The study and analysis of the treatment outcomes were carried out in 69 patients aged from 40 to 85 years (mean age 53.0±1.0) who had tumours of the body or cardiac part of the stomach T3-4 (according to the UICC classification (ninth edition, 2014)). The distribution of patients according to the localization of tumour lesions in the stomach was as follows: 43 (62.3%) cases found in the body region and 22 (31.9%) found in the proximal section (of which 14 (20 3%) were in the cardia (Type III according to Siewert J.R.), 8 (11.6%) patients had the transition to the abdominal oesophagus (type II according to Siewert JR), 4 (5.8%) patients had the tumour located in the stump of the resected organ. Histologically, the vast majority of neoplasms were represented by adenocarcinoma (94.8%). All other types of tumours made up for 5.2%. The patients received photodynamic therapy with the Photolon photosensitizer and subsequent irradiation with a laser with a wavelength λ = 0.67 μm crossed irradiation fields, which was introduced through the biopsy channel of the endoscope. The light dose and the number of irradiation sessions were determined depending on the degree of damage to the oesophagus and stomach (from 4 to 7 sessions). The light dose of the session was up to 200 J. The power density of the laser radiation is 25 mW/cm2. Endoscopic photodynamic therapy can be used at the stage of combined treatment in combination with chemotherapy and surgery and is an effective means of preventing the failure of the oesophageal-small intestinal anastomosis in the early postoperative period. Due to photodynamic therapy in the preoperative period, the number of complications in the early postoperative period has significantly decreased. The leakage of the oesophageal-intestinal anastomosis developed in 4 cases, which make up 5.8%.

The analysis of the results of treatment of 10 patients with gastric cancer with high surgical risk, who in the treatment complex used photodynamic therapy with photosensitizer Photolon and further irradiation with a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of λ = 0.67 μm cross-irradiation fields introduced through the biopsy channel of the endoscope. Endoscopic PDT can be used at the stage of combined treatment in combination with drug therapy and surgical interventions and is an effective means of preventing the development of esopha- geal-small intestinal anastomosis failures in the early postoperative period. Endoscopic PDT can also be used in the postoperative period as a prophylaxis of early postoperative complications in cases of detection of tumor cells in the margins of resection.

Aim. To evaluate the effi cacy of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in patients with a different functional status (FS) after the elimination of acute colonic obstruction (ACO).Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 210 medical records of patients who had undergone emergency surgical interventions aimed at ACO elimination was carried out. Based on the value of the direct current potential (DCP), the patients were divided into three groups: 1st (n = 96) with the DCP value from –30 mV and below — FS subcompensation; 2nd (n = 60) with average negative DCP values from –15 to –29.9 mV — FS compensation; 3rd (n = 54) with low negative and positive DCP values from –14.9 mV and higher — FS decompensation. The correlation between patients’ FS and the incidence of postoperative complications was studied, and independent predictors of fatal outcomes were identifi ed. Subsequently, a quantitative analysis of complications and mortality was carried out in each group depending on the use of HBO sessions in the postoperative period, followed by an assessment of their effi cacy.Results. According to the number of perioperative complications and mortality, risk groups in terms of the unfavourable course of the postoperative period were identifi ed: patients with high negative DCP values, for whom the arterial hypotension and acute kidney injury (AKI) could serve as the independent predictors of death; and patients with low negative and positive DCP values, for whom the statistically signifi cant predictors of mortality were shown to be the DCP level, hypotension, AKI and pneumonia. HBO sessions in the postoperative period allow the number of complications in the general population to be reduced: pneumonia by 7%, delirium by 8.8%, AKI by 6.3%, intestinal dysfunction for more than 3 days by 7.3%. In addition, HBO contributed to a 2.9% decrease in suppurative diseases. The analysis of the data on the HBO application in the general population and FS information showed HBO to have a positive effect on the general somatic status of ACO patients. In addition, HBO treatment is shown to decrease the incidence of complications in the early postoperative period. The effi cacy of HBO is found to be higher in the cohort of the most severe patients with decompensated FS, where such complications as delirium, pneumonia and gastrointestinal paresis were decreased by 22.2%, 13% and 18.5%, respectively. As a result, in this group of patients, a signifi cant decrease of 11.1% in 30-day mortality was achieved.Conclusion. The postoperative period depends on the actual FS. The conducted analysis of HBO therapy has convincingly confi rmed its effi cacy in the combined treatment of patients after the elimination of ACO.

The authors analyzed the results of simultaneous operations in 238 patients with regard to the combined surgical and gynecological pathology performed in the hospital-replacing environment of the ВСDС of PAO «Gazprom». Previously, all patients were assigned to the sequence of stages, the location of trocars, taking into account the additional stages of the operation, the position of the monitor, the location of the operating team, the position of the patient on the operating table during each stage. Performing simultaneous laparoscopic operations does not lead to an increase in the number of intra- and postoperative complications in comparison with isolated interventions and is not accompanied by great technical difficulties, but causes a somewhat longer duration (on average, 20.6 ± 1.5 min), which, in our opinion , is not critical for anesthesia. There were no significant differences in the course of the early postoperative period and the intensity of the functional systems of the body. Advantages of simultaneous operations are undeniable: two or three surgical diseases are cured simultaneously, progression or serious complication of the disease is prevented, operative treatment of which would be postponed for a later period, the risk of repeated surgery and anesthesia is eliminated, the time of total stay of the patient in the hospital and subsequent treatment is reduced, economic efficiency of treatment is increased.

