The prospective investigation of 185 patients (118 men and 67 women in the age of 35–79 years (on the average 60±9 years) with atherosclerotic renovascular disease was carried out. The disease was detected by one- (62%) and two- (38%) hemodynamic value (>50%) of renal artery stenosis. Renal function, arterial pressure, cardiovascular death cases were estimated in 4 groups of patients during the period of 2,5–126 months (on the average 33 months). The patients of the first group (n=103) were undergone the renal revascularization (51 open and 80 endovascular). The patients of the second group (n=20) were after combined open renal revascularization (25) and after performed reconstruction of abdominal aorta and its branches and lower extremities arteries concerning aneurysmatic and occlusive lesions. The patients of the third group (n=19) had only reconstruction of lower extremities arteries concerning their ischemia without renal revascularization. The patients of the fourth group (n=43) haven’t been operated because of the refusal of intervention. The lowest rate of survival was in the fourth group, who used the conservative therapy. Long-term survival didn’t differ after open and endovascular therapy. The Koks regression analysis showed, that the improvement of long-term survival of the patients was associated with renal revascularization [Exp (B)=0,25, p<0,001] and didn’t depend on the method of renal arteries reconstruction. A strategy of careful selection of patients with the application of interdisciplinary approach should be the base of clinical practice in renovascular disease.

An analysis of modern methods of diagnostics such as morphological, immunohistochemical and spectral, which included the bronchoscopy and spectrometry by using reflectance and autofluorescent regime, was made. The data involved the results of prospective follow-up study of 167 patients (620 biopsies). An obligatory spectrometry of suspicious area was carried out before the forceps biopsy. The microslides, which met the requirements of criteria of one of the carcinogen steps (n=201), were subjected to the in-depth morphological and immunohistochemical investigations. The tendency of angiogenesis (CD31 and CD34), proliferative activity (Ki-67), level of apoptosis (P53), EGFR expression were estimated. The sensitivity of combined endoscopic method was 94,74% by specificity 79,95% and high prognostic value of negative endoscopic diagnosis — 99,4%.

An analysis of surgical treatment of 162 patients with lung echinococcosis was made. The main group consisted of 74 patients with combined forms of echinococcosis of the lung and other organs. They were treated in clinic in the period of time since 1982 till 2011 years. The control group included of 88 patients with echinococcosis of lung and the patients were followed-up in the period of time since 1991 till 2000. Plasma technology was applied in all patients of control group. The patients from main group (25) were operated by using the conventional methods and 49 patients — with the application of plasma technology. An analysis shows a reliable reduction of the rate of postoperative complications after application of plasma technology in 4 times. The lethality significantly decreased in this group of patients.

The article is devoted to the choice of antireflux procedure in surgery of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The mechanisms of the most popular antireflux operations are described. The criteria for selecting options of reconstructions gastroesophageal junction are presented in the article. The theoretical propositions are supported by the results of clinical observations.

An analysis of efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is presented in this article in 55 patients with liver cancer (82 interventions). According to the data of ultrasound investigations and computer tomography taken after 12 months from the first procedure, there weren’t noted the growth of foci, which were subjected to RFA. Recurrent sessions using RFA were carried out on liver tumors in 6 patients after 3–11 months because of big size of primary lesion or newly revealed liver metastases. The cumulative one-year survival consisted of 88,2±7,9%, two-year survival — 68,0±14,1%.

The research included 40 patients with chronic trophic ulcers of lower extremities of different etiology (arterial insufficiency — 14 patients, venous insufficiency — 20 patients, diabetic foot syndrome — 6 people). According to the data of prime bacteriological inoculation, the main pathogens were: gram-positive coccus (Staphylococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus — 75%, Staphylococcus epidermidis — 7,5%) and yeast-like fungi (Candida albicans — 7,5%). Microbial semination in plentiful quantity (more than 10⁶ KOE) was detected at first inoculation in 85% of the patients. The ointment «Oflomelid» was applied for the patients. After 20 days, the lack of growth and the decrease of contamination level (lower than critical (less than 10² KOE) were noted. A visual analog scale estimated an intensity of pain in patients and it consisted of 39,8% before the treatment, 27,1% — after 10 days, 14,6% — after 20 days. The «Oflomelid» application allowed the reduction of the terms of wound cleansing from nonviable tissues in majority of patients and gained the fast transition from the granulation to epithelization phase. The principle of wound management with the application of ointment «Oflomelid» should be followed in a moist environment. A modern wound dressing must be used after the ointment. This shortened the terms of separate-phase wound repair and decreased the terms of the whole period of trophic ulcers repair in patients with vascular and endocrine pathology.

