Screening Ultrasound

In the last three decades, fetal ovarian cysts were diagnosed more frequently, due to technological improvement and the increasing use of prenatal screening ultrasound. Nonetheless, treatment uncertainties are still present, either prenatally or postnatally. Recently, significant innovations on diagnosis and treatment have been proposed and a more conservative, minimally invasive approach may be offered to the Pediatrician or the Surgeon who face with this condition during prenatal or neonatal age.

Background: The treatment of displaced, intra-articular calcaneus fractures is controversial. The extensile lateral approach has been historically preferred because it provides excellent exposure and visualization for fracture reduction. However, soft tissue complications with this approach can lead to poor outcomes for patients. Recently, there has been an interest in the minimally invasive treatment of calcaneus fractures. The purpose of the present study was to determine the radiographic reduction of displaced, intra-articular calcaneus fractures and the rate of complications using a 2-incision, minimally invasive approach. Methods: A dual-incision, minimally invasive approach with plate and screw fixation was utilized for the treatment of 32 patients with displaced, intra-articular calcaneus fractures. Preoperative and postoperative calcaneal measurements were taken to assess fracture reduction. Additionally, a retrospective chart review was performed to assess for complications. Results: The mean preoperative Bohler’s angle measurement was 12.9 (range, –5 to 36) degrees and the final postoperative Bohler’s angle was 31.7 (range, 16-40) degrees. One patient (3.1%) had postoperative numbness related to the medial incision in the calcaneal branch sensory nerve distribution. Two patients (6.2%) had a wound infection treated with local wound care and oral antibiotics, while 1 patient (3.1%) had a deep infection that required a secondary surgery for irrigation and debridement. Two patients (6.2%) returned to the operating room for removal of symptomatic hardware. Conclusion: Operative fixation of displaced, intra-articular calcaneus fractures treated with a 2-incision, minimally invasive approach resulted in acceptable fracture reduction with a minimal rate of complications. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.

Invasive Approach

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) is the most common vascular malformation of the spinal cord. Traditionally it is treated by the standard muscle-splitting midline approach with bilateral laminectomies extending from one level above to one level below the dAVF. We present a minimally invasive approach for ligation of dAVF with concurrent use of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. Minimally invasive watertight dural closure technique is also demonstrated and discussed. The minimally invasive approach with intraoperative ICG results in quicker recovery, early mobilization and shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open approach.The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/mNUeJKLxL3Q.

Ct Data

The purpose of the study. To analyze possibilities of computed tomography (CT) for esophageal injuries and their complications as part of a differentiated approach to the choice of a minimally invasive treatment method.Materials and methods. The results of CT scans were analyzed in 25 patients with esophageal injuries of various etiologies who were treated at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of SP in the period 2019–2020. CT was performed with oral and intravenous bolus contrast, primarily at admission and in dynamics, a total of 77 studies.Results. In all cases, direct and indirect CT signs of esophageal damage were detected, and the degree of involvement of surrounding organs and tissues in the pathological process was assessed. Based on the data obtained, the following variants of esophageal damage and its complications were identified: intramural esophageal hematoma (2); rupture of the thoracic esophagus without the development of purulent complications (2); rupture of the thoracic esophagus complicated by the development of mediastinitis (4); rupture of the thoracic esophagus with the development of mediastinitis and pleural empyema (13); rupture of the cervical calving of the esophagus, complicated by phlegmon of the neck and descending mediastinitis (4). Different patient management tactics were used for each variant. Thus, the selection and sequence of minimally invasive interventions, such as thoracoscopic sanitation mediastinal and pleural cavity, esophageal stenting, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (CEG) and endoscopic vacuum aspiration system (E-VAS), were carried out taking into account CT data, including observations in dynamics.Conclusion. CT scan for esophageal injuries allows you to get complete information about both the nature of esophageal damage and its complications, to determine their type, localization and volume. CT data allow us to justify a minimally invasive approach in the treatment of esophageal injuries, to determine the order of interventions. CT studies performed in dynamics allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and to carry out timely correction of tactics.

Introduction. Harold Hirschsprung, a physician at Queen Louise Children’s Hospital of Copenhagen, first described the disease that now bears his name, at the Pediatric Congress of Berlin in 1886. Since then there have been countless debates on the optimal surgical approach. This paper aims both to recap the main classical surgical techniques: Swenson, Duhamel and Soave, but the main focus is on minimally invasive techniques. Surgical techniques. In the last 25 years, the treatment for Hirschsprung disease has progressed. If classically the preferred treatment was in 2-3 stages, now the definitive intervention is per primam in most cases, thus avoiding the morbidity associated with stomas. In 1995, Georgeson describes the minimally invasive approach using laparoscopy, and then in 1998, De la Torre et al, describes the first transanal endorectal pull-through (TERPT), unattended laparoscopically. Discussions. The initial discussions were linked to comparing processes in a single stage with ones in 2 or 3 stages, finding similar results, it is now a question of comparing open techniques with minimally invasive and even minimally invasive techniques with each other, endeavoring to establish whether laparoscopically assisted approach is needed or if the transanal one is enough. Conclusion. Usually shorter forms of Hirschsprung disease are treated strictly using the transanal technique, for the forms involving the left and transverse colon laparoscopically assisted transanal pull-through is used, while for the ascending colon and for the total aganglionosis the laparoscopically assisted Duhamel procedure is preferred.

Mitral Apparatus

In patients with functional mitral regurgitation, the placement of a sling encircling both papillary muscles in conjunction with mitral annuloplasty appears to be a rational approach for surgical correction, because it addresses both the mitral valve and the deformities of the subvalvular mitral apparatus. Reports in the literature that describe the utilization of this technique are few, and mainly involve a median sternotomy approach. The purpose of this communication is to describe the technical details of performing this procedure via a minimally invasive approach.
