[Unilateral intracavernous phalloprosthetics of erectile dysfunction]. / Odnostoronnee intrakavernoznoe falloprotezirovanie érektil'noi disfunktsii.

258 patients with erectile dysfunction have undergone incomplete intracavernous phalloprosthetic operation (ICFPO) to maximally preserve unaffected cavernous tissue. Indications for this procedure are formulated. Adequate axial stability of the phallus after ICFPO was ensured by improved design of the monolithic polyethylene rod. Changes were also made in the operative technique of ICFPO to reduce the scope of surgical intervention and operative trauma. Outcomes of the surgery and results of postoperative examinations showed ICFPO to promote recovery or improvement of erection in most of the patients. Minimal traumatism, functional effectiveness and outpatient setting say in favor of this method for surgical treatment of some forms of erectile dysfunction.

[Effect of biliary decompression on the results of the surgical treatment of gunshot wounds of the liver]. / Vliianie zhelchnoi dekompressii na rezul'taty khirurgicheskogo lecheniia ognestrel'nykh ranenii pecheni.

The purpose of this study consisted in providing experimental grounds to prove the efficiency of the biliferous tract decompression at surgical treatment of gunshot wounds of the liver. The experiments were carried out on 39 dogs. It was ascertained that within 3 to 5 days after gunshot injury to the liver the conditions for normal bile discharge from the liver into the duodenum get hampered. The decompression of the biliferous system in the postoperative period resulted in the decrease of the severity and duration of posttraumatic bile decompression and exerted an appreciable effect upon the lowering of the lethality.
