End Stage

Rhinophyma is the end-stage of rosacea. Nodular hypertrophy of the external nose is a chronic disease lasting for many years. The main problem in patients with rhinophyma apart from functional disorders are deformities of the nose regarding aesthetics. Therefore patients often isolate themselves and avoid interpersonal and social contacts. Majority of patients with symptoms of nodular hypertrophy are not aware of possibility of treatment which impoves functional disorders and aesthetic of the face. Surgical treatment still remains the basic method of treatment of rhinophyma. The long –term observations have proved satisfactory cosmetics and functional results.

Saddle deformity of the external nose, which is a consequence of trauma, is usually combined with a nasal septal deviation and is quite widespread in the population. The problem of surgical treatment of this group of patients lies not only in the technical complexity, trauma of the proposed methods but also in the need to carry out significant interventions under general anesthesia, which limits the use of available techniques by a wide number of ENT surgeons, increases the duration of the operation, recovery time and temporary disability of the patient. The invention aims to improve surgical treatment of patients with saddle nasal deformity by providing stable cosmetic and functional results. Materials and methods: The proposed method of surgical treatment of saddle deformity of nasal dorsum includes several stages. Cartilage autograft taken from nasal septum during septoplasty is milled to 0,5–1,0 mm, mixed with 0,5 ml of latex tissue glue (LTG) having hemostatic and antiseptic properties due to aminocaproic acid and dioxidine content, respectively. This mixture is kept for 5 minutes and delivered to the pocket formed under the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer in the soft tissues of the dorsum of the external nose, after which the final shape of the nose is simulated and fixed with a plaster splint for a week. Results: Based on the department of otolaryngology of Semashko Ryazan Regional Clinical Hospital, for the period from 2012 to 2019, 17 patients were treated with a diagnosis: saddle deformity of the external nose and nasal septum deviation. All patients underwent rhinoseptoplasty under local anesthesia using LTG as described above. No complications were observed in the postoperative period. During follow-up from 7 to 24 months, patients retain constant functional and cosmetic results. Conclusions. This method is a simple, low-traumatic one of surgical treatment of saddle deformity of the nasal dorsum, which allows reducing the operation time, performing it under local anesthesia and obtaining good cosmetic and functional results. The technical simplicity and accessibility of the method make it possible to use it in hospitals engaged in the surgical treatment of nasal diseases.

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.

Despite the progress in otosurgery, the efficient treatment of patients with the cochlear form of otosclerosis (according to the classification of N.A. Preobrazhensky, 1962) remains an important task. The authors have developed and implemented an advanced stapedoplasty method, providing the improvement of hearing in this category of patients. and described the methods of differential diagnostics for selection of patients according to the developed method. The article describes in details the early and long-term functional results of surgical treatment of 60 patients with cochlear and mixed II forms of otosclerosis, divided into the main and control groups. The main group is represented by 30 patients who underwent a cartilage-on-vein stapedoplasty according to the improved method. The control group included 30 patients, in which 18 people underwent a cartilage-on-vein stapedoplasty according to the method developed by Lenin Prize winner V. F. Nikitina, and 12 people who underwent V. T. Palchun’s piston stapedoplasty. The results demonstrate a statistically significant improvement of bone conduction in the main group in average by 15–20 dB throughout the entire tone scale (except for high frequencies in some patients) and the complete closure of the bone-air interval with subsequent preservation of the results. Based on the obtained data, the authors present the expediency and perspectivity of implementation of the advanced stapedoplasty method.

Purpose. Evaluation of the indications, anatomical and functional results, and complications of total penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) in disorders involving whole cornea. Materials and Methods. We analyzed outcomes of the surgical treatment of 47 eyes of 46 patients that underwent TPK. Indications were infectious keratitis, autoimmune disease, injury of the eyeball (mainly chemical burns), and other combined disorders. The surgical technique involved dissection of affected tissues with a margin of 1.0 mm. The size of the corneal graft ranged from 10.0 to 14.0 mm. We analyzed indications, outcomes, and complications of surgery. Results. Final restoration of the ocular integrity and maintenance of the globe were achieved in 27 eyes (57%). More than one surgery was necessary in a total of 29 eyes (62%). The frequency of retransplantations did not vary significantly between the groups with different causes of corneal melting/perforation (63% of eyes with infection, 66% of eyes after trauma and 70% of eyes of patients with autoimmune disorders). Surgical treatment failed in 20 eyes (43%). Evisceration was necessary in 13 eyes (28%), phthisis occurred in 7 cases (15%). Conclusion. TPK should be considered as a last line treatment in huge corneal destruction to restore integrity of the eye globe.

