Minimal Invasiveness

Relevance: Modern endonasal surgery allows to remove polyps from all affected paranasal sinuses, following the principles of minimal invasiveness. Minimal traumatic of surgical intervention gives the best results, accompanied by less progression of the disease. Minimal invasiveness of surgical intervention and its obligatory combination with postoperative medical treatment are common practice in many countries. One of the drugs that actively effect the restoration of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in the early postoperative period is Nazomer, which includes sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol in saline solution. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the drug Nazomer in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis after endoscopic polyposynosotomy. Results and discussion: The main group consisted of 30 patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis, who were prescribed Nasomer in addition to standard treatment in the postoperative period. The control group included 30 patients who underwent standard treatment in the postoperative period. As criteria for clinical efficacy, data from endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and indicators of anterior rhinomatometry, measured by the «Optimus» device, were selected. In the main group, the index of nasal breathing according to rhinomatometry was better than the results of patients in the control group on the 3rd and 5th day of the postoperative period by 26% and 24%, respectively. Conclusion: The use of the drug Nazomer in the postoperative period in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis contributes to more active restoration of respiratory function of the nasal cavity compared with the control group, according to rhinomatometry, up to 26%. Based on the results obtained, the drug Nazomer is an effective anti-inflammatory and regenerative agent in the postoperative period in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis.

Topicality: The result of surgical treatment depends largely on the chosen method of management of the postoperative period, the main purpose of which is to reduce the effects of surgical trauma. Despite the wide variety of drugs for local and systemic use, the question of pharmacotherapy of the operated sinus remains open to this day. The main properties that a modern drug should possess are safety and high clinical efficacy. Aim: to study the clinical efficacy of topical application of a complex preparation based on a saline solution containing sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol in patients with chronic sinusitis after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Materials and Methods: Clinical and laboratory studies were conducted on 47 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent surgery using the FESS technique. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the principle of the postoperative period. Patients of research group (n=21), except for traditional therapy, was used locally NASOMER (a preparation based on a water-salt solution containing sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol); to the control group (n=26) patients entered, in the postoperative period received traditional therapy. Traditional therapy included a toilet of the nasal cavity, the use of short-course topical decongestants, irrigation of the nasal cavity with water-salt solutions. Criteria of clinical effectiveness: data of endoscopy of the nasal cavity, rhinomanometry, activity of the mucociliary transport system. The effectiveness of functional research methods in the postoperative period was determined on the 7th and 14th day of treatment. Results: On the 3rd day of the study, an increase in the swelling of the nasal cavity was observed in patients of both clinical groups, correlated with difficulty in nasal breathing. On the 7th day, a decrease in edema was observed in patients of both groups, but in the experimental group, the index of nasal breathing, according to rhinomanometry, was significantly (p<0.05) different from the control group, and was respectively 1.54±0.14 and 2.04±0.19 kPa/l*s. On the 14th day of the study, no significant difference was observed between these indicators. When studying the activity of the ciliated epithelium of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, it was proved that patients of the experimental group on day 7 after surgery showed a statistically significant difference in this indicator compared to the control group (17.8±1.0 and 22.7±2.1 min. respectively). Conclusions: The use of NASOMER after surgical intervention in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis contributes to more effective treatment compared with traditional therapy, as evidenced by the rapid recovery of the main functional parameters according to active posterior rhinomanometry and mucociliary clearance. Based on the results of the studies performed, the use of NASOMER for pharmacotherapy in the postoperative period is recommended for patients who have undergone rhinosurgical interventions with the aim of reducing the period of postoperative rehabilitation as an effective anti-inflammatory and wound-healing agent.

Surgical interventions in the nasal cavity are accompanied by reactive phenomena in the postoperative period. On their background the process of physiological regeneration is disorganized resulting in impaired physiological functions of the nasal cavity.The objective of the research was to study the recovery process of the main physiological functions of the nasal cavity in patients with aspirin-intolerant polypous rhinosinusitis in the postoperative period.Materials and methods. 80 patients with aspirin-intolerant polypous rhinosinusitis at the age of 24-57 years were operated on.All the patients were divided into 2 groups: the control group included 30 patients; the main group comprised 50 patients.Patients of the control group received nasal cavity cleaning, nasal mucosa anemisation, irrigation therapy since the first day of the postoperative period.Patients of the main group received an herbal drug BNO-101 additionally. The effectiveness was assessed on the 3rd, 7th and 10th days of treatment.Results. The postoperative rehabilitation with the inclusion of botanical preparation BNO-101 provided a significant improvement of nasal breathing, mucociliary transport rate and indicators of nasal peak flowmetry compared to the control group. Despite subjective improvement of nasal breathing the indicators of the peak expiratory flow rate in the main group were 34.2% lower than the norm while in the control group they were 54.7% lower than normal ones thereby justifying further treatment.Conclusions. The postoperative rehabilitation of patients with aspirin-intolerant polypous rhinosinusitis provided more rapid improvement of the main functions of the nasal cavity compared to the control group.

