Objective. Improvement of the surgical treatment results in esophageal cancer. Маterials and methods. Results of surgical treatment of 43 patients, having cancer of middle and lower thirds of the esophagus, were analyzed. Lewis operation was performed in 38 patients, and Garlock operation – in 5. Circular suture stapler with second row of a П-like manual sutures was applied in 28 patients. In 15 patients anastomosis was formatted, using hand-sewn two-row suture. The method of anastomosing choice had depended upon local and general factors: the tumor localization, the esophageal wall changes in anastomotic site, degree of the water-electrolyte disorders, the protein balance, concurrent pathology. Prophylaxis of postoperative morbidity consisted of preoperative correction of laboratory indices, treatment of concurrent pathology, choice of the anastomosis formation method, postoperative intensive therapy. Results. Postoperative complications had occurred in 1 (2.3%) patient. Mostly frequent postoperative complication after resection for esophageal cancer constitute insufficiency of esophago-gastric anastomosis, which occurs under impact of general and local factors. General factors: disorders of the blood circulation, caused by cardiac insufficiency, hypoxia due to pulmonary insufficiency, coagulopathy, disorders of the protein and water-electrolyte metabolism. Reduction of influence of general factors on the postoperative morbidity occurrence was achieved using the intensive preoperative preparation conduction. Conclusion. The postoperative morbidity prevention turns effective while its accomplishment on all stages of treatment: during preoperative preparation, intraoperatively and postoperatively.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of bimanual surgery with anti-VEGF preparation of patients with severe forms of PDR complicated by traction retinal detachment, with intraoperative use of 3D visualization. Material and methods. Operated on 18 patients with a diagnosis of PDR complicated by traction retinal detachment. Of these, there were 7 patients with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes. There were 5 men and 13 women. The average age was 58 + -2 years. All patients underwent a three-port vitrectomy, using an additional light source, with preoperative preparation with anti-VEGF drugs, using bimanual technique and 3D visualization, using air tamponade. Results and its discussion. As a result of the study, it was found that the visual acuity before the treatment was 0.03 [0.01; 0.1], and 4-6 months after the surgical treatment, 0.3 [0.15; 0.5]. The performed statistical analysis made it possible to establish a statistically significant increase in visual acuity 4-6 months after the treatment. (p = 0.001) Achieved complete anatomical retinal fit. With increased visual acuity. There were 5 complications in the postoperative period. Recurrent hemophthalmos was diagnosed in 3 people, which required repeated surgical intervention. In 2 patients in the postoperative period, DMO developed, which required IVI biodegradable dexamethasone implant. Conclusion. Bimanual, surgical treatment of traction retinal detachments, in severe forms of PDLP, with preoperative preparation with anti-VEGF drugs, and the use of the Ngenuity ALCON 3D imaging system, is one of the effective methods of treatment in this group of patients, and is aimed at reducing both intra and postoperative complications. Key words: рroliferative diabetic retinopathy, vitrectomy, 3D imaging, bimanual surgery, anti-VEGF drugs.

Although conservative therapy remains the main treatment for duodenal ulcers, however, 20-30% of patients require surgical treatment. In recent years a new operative method - selective proximal vagotomy - has been introduced into the wide surgical practice of pyloroduodenal ulcers treatment. Its performance is connected with the decision on the surgeon's tactics concerning the ulcerous niche: should it be excised or left?

Abstract Background Esophageal cancer is the 8th most common cancer in the world. It is an lethal disease, responsible for almost 400.000 deaths by year. Surgical resection is considered the gold standard in esophageal cancer treatment, with a global 15–40% cure rate. In this study, the results of esophageal cancer surgical treatment at Brazilian National Cancer Institute, Abdominal-pelvic Surgical Section, is analyzed. Methods The medical records of 215 patients with esophageal cancer, treated with surgical resection (esophagectomy), between January 1999 and December 2015, were retrospectively studied. The endpoints analyzed in the study were: hospitalization time, operative complications and mortality, and overall survival. Results Esophageal cancer was predominant in male patients; median age was 58 years (27–78). Primary tumor location varied between 7,5 - 41 cm (median 32cm) and tumor extension 1 - 16cm (median 5cm). Median surgical time was 330 minutes (120–720); transhiatal esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction was the most used surgical approach. Tumors histopathological types were equaly distributed. ICU (Intensive Care Unit) stay median time was 5 days (1–87) and median hospitalization time was 15 days (5–166). Most common surgical complications were anastomotic leakage (25,5%) and pneumonia (20%), with a surgical morbidity rate of 61,8%. Surgical mortality rate was 12%, with 61% of these cases occuring in the 30 days after surgery. Median 2-year overall survival was 44,3 months. Conclusion Besides the high surgical morbidity, esophagectomy for esophageal cancer remains the standard treatment for patients with ressectable tumors and without clinical contraindications for surgery. Reduction of surgical mortality depends on rigorous patients selection, surgical team expertise and adequate perioperative and postoperative care.
