Summary: The aim of the study was to determine the dependence of the volume of air discharge from the pleural cavity on the choice of surgical treatment in patients with penetrating chest injuries. Materials and methods. Of the 39 observations, video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) was performed in 24 patients due to existing hemothorax. Results and their discussion. Among patients with penetrating chest injuries and early complications in the form of isolated pneumothorax on the first day, VATS was performed in three cases, due to increased air discharge from the pleural cavity. On the second and third day, 3 and 1 patient needed PBX, respectively. The article presents the experience of using a Coriolis flowmeter to objectify the diagnosis of lung injuries in victims with gunshot wounds penetrating the chest. Depending on the speed and volume of air discharge from the pleural cavity, the dynamics can be determined by the tactics of treatment. Conclusions: 1. Observation in the dynamics of the rate (

To date, the basis of surgical tactics for chest injuries is the primary surgical treatment of the wound and drainage of the pleural cavity with dynamic monitoring and determination of indications for surgery, based on the amount of blood released by drainage, without any attempts to actively verify the nature of injuries.Treatment of patients on the basis of the so-called "individual approach" and active-waiting tactics, taking into account clinical, radiological and laboratory data, mainly meets the recommendations of the middle of the last century.From the standpoint of evidence-based medicine, thoracoscopy is the most effective method of topical diagnosis of traumatic hemothorax. Videothoracoscopic technologies significantly reduce the incidence of purulent intrapulmonary and pleural complications in penetrating lung injuries. Undoubted advantages of thoracoscopy are: full-fledged revision; accurate diagnosis, which eliminates doubts about the diagnosis and waiting period; determination of indications for drainage, operative thoracoscopy or thoracotomy.

Thoracic trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, if not treated promptly. 80% to 85% of chest injuries can be treated with chest tube insertion alone. However, in about four to 20% of population, there is incomplete clearance of hemothorax following tube insertion and can lead to a condition called retained hemothorax. The purpose of this review is to establish the role and effectiveness of Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in successful evacuation of retained hemothorax following blunt thoracic trauma. Relevant articles from databases like Pubmed, Google scholar, Medline and Cochrane library were included. A retained hemothorax is defined as the persistence of residual clots in the pleural cavity, which is radiologically evident, 72 hours following initial tube thoracostomy. The various options to manage this condition include observation, insertion of second thoracostomy tube, intrapleural fibrinolytic, VATS or thoracotomy. Based on review of existing studies, VATS evacuation was found to have shorter hospital stay, lesser costs and shorter duration of tube drainage. There was also lesser rate of conversion to thoracotomy as compared to other methods and fewer complications like fibrothorax and empyema. In hemodynamically unstable patients, which is a contraindication to VATS, use of intrapleural fibrinolytics like streptokinase may be considered as an alternative option to provide clearance of the retained hemothorax. Retained hemothorax, when encountered following thoracic trauma, can be effectively managed by VATS. The decision to use VATS for hemothorax evacuation should be made promptly for maximum results, especially within three to seven days following trauma.

The review article discusses the prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. The vascular, mechanical, obstructive, infectious, and enzymatic theories of the occurrence of emphysematous lung changes as the main cause of developing spontaneous pneumothorax are described; the role of smoking as the main etiological factor and its influence on the recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax are studied. The issues of choosing primary cure tactic are considered. The effectiveness of conservative treatment, puncture and drainage of the pleural cavity as methods of treatment and pleurodesis for the prevention of recurrences of spontaneous pneumothorax are described. A comparativeassessment of various methods of pleural cavity obliteration is given: chemical pleurodesis (by sterile talc, minocycline, povidone-iodine, 50% glucose solution, autologous blood and its components, autologous adipose tissue, pseudomonas aeruginosa sensitive hemagglutinin, picibanil), apical pleurectomy, pleuroabrasion. The experience of using YAG-ND and CO2 as methods of physical pleurodesis, intraoperative Staple Line Coverage with polyglyconic acid and fibrin gel is described. The necessity of active surgical tactic in the treatment of patients with spontaneous pneumothorax developed on the base of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia has been substantiated. The advantages, disadvantages, indications and contrindications to different ways of surgical treatment (thoracotomy, video-assisted minithoracotomy, thoracoscopy) are discussed. The strategy for choosing treatment methods depending on the volume of pneumothorax, the severity of bullous changes, the presence of concomitant diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the value of the Charlson comorbidity index is considered. The expediency of using video-assisted minithoracotomy as the safest and most effective method of surgical treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax has been substantiated. The effectiveness of surgical interventions depending on the timing of their implementation is considered.