Introduction. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a disease that occurs everywhere, characterized by inflammation of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. If it is impossible to eliminate the causes of the recurrent disease with medical therapy, the use of surgical treatment help to recover the normal functioning of the ostium, including the ostiomeatal complex to improve ventilation and drainage of the paranasal sinuses and recover nasal breathing to relieve chronic inflammation.Purpose of the study. Assessment of the degree of intraoperative bleeding in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.Materials and methods. On the basis of the FGBU SPB Research Institute of ENT of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in the period from 2020 to 2021. the study of the effect of local intranasal glucocorticosteroids (INGKS) in the intraoperative period in patients with chronic polypous rhinosinusitis was carried out. The total amount of blood loss during surgery for chronic polypous rhinosinusitis in patients who used mometasone furoate preoperatively and in patients not taking topical hormonal drugs was analyzed.Results. In the study group, the average blood loss per operation was 257 ml, in the control group – 401 ml. In patients who took intranasal glucocorticosteroids during surgery, the intensity of bleeding is less pronounced. Undoubtedly, there are many reasons that affect the intensity of bleeding in general, however, a decrease in the inflammatory response in the nasal cavity and a decrease in inflammatory metabolites have a beneficial effect on the state of the nasal mucosa.Conclusion. The use of intranasal glucocorticosteroids in the preoperative period has a positive effect on reducing the inflammatory process in the nasal cavity, which helps to reduce the intensity of intraoperative bleeding.

Chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) is characterized by tissue inflammation around the tooth tip. Unstable outcomes of current treatments against CAP dictate the need for novel therapeutic techniques and medications. The aim of this study was to analyzed the effects of hirudotherapy on the treatment course in patients with CAP. Forty-one study participants aged 25 to 40 years were divided into the main group (20 patients) and the control group (21 patients). Pain level and the gingival index (GI) were measured in all study participants. During the first visit, pain scores did not differ significantly between the control (5.81 ± 0.65) and the main (5.75 ± 0.92) groups. During the second visit, pain was almost unnoticeable in the main group patients (1.05 ± 0.34), whereas pain scores were higher in the control group (4.10 ± 0.7). Our findings suggest a positive effect of hirudotherapy used in combination with standard treatment regimens.

Purpose. Im proving the results of treatment of patients with ureteral stones and reducing the dam aging effects of contact lithotripsy.Materials and methods. In this study, 48 patients were examined aged 20 to 63 years. All patients admitted to the urology department with diagnoses: urolithiasis, calculus of the ureter. In all cases contact ureterolithotripsy with stenting of the upper urinary tract were performed. The patients were divided into two groups: main and control. 25 patients (52 .1%) were included into the main group, which in the postoperative period, we used low-level laser therapy (L-therapy). 23 patients were included in a control group (47.9%) who did not receive low-laser therapy. Laboratory tests and ultrasound with Doppler renal blood vessels scan were performed on admission, on the first day after the operation and on the 5-th day of hospitalization. Low-intensity laser therapy was performed within 5 days after contact ureterolithotripsy on projection of placement of stone and kidney projection by series for 5 minutes.Results. All patients admitted to the hospital, were spared from ureteral stones. In the main group during the treatment with L-therapy a decrease in the level of beta-2 microglobulin to normal was observed. (4.8 ± 0.1 mg/l on the first day. On the 5th day 2 .3 + 0.1 mg/l). In the control group during the treatment without the use of L-therapy, the average level of beta-2 microglobulin decreased but did not reach normal levels. (5.5 ± 0.1 mg/l on the first day. On the 5th day 3,2 ±0, l mg/l).Resistance index in the study group decreased compared to the control. In the control group, cases of acute pyelonephritis were observed. The average hospital stay for patients of the main group (6 days) was less than in the control group (6 .5 + days).Conclusion. The use of laser therapy in the treatment of patients who did undergo ureterolithotripsy can reduce the length of stay of the patient in the hospital and reduce the risk of acute pyelonephritis in the postoperative period. Also it can reduce the damaging effect of lithotripsy on the renal tissues.

