RESUMEN
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrinopathy. Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited endocrine tumor predisposition syndrome, with one of main manifestations being primary hyperparathyroidism. We retrospectively evaluated a set of 1011 patients who underwent surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism between the years 2018-2022, and found 78 (8 %) patients who underwent reoperations and 27 patients with MEN1 syndrome. In the group of patients with MEN1 syndrome, 7 (35 %) needed reoperations. Patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome have a higher risk of needing reoperation. Genetic testing can help identify MEN1 syndrome preoperatively and to better evaluate the approach to surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Parathyroid and thyroid diseases are ones of the most common endocrine diseases, but simultaneous surgical treatment of both endocrine systems is still under discussion. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 1,574 patients operated for primary hyperparathyroidism at the 3rd Department of Surgery, 1st Faculty Medicine, Charles University and University Hospital Motol in Prague with the thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound reports available. The patients were divided into two groups - with and without thyroid surgery. RESULTS: Thyroid surgery was performed in 34% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Group 2, where thyroid surgery was performed, showed a higher proportion of reported abnormal thyroid sonographic findings (74%), a higher proportion of bilateral throat exploration (69%) and a longer hospital stay (3.3 days). CONCLUSION: A patient indicated for surgery for parathyroid disease should also be indicated for possible thyroid surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Retrosternal goiter is an enlarged thyroid mass of which more than 50% is located in the mediastinum. Indications for surgery of retrosternal goiter include ineffective pharmacological treatment, mechanical syndrome, suspicion of malignancy and thyrotoxicosis. Computed tomography is the gold standard in the diagnosis of retrosternal goiter. The surgery can be performed from a cervical incision, using sternotomy or thoracotomy. METHODS: The aim of our study was to evaluate our own group of retrosternal goiters. In 2011-2019, 1739 thyroid surgeries were performed at the 3rd Department of Surgery, University Hospital Motol, Prague. We retrospectively followed the age, gender, retrosternal spreading, postoperative complications (especially hypocalcemia, bleeding and dysphonia) and the definitive histological finding. RESULTS: Retrosternal goiters were presented in 202 (19.2%) of the total of 1739 thyroid surgery patients. Sternotomy was performed in 31 patients. Women (61%) predominated over men (39%). The mean operating time was 125 minutes. We did not detect any serious postoperative bleeding necessitating surgical revision. Temporary hypocalcemia was observed in 10 patients (32%) based on laboratory testing. Unilateral iatrogenic vocal cord paresis was observed in 6 patients (19.4%) and was permanent in 3 patients (9.3%). One patient passed away soon after the operation, nevertheless the death was related to a simultaneously planned cardiothoracic procedure. CONCLUSION: The retrosternal goiter can be removed using the cervical approach in most cases. Total thyroidectomy using sternotomy is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, higher blood loss and longer hospital stay; nevertheless, it does not increase the risk of long-term postoperative complications. Procedures requiring sternotomy or thoracotomy should be done at centers experienced in these types of procedures.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between OPRM1 and ABCB1 polymorphisms on pain relief with epidural sufentanil in 69 patients after rectosigma resection for cancer. The median number of injections (SD) 2.31 (1.36), IQR=1, required by 118AA subjects was significantly lower in comparison with 118AG group 5.25 (3.13), IQR=6.5, (chi(2)=9.75, p=0.001); correspondingly median drug consumption of 1.16 (0.79), IQR=1.083, defined daily doses (DDD) was significantly less in the 118AA group in comparison with 2.14 (1.17), IQR=2.23, DDD in 118AG subjects, (chi(2)=7.00, p=0.008). Opioid-induced adverse effects were observed in 15 % and 33 % of patients in 118AA and 118AG groups, respectively (chi(2)=8.16, p=0.004). The median number of injections (SD) required by women and men was 3.30 (2.16), IQR=2, and 2.80 (1.59), IQR=1, respectively (chi(2)=6.25, p=0.012). Opioid-induced adverse effects were observed in 26 % and 12 % of women and men, respectively (chi(2)=5.49, p=0.011). Heterozygotes of OPRM1 polymorphism and women were more difficult to treat subpopulations that required higher doses of rescue analgesic medication and suffered more adverse effects.

In this prospective study, the role of the intact parathormone (iPHT) levels for the verification of pathologic parathyroid tissue removal during parathyroidectomy, was analyzed in 441 patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. The level of intact parathormone was obtained before the initial incision (baseline level) and 10 minutes after the pathologic parathyroid gland removal (control value). In 80 % of cases, the decrease of intact parathormone was more than 50 % of the baseline level. The comparison of preoperative and postoperative intact parathormone levels can also be used as marker of parathyroid hyperplasia or persistent hyperparathyroidism. This method is necessary mainly for performance of focused, miniinvasive approaches as well as in reoperations. This method is of significant benefit in cases of negative preoperative examination methods. The determination of intact parathormone level increases the success of parathyroidectomy (Ref. 26).

