ABSTRACT

Closures in the splanchnic venous system (SVS) represent a broad medical problem. Anatomically, individual or even multiple sections of SVS may be affected at the same time. Main sections of SVS include the venous liver outflow system, the portal vein, and the upper mesenteric vein and its basin. Thrombosis is clearly the predominant cause of closure. The closures can present as acute, subacute, chronic occult or chronic manifest. The main pathological and anatomical units are the Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) and mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT). Advanced laboratory, imaging and intervention methods substantially modify the approach to prevention, diagnosis and treatment; surgical approach also plays a role. The problem of SVS closures is interdisciplinary.

ABSTRACT

Hydrogen sulfide in biogas is common problem during anaerobic treatment of wastewater with high sulfate concentration (breweries, distilleries, etc.) and needs to be removed before biogas utilization. Physico-chemical desulfurization methods are energetically demanding and expensive compare to biochemical methods. Microaeration, i.e. dosing of small amount of air, is suitable and cost effective biochemical method of sulfide oxidation to elemental sulfur. It has been widely used in biogas plants, but its application in anaerobic reactors for wastewater treatment has been rarely studied or tested. The lack of full-scale experience with microaeration in wastewater treatment plants has been overcome by evaluating the results of seven microaerobic digesters in central Europe. The desulfurization efficiency has been more than 90% in most of the cases. Moreover, microaeration improved the degradability of COD and volatile suspended solids.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of irreversible electroporation (IRE) and the outcome of patients undergoing IRE of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (PC). Twenty-one patients with unresectable PC underwent open (n=19) or percutaneous (n=2) IRE of the tumor using the Nanoknife system with two electrodes that were repositioned several times to affect the whole mass. The size of the tumor was 39±10mm with a range from 21 to 65mm. Five patients underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and seven patients were treated with chemotherapy after IRE. Complications occurred in five patients, which resulted in prolongation of the average hospital stay from 10 to 34 days. There was no mortality in the first postoperative month. Median survival after IRE was 10.2 months compared to 9.3 months in a matched cohort (hazard ratio = .54, p = .053). The quality of life was declining slowly. 81% of time after IRE the Karnofsky performance status was ≥70 and sharp decline occurred approximately 8 weeks before death.In conclusion, IRE is a safe palliative treatment option for a percentage of patients with locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma. The patients treated with open IRE lived a decent life until 8 weeks before their death. We believe that IRE of pancreatic carcinoma can be regarded as an option, if imaging or explorative laparotomy show that R0 resection in not possible.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a quite novel method of tissue ablation. Its mechanism of action that does not use thermal energy is the most important feature of the method. Current experience with IRE in animal studies and in clinical practice are summarized in the paper. In particular, the paper is focused on using IRE in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma. METHOD: The basic principle of IRE is that it causes micropores in the phospholipid membrane of cells. This leads to an impairment of cellular homeostasis and programmed cell death - apoptosis. Because of absence of protein denaturation this method spares tubular structures like vessels and ducts. This is the key feature that allows to use IRE in the pancreas where common thermic ablative procedures cannot be used for difficult anatomic circumstances and resulting injury of surrounding structures. PRE-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES: The ability to spare vascular structures and ducts was confirmed in many animal studies. Subsequently, IRE was safely utilized also in human liver, pancreas, lung and kidneys. IRE in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer: Most experience with IRE ablation has been gathered for locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma where clinical studies published in the recent 5 years have provided encouraging results. CONCLUSION: Irreversible electroporation is a safe method used to decrease tumour mass in pancreatic cancer. Further studies are needed to determine its therapeutic efficiency.

