scholarly journals Surgical tactics for victims of gunshot wounds of the diaphragm specialized stage of medical care in conditions of a modern armed conflict

Introduction. The diaphragm gunshot wounds are serious combat injuries. The main functions of the diaphragm are to change the intra-abdominal pressure and the outflow of lymph and blood from the abdominal cavity due to the constant contraction and relaxation. Therefore, when it is injured at the same time with a powerful painful impulse, cardiopulmonary disorders quickly arise. Purpose: To improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with gunshot wounds through the introduction of new video endoscopic technologies at the stage of specialized surgical care. Materials and methods. The article analyzes the features of specialized surgical care in 64 patients with gunshot wounds who were treated at the surgical clinic of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Northern Region (III level of medical care). New minimally invasive methods are proposed to improve the outcomes of surgical treatment of victims with diaphragm gunshot wounds at level III of health care delivery. Results. Thus, the use of video thoracoscopic technique in the surgical treatment of the diaphragm wound and its suturing in the proposed method allowed to improve the results of treatment by increasing the average value of diaphragmatic excursion in deep breath in the main group to 3.73 ± 0.31 cm, whereas in the comparison group 2.21 ± 0.38 cm. The severity of the pain syndrome on the of Visual Аnalogue Scale 5 days after surgical treatment was 5.2 ± 2.3 points in the injured main group, 6.7 ± 2.1 points in the comparison group. The ratio of vital lung capacity to the required vital lung capacity in the main group was 75.3 ± 2.2%, in the comparison group 64.1 ± 1.7%. Conclusions. The use of video thoracoscopy increases the efficiency of the diagnosis of gunshot wounds of the diaphragm. The use of laser imaging and fluorescence diagnosis of diaphragm wounds ensure the adequacy of the removal of paravulary necrotic tissues. The suturing of the wounds in accordance with the anatomical and functional structure of the diaphragm with the use of plaques improves the immediate postoperative results of surgical treatment.

Objective. To optimize the tactics of surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum, including with bowel involvement. Patients and methods. The study included 122 patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum, who underwent surgical interventions of different volumes using laparoscopy. The patients were divided into a main group and a comparison group. The main group consisted of 92 patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum who underwent surgical treatment using the original technique of systematic approach; the comparison group consisted of 30 patients who were operated using the generally accepted technique. Results. There was a statistically significant decrease in the operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, as well as more effective relief of dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, less complications and relapses in the main group compared to the comparison group. In addition, it was found that the combination of three symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain increase the likelihood of deep infiltrating endometriosis up to 93%. Conclusion. Based on the results obtained, the proposed method of surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis is more efficient and safer in comparison with the generally accepted technique, which can be considered as a valid reason for its wide introduction into clinical practice.

Relevance. The article is devoted to the problem of diagnosis and treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis, which remains one of the most common surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity and accounts for 33.2% of the total number of patients with acute pancreatitis. Objective of the work is to improve the diagnosis and results of surgical treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis of biliary etiology. Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 264 patients with acute pancreatitis of biliary etiology are analyzed. Operative treatment was applied in 92 (34,8 %) patients: endoscopic operations were performed in 44 patients (16,7 %). Thus, in 10 (3,8 %) patients, endoscopic papilloprotectomy was performed with the auditory of the duct system and the extraction of concrements. In other cases, organo-preserving intervention was performed without disturbing the morphofunctional integrity of the sphincter apparatus of the duct system: the cannulation in 6 (2,3%) patients, mechanical (balloon) in 5 (1,9 %) cases, pharmacological (myogenic antispasmodic) dilatation of distal duct and a large duodenal papilla in 11 (4,2 %) patients. In residual choledocholithiasis, a technique of papillotomy under the control of choledochoscopy was proposed – 12 (4,54 %) patients. A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the treatment of patients who used the "open" (comparative group) and noninvasive endoscopic interventions in the early disease (the main group) was performed. Results. So in the main group the length of stay in the hospital was 12±3,2 days, respectively, in the comparison group – 26±4,3 days. In 42 (95,4 %) patients who had undergone endoscopic surgery, a positive clinical effect, a rapid regress of the symptoms of acute pancreatitis was achieved. In two (4,5 %) patients in the main group, the course was complicated by the development of the abscess of the stuffing box, and puncture under ultrasound control was performed. In patients of the comparison group complications arose in 5 (41,6 %) patients, it is noteworthy that all of them had undergone operative interventions, which were limited only to the rehabilitation and drainage of the abdominal cavity, a stuffing box bag. The mortality rate among unopposed was 1,2 % (2 patients), and among the operated – 11,9 % (11 patients). Among prooperated patients who died, 81,8 % (9 people) were elderly patients. Conclusions. The use of minimally invasive endoscopic interventions in the early phase of the disease reduces the length of stay of patients in the hospital from 26±4,3 days (comparison group) to 12 3,2 days (main group) and the number of complications occurring by 37,1 % (P <0, 05). Application of the proposed method of papillotomy under the control of choledochoscopy makes it possible to reduce the risk of perforation of the wall of the duodenum with the development of peritonitis or retroperitoneal phlegmon by 1,2 % (P <0,05).

