The issues of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnosis of intracardiac infection are considered on the basis of the experience of surgical treatment of 3700 patients with infectious endocarditis. The principles of surgical interventions for various forms of infectious endocarditis, as well as for its most severe variants, accompanied by destruction of intracardiac structures and damage to other organs, are presented. The immediate and long- term results o f treatment and opportunities for their improvement are analyzed.

Introduction. Currently, there are different views on the treatment of non-parasitic spleen cysts in children. The choice of method of treatment is under discussion. The aim of our study was to evaluate and analyze the immediate and long-term results of surgical interventions performed on nonparasitic spleen cysts in children. Material and methods. There are presented results of surgical treatment of the 21 patient, who was on treatment at the Department of Abdominal Surgery of the Russian Children Clinical Hospital over the period from 2013 to 2016. Patients were examined by means of ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, CT, MRI. All patients have been operated. 22 surgical interventions were performed by using laparoscopic access, out of which 2 partial resections of the spleen, 1 splenectomy, 19 fenestrations of spleen cysts.Results. During the course of the operation and in the immediate postoperative period there were no complications. Patients were observed for the period of from 1 year to 3 years. Good results of treatment were obtained in 20 (95.2%) children. In a long-term period a relapse occurred in the one patient one year after the operation. The patient was reoperated, splenectomy was performed. Conclusion. The surgical treatment of spleen cysts is the basic one. It is indicated for cysts sized larger than 5 cm and cysts with clinical symptoms. Minimally invasive interventions in children are optimal because of their low traumatism and good cosmetic effect. Our study showed a high efficiency of laparoscopic operations in children suffered from non-parasitic spleen cysts with good long-term results.

✓ The authors present 27 cases of vertebral hydatidosis with clinical and laboratory findings. The most frequent location of the lesion was the lumbar spine. Principal neurological symptoms were paraparesis, sphincter disturbances, paresthesia and paraplegia. The average number of surgical interventions per patient was 2.6; the most common procedure was laminectomy with extirpation of the cyst and surgical toilet. The results of surgical treatment were generally good in the immediate postoperative period, but long-term results were poor.

OBJECTIVE. Hiatal hernias are the most common type of visceral anatomy disorder. The unresolved problem of surgical treatment of this pathology remains the high frequency of its relapse. Currently, it is believed that repeated surgical interventions for hiatal hernia are technically difficult, carry a high risk of complications and have unsatisfactory long-term results.MATERIAL AND METHODS. In the period from 2015 to 2019, 55 patients with this pathology were operated. In 52 (94.5 %) cases, the revision operation was performed laparoscopically, in 3 (5.5 %) – through left-side thoracotomy. The technique of the operation implied the removal of hiatal hernia and the implementation of antireflux reconstruction. In five (9.9 %) patients with a shortened esophagus, the fundoplication wrap was originally created in the chest; in 50 (90.1 %), normal anatomy was restored.RESULTS. Long-term results ranging from 12 to 48 months were evaluated in 53 (96.4 %) cases. The natural position of the esophagus and stomach in relation to the diaphragm was detected in 43 (81.1 %) patients, relapse of hiatal hernia – in 5 (9.4 %). In 5 patients, the fundoplication wrap formed in the chest was functional. The absence of gastroesophageal reflux was observed in 41 (91.8 % of patients who had GERD before surgery). In 4 (8.8 %) cases, including one patient with antireflux reconstruction in the chest, a relapse of the disease occurred.CONCLUSION. The presented results allowed the surgical treatment of recurrent hiatal hernias reasonable and effective.The authors declare no conflict of interest.The authors confirm that they respect the rights of the people participated in the study, including obtaining informed consent when it is necessary, and the rules of treatment of animals when they are used in the study. Author Guidelines contains the detailed information.

Purpose:to evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment for the non-tumorous diseases of the craniovertebral region.Patients and Methods. Forty five patients aged 4 – 63 years (mean age 27 years) with non-tumorous diseases of the craniovertebral region were operated on. Either one- or two-step surgical interventions for spinal cord decompression were performed. Early and long term results were evaluated by Frankel, JAO and River scales. In 5 cases the assessment of volumetric craniovertebral interrelationships (VCVI).Results.Good results were obtained in 43 (96%) patients at terms from 1 to 15 years. In 1 patient with mucopolysaccharidoses the aggravation of neurologic symptoms was observed and in 1 case a fatal outcome occurred. VCVI analysis showed a significant improvement of liquor dynamics right up to its normalization in the zone of decompression.Conclusion.Treatment of craniovertebral region diseases requires a differential approach. When necessary to eliminate ventral spinal cord compression it is expedient to perform either transoral or endoscopic transnasal decompression, or transoral spinal cord (myelencephalon) decompression with anterior stabilization by custom-made device (plate).

The article considers the problem of broad forefoot, which is one of the most frequent deformities of the musculoskeletal system. Aim - to improve the results of treatment of patients with transverse platypodia by the use of new methods of surgical interventions, and to improve the tactics of postoperative management of such patients. Material and methods. The study involved analysis of the results of treatment of 375 patients. For evaluating the long-term outcomes of treatment, methods of evidence-based medicine were used, reflecting a reduction in the relative risk of interventions and an increase in their relative benefit. Results. The study of the long-term results of treatment showed that there were good and satisfactory outcomes in 92.7% cases (267 patients) and only 7.3% of unsatisfactory results (21 patients) in the main group; in comparison group - 74.7% (65 patients) and 25.3% (22 patients) respectively. The evaluation of the adequacy of anesthesia on the first day after the operation revealed good and satisfactory quality of anesthesia in the first group in 89.9% patients (259), in the second - only in 55.2% patients (48). Conclusion. The use of the above mentioned methods of surgical treatment and enhancement of tactics of postoperative management improve outcomes of patients with transverse flatfoot, and, consequently, are recommended for widespread use in clinical practice.

The paper presents a completed case of the surgical treatment of a 10-year-old female patient with progressive grade IV idiopathic scoliosis who underwent surgical correction using total transpedicular fixation. The paper demonstrates long-term results of treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in the actively growing patient without the use of epiphyseodesis and staged surgical interventions.