Patients and methods A retrospective analysis was made of case reports of patients operated on for open chest trauma during 1997–2003. Two methods of surgical treatment (urgent video-assisted thoracoscopy and urgent thoracotomy) were compared. The duration of drain presence in the pleural cavity, the duration of postoperative treatment, pain intensity and cosmetic effect were assessed. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical software. Statistical evaluation of differences among the groups was performed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The differences among the groups were considered statistically significant at the probability of deviation p < 0.05. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative prognostic values of video-assisted thoracoscopy were evaluated. Results During 1997–2003, 146 patients with open chest trauma were operated on. Fourty seven patients underwent urgent video-assisted thoracoscopy, 98 patients were operated on through thoracotomy incision: 79 due to isolated open chest trauma, 17 due to thoracoabdominal injury, and 2 due to abdominothoracic injury. For 12.3% of patients, after urgent thoracotomy we made urgent laparatomy due to a the damaged diaphragm or other organs of the peritoneal cavity. Conversion of video-assisted thoracoscopy to operation through thoracotomy incision was employer in 9 cases. The duration of drain presence in the pleural cavity after video-assisted thoracoscopy was 4.57 days and after urgent thoracotomy 6.88 days (p < 0.05). The duration of post-operative treatment after video-assisted thoracoscopy was 8.21 days and after urgent thoracotomy 14.89 days (p < 0.05). The consumed non-narcotic analgesics after video-assisted thoracoscopy amounted to 1056.98 mg and after urgent thoracotomy to 1966.70 mg (p < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative prognostic values of video-assisted thoracoscopy were 0.67; 0.86; 0.95; 0.375. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopy is a minimal invasive method of thoracic surgery, allowing evaluation of the pathological changes in the lung, pericardium, diaphragm, mediastinum, thoracic wall and pleura, including the localization of these changes and the type and severity of the injury. The number of early post-operative complications following video-assisted thoracoscopy is lower. In comparison with operations through thoracotomy incision, video-assisted thoracoscopies entail the shortening of the duration of drain presence in the pleural cavity and the duration of post-operative treatment. Video-assisted thoracoscopy should be performed on all patients with open chest trauma, showing a stable hemodynamics and respiratory function. Video-assisted thoracoscopy is an informative diagnostic and treatment method allowing for the selection of patients for urgent thoracotomy.

Treatment of patients with acute purulent mediastinitis (APM) is one of the most complex problems of modern surgery. Mortality in patients with APM can reach 17–80%. The aim of the work was to improve the results of treatment of patients with acute purulent mediastinitis using video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS). During 2000–2018, 87 patients with APM were treated at the thoracic department of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Hospital. The main methods of surgical treatment in primary APM were lateral thoracotomy, mediastinotomy, suturing of the perforation opening of the esophagus with active drainage of the mediastinum and pleural cavity. The VATS with perforations of the esophagus (EP) with APM was applied in 9 (29.1%) patients and with secondary APM in 8 (13.8%) patients. The advantages of the VATS are minimal operational trauma, reducing the time of operation. According to the diagnosis of the EP, complicated APM, the minimally invasive surgical intervention in some cases can provide sufficient radicalism of intervention with minimal traumatism. The purpose of the VATS should be considered sanation and drainage of paraoesophageal fiber and fiber mediastinum. Thus, the choice of the method of surgical treatment of patients with acute purulent mediastinitis should be strictly individual in each case. Video-assisted thoracoscopy is a method of choice in surgical treatment of patients with acute purulent mediastinitis, which is a little traumatic method, provides a good visualization of all mediastinal units, allows for adequate detection and drainage of affected areas. Prospects for further research — improvement of methods of surgical treatment of patients with APM using the method of the VATS.

Summary. The arms — to analyze the evolution of the development of modern surgical instruments in gunshot wounds chest. Materials and methods. 80 cases of using a modern magnetic surgical instrument for penetrating gunshot wounds of the chest were analyzed. Intraoperatively used: a magnetic multifunctional tool for the diagnosis and removal of metallic ferromagnetic foreign bodies, a flexible device for removing ferromagnetic foreign bodies, a magnetic tool for endovideoscopic diagnosis and removal of metallic ferromagnetic foreign bodies from the abdominal and pleural cavities, a magnetic nozzle for video endoscopic surgical interventions. When removing metal foreign bodies, the following methods were used: a method for preliminary determination of the material and properties of a foreign body, a method for video endoscopic laser visualization of the internal organs of the abdominal and pleural cavities. Results. Foreign bodies of the pleural cavity were diagnosed in 80 (100 %) wounded according to СT. Ferromagnetic metal foreign bodies of a gunshot origin of the pleural cavity were removed both during thoracotomy or minithoracotomy, and during thoracoscopic surgical interventions using the method of video endoscopic laser visualization of the internal organs of the abdominal and pleural cavities. The most convenient tool was the endoscopic magnetic tool for removing foreign bodies from the pleural or abdominal cavities. A magnetic nozzle for video endoscopic surgical interventions allows navigation both in the pleural cavity and along the wound channel. Conclusions. 1. The development of a surgical magnetic instrument was phased and began with the improvement of a surgical magnetic instrument to remove ferromagnetic foreign bodies of soft tissues. 2. The improvement of the tool took place as the restrictions on the use of the existing tool were established, which was a prerequisite for the development of a new tool. 3. It is advisable to create a special set of surgical magnetic instruments for video endoscopic surgery.

Building a modern system of rehabilitation of servicemen in Ukraine is an integral part of providing medical care in armed conflict. Rehabilitation of servicemen after gunshot wounds with soft tissue defects of the lower extremities is a common but difficult problem for surgical and rehabilitation teams. The process of rehabilitation requires the implementation of certain methodological provisions. At present, medical care for servicemen is a four-levels’ one. Rehabilitation service is provided at the third and fourth levels of medical care. The aim of the study was to improve the quality of medical care for servicemen after gunshot wounds with soft tissue defects of the lower extremities by introducing a system of staged rehabilitation. Organizational and methodological bases of the system of staged rehabilitation of wounded servicemen with soft tissue defects at different levels of medical care have been developed. Two models of rehabilitation depending on the severity of the injury and the tactics of surgical treatment are proposed. The division of the stage of early sanatorium rehabilitation for the wounded with severe soft tissue injuries depending on the stage of surgical treatment and the formation of a "skin patch" is justified. The introduction of the proposed models of rehabilitation of wounded with soft tissue defects in the practice of early sanatorium rehabilitation will provide increasing of medical care quality.