Building a modern system of rehabilitation of servicemen in Ukraine is an integral part of providing medical care in armed conflict. Rehabilitation of servicemen after gunshot wounds with soft tissue defects of the lower extremities is a common but difficult problem for surgical and rehabilitation teams. The process of rehabilitation requires the implementation of certain methodological provisions. At present, medical care for servicemen is a four-levels’ one. Rehabilitation service is provided at the third and fourth levels of medical care. The aim of the study was to improve the quality of medical care for servicemen after gunshot wounds with soft tissue defects of the lower extremities by introducing a system of staged rehabilitation. Organizational and methodological bases of the system of staged rehabilitation of wounded servicemen with soft tissue defects at different levels of medical care have been developed. Two models of rehabilitation depending on the severity of the injury and the tactics of surgical treatment are proposed. The division of the stage of early sanatorium rehabilitation for the wounded with severe soft tissue injuries depending on the stage of surgical treatment and the formation of a "skin patch" is justified. The introduction of the proposed models of rehabilitation of wounded with soft tissue defects in the practice of early sanatorium rehabilitation will provide increasing of medical care quality.

Despite a decrease in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Russian Federation in recent years, among the newly diagnosed patients there remains a significant proportion of patients with bacterial excretion and destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. In patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis, surgical treatment is often the only possible method for saving lives. We studied the results of extrapleural posterosuperior thoracoplasty in 42 patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis. The comparison group consisted of 30 patients who received medicamentous therapy. The mortality rate for 3 years of follow-up in the conservative treatment group was 36.7%, in the surgical treatment group it was 23.8%, p = 0.237. Among patients with more than 2 years of disease experience, mortality was 45% in the main group, 88% in the comparison group, p = 0.070. In the absence of drug resistance, mortality in the main group was 4%, that in the comparison group – 14.2%, p = 0.283. Mortality in individuals with normal body weight was lower in the group of patients who underwent thoracoplasty than in the comparison group: 17.6% vs. 33.3% (p = 0.202). Among those who did not achieve sputum negative reaction, mortality was lower, and passing to the 3rd group of dispensary care was more common in the surgical treatment group – 41.7% vs. 71.4% (p = 0.077) and 33.3% vs. 21.4% (p = 0.426). Among patients with drug resistance or low body weight or unachieved sputum negative reaction, mortality rates were comparable in both groups. Thus, thoracoplasty, in comparison with conservative therapy, makes it possible to improve treatment results in patients regardless of the length of the disease in groups with Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive process, with normal body weight, with preservation of elimination of bacilli. The effectiveness of thoracoplasty decreases in patients with an increase in the disease duration.

Purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with purulent-septic lesion of the liver substantiating the indication for resection method use. Material and methods. The work is based on a comparative analysis of the results of examination and treatment of 64 patients aged 10 to 81 years old, with chronic liver abscesses in the department of surgery and liver transplantation during the 1995–2016 periods. According to the tasks of the study patients are divided into two groups. In 30 (46,8%) patients (the study group), various types of anatomical resection of the liver with a purulent lesion were performed without its dissection during the operation; in 34 (53,2%) patients (group of comparison) they performed the disclosure, sanation, drainage of purulent cavity. The majority of patients with chronic liver abscesses treated the abscess with a puncture or drainage method under the control of ultrasound in other medical institutions of Ukraine. Results. The results of diagnosis and treatment of 64 patients for chronic liver abscesses from 1995 to 2016 are analyzed. In the study group, the patients performed anatomical resection of the liver, in the comparison group – standard surgical interventions – the disclosure and drainage of the abscess of the liver. The duration of antibiotic therapy after surgery in the comparison group is significantly higher than in the study group, respectively, 22 ± 3,4 and 5,75 ± 1,6 days; p < 0,001. Second-line antibacterial drugs after draining operations were used more often (p < 0,001) than after resection interventions, respectively, in 94,1 and 6,6% of cases. The duration of treatment of patients in the hospital after surgery in the study group was less than in the comparison group, according to 15,1 ± 0,7 and 27,3 ± 3,05 days; total 25,9 ± 1,4 and 45,7 ± 3,45 days (p < 0,001). After drainage operations, drainages from the abdominal cavity were removed later than after resection interventions, respectively, 17,1 ± 2,8 and 6,35 ± 1,1 days (p < 0,001), through. Conclusion. Resection for chronic purulentseptic lesions of the liver is the priority methods of surgical treatment. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to conclude that resection technologies contribute to the rapid normalization of physical and social rehabilitation of patients with septic liver damage. Keywords: liver abscess, liver resection, chronic, purulent-septic.

The rapid progress of obesity surgery dictates the necessity to study the quality of life of patients after bariatric procedures. The aim of the study is to assess the dynamics of quality of life of patients with morbid obesity after biliopancreatic diversion in the modification of Hess-Marceau and the sleeve gastrectomy in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of the specified category of patients. The results of surgical treatment of 205 patients with morbid obesity who performed sleeve gastrectomy (main group — 105 patients) or biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau (comparison group — 100 patients) were analyzed. The study of the dynamics of quality of life of patients was performed in according the Moorehead-Ardelt II method. Statistical data processing was performed using the methods of variational and descriptive statistic using Statistica 6.0 statistical analysis package. Installed that biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau and sleeve gastrectomy allowed to significantly improve the quality of life of patients with an increase of the quality of life index with -1.5±0.7 in the comparison group and -1.6±0,6 in the main group up to 1.8±0.3 and 2.0±0.4 respectively (p<0.05 compared to pre-operative data) 60 months after surgery. A more pronounced positive dynamics of quality of life in patients of the main group in the time interval of 12–24 months after the operation was achieved due to the absence of severe late metabolic complications and undesirable side effects of biliopancreatic diversion and laparoscopic access for sleeve gastrectomy in 54.3% of patients. Thus, the quality of life of patients with morbid obesity before performing bariatric surgery is critically low and significantly improved after biliopancreatic diversion by Hess-Marceau as well as sleeve gastrectomy. The impact of bariatric surgery on the duration and quality of life of patients requires further multicenter randomized trials.

Aim. To improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with bacterial abscesses of the liver. Methods. During the period from 2000 to 2010 treated were 118 patients with bacterial liver abscesses, 75 men and 43 women aged from 18 to 80 years (mean age 52.1 years). Management of the patients was based on the developed algorithm of diagnosis and treatment of liver abscesses. Two groups of patients were formed: the main group (treatment consisted of percutaneous puncture and drainage of the abscesses under ultrasound guidance) - 94 patients, the comparison group - 24 patients. In the comparison group surgical interventions were performed using the transabdominal access: laparotomy, opening and drainage of the abscess (18 patients), hepatic resection (3 patients), left-sided hemihepatectomy (2 patients), right-sided hemihepatectomy (1 patient). Results. In the patients of the comparison group the following early postoperative complications developed: wound infection - 4, intra-abdominal hemorrhage - 1, bile leakage - 1, abscesses of the abdominal cavity - 2, exudative pleuritis - 2, pneumonia - 3 cases. The average duration of patient hospitalization was 19.5±1.6 bed-days. In the main group the average duration of patient hospitalization was 9.2±±0.6 bed-days. Early postoperative complications in patients of the main group included: intra-abdominal hemorrhage - 1, bile leakage - 1, abscesses of the abdominal cavity - 1, exudative pleuritis - 2, pneumonia - 2 cases. There were no deaths in either of the groups. Conclusion. Puncture and drainage of bacterial liver abscesses under ultrasound guidance is an effective method of treatment that makes it possible to reduce the number of abdominal operations, reduce the number of postoperative complications and shorten the hospital stay.
