Pharyngeal Tonsil

The pharyngeal tonsil is a lymphatic tissue mass located in the roof of the nasopharynx. The function of the pharyngeal tonsil is to prevent infections with the help of antibodies. Chronic inflammation and allergies lead to hyperplasia of the adenoids that is found almost exclusively in children. The treatment of choice is surgical treatment; conservative treatment is only indicated preoperatively or if surgery is contraindicated. In this paper, we will present a new surgical method for adenoidectomy performed trans-orally with coblation, under endoscopic control.

Long Term Result

The authors indicated that pronounced deformities of the ducts of the large salivary glands occur in 70% of patients with chronic sialadenitis. Due to the fact that conservative treatment of ductal sialadenitis, especially pronounced, does not give long-term results, the authors proposed various methods of surgical treatment of ductal sialadenitis, which have a low level of trauma of collateral tissues and provides a stable long-term result.

Chemical Ablation

Septoturbinar synechia is a pathological adherence between the mucosa of the turbinate and the nasal septum. Synechiae result after endoscopic sinus surgery or can be caused by trauma, infections, autoimmune pathologies, drug abuse, chemical burns, radiotherapy or intensive nose packing. The treatment for septoturbinar synechiae is surgery with the ablation of adherences. In this paper we will present a new surgical method for the ablation of synechiae under endoscopic control, using coblation.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures cause less trauma to the patient and might improve recovery. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of condylectomy with MIS to treat interdigital corns of the lesser toes. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted in seven podiatry centers. Patients with interdigital corns of the lesser toes, progressing for more than a year, with one or more recurrences in the last year following conservative treatments were eligible. The recruited patients were classified according to their treatment: conservative or surgical (condylectomy with MIS) and were compared. Patient satisfaction, pain, the clinical and functional status of the foot and the appearance of sequelae were assessed at 3 and 6 months after treatment. Results At 6 months, patients in the surgical treatment group showed no pain on pressure, which significantly differed from the conservative treatment group (p <  0.001). They also improved clinical and functional status of the foot, reaching values comparable to those of the standard population. No paresthesia, joint stiffness or instability, toe malalignment, or corn transfer to a contiguous site resulted from the surgical treatment. Conclusions Condylectomy with MIS is effective and safe to treat interdigital corns of the lesser toes.

Abstract Background The medical community has recognized overweight as an epidemic negatively affecting a large proportion of the pediatric population, but few studies have been performed to investigate the relationship between overweight and failure of conservative treatment for distal radius fractures (DRFs). This study was performed to investigate the effect of overweight on the outcome of conservative treatment for DRFs in children. Methods We performed a retrospective study of children with closed displaced distal metaphyseal radius fractures in our hospital from January 2015 to May 2020. Closed reduction was initially performed; if closed reduction failed, surgical treatment was performed. Patients were followed up regularly after treatment, and redisplacement was diagnosed on the basis of imaging findings. Potential risk factors for redisplacement were collected and analyzed. Results In total, 142 children were included in this study. The final reduction procedure failed in 21 patients, all of whom finally underwent surgical treatment. The incidences of failed final reduction and fair reduction were significantly higher in the overweight/obesity group than in the normal-weight group (P = 0.046 and P = 0.041, respectively). During follow-up, 32 (26.4%) patients developed redisplacement after closed reduction and cast immobilization. The three risk factors associated with the incidence of redisplacement were overweight/obesity [odds ratio (OR), 2.149; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.320–3.498], an associated ulnar fracture (OR, 2.127; 95% CI, 1.169–3.870), and a three-point index of ≥ 0.40 (OR, 3.272; 95% CI, 1.975–5.421). Conclusions Overweight increases the risk of reduction failure and decreases the reduction effect. Overweight children were two times more likely to develop redisplacement than normal-weight children in the present study. Thus, overweight children may benefit from stricter clinical follow-up and perhaps a lower threshold for surgical intervention.

Abstract. The experience of treating 263 patients with acute abscesses and lung gangrene is generalized. Acute abscesses are mainly subject to conservative treatment; surgical interventions were performed in 13%. With gangrene of the lung, conservative treatment and palliative operations are futile. Preference is given to early radical operations performed before dangerous complications occur. Possible ways to reduce mortality in acute pulmonary suppuration are indicated.

