Summary. The aim — improvement of diagnostic and surgical treatment of wounded abdominal injuries by introducing emergency ultrasound techniques and mini-invasive surgery under the control of ultrasound imaging. Materials and methods. A clinical and statistical analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 293 wounded with combat injuries of the abdomen who underwent treatment in military mobile hospitals was carried out. In the comparison of the wounded with combat injuries of the abdomen, additional diagnostic tests were carried out in the comparison groups — FAST protocol, puncture sanitation and draining surgical interventions under ultrasound navigation. Results and discussion. In the main group, unlike the control group, all wounded were followed by the FAST protocol. Widespread introduction into the diagnostic program of FAST-protocol and diagnostic punctures under ultrasound navigation allows to reduce the level of more traumatic diagnostic laparocentheses from 24.7 to 2.2 % and unreasonable surgical interventions from 3.2 to 0.7 %. Based on the results of the study, we have developed an algorithm for diagnostic and therapeutic actions for the wounded with combat trauma to the abdomen according to the results of the FAST-protocol. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate that the widespread adoption of the FAST protocol, transcutaneous puncture sanitation interventions under ultrasound guidance in the diagnosis and treatment of combat abdominal trauma and its complications contribute to a decrease in the number of invasive and more traumatic (often unreasonable) diagnostic and treatment methods, which leads to faster recovery and shortened treatment time.

Results of randomized prospective study with participation of 94 patients aged from 20 to 70 years with monosegmental lumbar spine lesions are presented. Minimum invasive surgical interventions were performed in 55 patients from the main group. Control group consisted of 39 patients in whom decompressive-stabilizing operations via conventional posteromedian approach with skeletization of posterior segments of vertebral column were performed. Average size of operative wound in open interventions more than 10 times exceeded that size in minimum invasive interventions and made up 484 ± 56 and 36 ± 12 sq.cm, respectively. Mean blood loss was 326.6 ± 278.0 ml in the main group and 855.1 ± 512.0 ml in the comparative one. In the main group no one patient required substitution hemotransfusion, while in 13 patients from the comparative group donor erythrocytic mass and/or fresh-frozen plasma were used to eliminate the deficit of blood components. Intensity of pain syndrome in the zone of surgical intervention by visual analog scale in the main group was lower than in comparative group. In the main and comparative groups the duration of hospitalization made up 6.1 ± 2.7 and 9.7 ± 3.7 bed days, respectively. In no one patient from the main group complications in the zone of operative wound were noted. Three patients from the comparative group required secondary debridement and in 1 patient early deep operative wound suppuration was observed. Application of low invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of patients with degenerative lumbar spine lesions enabled to perform radical surgical treatment with minimal iatrogenic injury. The method possessed indubitable advantages over the conventional open operations especially intraoperatively and in early postoperative period.

Summary. Purpose: to improve the results of surgical treatment of stenosis of the pyloroduodenal zone of ulcerative origin through the use of minimally invasive laparoendoscopic interventions. Material and methods. In the Department of Surgery of the Digestive Organs of the State Institution “Institute of Gastroenterology of the NAMS of Ukraine” for 2014-2019, 114 patients with stenosis of the pyloroduodenal zone of ulcerative origin were examined. Of these, 35 — with compensated stenosis, 57 — with subcompensated, 22 — with decompensated stenosis. The average age (45.3±5.2) years. The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals. All patients underwent surgical treatment using minimally invasive and traditional surgical interventions. Results and discussion. During the study, known indications were clarified and new indications for performing endoscopic balloon pyloroduodenoplasty and combined laparoendoscopic intervention were clarified. Complications in the immediate postoperative period occurred in 1 patient (1.04%) in the form of perforation of the dilated zone. In patients after the traditional laparotomy surgery, the average postoperative period was (15 ± 2) days. Complications in the immediate postoperative period occurred in 2 patients (11.1 %) in the form of bleeding and leaks in the pyloroplasty zone, which required repeated surgical treatment. Тhere were no fatal cases. The remote observation period was 7-22 months. Endoscopic, radiological and clinical signs of recurrence of peptic ulcer and stenosis were not detected. Conclusions. The method of minimally invasive endoscopic and combined laparoendoscopic interventions in the treatment of stenosis of the pyloroduodenal zone of ulcerative genesis is characterized by a minimal number of complications, has good efficacy indicators and the absence of disease recurrence in the long-term period.

