RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of thoracoscopic esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 78 patients who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy between 2011 and 2019. Peptic and burn strictures of the esophagus were diagnosed in 53 patients, achalasia - in 24 patients. Minimally invasive esophagectomy and esophagoplasty with isoperistaltic gastric tube and esophagogastrostomy on the neck was performed in 68 patients, Ivor Lewis esophagectomy - in 1 patient, coloesophagoplasty - in 9 patients. We used manual technique of anastomosis in 58 patients, stapling device - in 19 patients. In 1 case, surgery was finished with esophagostomy and gastrostomy. RESULTS: Mean blood loss was 200 ml (10-1200), surgery time - 450 min (265-765 min). Early postoperative complications occurred in 37 patients including anastomotic leakage in 24 cases. In long-term period, anastomotic strictures developed in 9 patients. No mortality was observed. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive esophagectomy for benign esophageal diseases ensures favorable clinical outcomes. However, no consensus in the choice of surgical approach and indications, as well as small number of these patients cause challenges in implementation of this technique. There are different opinions regarding technique of anastomosis on the neck and surgical access in thoracoscopic esophagectomy.

We evaluated the possibility and effectiveness of transaxillary gas-free approach for minimally invasive Zenker's diverticulectomy. A 64-year-old patient with large Zenker's diverticulum (6 cm) and pathognomonic symptoms is presented. Transaxillary gas-free minimally invasive diverticulectomy was performed using an endoscopic linear stapler. Surgery time was 137 min. There were not any postoperative complications including recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. X-ray examination after 2 postoperative days revealed no signs of anastomotic leakage, so the patient was allowed to drink and consume liquid food from the 3rd day. Patient was discharged on the 7th day. Minimally invasive surgical technology ensures effective and radical transaxillary diverticulectomy in patients with Zenker's diverticulum. The advantages of this method are good and detailed exposition of surgical field, including recurrent laryngeal nerve, more precise and less invasive manipulations and better cosmetic effect. The method may be an alternative to traditional and endoscopic diverticulectomy for a certain group of patients. However, experience accumulation and further prospective studies are required.

OBJECTIVE: To report our initial experience of robot-assisted McKeown esophagectomy with stapled cervical esophagogastrostomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 5 robot-assisted McKeown esophagectomies in patients with benign end-staged and malignant diseases of the esophagus for the period from October 2019 to February 2020. RESULTS: No conversions and intraoperative complications were observed. Mean surgery time was 406±48 min, total intraoperative blood loss - 108±45 ml. Four patients had minor complications (wound infection, atelectasis, pneumothorax) that required conservative treatment. We have controlled anastomosis in 2-3 postoperative days with water-soluble contrast, none patient had an anastomotic leakage. Mean hospital-stay was 5 days. Complete (R0) resection was accomplished in all patients with malignant neoplasms. CONCLUSIONS: Our first experience showed that robot-assisted McKeown esophagectomy is a safe and feasible surgical option for esophageal diseases. Robot-assisted interventions require advanced endoscopic surgical experience.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an efficiency and safety of perioperative fast track management in reconstructive esophageal surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Perioperative fast track management protocol in reconstructive esophageal surgery has been applied since 2014 at the Department of Thoracoabdominal Surgery and Oncology of the Petrovsky Russian Scientific Center of Surgery. These patients (2017-2020) were included in the main group (n=75). Patients who underwent traditional perioperative care (2010-2013) were enrolled in the control group (n=63). The primary outcome was postoperative hospital-stay. We also evaluated ICU stay, incidence of complications according to Clavien-Dindo grading system with particular registration of respiratory complications, mortality, enteral and oral feeding onset. RESULTS: There were no significant between-group differences in sex, age, ASA grade, body mass index. Fast track management reduced hospital-stay from 14 (12; 17) days in the control group to 11 (8; 22) days in the main group (p=0.008). Mean ICU-stay decreased up to 1 (0.8; 2) day in the main group compared to the control group (4.1 (3.5; 5.6) days, p<0.0001). Pneumonia was noted in 5 patients after fast track recovery and 15 patients in the control group (p=0.004). No patients died in the main group, 3 (4.8%) patients - in the control group (p=1). CONCLUSION: Modern perioperative fast track management protocol is safe and effective for extensive reconstructive esophageal interventions. This approach reduces hospital-stay and ICU stay, as well as the incidence of respiratory complications.

