were in the period from January 2012. to July 2018 The analysis revealed that of all these patients with gallstones, Mirizzi SM type III and IV syndrome was diagnosed in 25 (0.7%). In 14 (56%) patients with type III SM and type IV SM, 11 (44%). The main group consisted of 10 (40%) patients and 15 (60%) patients included in the control group. The main group completed: 1) In type III SM (only 4 (40%) patients). One patient underwent hepaticojejunostomy according to the clinic method (2017/0423.1). In 3 patients, cholecystohepaticocholedochoplasty was performed with U-shaped interrupted sutures on the drainage according to Vishnevsky (2017 / 0980.1); 2) In type IV SM (a total of 6 (60%) patients). 4 patients underwent hepaticojejunostomy according to the clinic method (2017/0423.1). In 2 patients, cholecystohepaticocholedochoplasty was performed with U-shaped interrupted sutures on the drainage according to Vishnevsky (2017 / 0980.1). The developed and tested methods of surgical treatment of Mirizzi syndrome of types III and IV make it possible to improve the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with this pathology. These methods of surgical treatment allow preserving the physiology of the bile outflow without postoperative complications typical for traditional hepaticojejunostomy (incompetence of the anastomotic sutures, stricture of hepaticojejunostomy).
