[TRAUMATIC INTRAORGANIC HEPATIC AND SPLENIC HEMATOMAS].

An analysis of application results of complex research methods of diagnostics of intraorganic hepatic and splenic hematomas was made. At the same time, options of these methods were used for determination of prescription of injury. The ultrasound, CT, MR-imaging, videolaparoscopy, angiography, Doppler ultrasonics, impedometry, biochemical, laboratory and cytological study of punctate sample from hematomas were applied for this purpose in 33 patients. According to authors, an evolution of hematomas happened in 3 stages, each of this stage was characterized by specified data associated with investigation results. The staging procedure of hematomas or their evolution allowed setting the prescription of injury.

[Value of complex ultrasonography in children with concomitant strabismus].

28 children with concomitant strabismus were examined using complex ultrasonography. Thickness of horizontal recti muscles was estimated in convergent and divergent strabismus. The blood flow in central retinal artery was estimated in patients with concomitant strabismus.

[Ultrasonic tomography of neurogenic tumors of the orbit]. / Ul'trazvukovaia tomografiia neirogennykh opukholei orbity.

The results of a comprehensive ultrasonic examination of 12 patients with tumors of the eye orbit are described. A low echogenicity as well as heterogeneity of the echo-structure and of the contours' sharpness are the main sonographic features of the mentioned tumors. An examination of a vascularization degree in patients with gliomas of the optic nerve showed no blood circulation inside tumors; while a collateral blood circulation was detected in patients with meningiomas of the optic nerve. A compression of the ocular artery by the tumor and reduced hemodynamic indices were found to be typical. Finally, a triplex examination of the orbit makes it possible to diagnose tumors of the optic nerve.

[Treatment strategy in diverticulosis of the colon]. / Lechebnaia taktika pri divertikuliarnoi bolezni tolstoi kishki.

The results of treatment of 645 patients with diverticular disease of the colon have been analysed. There were 65.4% of women and 34.6%--of men, 54.4% of patients were hospitalized urgently and 45.6% electively. 82.5% of patients underwent conservative treatment, 24.8% of them were operated. In hyperkinetic type of bowel motor activity preference was given to mini-invasive organ-saving operations. In 28 cases Laparoscopic serosa myotomy by Reilly and Hodson were carried out (in 17 cases through miniapproach). In hypokinetic type various types of resection of the colon (20 patients) were performed. In necessity for urgent operation various methods of operations may be made depending on general condition of the patient and extension of the pathologic process. In 29 cases initial resection with anastomosis has been performed. Postoperative complications developed in 20.5% patients. There were no lethal outcomes. In 66 cases 2-stage operations were carried out, lethality being 10.6%, and complications--23.7%.

[Ultrasound examination in patients with peritonitis]. / Ul'trazvukovoe issledovanie u bol'nykh s peritonitom.

Ultrasonographic features of developed intraabdominal complications were in 73 patients, in 43 of them being local and in 30-diffuse peritonitis. The diagnosis was based on the complex manifestations of' sonographic changes of the small bowel and other organs of the abdominal cavity which the authors suggest to interpret as an ultrasound syndrome of "the bowel deficiency". The possibility of dynamic ultrasound control in postoperative period for registration of the features indicating elimination or progressing of peritonitis is shown.