Significant improvement of treatment outcomes and reduction of postoperative hospital stay can be achieved, provided a multifaceted approach used in the management of patients. The introduction of the enhanced recovery program addressing all possible factors of the perioperative period will contribute to the treatment protocol development for patients after extensive surgery on the esophagus. OBJECTIVE: To improve medical rehabilitation outcomes in patients after extensive surgery for benign and malignant diseases of the esophagus by implementing an enhanced recovery program. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with benign and malignant esophageal diseases underwent radical surgical repair under general balanced anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. With the collaboration of surgery, anesthesiology, and intensive care staff, a proprietary day-by-day enhanced recovery program was developed based on existing guidelines for patient management and systematic reviews on the enhanced recovery protocol after surgical esophageal repair. RESULTS: The developed patient management program was effective due to the reduction of intensive care unit stay and the total postoperative stay in all main group patients. The use of minimally invasive video-endoscopic techniques contributed to the reduction of intensive care unit stay. A less severe surgical stress response was observed in patients in the group of thoracoscopic subtotal esophageal resections. CONCLUSION: The introduction of the enhanced recovery program promotes the reduction of hospital stay and ICU stay in surgical esophageal repair patients. Also, it allows optimizing the postoperative management of patients with complicated and uncomplicated postoperative periods.

Aorto-esophageal and aorto-bronchial fistulas are rare and life-threatening diseases if emergency treatment is absent. The most of publications devoted to this problem are case reports describing successful treatment of patients with aorto-esophageal and aorto-bronchial fistulas by using of endovascular or open transthoracic surgery. However, we did not find reports of several aortic fistulas in a patient after previous aortic stenting. It is presented case report of patient with aorto-esophago-bronchial and aorto-pulmonary fistulas in postoperative period after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

AIM: To investigate the role of video-assisted subtotal esophageal resection in treatment of patients with benign esophageal diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty-one patients with benign esophageal diseases have undergone subtotal esophageal resection in our department for the period 2010-2017. Thoracoscopic technique was applied in 25 cases, open approach - in 26 patients. Total surgery time, thoracoscopic stage duration, length of hospital-stay (LOS), ICU-stay, Clavien-Dindo morbidity rates with separate registration of respiratory complications, mortality have been considered. RESULTS: Groups were similar in terms of age, gender, ASA status. Thoracoscopic stage duration gradually decreased from 175 to 65 min with average time of 102 (75; 123) min. Total surgery time was 390 (270; 495) min in group 1 and 465 (341; 561) min in the control group (Ñ=0.035). Mean ICU-stay decreased up to 2 (1.25; 3.75) days compared with the control group (5 (3.92; 5.85) days, Ñ<0.0001). Conversion rate was 8%. In the main group complications Clavien-Dindo grade 2 were detected in 10 (40%) patients compared with 20 (69%) cases in the control group (Ñ=0.009). Respiratory complications occurred in 5 patients in group 1 and in 13 cases of the control group (Ñ=0.039). Mortality was absent. CONCLUSION: Thoracoscopic subtotal esophageal resection may be advisable alternative to open surgery for patients with benign esophageal diseases due to lower postoperative morbidity and earlier rehabilitation followed by improved outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: At present, no doubt enhanced by the attention of clinicians to monitor blood glucose and methods of its correction in ICU patients. Evidence of the effect of the expressed glycemic balance disorders on the results of treatment of such patients determine of the problem. Attempts to create a computer algorithm to determine the rate of insulin. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the module Space glycemic control (SGC, "BBraun Germany) with intravenous insulin therapy in patients with thoracoabdominal surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Single-center prospective observational study was conducted in the ICU in 50 patients in the early period after operations on the abdominal and thoracic cavity, mediastinum. RESULTS: The average duration of the monitoring group with SGC was 57 hours (17 to 280 hours). The average length of the period during which the patients were recorded in the target range glycemia was 80.4% of the total time of SGC monitoring. The average value of glucose in capillary blood proved to 7,6?1,58 mmol/l. The incidence of severe hypoglycemia was 2% (1 patient). CONCLUSION: Application module SGC should expedient be used in patients after extensive thoracoabdiminal surgical procedures in which recorded postoperative hyperglycemia.
