Introduction. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of patients diagnosed with epididymal cysts (EC). A number of methods have been proposed for their treatment – open surgical interventions, aspiration of cyst contents, sclerotherapy, epididymal cystectomy. In the literature, there are separate works in which attempts were made to study the use of sclerotherapy in the treatment of EC. However, the presented messages are single, there are no data of comparative studies of the use of various methods of treatment of this pathology. The aim of the study was to study the clinical efficacy of sclerotherapy in the treatment of epididymal cysts in terms of long-term indicators. Aim – to study the clinical efficacy of sclerotherapy in the treatment of EC in terms of long-term indicators. Materials and methods. 82 patients with EC aged 18 to 45 years were included in 2 groups: in the treatment of 47 patients in the comparison group, a standard approach was used, in the treatment of 36 patients in the main group, the method of EC sclerotherapy was used. EC sclerotherapy included anesthesia, aspiration of the cyst contents and injection of sclerosant, under ultrasound guidance, puncture of the epididymal cyst was performed, its contents were evacuated, then sclerosant (ethoxysclerol 1% – 2.5 ml) was injected into the cyst cavity with an exposure of 5 min. Results. It was found that during sclerotherapy in the treatment of EC in patients of the main group after the treatment, the dynamics of spermogram indices was more favorable than in the comparison group. In the long-term period (after 6-12 months), these patients had significantly higher levels of ejaculate volume and sperm count, the rate of movement of motile spermatozoa and the proportion of progressively motile spermatozoa than in the comparison group. The use of the sclerosing method increases the clinical efficacy of EC treatment, while the frequency of reproductive events (pregnancy in female partners of patients who underwent sclerotherapy) is 2.7 times higher than in the group where standard surgery was performed. Discussion. Over the past two decades, different authors have proposed different types of sclerosing substances. A number of studies are presented in the literature, the results of which have demonstrated the effectiveness of aspiration and sclerotherapy in the treatment of benign scrotal cysts. A sufficiently high efficiency of EC sclerotherapy was shown. We also found that the use of the sclerotherapy method increases the clinical effectiveness of EC treatment, while the frequency of reproductive events significantly increases. Conclusion. Sclerotherapy is an effective and safe treatment for obstructive azoospermia caused by EC.

Background. In destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in the presence of drug resistance of mycobacteria, one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of therapy is the use of collapse therapeutic techniques in various modifications. Purpose of the study: to develop and substantiate an algorithm for complex treatment of destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, using artificial pneumothorax (AP). Material and methods: A cohort of 84 people with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis was formed. It was divided into two groups: 42 patients in the main group (chemotherapy (ChT) + AP) and 42 in the comparison group (ChT). Results: an algorithm for the treatment of patients with destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis was formulated. Within a period of up to 6 months, abacillation was achieved in 61.9% of cases in the main group (MG), and in 18.9% (p <0.05) in the comparison group (CG). By the 10th month of treatment, the closure of decay cavities was achieved in 78.7% of cases in the MG and in 42.8% (p <0.05) in the CG. By 12 months the closure of decay cavities was observed in 92.1 and 52.4% of cases respectively (p <0.05). Conclusions: The use of the algorithm for the complex treatment of destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis makes it possible to achieve abacillation at an earlier time (up to 6 months - in 61.9%). It also allows to increase the frequency of cavity closure by 39.6% as well as achieve an increase in clinical cure (according to long-term results of treatment) by 23.8% and a decrease in the amplification of drug resistance and mortality by 14.3% and 11.9% correspondingly.