INTRODUCTION: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disease caused by elevated secretion of parathyroid hormone from pathological parathyroid glands. After the diagnosis, the success of its surgical solution depends predominantly on surgical management and experience of the surgeons. A special group is formed by ectopic localizations of pathologically enlarged parathyroid glands in the mediastinum, which require a modified surgical approach. When the adenoma is deep in the mediastinum, sternotomy or thoracotomy is indicated; alternatively, a minimally invasive approach can be used - videothoracoscopic thymectomy. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a patient with normocalcemic recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism. This patient underwent a minimally invasive video-assisted thymectomy after scintigraphic confirmation of parathyroid adenoma in the mediastinum. CONCLUSION: The removal of parathyroid adenoma in the mediastinum using the videothoracoscopic method is safe. Compared to sternotomy, this method improves the postoperative period, reduces the length of stay and provides more comfort to patients. We recommend considering the videothoracoscopic method in cases where the pathologically enlarged parathyroid gland is localized in the inferior and anterior mediastinum. KEY WORDS: primary hyperparathyroidism adenoma of glandula parathyroidea - mediastinum miniinvasive.

Genetic factors may contribute to the differential response to opioids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between polymorphisms of µ1-opioid receptor gene OPRM1 (rs1799971), and P-glycoprotein transporter gene ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs2032582), and piritramide efficacy under postoperative patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). In 51 patients, OPRM1 variant was associated with decreased efficacy in early postoperative period evidenced by sum of pain intensity difference in the 0-6 h postoperative period (SPID(0-6)), (F=3.27, p=0.029). Mean (SD) SPID(0-6) was observed in the 118AA genotype 22.9 (6.1) mm, which was significantly higher from the 118GG genotype 10.0 (4.4) mm, p=0.006. The lowest cumulative dose was recorded in 118AA genotype 19.1 (9.8) mg, which was significantly less than in the 118GG genotype group 36.6 (6.1) mg, p=0.017. Opioid-induced adverse effects were observed in 11, 30, and 100 % of patients in 118AA, 118AG, and 118GG genotype groups, respectively (p<0.05). Piritramide efficacy and safety was not significantly affected by ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs2032582) polymorphisms. Variant OPRM1 118G allele is associated with decreased acute postoperative pain relief after piritramide. Decreased efficacy leads to higher drug consumption under PCA settings, which however, does not fully compensate insufficient pain relief, but increases incidence of adverse effects.

We present the case of a 26-year-old female patient with coincidental ultrasound finding of a neck tumour located below the left thyroid lobe. The tumour slightly increased in size over a year. Fine needle aspiration indicated the neuroectodermal origin of the tumour and surgical removal was performed. Although the tumour mass was carefully and successfully removed, post-operational Horners syndrome appeared. The tumour tissue was diagnosed as ganglioneuroma by histopathology.

Colorectal cancer represents the most common tumour of the gastrointestinal tract and the second most common tumour in men as well as women. The trend of increasing incidence of colorectal cancer is alerting. We undertook a retrospective study on 588 patients with rectal cancer and operated by rectal resection with anastomosis between the years 2002-2012. In our sample, we observed 54 (9.2 %) cases of anastomosis insufficiencies requiring reoperation. Out of 54 insufficient anastomoses, 36 (66 %) were in the lower two thirds of the rectum and only 18 (34 %) in the oral one. Although we have observed similar occurrences of anastomosis insufficiency in both groups - classical vs. staple suture (9.5 % and 9.0 %, respectively), the majority of stapler anastomoses (94 %) were made in the aboral part of the rectum. However, we can state that a majority of authors prefer the staple anastomosis as the one with lowest risk, mainly in the distal region of anastomosis. The high ligation of inferior mesenteric artery was performed in 182 (31 %) patients; out of these, we observed anastomosis insufficiency in 12 cases (22 %), which is exactly similar to that in the group of patients without high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery. We did not observe the use of antibiotics in therapeutical doses as a positive factor for anastomosis insufficiencies, and neither was oncological therapy observed as a risk factor. In our group of patients we agreed that age, level of anastomosis and corticosteroids are high-risk factors. The purpose of these reports, is for the sake of future to share and reference our experiences with cases of rectal and rectosigmoideal resection over the last 11 years. We consider it important to reference our results, especially the risk factors regarding the healing of rectal anastomosis, because anastomotic healing is a surgical problem with potentially deadly consequences for patients (Tab. 4, Ref. 24).