aim. To assess the efficacy and safety of general associated balanced anesthesia based on epidural block during cesarean section in patients with “severe” mitral stenosis.Material and methods. The results of clinical observations, and a complex of clinical, functional and biochemical studies during cesarian section of 26 women aged 18-30 years, with a gestation period of 32-34 weeks had been studied. All patients had «severe» MS (according to A.N. Okorokov, s classifications). Depending on the method of anesthesia all patients were divided into two equal groups Patients of group I (n=13) were operated under conditions of associated balanced anesthesia (CBA) on the basis of epidural blockade (EB) patients of group II (n=13) were operated under conditions of one of the most common variants of multicomponent anesthesia (MCA). The operations were performed in a planned method, their durations made 35-60 minutes. The duration of anesthesia were 50-110 minutesResults. Significant advantages of CBA on the basis of EB became apparent: minimal expense of narcotic preparations and muscular relaxants: rapid rehabilitation of reflex muscular activity, making it possible to carry out extubations of trachea in earlier term: opportunity of using epidural catheter in postoperative period in order to receive prolonged postoperative analgesia. Conclusion. CBA on the basis of EB provides reliable antinociceptive protections of the body from surgical aggression, ensures a smooth course of anesthesia and early postoperative period and therefore has an obvious advantage over the traditional version of GMCA with AVL.K

AbstractThe cosmetic outcomes following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is a priority for patients as the surgical scar is in a visible area of the body. Although some have advocated the use of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, these are not without risks and it has been suggested that the scars are not necessarily more favorable. The three most common means of skin closure include the use of subcuticular sutures, clips, and tissue adhesive (with or without deeper subcutaneous sutures) and there are no previous reviews of the published evidence. In this study, the authors compare the cosmetic outcomes through a systematic review of literature. Three studies (n = 200) comparing subcuticular sutures and clips suggest superior cosmetic outcomes with sutures (with statistically significant differences in the immediate postoperative period). Three studies (n = 213) comparing sutures and tissue adhesive show superior outcomes with sutures in the early postoperative period with no differences thereafter. Two studies (n = 202) comparing tissue adhesive and clips do not show that one is superior to the other and show no significant differences. Overall the data are limited; however, the evidence suggests that subcuticular sutures may offer superior cosmetic outcomes than clips and tissue adhesive in conventional thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Currently, the elderly and senile account for 10 to 25% of all hospitalized for acute calculous cholecystitis. High operative-anesthetic risk, concomitant diseases and low resistance to surgical trauma are the cause of high frequency of postoperative complications and fatalities in this category of patients. In recent years, a reduction in postoperative mortality in acute cholecystitis, which is currently 0.28-2.9%, with gangrenous cholecystitis, it is higher to 17.8%. The aim of the study is to analyze and develop a rehabilitation program in the postoperative period in elderly and senile patients after surgery with acute calculous cholecystitis. Materials and methods We conducted an analysis of surgical treatment of 53 elderly and senile patients with acute calculous cholecystitis. In all patients, this diagnosis was confirmed intraoperatively and histologically. The age of all patients ranged from 61 to 89 years (mean 72.4 ± 8.7 years). Among the examined sick men there were 12 (22.6%), women - 41 (77.4%). The main criteria for assessing and creating a rehabilitation program in patients after surgery with acute calculous cholecystitis were the following processes: improving the general condition of patients, restoring intestinal motility, restoring or improving all impaired cardiovascular and respiratory functions, prevention of general complications (cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive and other systems), local (from the wound), normalization of blood parameters, One of the important components of successful surgical treatment of patients in the postoperative period is the timely restoration of respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive system after surgery. a guarantee of prevention of probable postoperative complications which are formed in the first 3-5 days after surgery. Objectives of the rehabilitation program in the early postoperative period in elderly and senile patients with acute calculous cholecystitis: to reduce the impact of drugs and accelerate the excretion of toxic substances from the body; restore adequate respiration and oxygen saturation; improve external respiration function, bronchial patency and bronchial drainage function; stabilize central hemodynamics to reduce peripheral circulatory disorders; prevent complications from the gastrointestinal tract, thromboembolic complications; prevent complications from the postoperative wound. Conclusions: Development of a rehabilitation program is a mandatory component in operated patients. Particular attention is paid to elderly and senile patients, who require a set of rehabilitation measures to be minimal, but sufficient to restore lost or reduced body functions in the early postoperative period, but at the same time, it should not exceed the patient's capabilities and ensure maximum efficiency. restoration. Start a rehabilitation program (breathing exercises, kinesiotherapy, massage, inhalation in combination with physiotherapy procedures) should be 12 - 16 hours after surgery. Prospects for further development Continue to develop a rehabilitation program for elderly and senile patients, taking into account the functional capabilities of the body in the long period of rehabilitation.

Due to the increasing number of сosmetic operations to changing nature of the deposition of fat in a particular area of the body (in our case, in the abdomen), surgically, there are cases of examination of the corpses of people who died in the early post- operative period due to pulmonary embolism as phlebothrombosis complications from deep vein of the leg. The article demonstrates types and number of complications, developing in early postoperative period after liposuction, also there are given extracts from the case history and the expert opinion, describing in detail the postoperative period and morphological changes, found during the autopsy and forensic histological examination. Pathogenetic mechanism of postoperative complications and causal relationship between incor- rect postoperative care and lethal outcome are well-grounded.
