Russia has a high mortality rate of cutaneous melanoma – 2.5 per 100,000 population whereas the incidence rate is 7.7 per 100,000 population, i.e. one in every three patients dies. In the foreign countries (the USA, Australia), melanoma mortality rate is 10-15%. Such high rates are explained by the fact that patients with early-stage disease do not seek medical advice, as in early stages a tumour does not cause inconvenience to a patient and looks like an ordinary mole.The purpose of the study was to confirm the advisability of removing a progressive dysplastic nevus (grade 3 lentiginous melanocytic dysplasia) with a view to prevent and make early diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma.Materials and methods. The authors removed 180 pigmented lesions that were clinically diagnosed as a progressive dysplastic nevus in the Surgery Department of Central Polyclinic of Literary Fund from 2009 to March 2020. The patients were referred to the Surgery Department by physicians, dermatologists and other specialists of the polyclinic. Following an oncologist consultation, excisional biopsy of a nevus was performed under local anesthesia.Results. Histological examination revealed 29 (16%) dysplastic nevi with grade 3 LMD and 18 (10%) early-stage melanomas.Conclusions. If excisional biopsy of a dysplastic nevus becomes routine in Ambulatory Surgery practice, it will increase the early diagnosis of melanoma and significantly reduce mortality rates of this disease. For excisional biopsy, the authors recommend to excise at a distance of 0.5 to 1.0 cm from the lesion boundaries, since it is not possible to clinically distinguish a progressive dysplastic nevus from early melanoma.","PeriodicalId":285016,"journal":{"name":"Нospital-replacing technologies:Ambulatory surgery","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127981740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last 20 years the widespread introduction of ultrasound imaging into clinical practice and the emergence of new endovascular technologies in the treatment of varicose veins have brought about a paradigm shift in the surgical treatment and the introduction of innovative minimally invasive technologies (thermoobliteration, chemical obliteration, microphlebectomy), which can be performed on outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Therefore, the widespread introduction of these technologies into the outpatient practice is the foremost task.Objective of the study. Analyse the results of the experience gained in the St Petersburg polyclinics concerning the introduction of hospital-replacing surgical treatment of varicose vein diseases and appropriate training. Materials and methods. We have performed 854 surgeries including endo-venous laser coagulation (EVLС), sclerobliteration (SO) and Varadi miniflebectomy (MF) under local infiltration anesthesia: EVLC + MF in 71%, MF in 12%, EVLC + SO in 9%, EVLC + MF + SО in 3%, EVLC in 3% and SО in 2% of cases. The patients operated on ranged in age from 19 to 78 years (53 ± 21 g), among them there were 611 women and 202 men. The clinical distribution of patients was in accordance with CEAP classification: C2 – 62%, C3 – 22%, C4a/b – 12%, C5 – 2.5%, C6 – 1.5%.Results and discussion. The evaluation of treatment results based on a retrospective analysis of patients’ examination findings after 1, 39, 180 and 365 postoperative days has demonstrated that there is no evidence of intra- and postoperative complications requiring hospitalization, disease recurrence. However, ecchymosis in 35% of cases, limited superficial infiltrates - in 18%, limited superficial thrombophlebitis - in 0.8% have been reported after MF. They have been treated using topical agents. According to the questionnaire, after a year of treatment 96% of patients appear to be satisfied with the results obtained. After a year payback financial costs have been achieved. An effective practical training program has been developed and implemented for innovative technologies for surgery of varicose veins of lower extremities. 42 physicians of outpatient clinics underwent the program.Conclusions. It can therefore be concluded that the further introduction of innovative technologies into the polyclinics is reasonably practicable as it is safe, effective, expands the population’s access to modern technologies, is economically feasible and is perceived positively by patients, reduces the burden on surgical hospitals, improves professional qualifications and expands the professional competencies of surgeons in outpatient settings.","PeriodicalId":285016,"journal":{"name":"Нospital-replacing technologies:Ambulatory surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123683922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adjustable