TREATMENT EXPERIENCE OF CHRONIC LUNG ABSCESSES USING MINI-INVASIVE ELECTROSURGICAL TECHNIQUES.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To increase the efficiency of surgical treatment of patients with chronic lung abscesses by developing mini-invasive methods of surgical treatment using electrosurgical technologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Conducted study of the results of surgical treatment of 78 patients with chronic lung abscesses operated from 2011 to 2021. Patients were divided into two groups: the main group (37 patients who were treated using developed technologies) and a comparison group (41 patients, treated using traditional tactics). RESULTS: Results: Transthoracic and endobronchial sanitation of the purulent cavity in the lung at the first stage of treatment contributed to the rapid elimination of inflammation and significantly accelerated the regeneration of lung tissue. Clinical effectiveness in the main group was expressed in reducing the phenomena of intoxication, decrease in Leukocyte intoxication index (LII) (early as on day 5 after surgery), on the 10th day, a significant reduction in patients bacterial excretion was noted (in the main group by 18.9%, in the comparison group - by 14.6%), the average time of reducing the abscess cavity by 1/4 of the volume 6 days less, the healing time of the cavity of the AL which is on average 13 and 16 days, respectively, less. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The developed methods of surgical interventions made it possible to significantly positively influence the level of endogenous intoxication indicators, avoid resection surgical interventions, reduce the number of postoperative complications, avoid damage to neighboring organs, reduce the time of patients with achieving a stable positive effect.

Using of endovascular catheter methods in surgical treatment patients with lung bleeding.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Improve the results of the treatment of patients with pulmonary bleeding. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: We examined 57patients with lung bleeding different etiology, who were hospitalized in the department of Thoraco-Abdominal Surgery. All patients were divided into two groups - of the main group 27patients and the comparison group 30 patients, depend of ages, sex, nosological form, level of lung bleeding. Patients aged from 27 to 78 years, including 34 men (62,5%) and 23 women (37,5%.). The test diseases includes: bronchiectasis disease - in 21 (37,1 %), pulmonary fibrosis with malformation BA - in 14 (24,7 %), abscess of the lung - in 9 (15,9 %), polycystic lung disease - in 6 (12,7 %), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - in 5 (9,6 %). RESULTS: Results: As a result of complete physical examination of patients with LB, it has been established that hemorrhage was the result of obstructive bronchitis in 14 patients (42%), there was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 7 (21%) and bronchiectasis was diagnosed in 6 (18%) patients. In 2 (6%) patients pulmonary hemorrhage was caused by community-acquired pneumonia. Central lung cancer was detected in 4 (12%) patients. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Bronchial artery angiography gives high efficiency in solving the problem of hemostasis in oncological and nonspecific lung diseases. Endovascular occlusion of bronchial arteries permits: to elaborate diagnosis because of the presence of specific angiographic signs of malignant tumor; to perform effective endovascular hemostasis.