RELEVANCE. The dependency results of draining operations on the efficcacy of drainig of ductal system of the pancreas and adequate outflow of the pancreatic juce through anastomosis are undoubtful, therefore the development of new techniques of longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy (LPJ) extending area of anastomosis is an actual challenge.AIM OF STUDY. To compare the immediate and long-term results of longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy with the expansion of the area of anastomosis in patients with chronic pancreatitis.MATERIAL AND METHODS. We analysed immediate and long-term results of LPJ in 58 patients with chronic pancreatitis with impaired patency of the major pancreatic duct (MPD) without the head enlargement.RESULTS. All patients were divided into two groups: comparison group ( n=26, operated up to 2008 ) and main group (n=32, operated stumps during the MPD diastasis and posterior pancreatic surface (n=3) into anastomosis, with resection of the anterior pancreatic surface in the form of triangular fragments (n=11), with circulation of the small intestine loop during the recovery phase (n=19). The original LPJ in the study group of patients did not lengthened the surgery (160 [135, 185]) and intraoperative blood loss (265 [175, 340]). In the main group of patients there was no postoperative complications and fatal outcomes, but the average duration postoperative hospital treatment (18 [16; 20.5]) exceeded some data of foreign and domestic authors. Pain within 5 years after surgery in patients of the main group exceeded 26.6% and the appearance of diarrheal syndrome with dependance from reception of enzyme preparations was twice lower than in patients og the comparison group. According to questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30, 5 years after surgery statistically significant differences between groups in terms of scales CF, NV, DY (p=0.03, 0.02, 0.006 respectively), indicating the advantage of intervention performed in the mail group.CONCLUSIONS. 1. An indication for longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy in chronic pancreatitis is impaired patency of the main pancreatic duct in the absence of an increase and inflammatory mass in the pancreatic head.2. The width of the main pancreatic duct is less than 5 mm and the presence of diastasis between its proximal and distal stumps with the posterior surface of the pancreas preserved, is not a reason for refusing longitudinal pancreatic jujunostomy in favor of the resection method.3. The expansion of pancreatojejunal anastomosis when performing longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy can improve the immediate and longterm results of surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis.

Medical, social and economic relevance of inflammatory diseases of the woman's reproductive organs requires a very careful attitude to the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The number of patients with genital infections and inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs can takes the first place in structure of gynecological morbidity, and is 60.4-65.0%, and this fact is not unique to Russia, but all over the world. Incidence rate of inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs in the first decade of the twenty-first century is increased at 1.4 times in patients who are from 18 to 24 years old and at 1.8 times in patients aged 25-29 years. At the same time, the cost of diagnosis and treatment has increased, reaching 50-60% of the total cost of providing gynecological care for population. The inflammatory diseases of pelvic organs are a collective concept. It includes of various nosological forms. There are numerous contradictions in the views on diagnostic approaches and treatment tactics, the nature of screening and control over the long-term results of treatment, the etiological and pathogenetic significance of various microorganisms found in the genital tract in patients with inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. Currently, there are many opinions among specialists about diagnostic approaches and treatment tactics, the type of screening and monitoring the long-term results of treatment, the etiological and pathogenetic role of various microorganisms which can be found in the genital tract in patients with inflammatory diseases. This review presents the results of a modern approach to the diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of patients with inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.

Background:traumatic ankle joint osteochondral lesions and defects (OHLD) is frequent cause of OA, chronic pain and loss of joint function; results of traditional treatment strategy are often unsatisfyingObjectives:to develop treatment algorithm for OHLD based on evaluation of previously determined main prognostic factors.Methods:the analysis of long-term (36 ± 4.5 months) treatment results of 239 patients after traumatic ankle joint OHLD revealed the following factors with the greatest predictive value (defined by PC – prognostic coefficient) for good result of treatment (defined as AOFAS function score 75-100 points): age < 40 years (PC = 8.5); size of OHLD ≤ 1.0 cm2; volume ≤ 1.5 cm3(PC = 8.0); osteoarthritis stage ≤ II (PC = 7.2). Based on these factors, a step-by-step, discrete and alternative algorithm for the choice of treatment tactics was created. The algorithm includes use of arthroscopic or open debridement, abrasive chondroplasty, bone marrow regeneration stimulation (microfracturing or tunneling), mosaic osteochondroplasty, arthroplasty or arthrodesis, the use of cellular regenerative technologies (bone marrow cells, platelet riched plasma), and others. Patients of older age with advanced OA need complex, step up approach, surgical treatment combined with regenerative cell technologies. The effectiveness of the differentiated approach to treatment was studied in 72 patients with OHLD (main group) in comparing to 72 patients in whom traditional treatment approaches were used, based on the stage of injury according to the Berndt & Hardy classification (comparison group).Results:compared to the traditional approach, the developed algorithm and treatment system allowed to half terms of hospitalization, to reduce the intensity of pain syndrome (by NRS) and increase the functional activity (by AOFAS) by 25%. In 3 years after trauma good/excellent results of treatment demonstrated 86% patients of main group and 32,2% of patients from comparing group (p<0,05).Conclusion:implementation of the developed treatment algorithm increases the number of good and excellent long-term results by 2.6 times and reduces the number of complications and unsatisfactory results by 4.9 times.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

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).

