Introduction: The trauma of orthognathic surgery on muscle function has frequently been overlooked by oral surgeons. The attitude of many surgeons is that the muscle fibers will adapt to the new structure in a short time. The purpose of this paper is to dispute this attitude and to address the need for the oral rnyologist to assume an important role in the healing and post-surgical treatment of the patient.

ABSTRACT Surgical treatment is well accepted for patients with traumatic cervical facet joint dislocations (CFD), but there is uncertainty over which approach is better: anterior, posterior or combined. We performed a systematic literature review to evaluate the indications for anterior and posterior approaches in the management of CFD. Anterior approaches can restore cervical lordosis, and cause less postoperative pain and less wound problems. Posterior approaches are useful for direct reduction of locked facet joints and provide stronger fixation from a biomechanical point of view. Combined approaches can be used in more complex cases. Although both anterior and posterior approaches can be used interchangeably, there are some patients who may benefit from one of them over the other, as discussed in this review. Surgeons who treat cervical spine trauma should be able to perform both procedures as well as combined approaches to adequately manage CFD and improve patients’ final outcomes.

The topic that I will touch upon in this report is of great interest not only for the surgeon, but also for the internist, firstly, because the issue of the surgical treatment of malaria splenomegaly is still under development; secondly, due to the fact that surgical treatment for malaria is practiced mainly by surgeons working in the so-called. malaria areas.

INTRODUCTION: A conventional ortho-surgical treatment, although with good clinical results, does not often achieve the desired functional outcomes. Patients with dentofacial deformities, especially those with increased occlusal planes (OP), are also affected by muscle, joint and breathing functional disorders, as well as facial esthetic involvement. The surgical manipulation of the OP in orthognathic surgery is an alternative to overcome the limitations of conventional treatment. OBJECTIVE: To report the importance of assessing the occlusal plane during diagnosis, planning and ortho-surgical treatment of patients with facial skeletal deformities and its main advantages. CONCLUSION: Although both philosophies of ortho-surgical treatment (conventional and by surgical manipulation of the OP) have presented good results, the selective correction of the OP allows a full treatment of these patients, providing better esthetic and functional results.

Objectives to discuss a five-year experience in surgical treatment of temporal bone paragangliomas from the point of view of U. Fisch and D. Mattox classification modified by М. Sanna in 2013. Material and methods. In the period from February 2015 till December 2020, we performed 130 operations to remove temporal bone paraganglioma. The examined and operated patients included 34 men and 96 women aged from 2 to 82 years. The paraganglioma types A, B and C were distributed as follows: type A in 22 patients (A1 12 cases, A2 10 cases); type B in 73 patients (B1 25 cases, B2 16 cases, B3 32 cases); type C in 35 patients (С1 10 cases, С2 12 cases, С3 7 cases, С4 5 cases) Results. The evaluated results included the quality of tumor removal, the auditory function and the function of the facial nerve in relation to the size of the neoplasm, registered during the early and late postoperative periods. Based on the study data, we developed an algorithm of tactics of surgical treatment of patients with this type of temporal bone pathology aimed to avoid damage to the vital structures of the lateral skull base.

This article is dedicated to matters of studying life quality in patients with manifest adenomyosis forms. For the first time authors have proposed the original questionnaire for assessment of patient life quality, authors performed the check of obtained data sensibility and reliability. Such life quality assessment use on different stages of surgical treatment of adenomyosis allowed make conclusions about the advantage one or another type of intrusion, evaluate the treatment efficiency and results from the point of view of normalizing female patient life quality.

The review of the literature examines the study of the quality of life of patients in the older age group after cardiac surgery for heart disease. In recent years, the number of elderly people has increased significantly in many countries. As a result of this phenomenon, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are increasingly confronted in their practice with elderly patients. There are features of the management of cardiac and cardiac surgical patients of advanced age, caused both by the specifics of the underlying disease and by concomitant diseases. With the emergence of new options for evaluating the effectiveness of various methods of surgical correction of heart disease in age patients, new questions arise that require evidentiary consideration and an optimal answer. Opinions of experts about the feasibility of surgical interventions in the elderly are often different. The urgency of the problem is due to the recent increase in the number of heart operations in the group of age-related patients. The study of the quality of life of patients in the postoperative period helps to determine the most rational and optimal method of surgical treatment, not only from the point of view of the cardiac surgeon, but also from the standpoint of assessing the patient himself. In addition, frequent postoperative complications and recurrences of diseases force specialists to focus on the quality of life of patients after surgery, which makes the problem extremely urgent.