ABSTRACT

Number of newly diagnosed cystic pancreatic tumors is permanently increasing. This fact is primarily related to the development of new diagnostic methods. The main representative ones are: serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystic neoplasm, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and solid pseudopapillar tumor. Because of the malignant potential of these lesions, proper indication of surgical treatment is extremely important. The article highlights and describes our experience in diagnostics and therapy of cystic pancreatic tumors diagnosed in the General Teaching Hospital Prague in the period: 1/ 2008- 12/ 2012. All patients were investigated by computerised tomography and endoscopic ultrasound with fine -  needle aspiration biopsy. Thirty seven patients in total were diagnosed with cystic pancreatic tumors: 19 with serous cystadenoma, 5 with mucinous cystic neoplasm, 5 with mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, 5 with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and 3 with solid pseudopapillar tumor. In 14 cases patients were indicated for surgery, in 1 case signs of malignant transformation were found. Determination of the optimal strategy for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in patients with cystic pancreatic tumors requires the dia-gnosis, treatment and followup observation in adequately equiped specialized centers.

ABSTRACT

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder (AMG) is not very common, however inherited and degenerative disease of the gallbladder with premalignant to malignant potential through metaplasia, occurring especially in a segmental form at higher-age patients, although the fundal form occurs more often. It can be found in 2-8.7% of resected gallbladder after cholecystecomy. In some cases, but extremely rarely, it has been found also in extrahepatic bile ducts. Correct pre-operative diagnosis does not exceed 30%, as it is often considered as an acute or chronic inflammatory gallbladder disease, same as in our case report. Disease development from the clinical point of view is mostly asymptomatic, where again the cholecystectomy is recommended.

ABSTRACT

Aortic coarctation is a frequent congenital defect requiring early surgical treatment. Late complications of these surgical procedures can be fatal as in the case of a ruptured anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. We present a case of a 49-year-old man presenting with hemorrhagic shock due to this complication who was successfully treated by endovascular techniques with implantation of two stent grafts. This case illustrates the fact that endovascular aortic repair is feasible, certainly less invasive and very efficient for this type of complication when used in an experienced center.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Bedside ultrasonography is a modern and progressive examinating method. During the past two decades, performing of bedside ultrasonography has repeteadly shown its clinical and economical advantages. Bedside ultrasonography appears to be cost-effective method which provides minimall patient and staff stress. AIM AND METHOD: 132 critically ill patients were involved, regardless of basic diagnosis and surgical procedure they undervent. In these patients both bedside USG and CT were performed in order to prove a fluid collections in one of the following anatomical locations pleural cavity, peritoneal cavity and abdominal wall. The prospective study assessed and compared sensitivity of bedside USG to CT. Results of the study should by further applied in hardly transportable critically ill, for that CT could be hazardous. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bedside USG had comparable sensitivity to CT in fluidothrorax and abdominal wall colections detection, in some cases even more. For intraabdominal fluid USG represent less accurate method to CT, benefit of CT should be then discussed in each patient individually considering general health condition and basic diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Bilateral leg compartment syndrome due to myonecrosis caused by inappropriate use of statins is a rare but potentially fatal complication of this lipid lowering medication. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman who presented with suspicious critical lower limb ischemia. Subsequently, bilateral leg compartment syndrome and myonecrosis developed. The primary cause of myonecrosis was due to misuse of simvastatin mistaken by the patient for a weight-reducing drug. Urgent fasciotomies were performed and the patient underwent urgent renal replacement therapy with continuous hemodialysis for acute renal failure due to myoglobinuria. After this complex treatment, the patient was discharged. She almost fully recovered with only a residual paresis of the left fibular nerve. According to literature, this is a unique case of bilateral compartment syndrome and myonecrosis with acute renal failure due to statin overdose leading to acute renal failure and bilateral fasciotomy.

ABSTRACT

Authors present the case (from the year 2003) of a 38 years old patient, female with large tumor in the abdominal cavity. Preoperative differential diagnostic examination showed either tumor of pancreas or left liver lobe. The surgery confirmed large tumor body of the pancreas. Histological and immunohistochemical examination determined gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the pancreas from autonomous nerves with malignant character. Tumor was radically removed. In the postoperative period regular follow up was done at the department of oncology, abdominal ultrasound every 3 months, CT scan every 6 month. 2.5 years after operation the patient has no problems, CT scan is without signs of recurrent diseases. The analysis of GIST was performed in agreement with contemporary knowledge. According to the references, our case report GIST of pancreas is the first of this kind (till 2003).