The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of generalized periodontitis depending on age and biotype of periodontium. Materials and methods: We examined 855 males aged 20-55 years, who were divided into 2 groups: the main group – 570 surveyed with a generalized periodontitis, the comparison group – 285 dental healthy individuals.The diagnosis of generalized periodontitis was established by the classification Danilevsky M.F. (1994) and refined by using paraclinical indices. The periodontal biotype was determined using Hu-Friedy Colourvue Biotype Probe. Results: As a result of the conducted researches was establish, in the carriers of blood group O (I) and A (II), developed forms of generalized periodontitis were found, on average, 2.7 times more often than the initial forms of the disease. Instead, at the representatives of B (III) and AB (IV) groups blood the frequency of initial GP – I degree was on average, 1.2 times greater than the prevalence of developed forms of generalized periodontitis. Also as a result of our researches, we found that the cluster A1 had 39.30% patients, cluster A2 was found at 28, 77%, and cluster B – 31.93% of the total number of patients with generalized periodontitis. Conclusions: As a result of our research, it was found that in the carriers of the blood group O (I) and A (II), more advanced forms of generalized periodontitis were observed, which was confirmed by the presence of the biotype of the periodontal disease in the cluster A1 and A2.

Introduction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of introduction of early surgery in the course of isolated ileocecal Crohn’s disease, where there is no absolute indication of surgery. Methods. Observational study involving patients with isolated ileocecal Crohn’s disease who underwent early surgical resection (within one year of the presentation of the hospital). A complete blood count, ESR, and CRP were done and compared between the preoperative value, 1st postoperative visit (3-4 weeks), and last follow-up visit. Statistical analysis was done using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to compare the different figures. Results. There was a statistically significant increase in the hemoglobin levels between preoperative, postoperative, and long-term follow-up and a significant decrease in leukocyte count between the pre- and postoperative values (F=19.8, p<0.001 and F=8.9, p=0.002, resp.). Similarly, the ESR and CRP values were decreased significantly at long-term follow-up (F=8.5, p=0.019 and F=8.3, p=0.013, resp.). Conclusion. Early surgical resection in isolated ileocaecal Crohn’s disease achieved significant biochemical improvements. These successful results in this small number of patients indicate that early surgical intervention may provide better outcomes. These initial results encourage larger and comparative studies of long-term results versus long-term use of biological agents.

Background Pancreatic necrosectomy outcomes have been studied extensively; however, long-term results of these procedures have not been well characterized. Our study aimed to assess the outcomes at and after discharge for patients following necrosectomy. Methods Data from patients undergoing pancreatic necrosectomy at a single tertiary referral hospital from January 1, 2007, to June 1, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were stratified into an open pancreatic necrosectomy (OPN) and an endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (EPN) group. Results Cohorts were composed of an OPN (n = 30) and EPN (n = 31) groups with a mean follow-up of 22 and 13.5 months, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the demographics or etiology of disease; however, the presence of severe sepsis and elevated BISAP scores was significantly higher in the OPN group (40% vs 13% p = .016, 37% vs 10% p = .012, respectively). There was no significant difference in discharge parameters or disposition other than a higher need for wound care in the OPN group (14% vs 0% p =< .0001). No significant difference in the number of patients who returned to baseline, 12-month ED visits, 12-month readmissions, medical comorbidities, or long-term survival was noted. Conclusions Previous studies have demonstrated that OPN patients have a higher severity of disease and higher inpatient mortality; however, this does not hold true once the acute phase of the illness has passed. Long-term medical comorbidities and survival of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis who endure the primary insult do not differ in long term, regardless of the debridement modality performed for source control.

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).