Purpose. To study the features of surgical treatment of Brown's syndrome in children. Material and methods. 47 children with Brown's syndrome aged from one to 10 years were treated: 4 children had bilateral form, 43 had congenital form and 4 had acquired form. The operation was performed for 44 children. The indications for surgical treatment were double vision in a straight position, forced position of the head, impaired binocular vision. Results. Three children with acquired Brown's syndrome had a positive effect on the background of conservative treatment. Surgical treatment of Brown's syndrome was effective, but often required repeated interventions (31 patients, 70%): the first stage was weakening of the superior oblique muscle (tenotomy, recession, prolongation), the second stage was recession of the inferior oblique muscle, the third stage was recession of the contralateral inferior rectus muscles (4 patients, 9%). In a number of cases (5 children, 11%), at the outcome of surgical treatment, asymmetry of the palpebral fissures was noted due to mild enophthalmos in the operated eye (the result of weakening of the oblique muscles that «pull» the eyes out of the orbit and weakening of the contralateral inferior rectus muscle that «tightens» the eyeball). Conclusion. Surgery for Brown's syndrome is effective, but often requires reoperation. With acquired forms of Brown's syndrome, examination and the first stage of conservative treatment are required. The absolute indications for surgical treatment of Brown's syndrome are forced head position, double vision in a straight position and impaired binocular vision. Keywords: Brown's syndrome, double vision in a straight position, forced position of the head, impaired binocular vision, surgical treatment.

Tarsal Bones

Tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between tarsal bones, caused by an embryogenic failure. Its most common forms are calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal coalition, which are present in 53% and 37% of the cases, respectively. The onset of symptoms is related to tarsal bone ossification, and mean age for this event is estimated at 16 years for calcaneonavicular coalition. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients who did not improve symptoms with conservative treatment. The aim of this study is to present a surgical technique as a treatment option for resection of calcaneonavicular coalition associated with abnormal cuboid-navicular joint.

Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular pain syndrome occurring as a result of compression on the underlying sciatic nerve due to various causes including the hypertrophy, inflammation, mass lesions or anatomical variations occuring in the deep gluteal space. Patients with piriformis syndrome often experience pain and numbness in the hip, thigh and leg, similar to those of sciatica. In addition to clinical findings, electrophysiological examinations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for diagnosis. Once diagnosed, the treatment approach is stepwise and conservative treatment is successful in majority of cases. Surgical treatment should be performed for the cases in whom conservative treatment methods fail and when the sciatic nerve should be decompressed. Surgery is an important treatment option for unresolved piriformis syndrome with its simplicity and low morbidity. Several surgical procedures have been described for the decompression of affected sciatic nerve. Due to excessive fibrosis tissue that may be developed around the sciatic nerve in classical surgical procedures, person's return to social and work life may be delayed. In the present study, we will evaluate the surgical indication criteria of our cases who underwent minimally invasive surgical treatment due to piriformis syndrome, the definition of the surgical procedure and the outcomes.

Humerus Fractures

Abstract Background Proximal humerus fractures are one of the main osteoporotic fractures. Choosing between conservative or surgical treatment is a controversial topic in the literature, as is the functional impact. The main aim of our study was to analyse whether patient comorbidities should influence the final therapeutic decision for these fractures. Material and methods We collected data from 638 patients with proximal humerus fractures. The main variable collected was exitus. We also collected the following data: age, gender, type of fracture, laterality, type of treatment, production mechanism, comorbidities and the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) for each patient. The therapeutic indication used the criteria established by the Upper Limb Unit in our centre. We performed chi-square tests, Fischer’s exact tests and Student’s t-tests to compare the variables. We used the Kaplan–Meier method to analyse both the overall and disease-specific survival rates. We employed the Cox regression model to analyse factors associated with mortality. Results Patients with a CCI greater than 5 showed greater mortality (HR  = 3.83; p  < 0.001) than those with a CCI lower than 5. Within the patients who underwent surgery, those with a CCI higher than 5 had an increased mortality rate (HR  = 22.6; p < 0.001) compared with those with a CCI lower than 5. Within the patients who received conservative treatment, those with a CCI over 5 showed greater mortality (HR  = 3.64; p  < 0.001) than those with a CCI under 5. Conclusions Patients with proximal humerus fractures and associated comorbidities (CCI > 5) presented higher mortality than healthier patients. This mortality risk was greater in patients with comorbidities if surgical treatment was indicated rather than conservative treatment. Patient’s comorbidities should be a fundamental parameter when planning the therapeutic strategy. Level of evidence Level 3.