The study was designed to observe the effects of surgical stress on serum level of cortisol in patients undergoing surgical treatment and to find out any differences in hormonal response between elective and emergency surgical procedures. A total number of 60 male subjects aged between 18 and 45 years were included in the study. Of them, 20 were healthy control (Group I), 20 underwent elective surgical treatment (Group II) and emergency surgical interventions were applied in rest 20 subjects (Group III). Study Groups were further divided into subgroups A (preoperative samples were collected 1- hour before operation), B (postoperative samples were collected 1-hour after the end of the operation) and C (postoperative samples were collected 24-hours after operation).Serum cortisol level was estimated by invitro-immunolytic test.Statistical analysis was done by paired, unpaired ‘t' test and regression analysis. The preoperative mean serum cortisol concentration in elective surgical cases was almost similar to that of healthy control. On the contrary, in the emergency surgical cases, a significantly increased mean cortisol level were observed (I vs IIIA and IIA vs IIIA; P < 0.05). The serum cortisol concentrations were increased both in elective and emergency surgical cases after operations but the magnitude of rise was more marked in emergency group of patients (IIB vs IIIB; P < 0.05). Therefore, this study reveals that surgical intervention causes increase in serum cortisol which is more marked in emergency procedure.

Objective. To determine the character and optimal volume of standard open surgical interventions in an acute complicated pancreatitis (ACP) with elaboration of the main technical elements of the operations. Маterials and methods. There were operated 96 patients, suffering ACP. The main group consisted of 47 patients, in whom open interventions were performed primarily in 19, and as the second-stage procedure after application of miniinvasive interventional technologies (МIТ) – in 28. The comparison group consisted of 49 patients, in whom standard operations were done only. Results. Application of MIТ have promoted the indications narrowing for performance of primary open operations more than twice. In the main group the arcuate-like subcostal access was applied predominantly - in 26 (55%) observations (χ²=14.287; р=002), while in a control one – a median upper laparotomy – in 37 (76%) observations (χ²=38.43, р < 0.001). The method of closed draining in accordance to procedure of Beger was used predominantly in the main group of patients – in 43% of observations, comparing with a control group - 9% of observations (χ²=12.965; р=0.003). In 23% patients of the main group and in 26% patients of a control one (χ²=0.0013; р=0.05), when the extended purulent-necrotic inflammation process have presented, a staged sanation was applied, using programmed relaparotomies. Some technical elements of the surgical intervention were improved. Conclusion. Application of standard open operations in accordance to elaborated principle is accompanied by improvement of the treatment results in patients, suffering ACP.

BACKGROUND: The number of reversible shoulder joint endoprostheses installed in the world at the present stage is several times greater than the number of hemiarthroplasty performed. Nevertheless shoulder arthroplasty is considered a traumatic operation and can be accompanied by a number of complications, both from the side of implants and due to the traumatic nature of the surgical technique. During surgical interventions on the shoulder joint with a wide dissection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, iatrogenic damage to structures such as the axillary nerve, posterior and anterior arteries and veins surrounding the humerus can often be detected, which triggers a whole cascade of pathophysiological and regulatory processes in which Interventions immediately release inflammatory mediators. Therefore, orthopedic traumatologists strive to reduce the risk of intra- and postoperative complications, and it is necessary to improve the surgical technique of surgical interventions towards their less traumatic performance. AIM: Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of low-traumatic surgical access when performing reverse shoulder arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the period 20172020, 169 patients with various diseases, injuries of the shoulder joint and their consequences were operated on in the Department of Adult Orthopedics of the N.N. Priorov National Research Medical Center of the Russian Federation, who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty according to generally accepted indications. In the main group (84 patients), surgical treatment was performed using a low-traumatic surgical approach, while the control group (85 patients) underwent standard procedures. Functional, clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment of patients of the main and control groups were evaluated and compared after 3, 6 and 12 months. RESULTS: In the main group, excellent results (25 points on DASH) were observed in 73 patients, good results (2650 points) in 10 patients. In 1 patient, the results were assessed as satisfactory (5175 points). In the control group of observation, the clinical result was worse (68 excellent, 16 good and 1 satisfactory result). CONCLUSION: On the basis of the performed study, taking into account the better results in the main group of patients, the technique of low-traumatic surgical access for reverse shoulder arthroplasty can be recommended for wide use in clinical practice.

