The analysis of the results of treatment of elderly and senile patients with acute peritonitis showed that a significant proportion of them had postoperative complications – 76 (52.4%): 53 (36.6%) had non–surgical complications, 23 (15.9%) – surgical complications (p = 0.00027). \u0000Conclusions. The Slavien–Dindo scale makes it possible to establish the presence of postoperative complications, but does not allow to find out why they occurred and prevent them.

To retrospectively analyse the results of a new technique of laparoscopic surgery for large and giant hiatal hernias of the esophageal orifice of the diaphragm, which consists in the use of diaphragmatic incisions and mesh implants to reduce the incidence of recurrence and complications. \u0000Materials and methods. During the period from 2010 to 2023, laparoscopic interventions were performed in 62 patients, 43 (69.4%) women and 19 (30.6%) men, with large and giant hiatal hernias of the esophageal orifice of the diaphragm. The average age of the patients was 62.8 years. The diagnostic criteria used to select patients were the size of the hiatal opening and clinical symptoms. Fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy, abdominal computed tomography, and contrast radiography were used to assess the size of the hernia and plan surgical intervention. During the operation, we performed loosening incisions of the diaphragm to reduce the tension during suturing of hiatus defects. Progrip self–locking meshes were also used to close the diaphragmatic defects, which allowed them to be securely fixed without tension and reduce the risk of recurrence. \u0000Results. Most patients had comorbidities that required a special approach during surgery. The average duration of the operations was 132 minutes, which indicates their technical complexity. The postoperative course in most patients was uncomplicated with a minimal recovery period. The average hospital stay was 5.2 days. Recurrence of hernia was detected in 2 (3.2%) of 62 patients, which indicates the effectiveness of the new technique. \u0000Conclusions. The use of a new concept of laparoscopic surgery for large and giant hernias of the esophageal orifice of the diaphragm, which involves the performance of laxative incisions of the diaphragm and the use of self–locking mesh, significantly reduces the incidence of recurrence and complications, which ensures high treatment efficiency and improves the quality of life of patients. The results of the study confirm the importance of an individual approach to the treatment of hiatal hernias and the possibility of optimising laparoscopic techniques to improve their effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":489121,"journal":{"name":"The Ukrainian Journal of Clinical Surgery","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140217517","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 9 years (2014 – early 2023), 47 patients with posttraumatic ischaemia and/or peripheral nerve damage were treated at the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics. Cell therapy, namely the injection of bone marrow aspirate and adipose tissue suspension (cell substrates) into the target muscles, was used in 32 (68.1%) patients (main group), while 15 (31.9%) patients did not undergo cell therapy (control group). In 16 (50%) patients, cell therapy was applied to the upper limb, and in 16 (50%) – to the lower limb.

The treatment with the use of cellular technology in patients with ischaemic and denervation–reinervation injuries of the muscles of the hand and foot had a statistically significant positive effect.

To improve the results of treatment of patients with post–pancreatic resection bleeding. \u0000Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 827 patients who underwent radical resection of the pancreas for malignant tumours in the period from 2010 to 2021 were analysed. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group – 449 patients who were treated at the clinic from 2016 to 2021, and the control group – 378 patients who were treated in the clinic from 2010 to 2015. Postpancreatectomy bleeding occurred in 27 (6.0%) patients in the main group who were treated according to the developed diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm with the maximum use of endovascular techniques, and in 20 (5.3%) patients in the control group who received standard treatment. \u0000Results. X–ray endovascular bleeding control was performed in 14 (51.9%) of 27 patients in the main group: X–ray endovascular occlusion – in 9, by means of stent graft placement – in 5. In 3 (11.1%) patients of the main group, the source of bleeding was not detected during angiography, and they underwent laparotomy with subsequent bleeding control. Complications after X–ray endovascular occlusion occurred in 1 (11.1%) patient, and there were no complications after stent graft placement.
