The article is devoted to the issues of etiology, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of spinal stenosis of the lumbar spine. The possibilities of modern instrumental diagnostics of the disease are described, the differential clinical diagnosis of lumbar stenosis is presented. The paper presents a detailed classification of spinal stenosis. The modern therapeutic tactics of the disease are described, indications for the surgical treatment of the disease are given. Modern methods of surgical treatment of stenosis are briefly and schematically described: decompression (microsurgical and endoscopic), interspinous fixation, stabilization (dorsal and ventral) and epidural stimulation of the spinal cord. The data on the immediate and long-term results of surgical methods of treatment are presented. The authors also presented their experience in the treatment of spinal stenosis of the lumbar spine. The use of differentiated surgical treatment tactics in 85–90 % of cases provides good and excellent results in the treatment of lumbar stenosis.

Surgical treatment of patients with spinal injuries, accompanied by traumatic stenosis of the spinal canal, is an urgent and discussed problem of modern vertebrology. Surgical treatment of 111 patients with various injuries of the thoracolumbar spine was performed. In 40 patients, post-traumatic stenosis was eliminated using ligamentotaxis using transpedicular osteosynthesis. The immediate results of treatment were followed up in all patients: good results were obtained in 33 (82.5%) cases; satisfactory — in 6 (15.0%), unsatisfactory — in 1 (2.5%). Long-term results with a follow-up of more than 1 year were followed up in 27 (67.5%) patients; good results were obtained in 20 (74.0%), satisfactory in 7 (25.0%).

Aim. Develop a pre-operative planning algorithm to treat patients with lumbar spinal stenosis of degenerative etiology.Material and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 522 patients at the age of 23-78 years with degenerative lumbar stenosis were analyzed. Patients with osteoporosis, with a sagittal spinal profile disorder or deviations in the frontal plane of more than 20 degrees, with spondylolistesis of more than 1 Meyerding degree, with accompanying pathology aggravating the Charlson Commorbidity Index of more than 8 points, were not included in this group. All patients underwent decompressive-stabilizing operations using TPF for 1 to 8 vertebral-motor segments (PDS). Decompression and interbody stabilization were performed by the method PLIF, TLIF, or by the method of reconstruction of the lumbar vertebral-motor segment (patent #2527150), or the ventral fusion was performed.Results. Immediate and distant results over a period of 24-36 months were studied by regression in major clinical manifestations. The VAS, McCulloch and Young scales, the Oswestry questionnaire, and the modified Macnab scale were applied. The quality of decompression, correction in operated PDS and intertose splicing were evaluated. The effect of the initial state of patients on the obtained results and the number of complications were studied as well. For this purpose, the correlation analysis was carried out between clinical parameters characterizing initial condition of patients (length of lumbar spinal stenosis, degree of functional maladaptation, duration of anamnesis and severity of premorbid background) and achieved results of treatment, as well as number of complications. A correlation analysis was also performed between the technique of performed operations and surgical tactics on the one hand and the achieved results and the number of complications on the other.Discussion. Differences in results and number of complications depending on the applied technical and tactical treatment options and statistical treatment with determination of the correlation coefficient of Spirman and Fisher's criterion determined clinical and spondylometric signs in the pre-operative state of patients, that influenced the probability of complications when using the specified technical and tactical treatment options. It has been found that the state of the premorbid background reliably affects the probability of the most dangerous intraoperative and early complications. The length of decompressive stabilizing operations affects the probability of evidence for audits in the distant period. When performing TLIF, the spondylolistesis presence increases the likelihood of intraoperative liquvorea. The method of lumbar vertebral-motor segment reconstruction in lumbar lordosis deficiency improves the possibility of correction in operated PDS in comparison with TLIF technique.Conclusion. Taking into account the revealed statistically confirmed effect of a number of clinical and spondylometric signs of the pre-operative condition in patients on the probability of complications using various technical and tactical versions of treatment, an algorithm of pre-operative planning of surgical intervention in patients with lumbar stenosis of degenerative etiology is presented.

Relevance. Treatment of achalasia of the cardia (AС) is currently palliative, aimed at reducing the manifestation of clinical symptoms of the disease. Together with instrumental methods of examination of esophageal function, the Eckardt scale and the GIGLI questionnaire are convenient and simple tools for evaluating results in the long-term postoperative period.The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with 2-4 stages of AС, after laparoscopic Нeller myotomy with anterior hemiesophagofundoplication by Dor to the results of special methods of esophageal examination and patient questionnaires using the Eckardt scale and the GIGLI questionnaire.Materials and methods. The work included the results of examinations of 103 patients who underwent video laparoscopic Нeller myotomy, with anterior hemiesophagofundoplication by Dor. The period of examination in the postoperative period was from 3 to 7 years. The results of X-ray examination of the esophagus and stomach, manometry of the esophageal and esophageal-gastric junction before and after surgery were studied , and patients were also surveyed according to the Eckardt scale and the GIGLI questionnaire.Results. The analysis of the results of instrumental methods of studying the function of the esophagus in the pre – and postoperative periods showed that the given manometry of the esophagus and esophageal-gastric junction, X-ray of the esophagus and stomach significantly improved in the postoperative period in patients with all stages of the disease. The results of patients of 4th stage AC compared with the results of 2nd and 3rd stages patients were worse(p<0,05).The leading symptom of AK-dysphagia in the long-term postoperative period decreased in all the studied patients, the results were better in patients with stage 2, worse in patients with stage 4 of AK (p<0,05).The leading symptom of AK-dysphagia in the long-term postoperative period decreased in all the studied patients, the 2nd stage patients results were better, 4th stage patients results were worse (p<0,05).Conclusions. After video-endoscopic Нeller myotomy with fundoplication by Dor, the indicators of esophageal manometry and esophageal and stomach radiography significantly improve, the results of the Eckardt scale and GIGLI questionnaire survey of patients show a significant decrease in the severity of clinical manifestations of AC in the balls. This method of surgical treatment can be recommended already at the 2nd stage of AC and as an organpreserving operation for 4th stage.

✓ 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.

Glaucoma is a socially sensitive disease, being one of the leading causes of irreversible visual impairment and blindness. Refractory glaucoma is one of the most severe forms of the disease as it is resistant to conservative and surgical methods of treatment. Because of pronounced postoperative fibroblastic activity of eye tissues, leading to gross scarring and obliteration of outflow paths, modern materials and methods of drainage surgery are needed. The review presents a variety of drains used today and considers in detail their main characteristics and the biocompatibility of the material used with eye tissues. Various groups of implants are presented, whose effectiveness and safety are compared and assessed. The statistics of postoperative complications and long-term results of surgical treatment are given.
