[Laparoscopic versus laparoscopy-assisted suturing of perforated peptic ulcers (meta-analysis)]. / Laparoskopicheskoe i laparoskopicheski assistirovannoe ushivanie probodnoi yazvy (metaanaliz).

OBJECTIVE: To compare laparoscopic and laparoscopy-assisted repair of perforated peptic ulcer using evidence-based methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews.Data searching was carried out in Russian and English languages using the E-library, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases. We analyzed titles and references in specialized journals and thematic reviews, respectively. Clarifying information was obtained via personal contacts with the heads of surgical hospitals. The RevMan 5.4 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: We found no randomized trials devoted to comparison of laparoscopic and laparoscopy-assisted surgeries in patients with perforated peptic ulcer. Meta-analysis was based on non-randomized trials with satisfactory methodological quality according to the I-ROBINS formalized assessment. Overall clinical material included 478 observations: 229 (47.9%) laparoscopic surgeries and 249 (52.1%) laparoscopy-assisted procedures via minimally invasive access. There were no conversions. Incidence of postoperative complications was 4.36 and 8.83% (OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.08, 1.87), postoperative mortality 0.87 and 0.81%, respectively (OR=1.26, 95% CI 0.08, 8.24). Laparoscopic surgeries were shorter (MD= -8 min, 95% CI -9.7, -6.4). Length of hospital-stay was also shorter after laparoscopic surgery (MD= -4.6, 95% CI -9.7, -6.4). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic operations are shorter and accompanied by lower incidence of postoperative complications and less hospital-stay. Large statistical power is required to confirm these differences.

[Koblenz algorithm for open abdomen management]. / «Koblentsskii algoritm¼ lecheniya bol'nykh s laparostomoi.

The issue of laparostomy treatment is still controversial, since there are insufficient evidence-based data. German military surgeons have developed and implemented the «Koblenz algorithm¼ of laparostomy treatment into everyday practice. The algorithm was developed at the Bundeswehr Central Hospital in Koblenz (Germany). Today, approximately 50% of German civilian hospitals use the «Koblenz algorithm¼. The database for laparostomy treatment was created on the basis of international platform European Registry of Abdominal wall Hernias (EuraHS) in May 2015. These data will be valuable for further multipla-center studies. This manuscript is devoted to analysis of clinical effectiveness of the «Koblenz algorithm¼ in the treatment of patients with laparostomy. Searching of Russian, English and German studies devoted to «Koblenz algorithm¼ in the treatment of patients with laparostomy was carried out in the eLIBRARY, Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek, the Cochrane Library and the PubMed databases. The authors comprehensively described «Koblenz algorithm¼. Mortality in the group of VAC - therapy was 57% (31/54), in case of «Koblenz algorithm¼ - 33% (33/100). Between-group differences were significant (OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.18-0.72, p=0.003). However, an efficacy of «Koblenz algorithm¼ should be confirmed in further multiple-center studies including national evidence-based trials.

[Results of video-assisted technologies in colorectal surgery]. / Rezul'taty vnedreniia éndovideokhirurgicheskikh tekhnologii v kolorektal'noi khirurgii.

AIM: To analyze immediate outcomes of 286 laparoscopic and robot-assisted interventions on the colon and rectum. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 256 (89.51%) laparoscopic and 30 (10.49%) robot-assisted procedures. 233 (81.46%) operations were performed for rectum and colon cancer. Postoperative complications after colon cancer surgery were revealed in 11.11%, including anastomosis failure in 2.08% of cases. Postoperative complications after rectal cancer surgery occurred in 32.58% of cases including anastomosis failure after anterior rectectomy in 11.67%. CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted surgery is not advisable for colon diseases according to price-effectiveness ratio due to available laparoscopic approach. Preventive intestinal stoma in endoscopic low and ultra-low anterior rectal resection allows you to avoid clinically significant inconsistency of colorectal anastomosis. Laparoscopic procedure should be performed with Contour stitching-cutting device in low and ultra-low anterior rectal resection if there is technical complexity of one-stage rectum intersection below the tumor. Robot-assisted operations for rectal cancer have advantages due to three-dimensional imaging and better orientation, greater freedom of manipulation in confined spaces, and simplicity of lymphadenectomy.

[Endovascular interventions in true and false aneurysms of hepatic, splenic and renal arteries].

A false aneurysm of visceral arteries is a life-threatening pathology sufficiently difficult to treat. Open operations are characterised by a large scope, considerable surgical injury and accompanied by a high rate of serious complications. The development of the technology of superselective catheterization of blood vessels, creation of specialized microcatheters, glue composites and various types of spirals made it possible to treat this severe pathology without resorting to open operations. The work deals with a brief literature review concerning epidemiology, methods of diagnosis and treatment of pseudoaneurysms of visceral arteries, followed by presenting three clinical case reports concerning successful treatment of posttraumatic false aneurysms of the right hepatic and splenic arteries, as well as an aneurysm of the renal artery. Both immediate and remote results of endovascular interventions in these patients are followed up, demonstrably showing possibilities of endovascular technologies in treatment of the pathology involved.

[Modern capabilities of the diagnostics and surgical treatment of tumors of the small bowel].

During the recent 6 years (2004-2010) tumors of the small intestine were diagnosed in 19 patients. Mean age of the patients with benign tumors was 63 years, with malignant tumors--57 years (age variations from 19 to 82 years). There were 16 (84%) men and 3 (16%) women. In 9 patients tumors were localized in the jejunum, in 10 patients--in the ileum. Complications appeared in 11 patients which was the cause of emergency operations. In 33.3% of the patients clinical manifestations of benign tumors of the small bowel were as episodes of intestinal bleedings which were not intensive as a rule, but were of recurrent character. Malignant tumors of the jejunum had clinical manifestations in 87% of patients. Most frequent symptoms were spastic or diffuse pains in the abdomen (63% of the patients), loss of the body mass (50%), intestinal obstruction (27.7%), intestinal bleedings (5.5%).

[Treatment of early stages destructive pancreatitis].

The algorithm of the acute destructive pancreatitis' treatment is based on the analysis of 167 patients data. It includes medical activities on patient's admission, basic medication components and indications to the operative treatment. The application of the algorithm ensured satisfactory results of the treatment in 94% of patients with the destructive pancreatitis on early stages.

[Experience in delivering specialized surgical care in a large hospital]. / Opyt okazaniia spetsializirovannoi khirurgicheskoi pomoshchi v krupnom gospitale.

Medical troops supply in local armed conflicts demonstrated advantages of fast evacuation of wounded personnel by aviation from the seat of combat actions to the stage of specialized surgical care. Wounded in head, breast, abdomen (particularly in case of multiple and combined character of wounds) are evacuated for treatment to central military hospitals equipped with modern diagnostic and medical equipment, completed with qualified specialists and having the opportunity of prolonged treatment. Surgical care in the zone of combat actions is confined to hemostasis, intensive therapy -to supporting of main vital functions. The article contains the data about terminations of wounded personnel treatment in central military-fleet clinical hospital.