The purpose of the research is to improve the efficiency of restorative treatment of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis based on the inclusion in therapeutic schemes of innovative mineral bishophytic complexes ― gel "Bishophytic" and rinser "Polymineral." Materials and methods. The study involved 116 patients at the age of 35 to 73 years old suffering from periodontal pathology (mild and moderate chronic generalized periodontitis). They were distributed by simple randomization into 3 groups: the main group included 43 people who received standard treatment in accordance with Russian clinical recommendations for the treatment of periodontitis, 45 minutes later the patients were prescribed some applications with 10% dental gel "Bishophytic" on the gum, in addition, the patients were recommended to use a rinser "Polymineral" for 6 months; the group of comparison included39 people who received standard treatment and gum applications with 10% "Bishophytic" dental gel; the control group) included 38 people who received only standard treatment. Results. Inclusion of mineral bishophytic complexes in treatment programs of patients with CGP contributes to significant reduction of inflammatory activity of periodontal tissues: 61.3% (p 0.01) had the improvement of hygienic and plaque indices in comparison with initial data; 54.6% (р 0,01) had the improvement after additional use of only gum applications with "Bishophytic" gel; the improvement was 52.2% (р 0.01) after basic drug therapy. Thus, the improvement of enzymatic processes was by 30.0% (p 0.01), 26.9% (p 0.01) and 7.8%; reduction of cytokine activity by 62.8% (p0.01), 61.1% (p 0.01) and 40%; the improvement of dental health by 84.0% (p 0.01), 80.7% (p 0.01) and 74.5% (p 0.01) at рkg-ог 0,05 and рkg-ог0,01. Conclusion. Inclusion of innovative mineral bishophytic complexes (gel "Bishophytic" and rinser "Polymineral") in treatment programs of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis contributes to optimization of therapeutic measures: clinical effectiveness in the main group was 93.0%; after usage of dental gel "Bishophytic" (group of comparison) it was 89.7% and after basic therapy (control group) 81.6%.

Among chronic forms of rhinitis of great importance is vasomotor rhinitis, which is the most common form of chronic non-allergic rhinitis and the clinician has to deal with it constantly. Treatment of vasomotor rhinitis is a complex and largely unresolved problem, which puts this disease among the important problems of modern rhinology. The variety of methods used in the treatment of patients with vasomotor rhinitis confirms the complexity of the task of choosing the optimal method for clinicians and the difficulty of obtaining a sustainable result from the chosen method. Surgical treatment of patients with of patients with various forms of chronic rhinitis is sometimes the only effective. Currently, the arsenal of methods and means of surgical treatment of the nasal concha is quite wide and varied. The purpose of this study – to study in a comparative aspect the functional state of the nasal cavity after carrying out some methods of surgical treatment ofvasomotor rhinitis. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the clinic of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Tashkent institute of postgraduate medical education on 43 patients with vasomotor rhinitis in age from 20 to 46 years, average age 28,0±1,3 years. All patients with BP included in our study, after collecting complaints and anamnesis, underwent an endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, a computerized tomogram of the nose and paranasal sinuses, standard laboratory tests and microscopy of a smear from the nasal cavity on eosinophils.Investigated the respiratory (computer rhinopneumocotachometry), transport (saccharin test) functions of the nasal mucosa, performed an adrenaline test and the Flour test (determination of the consistency of inferior nasal concha and the response to pushing with a push-button probe). Results: Studies have shown the highest efficiency of laser coagulation with vasomotor rhinitis. After laser surgery, a long-lasting and sustained improvement in the functions of the nasal cavity was noted, while there was no adverse effect on the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, which was reflected in the recovery rates of both nasal breathing and mucociliary clearance. Given the well-tolerated laser coagulation, the lack of the need for observation and care of the nasal cavity in the postoperative period, the possibility of outpatient treatment, allows us to recommend this type of exposure as the method of choice in the surgical treatment of patients with vasomotor rhinitis. The simplicity of submucosal vasotomy, the availability of instruments for carrying out, the restoration of free nasal breathing and the positive effect on the functional state of the nasal cavity, although slower than laser coagulation, minimal side effects put it on a par with the laser effect. The need to use tampons after surgery reduces the quality of life of patients, hospital stays and the need to monitor patients in the early postoperative period makes this operation strictly inpatient. Electrocautery of inferior nasal concha demonstrated in our study a negative effect on the function of the nasal cavity, although, of course, there was a definite improvement in nasal breathing, but the severity and speed of improvement was significantly less than during laser exposure and submucosal vasotomy. The slowest and most incomplete restoration of the mucociliary clearance of the nasal cavity once again underlines the disadvantage of this method. Conclusion: Evaluation of the long-term results of surgical treatment based on the combination of effects on the respiratory and transport functions of the nasal cavity, as well as on the clinical manifestations of BP, makes it possible to recommend laser coagulation as the most optimal method providing a long-lasting effect in treating patients with vasomotor rhinitis. Alternatively, you can take a submucosal vasotomy of the inferior nasal concha.

