There are presented results of surgical treatment of 347 patients with colorectal cancer. Based on the retrospective analysis a comparative study of results of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer using laparoscopic technologies and “open” access was carried out. Predictive factors that correlate with the risk of postoperative complications with laparoscopic and “open” access at the surgical stage of treatment for colorectal cancer were determined.

AbstractIdiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the most common cause of acquired thrombocytopenia in children. In 20% of cases, this condition is classified as chronic when the thrombocytopenia is persistent 6 months after diagnosis. The aim of the present study is to identify the potential factors correlating with a favorable outcome in patients with chronic ITP. Some 71 patients affected by ITP were retrospectively analyzed. Results show a higher rate of spontaneous recovery that is statistically significant for patients with platelet count at diagnosis <20,000/µL. These observations suggest the possibility to delay or avoid aggressive surgical treatment for these patients.

Background: Although debilitating, proximal hamstring tendon avulsion injuries are rare and often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Consequently, delayed diagnosis and surgical treatment may result in poor outcomes. Studies investigating a correlation between postoperative functional outcomes and this delay in surgical treatment or other concomitant factors in large cohorts have not yet been performed to our knowledge. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to conduct an investigation in a large patient group regarding factors that could influence a patient’s functional outcome after hamstring surgery. We hypothesized that this outcome would significantly correlate to the time between trauma and surgery. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Patients who received surgical treatment of proximal hamstring tendon avulsion injuries in our institution between the years 2010 and 2020 were asked to complete a validated, injury-specific outcome measurement, the Perth Hamstring Assessment Tool (PHAT; 0-100 points). In addition to calculating these outcomes, we evaluated the association of the obtained results with possible predictive factors such as age, sex, stump retraction shown on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and timing and duration of surgery. Results: A total of 226 patients (227 operations) were eligible for the study, and 204 cases of hamstring tendon avulsion injury met our inclusion criteria. The return rate for the PHAT questionnaire was 85.3%. The mean PHAT score revealed good results (79.8 ± 19.1). Irrespective of concomitant factors, the scores of male patients were significantly higher compared with those of female patients (83.8 ± 16.9 vs 75.8 ± 20.6 respectively; P = .004). The mean time to surgery was 5.7 weeks after trauma, and more delayed surgery correlated significantly with lower PHAT scores ( P = .003; r = –0.228). The mean degree of stump retraction on MRI (5 cm) did not significantly influence PHAT scores ( P = .525; r = –0.06). Conclusion: Delay of surgery and female sex were disadvantageous in terms of a good functional outcome measure (PHAT score) after hamstring tendon refixation surgery. By contrast, patient age as well as the retraction of the tendon stump on preoperative MRI did not influence PHAT scores in the present study.

Haemorrhage is most important sequelae of brain cavernoma, so the surgical treatment is very important for treatment that complication. There are two types of bleeding - chronic subclinical microhaemorrhage and acute real hemorrhage. Patophisiologycal factors which are reasponsible for bleeding are not still understanding. The reason for this study is understanding of clinical curse of cavernomas and identification of factors of influence. This is retrospective and prospective study. We analyzed 36 patients with symptomatic brain cavernoma, surgically treated in Institute of neurosurgery KCS in 10 years period (1987-1997). Female were dominant but without statistical significance (p>0,05). Male patients were older (32,1:29,8), but without statistical significance (p>0,05). Almost 75% lesions were supratentorial, 25% infratentorial (p<0,05). Focal neurological deficit (FND) was dominant clinical presentation in 52,8%. FND was dominant in 52,6% female, but without statistical singnificans (p>0,05). Clinical presentation according the age was not statistically significant (p>0,05). Clinical presentation was very different according the size of lesion (p<0,001). FND as a sign of bleeding was in 57,9% supratentorial cavernomas and in 42,1% infratentorial (p<0,005). More than 1/3 patients have recurrent bleeding with 21 attack of haemorrhage or almost 2 attack per patient. We find that dominant predictive factors for recurrent haemorrhages are localization and size of lesion.
