Bile a-Amylase and Lipase - Possible Predictors of Acute Pancreatitis in Case of Bile Duct Stone Impacted at the Major Duodenal Papilla

The results of diagnostics and treatment of 102 patients with bile duct stone impacted at the major duodenal papilla were subject to analysis. The obtained results demonstrate that the level of bile α-amylase and lipase may serve as a predictor of acute biliary pancreatitis progressio

Endoscopic Drainage of the Pancreatic Pseudocyst through the Stomach or Duodenal Wall

In the article we have presented early outcome and long-term outcome of the usage of various methods of endoscopic drainage of the pancreatic pseudocyst through the stomach or duodenal wall in 56 patient

Diagnostics and Treatment of Acute Biliary Pancreatitis

The authors have suggested a new diagnostic algorithm to be applied in case of impacted bile duct stone of major duodenal papilla, based on prognosis of acute pancreatitis according to results of analysis of biochemical bile marker

The Use of Diamond - Like Carbon Coated Surgical Polypropylene Meshes for Incisional Hernia Repair

Application of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated surgical polypropylene meshes compared to similar prostheses without coating at surgical incisional hernia repair enables to decrease intensity of local inflammatory reaction in the operation are

Comparative analysis of tissue reactions during implantation of endoprostheses made of polytetrafluoroethylene in the anterior abdominal wall

The objective of this research was a comparative study of the reaction of the tissues of the anterior abdominal wall to the PTFE-endoprosthesis with a DLC-coating at long-term experimental stage

Possibilities of endovascular hemostasis in treatment of pancreatic bleeding

Pancreatic hemorrhage is one of the most severe complications of various pancreatic diseases that are difficult to treat even in multidisciplinary hospitals. Mortality from pancreatic hemorrhage can reach up to 80%. This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of maintaining endovascular homeostasis in the treatment of patients with pancreatic hemorrhage. This retrospective multicenter study included 45 patients (33 men and 12 women) in the age range of 27-84 year

A case report of successful endovascular treatment of "sentinel bleeding" in patient with adverse anatomy

Surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer, has a high risk of postoperative complications (up to 30-70%) due to its difficulty, one of such undesirable outcomes is bleeding (up to 10% of all post PDE complication. Since 1991, a non-fatal gastrointestinal bleeding or bleeding through drainage that follows PDE, is called - “sentinel bleeding”; and it is a predictor of further massive fatal bleedin

Endoscopic surgical interventions in the treatment of periampullary cancer

In this paper retrospective treatment result analysis of 386 patients with periampullary cancer, complications are carried out by obstructive jaundice. Patients were organized into two groups: the first group patients to whom traditional surgical interventions were applied, and entered the second – treated with endoscopic transpapillary surgeries. We have shown that at the nonresectable cancer of bodies of a pancreatoduodenal zone complicated by obstructive jaundice, endoscopic transpapillary interventions are the main method of decompression of a biliary tree, thus allowing complete avoidance of traditional surgical intervention

Local inflammatory reaction at soft tissue defects reconstruction

The study analyzed the results of surgical treatment among 185 patients with postoperative ventral hernias. All patients were divided into two matched groups. The first group consisted of 128 patients who underwent the plastic operation of abdominal wall defect with the use of mesh prosthesis "Esfil light" ("linteks", Russia). The second group included 57 patients with the plastic operation of abdominal wall defect using the mesh endoprosthesis "Esfil light" and TachoComb® was used additionally (RF patent number 2391051 "Ventral hernia treatment method"