New Surgical Technique

Surgical treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with an inferior break remains a challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. When using silicone tamponade, complications can develop, such as increased intraocular pressure and emulsification of silicone. In recent years, tamponade of the vitreous cavity with a gas-air mixture has been actively used, however, not all patients can observe the forced position face down, and the tamponade itself is not long-term. Purpose. The authors proposed a method for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with an inferior break using a combined tamponade with a gas-air mixture and viscoelastic based on sodium hyaluronate. Material and methods. A clinical observation of a patient successfully operated on with the use of the specified combined tamponade is presented. A detailed description of a new surgical technique is presented, which allows achieving a higher anatomical and functional results. Conclusion. To confirm the effectiveness and safety of the proposed method, further studies on a group of patients are needed. Key words: rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, inferior break, gas-air tamponade, tamponade with viscoelastic, sodium hyalur onate

Prostate cancer (РСа), being one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in men in Russia and in a number of other countries of the world, remains an urgent problem for modern oncourology, and the choice of surgical method is an important task for a surgeon. Such a pronounced interest in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients is driven by good tolerance and effectiveness of these surgical interventions, despite the fact that radical prostatectomy is considered to be the "gold standard" for treatment of patients with clinically localized РСа with regard to European Association of Urology data. The long-term oncological and functional results and the quality of life of patients after RARP deserve close attention and thorough study. According to the data presented in this article, it is obvious that RARP is the preferred method for surgical treatment of РСа, since oncological and functional results in the long-term follow-up are comparable to the results after radical prostatectomy, and according to some authors, these results are superior to the results of radical prostatectomy. The results of the study will allow to continue further introduction of RARP into clinical practice and its popularization as a method of surgical treatment of patients with localized PCa, which will reduce the length of hospital stay of patients, accelerate their medical and social rehabilitation, and improve the quality of medical care.The amount of data on the study of distant oncological and functional results of RARP as well as its superiority over other treatment methods is limited in medical literature, which prompted us to conduct our own research. Currently the urological clinic of the A.I. Evdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry continues work aimed at studying the longterm results of RARP in the first patients in Russia.

Background Orthokin is an intra-articular autologous conditioned serum (ACS). Its use might have a beneficial biological effect on pain and function of osteoarthritis in the knee. However, earlier studies lack any consensus on its clinical application and disease modifying effect. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of Orthokin injection treatment on prevention of surgical treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Study Design Prospective cohort study. Methods Patients of the previously published Orthokin cohort were contacted to determine whether any intra-articular surgical intervention or osteotomy of the study knee had taken place during the past decade. A log-rank test was performed to evaluate the differences in the survival distribution for the 2 types of intervention: Orthokin versus placebo. Results The survival distributions for the 2 interventions were not statistically significantly different, χ2(1) = 2.069, P = 0.150. After 7.5 ± 3.9 years, 46.3% of the placebo and 40.3% of the Orthokin group had been treated surgically. Conclusion The use of Orthokin in knee osteoarthritis patients did not result in a delay regarding surgical treatment. Clinical Relevance The intra-articular use of Orthokin does not seem to prevent or delay surgical intervention at 10 years after treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis.

Moebius syndrome (MS) is a rare disease, with paralysis of the VI and VII cranial nerves, frequently associated with clubfoot (CF). The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical treatment of CF in MS, providing its peculiarities. Between 1990 and 2019, we collected data of 11 MS patients with unilateral (n = 5) or bilateral (n = 6) CF, for a total of 17 feet (9R,8L). Six patients (3M,3F) for a total of 10 feet (6R,4L) were treated elsewhere, performing first surgery at an average age of nine months, and in our hospital for relapse surgery at an average age of 4.5 years (Group 1). Five patients (3M, 2F), for a total of seven feet (3R,4L), were primarily treated in our hospital with a peritalar release according to McKay at an average age of 9.4 months (Group 2). Diméglio score was used to assess CF severity. Three questionnaires were submitted for evaluation of subjective and functional results: American Orthopedics Foot and Ankle Society for Hindfoot (AOFAS), Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). Average AOFAS/FAOS/FAMM scores were 82.8, 84.8, and 82.3 for Group 1, and 93.2, 94.7, and 95.1 for Group 2 at an average follow-up of 16.9 and 13.3 years, respectively. The average Diméglio score improved from 15.5 to 4.8 in the long-term follow-up in Group 1 and from 14.6 to 3.8 in Group 2. The comparison between the groups showed better results for AOFAS, FAOS, and FAAM scores for Group 2, particularly for pain, function, and foot alignment and for the post-surgical Diméglio score. CF in MS is more severe and presented a higher relapse rate (58.8%) than idiopathic CF. Peritalar release showed no relapse and better subjective and functional results in the long-term follow-up compared to other surgical techniques
