Equinus Deformity

Multiple surgical procedures have been described for the correction of equinus deformity. We present a review of the anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical assessment of equinus. In addition, we provide a detailed surgical technique for gastrocnemius soleus recession and introduce an anatomical guide for surgical treatment. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 95(1): 18–25, 2005)

Authors analysed the outcomes of surgical treatment in 108 patients with scoliosis. Depending on surgical technique the patients were divided into 4 groups. The base of surgical procedures was different combinations of Harrington distractor with Luque rod as well as with segmental angular resection at the deformity apex. The efficacy of segmental angular resection that enabled to mobilize the rigid scoliotic deformity and increase intraoperative correction was detected. The combination of that procedure with the deformity correction by Harrington distractor and lateral traction by Luque rod allowed to achieve more marked correction and to preserve it to a greater degree and for longer time (2 years after operation 67,8% of achieved correction was preserved). It was also shown that fixation of corrective spine by Harrington distractor only did not provide considerable preservation of primary achieved correction in long term postoperative period (2 years after operation 47,3% of the achieved correction was preserved).

Histopathological Results

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.

Upper Jaw

Many diseases of the human body, which need surgical treatment, require from the surgeon not only the elimination of this disease according to all the rules of surgical technique and modern asepsis, but also proper postoperative care. The latter is sometimes quite difficult, especially on wounds located near the so-called natural openings and on the path of the respiratory and digestive tract, due to the constant contamination of the wound by the separation and discharge of these pathways.

The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved significantly over the last 20 years and even more so in the last 5 years. There are now many clinically successful surgical procedures focused on eliminating AF and AF-related stroke. This review discusses the current types of surgical AF procedures, including minimally invasive and hybrid, and may assist clinicians in understanding the various surgical AF options available to patients today.

Tarsal Bones

Tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between tarsal bones, caused by an embryogenic failure. Its most common forms are calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal coalition, which are present in 53% and 37% of the cases, respectively. The onset of symptoms is related to tarsal bone ossification, and mean age for this event is estimated at 16 years for calcaneonavicular coalition. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients who did not improve symptoms with conservative treatment. The aim of this study is to present a surgical technique as a treatment option for resection of calcaneonavicular coalition associated with abnormal cuboid-navicular joint.

Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular pain syndrome occurring as a result of compression on the underlying sciatic nerve due to various causes including the hypertrophy, inflammation, mass lesions or anatomical variations occuring in the deep gluteal space. Patients with piriformis syndrome often experience pain and numbness in the hip, thigh and leg, similar to those of sciatica. In addition to clinical findings, electrophysiological examinations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for diagnosis. Once diagnosed, the treatment approach is stepwise and conservative treatment is successful in majority of cases. Surgical treatment should be performed for the cases in whom conservative treatment methods fail and when the sciatic nerve should be decompressed. Surgery is an important treatment option for unresolved piriformis syndrome with its simplicity and low morbidity. Several surgical procedures have been described for the decompression of affected sciatic nerve. Due to excessive fibrosis tissue that may be developed around the sciatic nerve in classical surgical procedures, person's return to social and work life may be delayed. In the present study, we will evaluate the surgical indication criteria of our cases who underwent minimally invasive surgical treatment due to piriformis syndrome, the definition of the surgical procedure and the outcomes.

Graves' disease (GD) is a hereditary autoimmune disease which is characterized by persistent abnormal hypersecretion of thyroid hormones and thyrotoxicosis syndrome development. GD affects from 0.5 % to 2.0 % of population in different regions. 46 % of these patients develop ophthalmopathy. GD is a common cause of disabilities in patients under 60 years of age. In recent years, the incidence of GD in Ukraine has increased by 9.9 % — from 106.2 to 117.9 per 100,000 individuals. This can be connected with the improved diagnostic possibilities and active disease detection as well as with the increased number of autoimmune thyroid disorders. The recent studies focus on prevention of specific complications and recurrences of GD after surgery. Objective — to compare the levels of antibodies to the thyroid‑stimulating hormone receptors (TSHR‑Ab) during different postoperative periods as well as the incidence of early and late complications depending on the surgical technique used for the treatment of GD. Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 130 patients, with GD were compared. 29 male patients and 101 female patients aged from 19 to 76 (average — 44.1 ± 3.2 years), receiving their treatment for GD in Kyiv Center of Endocrine Surgery during 2010—2018, were randomly selected and divided into two groups. At the time of operation the duration of disease was from 1 to 30 years (average — 4.6 ± 1.2 years). Group  1 included 65 patients that underwent total thyreoidectomy (TT) and group 2 included 65 patients that underwent subtotal thyreoidectomy (ST). The following parameters were compared: surgery duration, the incidence of early postoperative complications, including bleedings and damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerves, and late outcomes of surgical treatment (persistent hypoparathyreoidism disorder and disorder recurrences) depending on the method of surgery (ST or TT). Furthermore, the patterns of the TSHR‑Ab level reduction were studied for different postoperative periods. Results. The comparison of surgical outcomes following TТ and ST didn’t reveal any statistically significant differences in such evaluation criteria as the average surgery duration, the average volume of intraoperative blood loss and the average duration of the postoperative inpatient treatment. The comparative assessment of the thyroid stump volume and the average amount of drained discharge showed statistically significant differences for TТ. It allows considering TТ as a surgery which causes less complications than ST. The studied parameters of early postoperative complications had no significant differences for ST and TТ. The long‑term (5 years) postoperative level of TSHR‑Ab was statistically significantly lower in patients after TT and made up 1.15 ± 0.13 IU/L (thus corresponding to the normal level). Conclusions. Total thyroidectomy is an optimal surgical technique and is more appropriate compared with subtotal thyroid gland resection. It should be noted that TT provides lower risk of complications due to significantly lower level of TSHR‑Ab in late postoperative period.
