Thus, the need for special attention of medical specialists in relation to patients of the older age group should be emphasized in terms of the possibility of developing DVT and VTE.A review of the current national and foreign literature is devoted to epidemiology, risk factors, causes, diagnosis and modern treatment approaches for fecal incontinence (FI). Incidence of FI in early and delayed period after childbirth is 30% or more. At the same time, up to 87% of postpartum injuries of anal sphincter remain undiagnosed. Importantly, routine caesarean section does not reduce the risk of incontinence. In addition to typical complaints of spontaneous gas and stool, diagnosis of FI after childbirth includes transrectal ultrasound, MRI, anorectal manometry and pudendal nerve terminal motor latency testing. Survey of proctologists from different regions of Russia revealed a high demand from medical community for educational programs devoted to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with postpartum perineal injuries.

To compare the outcomes of thermal and mechanochemical endovenous ablative techniques in patients with varicose veins.

We searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases for studies devoted to mechanochemical and thermal endovenous ablative techniques from inception until July 2021. The primary outcome was anatomical success. Secondary endpoints were intraoperative pain syndrome, complications, modification of disease severity and quality of life.

This meta-analysis enrolled 10 comparative studies and 1.252 participants after truncal ablations. The follow-up period ranged from 4 weeks to 36 months. With regard to overall anatomical success, 245 out of 267 (91.8%) patients after mechanochemical ablation and 249 out of 266 (93.6%) patients after thermal ablation had favorable results after a month (low-quality evidence; odds ratio [OR] 0.79; 95% CI 0.40-1.55). No statistical heterogeneity was identified (χ

=1.48; df=2;

=0.48; I

=0%). Further analysis identified different incidence of total lation. These data suggest that mechanochemical ablation is a safe alternative for varicose veins. However, further large-scale trials are required to define the role of MOCA.

Mechanochemical ablation is as effective as standard TA within the first postoperative month. However, this approach is associated with lesser anatomical success after 12 months. In most studies, pain syndrome was less severe in case of mechanochemical ablation. These data suggest that mechanochemical ablation is a safe alternative for varicose veins. However, further large-scale trials are required to define the role of MOCA.Bleeding as the most common complication of gastric cancer is a significant problem of modern surgery. Both oncologists and surgeons in ordinary hospitals deal with this adverse event. In addition to the well-known drugs for hemostasis, there are also generally recognized traditional methods of endoscopic hemostasis and transcatheter angiographic embolization. Surgical interventions do not lose their role too if previous hemostatic methods turned out to be ineffective. The reports devoted to radiotherapy for treatment and prevention of gastric bleeding following malignant process have been recently published. Such a wide choice of hemostatic methods prompted us to analyze the most significant recent studies regarding effectiveness of various methods and choice of the most optimal one.

Comparative assessment of immediate and long-term results of robot-assisted and conventional endoscopic technologies in the Russian Federation.

Searching for primary trials devoted to robot-assisted (RAE) and traditional video endoscopic (TVE) surgeries in the Russian Federation was carried out in the e-library and CENTRAL Cochrane databases. We used the recommendations of the Center for Expertise and Quality Control of Medical Care (2017, 2019) and the current version of the Cochrane Community Guidelines (2021). These guidelines define the features of meta-analysis of non-randomized comparative studies. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for statistical analysis.

We enrolled 26 Russian-language primary sources (3111 patients) including 1174 (38%) ones in the RAE group and 1937 (62%) patients in the TVE group. There were no randomized controlled trials in the Russian Federation, and all primary studies were non-randomized. We found no significant between-group differences in surgery time, incidence of intraoperative complications, intraoperative blood loss in thoracic surgery, urology and gynecology, conversion rate, postoperative hospital-stay, postoperative morbidity (in abdominal surgery, urology and gynecology), postoperative mortality. We observed slightly lower intraoperative blood loss for RAE in abdominal surgery and lower incidence of postoperative complications in robot-assisted thoracic surgery. These results can be compromised by methodological quality of comparative studies, significant heterogeneity and systematic errors.

Currently, we cannot confirm the benefits of robot-assisted technologies, since this approach does not worsen or improve treatment outcomes. Further high-quality studies are needed.

Based on the determination of the mechanisms of negative manifestations of surgical aggression in open interventions, compared with laparoscopic, to determine ways to optimize the early postoperative period when using them.

The work is based on clinical and laboratory analysis of 147 patients with acute appendicitis complicated by acute peritonitis. In the first group (

=58), patients were operated with traditional laparotomy access. In the second group (

=47) - laparoscopic interventions were used. In the first and second groups, traditional therapy was carried out according to clinical recommendations. In the third group (

=42), patients were operated with traditional laparotomy access, and in the early postoperative period, their therapy included remaxol (intravenous injections of 800.0 ml of the drug in the first two days, then within three days - 400.0 ml). Laboratory and instrumental studies were carried out in patients, including the level of hydrophilic and hydrophobic toxins in the blood, the significant improvement in the course of the early postoperative period, bringing it closer to that when using laparoscopic technology.

