Relevance. Treatment of achalasia of the cardia (AС) is currently palliative, aimed at reducing the manifestation of clinical symptoms of the disease. Together with instrumental methods of examination of esophageal function, the Eckardt scale and the GIGLI questionnaire are convenient and simple tools for evaluating results in the long-term postoperative period.The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with 2-4 stages of AС, after laparoscopic Нeller myotomy with anterior hemiesophagofundoplication by Dor to the results of special methods of esophageal examination and patient questionnaires using the Eckardt scale and the GIGLI questionnaire.Materials and methods. The work included the results of examinations of 103 patients who underwent video laparoscopic Нeller myotomy, with anterior hemiesophagofundoplication by Dor. The period of examination in the postoperative period was from 3 to 7 years. The results of X-ray examination of the esophagus and stomach, manometry of the esophageal and esophageal-gastric junction before and after surgery were studied , and patients were also surveyed according to the Eckardt scale and the GIGLI questionnaire.Results. The analysis of the results of instrumental methods of studying the function of the esophagus in the pre – and postoperative periods showed that the given manometry of the esophagus and esophageal-gastric junction, X-ray of the esophagus and stomach significantly improved in the postoperative period in patients with all stages of the disease. The results of patients of 4th stage AC compared with the results of 2nd and 3rd stages patients were worse(p<0,05).The leading symptom of AK-dysphagia in the long-term postoperative period decreased in all the studied patients, the results were better in patients with stage 2, worse in patients with stage 4 of AK (p<0,05).The leading symptom of AK-dysphagia in the long-term postoperative period decreased in all the studied patients, the 2nd stage patients results were better, 4th stage patients results were worse (p<0,05).Conclusions. After video-endoscopic Нeller myotomy with fundoplication by Dor, the indicators of esophageal manometry and esophageal and stomach radiography significantly improve, the results of the Eckardt scale and GIGLI questionnaire survey of patients show a significant decrease in the severity of clinical manifestations of AC in the balls. This method of surgical treatment can be recommended already at the 2nd stage of AC and as an organpreserving operation for 4th stage.

Diaphragmatic Hernias

Anterior diaphragmatic hernia (ADH) is a rare congenital pathology that occurs in children with a frequency of 1:4800 (1–6% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernias). There are many controversial aspects in the surgical treatment of patients with ADH: the choice of surgical approach, the method of diaphragmatic repair and the feasibility of excision of the hernial sac. Objective. To conduct a comparative analysis of the surgical treatment of patients with ADH in different clinics, assessing longterm outcomes. Patients and methods. The medical records of 7 children with ADH who underwent surgical repair in different clinics (in time period from 2009 to 2019) were retrospecively reviewed. Evaluating the long-term results of ADH repair was made by telephone and online surveys of the parents of patients and by outpatient examination of children (chest x-ray in two projections). Results. In a ten-year period, 7 patients (4 boys and 3 girls) were operated on with a diagnosis of “anterior diaphragmatic hernia” at the age of 3 months to 12 years. In most children, a hernia was discovered accidentally by chest x-ray. Laparoscopic correction was performed in 5 (71%) cases, thoracoscopic correction – in 2 cases (29%). The main difference in surgical tactics in ADH patients was the manipulation with the hernial sac – the hernial sac was excised in 4 (57%) patients, but it was left in three cases (43%). The defect closure was performed by “full-thickness” separated sutures that fix the diaphragm to the anterior abdominal wall during laparoscopy (5) and to the chest tissue during thoracoscopy (2); in some cases, additional fixation to the rib (4) was performed. Sutures were tied extracorporeally and buried in the subcutaneous layer in 6 (86%) patients. Average follow-up was 7 years. While evaluating long-term outcomes no ADH recurrence were found. Conclusions. There are still many controversial aspects in the surgical treatment of ADH patients. In our opinion, multicenter studies with complex analysis of long-term results are required to standardize the surgical treatment of such patients.

Body Sensation

The surgical treatment of a pharyngeal pouch with endoscopic stapling diverticulotomy is a relatively new concept. Long-term results and complications are yet to be fully studied. We describe a patient who developed persistent pharyngeal pain and foreign body sensation due to retention of a clump of staples at the cricopharyngeal sphincter. This complication has not been reported before. This case highlights the need for repeat endoscopy rather than a barium swallow X-ray if the patients are symptomatic after stapling procedures.

