Of the several procedures that has to treat esophageal achalasia, the esophagectomy is to be the most indicated in advanced disease, which prompted Pinotti the disseminate the transmediastinal esophagectomy technique in the 1970s, with the advantage of avoiding thoracotomy. Nevertheless, several series demonstrated that this technique was not exempt from complications one of which could lead to massive hemopneumothorax due to injury to the trachea- bronchial tree and vessels due the periesophagitis that may be present with consequent adherence of the esophagus to these noble organs. Thus, Aquino in 1996 introduced the esophageal mucosectomy technique with preservation of the esophageal muscle tunic at the level of mediastinum as well as the transposition of the stomach to the cervical region inside in this tunic for the reconstruction of digestive tract. The advantage of this procedure is to avoid transgression of the mediastinum. This author describes in details this procedure, and shows early results and late evaluation using the ECKARDT score in a series of patients showing the advantages of the esophageal mucosectomy due the low incidence of immediate postoperative complications and good resolution in long term due the absence of symptoms in most patients.

Facial cleft is a rare and challenging craniofacial malformation. Treatment of rare facial cleft is complex, and the evaluation of its long-term results is challenging because of the low incidence. In this article, we would like to present middle-term follow-up of 6 patients with facial cleft Tessier number 4, number 5, and number 7 who were treated in our center during charity surgical mission. We will discuss surgical option, difficulties, and complication that may arise in this surgery.

Aušra Černiauskienė, Juozas StanaitisVilniaus greitosios pagalbos universitetinė ligoninėVilniaus universiteto Bendrosios ir kraujagyslių chirurgijos klinikos Bendrosios chirurgijos centras Įvadas / tikslas Aprašyti įvairius moterų šlapimo nelaikymo fizinio krūvio metu chirurginio gydymo būdus (klasikinę kolposuspensiją Burch būdu, laparoskopinę kolposuspensiją ir "SPARC" raiščio viršgaktinę implantaciją), pateikti jų rezultatus, išanalizuoti, kokį būdą geriau pasirinkti. Metodai Vilniaus greitosios pagalbos universitetinės ligoninės Bendrosios chirurgijos centre moterų šlapimo nelaikymo gydymui 1996–2002 m. taikyti įvairūs operacijų būdai: buvo atliktos 229 atvirosios kolposuspensijos Burch būdu, 10 laparoskopinių kolposuspensijų ir dvi "SPARC" raiščio implantacijos (pouretrinis pakėlimas proleno raiščiu). Darbe pateikiami 103 ligonių, operuotų 1996–2000 m., ankstyvieji ir vėlyvieji gydymo rezultatai po atvirųjų Burch operacijų, ir 10 ligonių ankstyvieji gydymo rezultatai po laparoskopinių kolposuspensijų (1999–2001 m.). Atlikus bendruosius ir specialiuosius tyrimus (urodinaminius tyrimus, kolpocistogramas), visoms ligonėms nustatytas šlapimo nelaikymas fizinio krūvio metu. Vidutinė hospitalizacijos trukmė: po atvirosios operacijos – 14,7 dienos, po laparoskopinės – 7 dienos, po "SPARC" raiščio implantacijos – 4 dienos. Kateteris šlapimo pūslėje po atvirosios Burch opercijos buvo laikomas 5 paras, po laparoskopinės – 3, po "SPARC" raiščio implantacijos – 1 parą. Ankstyvieji operacinio gydymo rezultatai buvo įvertinti po 3 mėnesių, vėlyvieji – po 1–2, 2–3 ir 3–4 metų. Rezultatai Po atvirosios Burch operacijos ankstyvieji (po 3 mėn.) labai geri ir geri rezultatai nustatyti 96,1 % ligonių, vėlyvieji labai geri ir geri rezultatai po 1–2 metų – 87,4 %, po 2–3 metų – 84,1 %, po 3–4 metų – 81,3 % ligonių. Po laparoskopinės kolposuspensijos praėjus 3 mėnesiams, 9 ligonių rezultatai įvertinti kaip labai geri ir geri, 1 ligonės – vidutiniai (šlapimas laikosi, yra imperatyvus šlapinimasis ištekant minimaliam šlapimo kiekiui). Išvados Atvirosios ir laparoskopinės kolposuspensijos rezultatai rodo, kad šiomis operacijomis veiksmingai gydomas moterų šlapimo nelaikymas. "SPARC" raiščio implantacija – paprasta, greitai atliekama, veiksminga, sukelianti mažiau komplikacijų, tačiau brangi operacija. Prasminiai žodžiai: šlapimo nelaikymas, chirurginis gydymas, laparoskopinė kolposuspensija, pouretriniai raiščiai. Surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence : from open to minimally invasive operations Aušra Černiauskienė, Juozas Stanaitis Background / objective The aim of work: to describe different surgical methods in treating female stress urinary incontinence (classical Burch colposuspension, laparoscopic colposuspension and suprapubical implantation of SPARC sling), to show the results, to analyze the preferable methods. Methods 229 open colposuspensions according to Burch, 10 laparoscopic colposuspensions and 2 SPARC sling implantations (suburethral raising with prolene sling) were performed in General Surgery Clinic of Vilnius University Emergency Hospital during the period 1996–2002. We present early and long-term results for 103 patients operated on in 1996–2000 with open Burch colposuspension and early results after laparoscopic colposuspension (1999–2001). All female patients were examined (urodynamic investigation, colpocystograms) and stress urinary incontinence was diagnosed. The average hospitalization time was 14.7 days after open operation, 7 days after laparoscopic operation, and 4 days after SPARC sling implantation. Catheter from the urine bladder was removed after 5 days in case of Burch operation, after 3 days in case of laparoscopic operation, and after 1 day in case of SPARC sling implantation. Early postoperative results were assessed after 3 months, and long-term postoperative results after 1–2 years, 2–3 years and 3–4 years. Results After open Burch operations early (after 3 months) results were very good and good in 96.1% , long-term results were very good and good after 1–2 years in 87.4%, after 2–3 years in 84.1% and after 3–4 years in 81.3% of patients. After laparoscopic colposuspensions, early results were very good and good in 9 cases, medium in one case (the patient contained urine normally but complained of imperative urination with minimal urine excretion). Conclusions Our results show that both open and laparoscopic colposuspensions remain effective operations in rapidly treating female stress urinary incontinence. SPARC sling implantation is a common, quick to perform, effective operation with less postoperative complications, however, it is expensive. Keywords: urinary incontinence, surgical treatment, laparoscopic colposuspension, suburethral sling.

Tumour excision and laminoplasty are commonly performed as surgical treatment of extra vertebral extension of cervical schwannoma. It is worth knowing that the conventional technique of multilevel laminectomy may hinder younger patients in the long-term. This article reports a 30-year old man with an intradural-extramedullary tumour which extended from C4 to T1 that underwent modified laminoplasty.  This modified technique is preferable in maintaining the anteroposterior diameter of spinal canal as well as reducing the displacement of guttered laminae