Generally recognized factor, which complicates the course of sepsis, is the development of hypercoagulation syndrome. The increase of thrombin coagulation indicates on the elevation of risk of thrombus formation in microcirculation vessels, which could cause the formation of multiple organ failure. The thrombin generation assay is a new method of the evaluation of homeostasis system status. The test reflects the fermentation activity of thrombin and shows the functional condition, which arises in the interaction of procoagulant and anticoagulant. The diagnosis of generalized peritonitis had 30 patients (18 men and 12 women, aged 61±18,3 years) and they were included in the research. It was shown, that the use of thrombin generation assay in patients with the abdominal sepsis could give the well-timed analysis of hypercoagulation changes and the assessment of protein C system investment in the thrombin generation.

The article describes the clinical case and analyzes the literature concerning endoprosthesis replacement in the case of traumatic thoracic aortic injury in polytrauma. Current strategy of diagnostics and treatment of patient in critical condition with rupture of isthmic aortic part is based on the principle of multistage surgical treatment (damage control orthopedic). The external fixation of multiple pelvis and extremities fractures and on-time implantation of stent-graft in thoracic aortic part were performed at first hours after the admission. A condition of the patient was stabilized. The delayed reconstructive operations on pelvis and extremities bones allowed obtaining the satisfactory functional result. The principles of staged surgical treatment and the use of on-time high-technology methods allowed saving life for the patient even in critical situation in I level traumatologic centre.

The frequency of use of assist blood device as the «bridge» to the heart transplantation increased in last years. An assessment of results of first 7 implantations of assist circulation device using biventricular type «Excor» was made. The implantations were performed in Federal Almazov centre of the heart, blood and endocrinology. An observation period after implantation was since 11 till 301 days. The heart transplantation of 4 patients was carried out in different terms after implantation. One of the patients passed away on the fifth day due to the pulmonary embolism. Another patient died on the eleventh day after the implantation because of multiple organ failure against the background of severe chronic cardiac failure. The waiting list of heart transplantation includes 2 patients.

The rupture of infrarenal segment of aorta is the severe pathology in spite of modern diagnostics and the operation. This case is accompanied by negative results of treatment (lethality consists of 56,3%). The article presents the experience of treatment of 157 patients with the rupture of infrarenal segment of aorta in conditions of multifield hospital (Municipal hospital № 26). The authors highlighted the postoperative complications, their influence on negative outcome. It was shown, that the main reasons of negative outcome of such patients with abdominal aortic aneurism, complicated by the rupture, were an advanced age of patients, who had the complex of concomitant diseases and postoperative complications such as nosocomial pneumonia, cardiac problems and multiple organ failure due to massive acute hemorrhage.

A retrospective analysis of medical history of 1489 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax was made. The patients were hospitalized to the department of thoracic surgery in municipal hospital № 2. According to the data, the incidence rate of primary spontaneous pneumothorax was noted in men during last decade in Saint-Petersburg. The number of patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax didn’t considerably increase in spite of the growth of incidence of chronic obstructive lung disease. The secondary spontaneous pneumothorax took place in female population two times more, than in male.

In connection with the development of endovideosurgical technologies, they are actively used for the treatment of organic hyperinsulinism. The robotized interventions have been applied in the last years. The experience of the laparoscopic and robotized operations performed on 7 patients with established diagnosis of organic hyperinsulinism was shown by the authors. The treatment was effective in all cases. The postoperative period was without complications in majority of patients. An acute postoperative pancreatitis with formation of acute liquid accumulation occurred in one case. This case required the performing of percutaneous puncture interventions using ultrasonics control. Thus, the application of endovideosurgical technologies was accompanied by low percent (14%) of postoperative complications.

Nowadays, according to data of WHO, the diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in more than 280 million people. The diabetes mellitus type II had 90% patients. The applied methods of conservative therapy seldom lead to euglycemia condition of patients. Last years the treatment of diabetes mellitus was carried out by the method of different bariatic interventions. Good results was obtained, they should be analyzed and investigate. The results of treatment of 142 patients from 628 patients (with type II) were estimated. The patients were undergone by different bariatic interventions. Modern laparoscopic operations were performed on all the patients. Controlled bandage of stomach had 81 of patients. Gastric resection was performed in 28. Gastric bypass surgery was carried out in 22 of patients and biliopancreatic diversion — in 11. The improvement of control of leukemia level was obtained. Diabetes type II could be treated by surgical methods. The best results were obtained after combined operations, which potentially could present an alternative method of treatment of type II diabetes.

An analysis of results of «nonstrain» methods of hernioplasty is presented in the elderly and senile patients with the pronounced accompanying pathology in the overwhelming majority of patients (93,5%). The Lichtenstein and Trabucco operations are suggested in these cases. The article describes the technique of «nonstrain» and seamless hernioplasty in detail.