The objective: to analyze the results of repeated laparoscopy in gynecological patients with suspected intraperitoneal postoperative complications.Materials and methods. The study involved 42 patients (mean age 46±11,3 years), in whom postoperative abdominal complications after surgical treatment of various gynecological diseases required repeated operations. Depending on the method of re-intervention, the patients were divided into 2 groups: the main group (n=20) – women who only used laparoscopy to correct postoperative complications; control (n=22) – women who were given indications for relaparotomy to correct postoperative complications during diagnostic laparoscopy. Relaparotomy was performed in 8 patients of the control group. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination using clinical, instrumental and laboratory research methods. The groups were homogeneous in terms of age and structure of operations performed on the pelvic organs, and statistically comparable.Results. During the study, the results of repeated laparoscopy of 34 gynecological patients with suspected intraperitoneal postoperative complications were analyzed. In all patients of the main group (47,6%), laparoscopy was revealed as the only and final method of treatment of postoperative complications, while in 7 women repeated relaparoscopy was used from 2 to 4 times, and in 13 women laparoscopy was performed once. In the control group (53,3%), 10 patients during diagnostic laparoscopy were exposed to indications for relaparotomy, in 4 patients the capabilities of the operating team and laparoscopic technique allowed performing some elements of the operation and completing it with a minilaparotomy approach, and 8 patients underwent relaparotomy immediately.Peritonitis and intraperitoneal bleeding prevail in the structure of early abdominal complications. The use of the video laparoscopic technique made it possible in 28,6% of patients with diffuse peritonitis to successfully eliminate the developed complication, eliminate its source and sanitize the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopic hemostasis was successfully performed in 7 patients.Compared with the standard, the use of video endoscopic technique allowed improving the indicators of diagnostic value: to increase the sensitivity level by 1,07 times, specificity by 1,39 times and diagnostic accuracy by 1,11 times.Conclusion. In general, in the early postoperative period, 47 relaparoscopies were performed for suspected complications, which is explained by programmed abdominal sanitization and the use of dynamic laparoscopy to control the course of intraperitoneal complications. Based on the analysis of the material under study, we proposed general indications and contraindications for relaparoscopy in the early postoperative period in order to diagnose and treat postoperative complications. Justifying each of the points, we were guided by the real possibilities of the method in general clinical practice, which in some cases are inferior in their effectiveness to relaparotomy.

Background. Inhaled nitric oxide is a highly selective pulmonary vasodilator, the potential benefits of which include reduced resistance and pressure in the pulmonary artery without systemic arterial hypotension, vasodilation in well-ventilated areas of the lungs, rapid onset of action, and a fairly low incidence of side effects in the therapeutic dose range. Objective. Тс estimate the clinical efficacy and safety of the method for synthesizing nitric oxide from room air in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery. Design and methods. A total of 110 patients were enrolled in the study: 55 patients were included in the main group (nitric oxide was synthesized from room air by AIT-NO-01 device), 55 patients were enrolled in the retrospective control group (nitric oxide was inhaled from the balloon). Inclusion criteria were: undergone heart surgery, mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPm) ≥ 25 mm Hg., pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤ 15 mm Hg. Results. After one hour of nitric oxide inhalation in the main group, there were a 35 % decrease in PVR and a 16 % decrease in PAPm. In the control group, there were a decrease in PVR by 40 % and decrease in PAPm by 19 %. Inhalation of nitric oxide did not affect the systemic circulation hemodynamics both in the main and in the control groups. The median duration of the mechanical ventilation (MV) was 7.3 (4.5; 13.8) h and the median length of stay (LOS) in the ICU was 23.2 (21.3; 46) h in the main group. In the retrospective control group, the median duration of MV was 8.2 (5; 14.1) h, and the length of ICU stay was 24 (22; 45.3) h; found no differences between the groups. Conclusion. Nitric oxide synthesized from room air significantly reduces PVR and PAPm in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension after cardiac surgery. There were no significant differences in the effect on a pulmonary circulation, clinical data and side effects between the methods of synthesis of nitric oxide from room air and dosing from balloons.