Background/aims: Quadriceps pathology is common in patients who have suffered diaphyseal femoral fractures because of the long waiting times before surgery, during which they remain immobilised. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation applied in the pre-surgical period on the recovery time of the patients. Methods Before surgical treatment, patients with closed diaphyseal femoral fractures were systematically distributed alternatively into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group (n=22) received pre-surgical neuromuscular electrical stimulation and the control group (n=25) received conventional physiokinetic treatment. Results Age, gender proportions and time between admission and surgery were similar in both groups. Average treatment time was 14.14 ± 9.7 days. Recovery time (from surgery to medical discharge) was 111 ± 15.65 days for participants in the intervention group, and 139.36 ± 23.05 days for participants in the control group (P<0.0001). No differences were found between men and women nor between the fractured femur (right vs left). Conclusions The results highlight the value of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the pre-surgical period for patients with diaphyseal femoral fractures, optimising their rehabilitation and facilitating a quicker return to their everyday lives.

Annotation. Extrahepatic cholestasis (EHC), caused by functional or organic disorders, always plays a key role in the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of complicated forms of cholelithiasis caused by impaired bile outflow. Purpose of the work: to improve the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with complicated cholelithiasis by intraoperative diagnosis of EHC and determination of the optimal parameters of dosed balloon dilatation aimed at maintaining the functional and anatomical integrity of the sphincter of Oddi (SО). During the period from 2014 to 2020, 181 patients were examined, who were operated on in the department of surgery of the digestive system of the State Institution “Institute of Gastroenterology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”. The first group of patients (n=81, 44.75%) consisted of patients who underwent sphincter-preserving interventions, both antegrade (when performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy – LHE) and retrograde (when performing retrograde cholangiopancreatography – RCPG), the second group of patients (n=79, 43.64%) consisted of patients who underwent traditional sphincter-destructive staged interventions (total and subtotal papillotomy before or after LHE). The control group consisted of 21 patients (11.6%), in whom structural and functional abnormalities of SО were not detected during manodebitometry with X-ray verification, so they underwent LHE according to the standard technique. During the operation, all patients underwent manodebitometry, the indicators of which were compared with the data of X-ray cholangioscopy. The use of the combined method of manodebitometry in the intraoperative diagnosis of the main causes of various types of of extrahepatic cholestasis in complicated cholelithiasis (CL), made it possible to diagnose an organic disorder as the cause of the development of EHC in 34 (18.78%) patients and functional disorders of SО in 38 (20.99%) patients. The indicators of the cause of EHC in complicated cholelithiasis, established before the operation and clarified during the operation by X-ray studies, were compared with the indicators of manodebitometry in both groups of patients, while the indicator of manodebitometric coefficient in the control group was within 2.35-2.60 (Ме Q25; Q75) and on average 2.51. The use of the proposed diagnostic criteria for the manodebitometric coefficient and parameters of dosed balloon dilatation of large duodenal papilla (LDP) makes it possible to reduce the need for two-stage treatment of EHC in complicated cholelithiasis, to preserve the physiological passage of bile into the duodenum, preventing the formation of postoperative biliary hypertension by preserving the integrity of the sphincter apparatus of LDP and to reduce the amount postoperative complications and the number of staged surgical interventions by 25.92%.