Introduction. Currently, there are different views on the treatment of non-parasitic spleen cysts in children. The choice of method of treatment is under discussion. The aim of our study was to evaluate and analyze the immediate and long-term results of surgical interventions performed on nonparasitic spleen cysts in children. Material and methods. There are presented results of surgical treatment of the 21 patient, who was on treatment at the Department of Abdominal Surgery of the Russian Children Clinical Hospital over the period from 2013 to 2016. Patients were examined by means of ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, CT, MRI. All patients have been operated. 22 surgical interventions were performed by using laparoscopic access, out of which 2 partial resections of the spleen, 1 splenectomy, 19 fenestrations of spleen cysts.Results. During the course of the operation and in the immediate postoperative period there were no complications. Patients were observed for the period of from 1 year to 3 years. Good results of treatment were obtained in 20 (95.2%) children. In a long-term period a relapse occurred in the one patient one year after the operation. The patient was reoperated, splenectomy was performed. Conclusion. The surgical treatment of spleen cysts is the basic one. It is indicated for cysts sized larger than 5 cm and cysts with clinical symptoms. Minimally invasive interventions in children are optimal because of their low traumatism and good cosmetic effect. Our study showed a high efficiency of laparoscopic operations in children suffered from non-parasitic spleen cysts with good long-term results.

Transit Constipation

Surgical treatment of patients with chronic slow-transit constipation leads to unsatisfactory results in almost a third of cases. It appears relevant to the search for the causes of unsatisfactory results of surgical interventions in such patients and the need to develop a rational diagnostic algorithm; its implementation will allow us to determine the indications for surgical treatment and justify the volume of colon resection. For this purpose, the results of the examination and treatment of 53 patients with constipation were analyzed. The median disease duration was 15 years, and the median duration of constipation was 6.2 1.6 days. Patients were divided into a group with a positive effect of conservative treatment and a group without the expected effect. The symptoms, results of laboratory tests of blood and feces, and instrumental studies of the colon were analyzed. A balloon expulsion test was used to exclude proctogenic constipation. The evacuation function of the colon was studied by X-ray examination, while the transit time of barium sulfate or X-ray contrast markers through the gastrointestinal tract was estimated. Twenty-four patients underwent surgery for chronic slow-transit constipation, while the sigmoid colon was removed in one patient, including 7-left-sided hemicolectomy and 16-subtotal resection of the colon. Long-term results were examined in the period from 3 to 6 months after surgery. In the total examination of the semiotics of chronic slow-transit constipation, the results did not show significant differences between the groups of patients and did not allow us to justify the stratification into severe and non-severe disease course by its specific symptoms. The use of X-ray contrast markers for the assessment of the state of the evacuation function of the colon makes it possible to quantify the severity of various motor disorders and justify the choice of the volume of its resection. The analysis of the long-term results of the treatment of patients with chronic slow-transit constipation allows us to conclude that segmental resections of the colon (left-sided hemicolectomy, resection of the sigmoid colon) have a good therapeutic effect if the preoperative examination revealed a segmental type of failure of the evacuation function of the colon, and subtotal resection of the colon is appropriate for the common type. The absence of negative results of surgical treatment of patients with chronic slow-transit constipation, in which the formation of a colonic anastomosis was performed with a short stump of the sigmoid colon, indicates the possibility of using this option to complete the surgical intervention.