ABSTRACT

The article presents a case report of a 53-year-old man, who underwent abdominal surgery for the ischemic vascular necrosis of the small bowel and right colon of the embolic aetiology and who has had several serious comorbidities. Resection of the major part of the small bowel and right hemicolectomy with high jejunostomy and transversostomy was performed. Not only has the patient very well tolerated the first surgery, but he tolerated also the other one with recovery of passage continuity. The other surgery was necessary due to mycotic infection in the right atrium (vegetations at the heart pacing electrode). After 5 months the patient died because of generalisation of mycotic infection. The problem of mesenteric vascular occlusions is discussed.

ABSTRACT

Included is a case study of duodenal peptic ulcer bleeding. The patient was treated by Finsterer-Bancroft modification of II-type gastric resection. An early reoperation was indicated by reason of duodenal stump leak. The situation solved by means of duodenostomy. The authors discuss causes of duodenal stump insufficiency. Possibilities of prevention of this complication - which are cited in literature - are mentioned. Duodenostomy is a legitimate optimal solution of duodenal stump suture insufficiency.

ABSTRACT

The authors present a case report of bleeding from the small dissection of descending aorta. Patient, 71 year old woman, with severe comorbidities (nephrotic syndrome based on membraneous glomerulonephritis, diabetes mellitus, lung emphysema, hepatopathy, polyneuropathy and others). One month after last stay in hospital chemotherapy et corticotherapy. In while on heparin during hospitalization at nephrologic department, patient developed right side haemothorax and haemomediastinum. An urgent transfer to surgical department with cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed. The suspection of aneurysm on CT angioscan was non confirmed. The damage of oesophagus due to previous endoscopy (for chest pain) was non confirmed, too. During surgery masive sanquine effusion of mediastinum and right side haemothorax was found. The drainage and redrainage of the chest was performed. The cause of bleeding was not found. Critically ill patient had died and on autopsy a small dissection of thoracic aorta was found as a cause of bleeding. The problems of diagnosis and therapy are discussed. (Fig. 2, Ref. 7.)

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic pancreatic procedures are still at the stage of evaluation with regard to their indications and the technical variation used. Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is currently used for staging malignant pancreatic tumours, for the resection of benign pancreatic tumours and for the occasional management of inflammatory disorders of the pancreas. Insulinomas are rare tumours with incidence per year of 0.1-0.4 per 100,000. Ist Surgical clinic, IIIrd Internal clinic and Radiological clinic are cooperating since 1971. On the list of IIIrd Internal clinic are 80 patients with insulinoma. Since 1971 at Ist Surgical Clinic 66 patients have been operated. In our article are diagnostic and therapeutic problems discussed. Laparoscopic pancreatic procedures are still at an evaluation stage regard to their indications and techniques. Authors give report about first experience with successful laparoscopic enucleation of insulinoma in case 83 year old woman (Fig. 3, 4). The operative time was 90 min. Drainage is necessary. CT guided drain in cavity of seroma is shown (Fig. 5).

ABSTRACT

A case report of 28-year-old pregnant women (34 week of pregnancy) with acute pancreatitis is presented. Likely cause of pancreatitis in the patient was extreme combined hyperlipidemia. The subject underwent seven complicated surgeries and with a necessity of prolonged intensive post-operative care. A year apart from the episode of acute pancreatitis both the patient and her baby are doing well. Pancreatic function has been restored and plasma lipid levels are, with appropriate medication, within normal ranges. Analysis of the problematic the relationship between hypertriglyceridemia, pregnancy and acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT

The authors present case of patient with biliary stent dislocation after chest injury and fracture of VIII. rib. Polymorbid patient with cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis, portal hypertension (Child Plugh B) and biliary stent insertion came with acute abdominal pain and inflammatory signs. Progressive signs of acute abdomen have led to laparotomy. Perforation of duodeno-jejunal-loop due to dislocated biliary stent, small loop adhesions and thickened intestine wall were found. Postsurgical period was complicated with obstructive ileus, cholecystitis and cholangiolitis and the second biliary stent was inserted. Present-day status of the patient is satisfactory.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Diffuse necrotizing soft-tissue infections are severe due to their rapid progression; there is a vital need for settling proper early diagnosis. The task of the clinician is mainly in distinguishing localized infection from the diffuse process. CASE PRESENTATION: In our case report we demonstrate a 32 yr old man with a curious development of severe necrotizing infection of submucosis with gas production as a conclusion of perforation of Schloffer's tumour, which developed after appendectomy carried 20 years ago. CONCLUSIONS: In case of diffuse necrotizing soft-tissue infections only immediate surgical revision can confirm initial stages of severe forms of infection.

ABSTRACT

We had operated 72 patients for hepatic metastatic malignancies from 1991 to 2000. In 66 cases were colorectal metastases. Extend of operations were from no anatomical resections, segmentectomies to hemihepatectomies. Operating lethality was 5.5% and long time survival only 10%. In the same period we took arterial port for 22 patients for regional chemotherapy. Response rate was 20% patients. The first experience with radiofrequency ablation (we had 12 ablation procedure) show, that minimal invasive treatment (RFA) is good procedure for high-risk patients. If the patient is able to hepatic resection it will be still standard for treatment.

ABSTRACT

The First Surgical Clinic of the First Medical Faculty of Charles University and General Faculty Hospital in Prague made operations of the pancreas ever since 1971. In the work sooner or later all approaches to surgical treatment pancreatitis were reflected. The authors present a brief review of results and their own experience since 1994 when duodenum-sparing operations were introduced. Indications for surgical treatment were based on the diagnosis by US, CT and ERCP, in exceptional case MR, after evaluation by a pancreatologist, roentgenologist and surgeon. The group of patients with chronic pancreatitis was extended by 21 patients from a group operated because of preoperative suspicion of a malignant pancreatic tumour not confirmed during and after surgery. In those Whipple's operation was preformed. The same operation was performed in three patients with chronic pancreatitis with serious changes in the area of the head of the pancreas. In 123 patients a drainage and duodenum sparing operation was preformed, of these in 57 according to Beger, 19 according to Frey, 37 Partington-Rochelle's procedure. The authors record two sepsis postoperative complications after the classical Beger operation and the hospital stay was on average by five days shorter as compared with the classical method of Whipple. When evaluating postoperative complaints and problems (pain, malnutrition, physical constitution and social position) the authors recorded equally favourable results as after non-complicated duodenopancreatectomy. They varied, depending on the patients co-operation round 84-87% while authors consider Beger's operation logical because of the removal of the main tissue mass of the head of the pancreas, responsible for pain, complications caused by fibrosis in the area round the bile duct and duodenum, responsible for the deteriation of the compartment syndrome in the left half of the gland. Its result is destruction of the remainder of exocrine and endocrine tissue. Of 187 operated patients one patient with decompensated diabetes died postoperatively. Based on their own experience the authors do not consider repeated re-operations an absolute contraindication of Beger's operation when conditions permit. A problem is, in their opinion, fibrosis in the vicinity of the pancreas and portal overpressure.

ABSTRACT

During the last twenty years a significant reduction of the number of gastric resections on account of peptic ulceration occurred due to better therapeutic possibilities in gastrodudodenal ulcers and due to changes in the epidemiology of gastric tumours. However, resections are made, frequently on account of complicated cases of unsuccessful treatment of ulcers in "treatment at any cost". This problem was frequently the subject of professional discussions. Therefore we consider it important to remind young colleagues of the omitted chapter of possible pathological conditions which develop after gastric resections. The latter include a group of vasomotor, gastrointestinal and humoral symptoms which develop as a result of the loss of reservoir function and the function of the closing mechanism of the pyloroantral part of the stomach after gastric resections in derivation surgery. In addition to data in the literature reporting that dumping syndrome is encountered only in 2-3% of any gastric operation the authors describe two of their own observations and the results of their surgical treatment.