non-extensible compression bandage is a new product recently registered and approved for clinical use in the Russian Federation. The main indications for its use are severe chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema, which cannot be corrected with traditional bandages and flat knit medical compressions. On the affected limb, an adjustable, non-extensible compression bandage allows high working pressure to be created at low, approaching zero, resting pressure. And depending on the tension of the velcro fastener, the working pressure can be adjusted between 20 and 50 mmHg or more. At the same time, the patient can maintain the actual pressure independently, regardless of the reduction in the volume of the limb. Low resting pressure makes it possible to use this type of bandage all day without the discomfort that is typical for traditional bandages and therapeutic compression knitwear felt by patients during sleep.Clinical case. Patient diagnosed with chronic lymphovenous insufficiency in both lower limbs. CEAP class C5 on the left, CEAP class C5 on the right. After undergoing acute iliofemoral thrombosis on the left, complicated by thromboembolism of small branches of the pulmonary artery, he was treated in a specialized vascular unit, where anticoagulant, antiplatelet and phlebotropic therapy was carried out. After the second episode of deep vein thrombosis, pain in the lower extremities, swelling of the tibia, skin itching and the appearance of small trophic ulcers started to worry, which temporarily closed against the background of increased compression therapy, prescription of phlebotropic drugs and local treatment. Subsequently, large trophic ulcers were formed on the inner surface of both shins above the ankle joint. An adjustable, non-extensible compression bandage was used on the right shin to correct chronic venous insufficiency and heal a trophic ulcer. The use of an adjustable, non-extensible compression bandage within 2 to 4 weeks resulted in the disappearance of chronic swelling, reduction of the pain syndrome, and then 5 months later – led to a reduction in trophic ulcer and the disappearance of infection signs.Conclusions. This clinical case of the successful closure of a large infected trophic ulcer that occurred after deep vein thrombosis against the background of coxarthrosis and which remained unhealed for 7 years clearly illustrates the broad possibilities of an adjustable, nonextensible compression bandage.","PeriodicalId":285016,"journal":{"name":"Нospital-replacing technologies:Ambulatory surgery","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123253879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constipation is one of the most common human diseases. Doctors in England consider constipation a “secret national problem” because 50% of the population takes laxatives.The aim of this work was the introduction of chronomedicine approach to the problem of constipation.Method the study was chronoenterographia – week monitoring of the circadian rhythm of defecation.Materials. More than 2,500 people aged 24–75 years, 66% of women, were examined. The frequency and acrophase of the defecation rhythm and quality of life were analyzed.Results: circadian regular defecation rhythm (Euenteria – 7 times/wk) and irregular (Bradyenteria – 1–6 times/week) was isolated. It is shown that the presence of the morning phase of the defecation rhythm contributes to its regularity, and the absence of this phase increases the risk of constipation by 4 times. The earlier defecation occurs – the less often constipation occurs. Euenteria associated with a high level of quality of life, but Bradyenteria – on the contrary. According to the frequency of defecation, there are 3 stages of Bradyenteria: light (5–6 times/week), moderate (3–4 times/week), severe (1–2 times/week, constipation). The Roman-IV criteria for constipation recommend diagnosing only the severe stage of Bradyenteria (less than 3 times/week), and the first 2 stages of it are not diagnosed.Conclusion. Late diagnosis of constipation leads to complications: hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and colorectal cancer. For the regularity of defecation, the contribution of timely stool phase is commensurate with the complex of adequate nutrition, sufficient physical activity and optimal sleep. In order not to suffer from constipation, you need to know about regularity, timeliness and complexity. In outpatient surgery, polyethylene glycol, psyllium and sodium picosulfate are most often used to restore the regular rhythm of defecation.","PeriodicalId":285016,"journal":{"name":"Нospital-replacing technologies:Ambulatory surgery","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133905303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