The experience of plasty of the pharynx and esophagus with graft of the free small intestine segment was presented in 12 children after burn stricture by the potassium permanganate. The technical aspects of operation using methods of the reconstructive vascular surgery were described. Good short-term result was obtained in all the patients. The long-term results were investigated during 15 years. It was observed, that the graft diverticulum developed by 4–7 years in 3 patients, whom repeated operation should be performed. According to the authors, the regional plasty of the esophagus by free revasculizated small intestine graft was really effective surgical supply and could be considered as the method of choice in limited scarry lesions of the pharynx and cervical esophagus, but the method should be improved.

A comparative assessment of buffer activity of reamberin and polyoxyfumaren was made. Their influence on systemic consumption of oxygen, content of lactate in blood, parameters of central hemodynamics were followed. The research includes 44 victims (aged 25–70 years) with severe shockogenic injuries. Reamberin was included in composition of fluid therapy of I group (n=30) and polyoxyfumaren was used in II group (n=14). Parameters of acid-base balance of arterial blood, VO_², VCO_², contents of lactate in mixed venous blood, parameters of central hemodynamics were measured in monitor regimen before the infusion. It was proved, that the intravenous infusion of reamberin and polyoxyfumaren accompanied by reliable rise of minute consumption of oxygen (27 and 18% respectively). The drugs decrease the lactate level in blood, reliably increase buffer capacity of blood, correct the metabolic acidosis. Both antihypoxanthines allow the increase of minute volume of circulation: reamberin on 15%, polyoxyfumaren on 34,9%. The volemic effect of polyoxyfumaren resulted in the increase of circular plasma volume after finishing the infusion on 49,5%, in the case of reamberin — on 16%.

The authors analyzed the data of 281 cases of iatrogenes of manipulator character in abdominal surgery in order to investigate the circumstances and character of origin. There were 187 cases of operative confirmation and 84 cases of unintentional intraoperative retained foreign bodies. It was detected, that primary planned intervention of higher category of complexity should be related to the high risk group of the development of the operative confirmation. Retained foreign bodies with soft fabric base were diagnosed in early postoperative period as the result of the beginning of postoperative complications. The retained foreign bodies with tough backer material as a rule didn’t cause the complications in early postoperative period. They were diagnosed in long-term postoperative period in majority of cases.

The retrospective analysis of surgical and rehabilitation treatment of 172 patients with neurotrauma was made. The patients were treated in Russian Polenov Neurosurgical Institute and Municipal hospital of St. Elizabeth in the period since 2009 till 2012. Rehabilitation of different types of neurotrauma presented the system of surgical and recovery methods of treatment, which should be used in a short term after damage. Means of internal cerebral decompression, including drainage of ecephalocoel and cerebral basal cistern and the tentoriotomy, should be used in acute period of craniocerebral trauma according to morphometric data of beam inspection. Management of wound by means of laser or LED radiation, SHWF-therapy, magnetic and electrostimulation were the effective methods of neurorehabilitation. It is noted, that 73 (43,4%) patients returned to a former employment rate among 172 victims, though 26 patients had a moderate invalidization. An average figures of Glasgow scale outcomes were 1,9±0,2.

An analysis of 93 patients with traumatic intracranial hematomas of different degree of severity of craniocerebral trauma was made. The patients consist of 59 (63,4%) boys and 36 (36,6%) girls. In most cases, the cause of craniocerebral injury was a fall from variable-heights 56 (60,2%) patients. Cerebral symptoms dominate in examined children more than nidal symptoms. The evidence of meningeal symptoms was in direct proportion to the severity of brain contusion and disappeared by 7–8 days after trauma in majority of cases. In almost all cases, the traumatic intracranial hematomas were diagnosed on the basis of computerized tomographic system data. The choice of treatment strategy was determined according to neurological symptomatology and CT findings.

The article presents an analysis of long-term experience of treatment of 128 patients with benign esophagus and esophageal anastomosis strictures in Kirov Military Medical Academy. This significant data included all possible variations of scarry esophageal strictures according their etiology, localization and the extension. The wide range of methods, which involved the different variants of bouginage, balloon dilation, stenting, electrosurgical dissection and resection of the stomach, were applied in treatment of the patients. The analysis of immediate and long-term results allowed detecting the criteria of choice and indication for use of the methods or their combination. Practical recommendations reflect the strategy of each variant of treatment and have the specific character. Possible complications and negative results of irrational application of different methods were presented. The immediate and long-term results gave evidence of the successful treatment of the patients with scarry esophagus and esophageal anastomosis strictures.
