Perforation of hepatic hydatid cysts into the abdominal cavity in children

Perforation of echinococcal cysts of the liver into the free abdominal cavity was observed in 10 patients. The operative intervention was performed after overcoming the shock in patients, correction of homeostasis. The performance of wide laparotomy, through revision of the abdominal cavity and its sanitation by means of the abundant washing by the furacin solution are important.

Intraoperative angiography in reconstructive surgery of aorto- iliac occlusions

In a group of 182 patients who underwent surgical treatment for aortoiliac occlusions 172 had to be subjected to intraoperative distal angiography. The operative tactics in this case was determined by the degree of affection of the peripheral vessels and the character of collateral circulation, which were appraised from the findings of the operative angiograms. According to this, all patients were divided into 4 groups. Two patients developed complications linked with faulty appraisal of the drainage paths.     

Nonspecific aortoarteritis and vasorenal hypertension

The article deals with the experience in surgical treatment of 157 patients with vasorenal hypertension consequent upon unspecific aortoarteritis. On the grounds of communications in the literature and their own clinical findings, the authors analyse the character of the affection in unspecific aortoarteritis and the peculiarities of the course of vasorenal hypertension and emphasize the malignancy of its course and inefficacy of nonoperative treatment. The indications and contraindications for various reconstructive operations on the renal arteries and the dependence of the results of surgery on the duration of the disease and the term of the operative intervention are discussed in detail. The authors also describe their experience in the modern methods of kidney revascularization. With the use of radiologically guided endovascular dilatation and an nitinol endoprosthesis they not only expanded considerably the possibilities of intervention on the renal vessels but improved the results of the management of vasorenal hypertension.