The article presents a single-center experience of surgical treatment of patients with severe mitral regurgitation(MR) caused by mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The study is based on long-term results of reconstructive interventions on the mitral valve (MV) of the UCCC of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The purpose of this work is to determine the factors that influence the long-term results of surgical treatment of MR in prolapse of the mitral valve leaflets. Material and methods.From January 1, 2011, to January 1, 2018, 146 patients with severe MR were operated on the basis of the UCCC, which was conditioned by the prolapse of mitral valve leaflets. Results.Long-term results were analyzed in 95.2% of patients. The average postoperative follow-up period was 39.7 ± 19.8 months. The overall mortality rate was 1.4%. Freedom from moderate and severe MR in the remote postoperative period decreased to 94.2%, compared to the early postoperative period. Residual MR was absent in 17 (12.4%) patients. In 76 (55.5%) patients trivial MR was detected, in 36 (26.3%) there was a mild MR, in 3 (2.2%) a moderate MR. In 5 (3.6%) patients, a severe MR was detected during the observation. Using statistical methods, it was found that the anatomical variant of MVP influences the prognosis of treatment results in the long postoperative period with worse results in the group with isolated prolapse of the anterior leaflet. Also, the dependence of the results on the applied surgical techniques with better results in annuloplication using the annuloplasty rings and in the application of resection of the posterior mitral leaflet. On the basis of statistics, a prognostic model for the evaluation of MV repair results in the distant period was developed. The height of coaptation of mitral leaflets was determined as one of the indicators for predicting the results of surgical treatment of MR with MVP. Conclusions: 1. In most cases, a successful mitral valve repair is possible with the MVP. 2. A good immediate result does not mean keeping it in the long term. 3. The long-term results of MV reconstruction depend on the anatomical variant of the MVP, with worse results in patients with isolated prolapse of the anterior mitral leaflet. 4. The result of MV repair depends on the surgical techniques used, with better results when using the annuloplasty rings and resection of the posterior mitral leaflet. 5. The height of the coaptation of the MV leaflets is an indicator that allows predicting the outcome of surgical treatment in the long postoperative period.

The paper presents the follow-up results of the mini-access surgery for chronic calculous cholecystitis (72 patients) and for calculous cholecystitis (133 patients) performed 3-6 years ago. The long-term results were estimated on two international questionnaires of quality of life (SF-36, GSRS), and on the data of clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods of investigation. All patients operated on for chronic calculous cholecystitis had good long-term results. 99.3 % of the patients with acute calculous cholecystitis had good and satisfactory results of surgical treatment. Only 1 (0.7 %) patient had an unfavourable result, because of choledocholithiasis, identified 2 years after surgery.

BACKGROUND: Today, the question of the tactics of surgical treatment of patients with idiopathic scoliosis during active bone growth, namely, the need for ventral interventions due to the emergence of modern dorsal instruments, remains open. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the role of ventral interventions in the surgical treatment of patients with progressive idiopathic scoliosis Lenke type 1, 2, 3 during the period of active bone growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The long-term results of operational correction 352 patients with thoracic idiopathic scoliosis aged from 10 to 14 years old operated in Novosibirsk Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics n.a. Ya.L. Tsivyan from 1998 to 2018 using various methods and different instrumentation types. RESULTS: Among patients (352 people) aged 10 to 14 years with idiopathic thoracic scoliosis (Lenke type 1, 2, 3), statistically significant postoperative progression was observed in patients who underwent surgical deformity correction using laminar (hook) fixation. At the same time, additional ventral stage conduction could not prevent deformity progression in the postoperative period. In those groups where hybrid fixation was used combined with the ventral stage and total transpedicular fixation, no significant progression was observed in the postoperative period. CONCLUSION: Modern dorsal systems for transpedicular fixation narrow the indications for using additional mobilizing and stabilizing ventral interventions in the surgical treatment of progressive idiopathic scoliosis in patients with active bone growth. Total transpedicular fixation provides excellent main curve and anti-curvature arch correction in the absence of scoliotic deformity progression in the postoperative long-term follow-up.

Introduction: Congenital clubfoot is a complex orthopedic problem, and the frequency of recurrence or secondary deformities may reach up to 60% in some cases.Purpose: To determine indicators for the surgical treatment of recurrent foot deformity using the Ilizarov external fixator and to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach.Materials and Methods: The feet of 78 children with recurrent congenital clubfoot were analyzed using X-ray and ultrasound to investigate their clinical and functional characteristics. According to the characteristics of the deformity, we performed tenoligamentocapsulotomy combined with tarsal osteotomies and tendon plastics. Furthermore, we determined the indicators for the surgical treatment of foot deformity using the Ilizarov external fixator.Results: In total, 33 children (56 feet) were treated using a distraction external fixator combined with tenoligamentocapsulotomy. Following treatment, long term results were assessed using a three-point scale: good, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory. The number of children of 8 years of age whose treatment was graded as either good or satisfactory was higher than children who were over 9 years of age. Functional recovery was also better in the younger age group.Conclusion: By determining specific indications for different treatment methods, physicians are able to apply an individual approach for diagnosing and treating recurrent congenital clubfoot. Good and satisfactory long term results were obtained in approximately 90 % of cases.
