[Methods of determination of the mammary gland volume, its resectable part and their applied significance in organ-preserving surgeries]. / Metodiki opredeliniia ob"ema molochnoi zhelezy, ee rezetsiruemoi chasti i ikh prikladnoe znachenie pri organosokhraniaiushchikh operatsiiakh.

The main aim of the investigation was to work out accessible techniques of calculation of the parameters of the mammary gland (MG) necessary for the surgeons performing organ-preserving operations. Given one parameter only--the arch size of the MG--and using the table of standard parameters of the MG, one can determine the MG volume, the volume of the dissected tissues and the necessary sizes of the myotransplant.

[A "wrapping-up" gastrointestinal anastomosis]. / "Ukutyvaiushchii" zheludochno-kishechnyi anastomoz.

Formation of "wrapping" gastrointestinal anastomosis is suggested to reduce lethality after subtotal resection of the stomach for cancer in patients at high risk for pyo-septic complications. The procedure allows to completely avoid anastomotic leakage and thus decreases lethality by half.