We discuss the benefits of imaging methods in localizing ectopic parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. The ectopic localizations are discussed within the context of the orthotopic norm. In the sample of 123 patients, a 23% rate of ectopic parathyroid glands was detected. Three selected case studies are presented, supporting the benefit of SPECT/CT imaging in terms of surgical access strategy selection.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic results in the patients who underwent L5-S1 fixation using the technique of percutaneous lumbar interbody fusion (AxiaLIF). MATERIAL: The study comprised 23 patients, 11 women and 12 men, who ranged from age of 21 to 63 years, with an average of 48.2 years. In all patients surgical posterior stabilisation involving the L5-S1 segment had previously been done. The initial indications for surgery were L5-S1 spondylolisthesis in 20 and L5-S1 spondylosis and stenosis in three patients. METHODS: The AxiaLIF technique for L5-S1 fixation was indicated in overweight patients and in those after repeated abdominal or retroperitoneal surgery. A suitable position and shape of the sacrum or lumbosacral junction was another criterion. The patients were evaluated between 26 and 56 months (average, 40.4 months) after primary surgery and, on the basis of CT and radiographic findings, bone union and lumbosacral junction stability were assessed. The clinical outcome was investigated using the ODI and VAS systems and the results were statistically analysed by the Wilcoxon test for paired samples with statistical significance set at a level of 0.05. RESULTS: The average VAS value was 6.6 before surgery and, after surgery, 5.2 at three months, 4.2 at six months, 3.1 at one year, 2.9 at two years and 2.1 at three years (n=18). At two post-operative years, improvement in the VAS value by 56.1% was recorded. The average pre-operative ODI value was 25.1; the post-operative values were 17.0 at six months, 12.3 at one year, 10.6 at two years and 8.2 at three years (n=18). At two years after surgery the ODI value improved by 57.8%. To the question concerning their willingness to undergo, with acquired experience, surgery for the same diagnosis, 21 patients (91.3%) gave an affirmative answer. Neither screw breakage nor neurovascular damage or rectal injury was found. CT scans showed complete interbody bone fusion in 22 of the 23 patients (95.6%), In one patient the finding was not clear. Also, posterolateral fusion was achieved in all but one patients (95.6%). A stable L5-S1 segment was found in all patients at all follow-up intervals. The improvement in both VAS and ODI values was statistically significant. DISCUSSION: In addition to indications usual in degenerative disc disease, overweight patients, those who had repeated trans- or retroperitoneal surgery in the L5-S1 region or who underwent long posterior fixation to stabilise the caudal margin of instrumentation are indicated for the AxiaLIF procedure. The clinical results of our study are in agreement with the conclusions of other studies and are similar to the outcomes of surgery using other types of fusion or dynamic stabilisation for this diagnosis. The high rate of fusion in our group is affected by use of a rigid transpedicular fixator together with posterolateral arthrodesis. On the other hand, no negative effects of only synthetic bone applied to interbody space were recorded. CONCLUSIONS: The percutaneous axial pre-sacral approach to the L5-S1 interbody space with application of a double-treaded screw is another option for the management of this much strained segment. The technique is useful particularly when contraindications for conventional surgical procedures are present in patients with anatomical anomalies, in overweight patients or in those who have had repeated surgery in the region. Clinical outcomes and the success rate for L5-S1 bone fusion are comparable with conventional techniques. Complications are rare but their treatment is difficult.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present work was to assess the incidence of parathyroid glands hyperplasia or adenoma in patients with various stages of chronic renal insufficiency using 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) SPECT and 3D subtraction technique with 99mTc-pertechnetate (Tc). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Sixty one patients underwent hybrid SPECT with low-dose CT of the parathyroid glands and thyroid SPECT scintigraphy. Thirty six patients were with chronic kidney disease (CKD) without renal failure (RF) and 25 patients underwent peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis. In each patient, two SPECT studies were performed - an early and a late one with low dose of CT with MIBI injection. Additional SPECT was performed on another day with Tc. SPECT studies were evaluated visually using volume rendering method and semi-quantitatively by 3D subtraction of Tc SPECT from early MIBI SPECT. RESULTS: From all 61 patients, 40/61 (66%) findings were positive, 7/61 (12%) inconclusive, and 14/61 (23%) negative. Solitary lesions were detected in 22 patients. More than one lesion was found in 18 patients. CONCLUSION: The incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism was detected in 40/61 patients (66%) with chronic kidney disease using scintigraphy and 16 patients (40%) from them underwent surgery. MIBI SPECT/low dose CT with 3D dual - tracer subtraction (MIBI-Tc) method is an effective tool for preoperative detection of the parathyroid glands hyperplasia or adenoma.

INTRODUCTION: This paper deals with the results of recently published studies on the importance of the use of antibiotics in the treatment of uncomplicated diverticulitis. It is based on the articles available in the Medline database. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of diverticulosis in the developed countries of the Western world is increasing and, along with it, the costs of treatment of diverticulitis. The use of antibiotics in the treatment of uncomplicated diverticulitis does not reduce the incidence of complications or shorten the treatment, nor does it reduce the risk of recurrence.

Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding represents 5% of all cases of bleeding into the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The cause of this type of bleeding cannot be found by gastroscopy or colonoscopy - the most common cause being bleeding from the source in the small intestine. In other cases it is bleeding from other parts of the digestive tube which has already stopped or was not noticed during admission endoscopy. Imaging methods (X-ray, CT, MRI, scintigraphy) and endoscopic methods (flexible or capsule enteroscopy) are used in the diagnosis and treatment. If, despite having used these methods, the source of bleeding is not found and the bleeding continues, or if the source is known but the bleeding cannot be stopped by radiologic or endoscopic intervention, surgical intervention is usually indicated. The article provides an overview of current diagnostic and treatment options, including instructions on how to proceed in these diagnostically difficult situations.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of prospective study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of piritramide in patients after removal of parathyroid glands in relation to MDR1 genotype. In the treatment of moderate acute postoperative pain, piritramide plays a major role. It is difficult to predict its optimal therapeutic efficacy and tolerability in individual patients. METHODS: We compared the effect of piritramide in 56 patients after surgical removal of parathyroid glands in a prospective study. We evaluated pain intensity, pain difference and sum of pain difference (SPID) using visual analogue scale (VAS in mm) and adverse effects in the relationship with the MDR1 - polymorphism of G2677T/A. RESULTS: In the wild-type group (2677GG), there was maximal pain difference of 30.6 ± 24.9 and SPID of 209.33 ± 95.80 while in genotype 2677TT and 2677GT, the corresponding values were 19.5 ± 25.5 and 147.07 ± 91.38, respectively. In group of patients with wild type of 2677GG genotype, there was 80 % of responders with more than 50 % reduction in VAS as compared to baseline while in group with carriers of 2677T allele, there are only 39 % of responders present (χ² = 5. 83; p = 0.016). Furthermore, the total consumption of piritramide was lower in comparison with the variant-allele carrying group (p = 0.008). The total incidence of adverse drug reactions was observed in 40 % of patients with wild type of 2677GG genotype when compared to 83% in the group carrying the variant allele (χ² = 7.92; p = 0.005). Significantly more patients in the wild-type group were satisfied with postoperative pain treatment in comparison to the variant allele group (χ² = 6. 49; p = 0.0109). CONCLUSION: We observed a better analgesic effect of piritramide and a decreased incidence of side effects in the wild-type genotype (2677GG) group, when compared with variant-allele carrying patients (Tab. 2, Fig. 1, Ref. 7).

The aim of prospective study was to evaluate the pain relief in the postoperative period and consumption of opioid and non-opioid analgesics as a risk factor of the anastomotic insufficiency after rectal and rectosigmoideal resection for carcinoma. Anastomotic insufficiency is one of the most feared and life threatening early complications. No articles about the effect of the response to opioid therapy in the postoperative period on the risk of this major clinical problem have been published. We compared the effect of opioid and non-opioid analgesics in 109 patients who underwent rectal and rectosigmoideal resection in a prospective study. We evaluated the appearance of anastomotic insufficiency and clinical conditions in the relationship with the pain relief in the postoperative period and consumption of opioid and non-opioid analgesics. The pain intensity and the consumption of analgesics were significantly increased in the group of nonresponders. The rate of PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting) in the responders and nonresponders groups was 69% and 78%, respectively. However, the differences did not reach significant level. Other clinical conditions were not significantly different between the both groups, too. The difference in the incidence of anastomotic insufficiency between both groups was highly significant, 6% cases of anastomotic insufficiency in the responders group and 19% in nonresponders group (χ2 = 7.73; p=0.0054). Nonrespoders to opioid therapy and their high consumption of second-line analgesics is a high risk factor for anastomotic insufficiency.

INTRODUCTION: Carcinoma of the parathyroid glands is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism with an incidence of 1%. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This article presents an up-to-date review of the literature illustrated by three clinical cases in the form of case reports. RESULTS: Parathyroid carcinoma is usually not detected before the first operation. Symptoms of carcinoma of the parathyroid glands are similar to those of benign adenoma. Patients with parathyroid carcinoma usually have a higher level of calcium in serum and a higher level of parathormone. Imaging methods such as neck ultrasound and 99mTc sestamibi scan can help localize pathologically enlarged glands, but they are not capable of distinguishing malignant disease. Fine needle aspiration is not recommended due to the possible associated risk of tumour seeding along the needle track. The radical excision of the tumour together with the ipsilateral thyroid gland removal remains the standard of treatment. Local recurrence is frequent. CONCLUSION: Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare disease and should be managed surgically in a specialized centre.
