[Fluorescence navigation and angiography with indocyanine green in stomach cancer surgery]. / Flyuorestsentnaya navigatsiya i angiografiya indotsianinom zelenym v khirurgii raka zheludka.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative angiography and fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green in reducing the risks of intra- and postoperative complications, as well as resection quality in patients with gastric cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The main group consisted of patients who underwent intraoperative angiography and fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green (n=43). The control group included patients without these procedures (n=154). Both groups did not differ in gender (p=0.937) and age (p=0.437). The lower third of the stomach was the most common tumor location in the main group (62.7% of cases), the middle and lower thirds of the stomach - in the control group (37% and 38.9% of patients, respectively). There was no between-group difference in «cT¼ grading (p>0.05). However, there were more «cN+¼ patients in the main group (14 (32.6%) versus 28 (18.4%) ones of «N0¼ category, p=0.042). Therefore, 41.9% and 13.6% of patients underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy in both groups, respectively (<0.001). RESULTS: Intraoperative angiography and fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green does not increase mortality (p=0.631), incidence of major (CD 3-5) (p=0.436) and minor (CD 1-2) postoperative complications (p=0.177), surgery time (p=0.288), mean intraoperative blood loss (p=0.144) and length of hospital-stay (p=0.631). Fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green does not affect the number of detected «positive¼ resection margins (R1) (p=0.883) but significantly increases the number of excised lymph nodes (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Intraoperative angiography and fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green are safe for intraoperative visualization of tumor and lymph nodes, as well as assessment of arterial blood supply. This technique is effective in traditional and minimally invasive surgeries for gastric cancer. Fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green significantly increases the number of excised lymph nodes.

[Innovative endoscopic technologies in multi-field medical facility]. / Innovatsionnye éndoskopicheskie tekhnologii v mnogoprofil'nom uchrezhdenii.

The modern clinical practice is characterized by intensive introduction of innovative technologies for improving treatment and diagnostic procedures, minimizing their impact on the patient, complications rate and economic reasons. One of the priorities in this area is both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. The degree of practical use of innovative endoscopic technologies depends on not only the quality of care, but also their economic reasons. Endoscopic treatment has become the method of choice for gastrointestional bleeding, extraction of foreign bodies, obstructive jaundice, polyps of the gastrointestinal tract, achalasia, esophageal strictures, etc. So, the current state of scientific and technical advances have made minimally invasive surgical intervention one of the main direction of development of surgery. The further improvement will be considered integration of minimally invasive and information technologies. The widespread introduction of minimally invasive surgical techniques in clinical practice indicates their undoubted efficiency and availability, especially in the multidisciplinary hospitals that provide various types of specialized high-technological medical care. This allows to embody the principle of multidisciplinary and personalized approach in the treatment of patients. The main result of such practices is to reduce the duration of inpatient treatment, a significant reduction in the degree of invasive impact and risk of surgical interventions, diagnostic interventions and operations in a 'one-day hospital', with a total increase of efficiency of surgical treatment, and with high quality of life of patients.

[The experience of biliary self-expendable nitinol stents for malignant jaundice].

THE AIM: to analyze the effectiveness and possible complications of endoscopic biliary drainage (BD) using self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) in patients with malignant jaundice (MJ). METHODS: From January 2010 to January 2014 in endoscopy department of Pirogov National medical and surgical Center were operated 64 patients with MJ, 38 of them with SEMS. The average patient's age was 65.4 ± 14.5 years. The mean duration of jaundice was 13 ± 5.4 days before drainage. The remaining 6 patients (15.8%) were operated with preliminary PTBD. In all 38 patients were diagnosed unresectable tumors. RESULTS: successful endoscopic BD were achieved in all 38 patients. 35 patients were drained with transpapillary SEMS and 3 patients with EUS-guided choledochoduodenoanastomoses (EUS-CDA). Early postoperative complications were observed in 3 (7.8%) patients with no lethality. CONCLUSION: endoscopic BD with SEMS is an effective method of internal drainage for inoperable pancreatobiliary tumors, providing adequate BD for the entire duration of life expectancy. In case of failed transpapillary drainage EUS-guided biliodigestive anastomoses were performed. The complication rate of endoscopic BD in patients with malignant pancreatobiliary tumors in our study was 7.8% and comparable with complication level due to ERCP/EST for benign pathology.