To develop a new validated classification of intervertebral disc degeneration.

A retrospective observational single-center study included medical records of patients with and without degenerative disease of lumbar intervertebral discs. The interval values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of intervertebral discs were grouped into degeneration classes.

The study included medical records of 100 patients. A quantitative analysis of data showed that mean ADC has a significant correlation with severity of lumbosacral disc degeneration according to classification by Pfirrmann et al. Lumbar intervertebral discs with degeneration grade 3-4 were less homogeneous compared to grade 2-3. Among discs with degeneration grade 4, mean ADC was significantly higher in case of hernia (

=0.01). Conversely, mean ADC was significantly higher in the absence of hernia for discs grade 3 (

=0.04). Combination of all data is presented as original classification of lumbosacral disc degeneration based on mean ADC.

The developed classification can be recommended for radiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons.

To offer the ways for safe thyroidectomy aimed at prevention of damage of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients with thyroid and parathyroid diseases.

We analyzed postoperative outcomes after thyroidectomy in 342 patients aged 20-80 years. Topography of recurrent laryngeal nerves was studied on 20 laryngeal-tracheal complexes of deceased patients. Technique of visualization of various segments of recurrent laryngeal nerve was worked out.

Thyroidectomy was performed in 342 patients with thyroid and parathyroid diseases. Thyroidectomy was performed in accordance with recommendations described by F.W. Lahey, W.B. Hoover (1938) and H. Malcolm, M.D. Wheeler (1998). Location of recurrent laryngeal nerve varied in patients with nodular, retrosternal goiter and parathyroid gland adenoma. Comparison of intraoperative and morphological data on recurrent laryngeal nerve visualization showed possible risks of its damage during manipulations on thyroid gland, esophagus and trachea. Our study confirmed the need for visualization and mobilization of recurrent laryngeal nerve in all procedures on thyroid and parathyroid glands. Introduction of the described technique of thyroidectomy and training sessions for recurrent laryngeal nerve mobilization on laryngeal-tracheal complexes reduced postoperative incidence of phonation disorders from 21.6% to 0.98%.

Thyroidectomy may be a safe procedure if surgeons are familiar with the details of surgical technique and prevent damage to adjacent structures.

To determine whether patients with perioperative or previous coronavirus infection (CVI) have a greater risk of venous thromboembolic events

VTE).

A multiple-center regional prospective retrospective cohort study included elective and emergency patients who underwent surgery in November 2020. The primary endpoint was VTE (PE/DVT) within 30 days after surgery. CVI was stratified as perioperative (7 days before surgery - 30 days after surgery), recent (1-6 weeks before surgery) and remote (≥7 weeks before surgery) infection. There was no information about prevention or preoperative anticoagulation at baseline data collection.

Incidence of postoperative VTE was 1.5% (10/650) in patients without CVI, 33.3% (3/9) in patients with perioperative CVI, 18.1% (2/11) in patients with recent CVI and 8.3% (1/12) in patients with remote CVI. After adjusting the confounders, patients with perioperative and recent CVI remained at a higher risk of VTE. In general, VTEs were independently associated with 30-day mortality. In patients with CVI, mortality rate among ones without VTE was 21.7% (5/23), with VTE - 44.4% (4/9).

Patients with perioperative CVI have a higher risk of postoperative VTE compared to those without CVI and patients with previous CVI and no residual symptoms. Mortality in this group is also higher than in other cohorts.

To study the immediate results of angio- and bronchoplastic lobectomies for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in patients over 70 years old.

Thirty-one extended angio- and/or bronchoplastic lobectomies were performed in patients with NSCLC over 70 years old between January 2015 and December 2020. Mean age of patients was 74.5 ± 3.2 years. NSCLC stage IA was found in 5 (16.1%) cases, IB - 11 (35.5%), IIA - 12 (38.7%), IIB - 3 (9.7%) patients. Squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed in 19 (61.3%) patients, adenocarcinoma - in other ones (

=12). All patients had concomitant diseases with predominance of cardiorespiratory pathology. Severity of postoperative complications was assessed according to the Clavien - Dindo grading system.

Mean Charlson index was 5.34 ± 1.46 scores. ASA grade III was observed in 21 patients, grade IV - in 10 patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 12 (38.7%) patients, mortality rate was 6.4%. Prolonged air discharge through pleural drainage tubes (12.9%) and paroxysms of atrial fibrillation (16.
