[Serum ghrelin changes after bariatric surgery]. / Kak izmenyaetsya uroven' grelina u patsientov, perenesshikh bariatricheskie vmeshatel'stva.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of bariatric surgery on serum ghrelin in patients with morbid obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We experimentally analyzed serum ghrelin in 96 rats. Of these, 84 rats underwent sleeve gastrectomy, and 12 rats comprised the control group (no surgery). We measured body weight and serum ghrelin using ELISA method after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days after surgery. Serum ghrelin was studied before and after bariatric surgery in 23 patients with morbid obesity. RESULTS: Baseline serum ghrelin was lower in larger rats and obese patients compared to normal body weight. We found no decrease in serum ghrelin after resection of fundal ghrelin-releasing part of the stomach. CONCLUSION: Stomach volume changes after restrictive bariatric surgery (sleeve resection or gastroplication) are accompanied by mild increase in serum ghrelin. This increment is greater after more significant body weight loss after surgery. Similar researches will help to find new treatment strategies for pathological obesity.

[Surgical treatment of gallbladder polyps]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie polipov zhelchnogo puzyrya.

OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of gallbladder polyps and the possibilities of modern methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment of this disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 42 laparoscopic cholecystectomies in patients with diagnosed gallbladder polyps. The polyps were diagnosed preoperatively. Intraoperative diagnosis during surgery for gallstone disease was observed in 3 cases. A comparative analysis of preoperative examination did not reveal any advantages of certain diagnostic approach. RESULTS: Hyperplastic polyp was the most common type (n=20, 47.6%), adenomatous polyps occurred in 19 (45.3%) cases, cholesteric polyps - in 3 (7.1%) patients. All patients had signs of chronic inflammation of the gallbladder wall with its infiltration by lymphocytes and histiocytes. CONCLUSION: Further studies with clear criteria for the diagnosis of gallbladder polyps including ones for determining true polyps, precancerous and malignant polyps are required.

AIM: To present an experience of surgical treatment of hiatal hernia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An experience of more than thousand laparoscopic fundoplications in various modifications has been accumulated in the Clinic of Bashkir State Medical University for the period 2001-2016. RESULTS: An original device for intraoperative measurement of hiatal orifice is described. Hiatal orifice repair was indicated in case of its dimension over 3.5 cm. 310 patients underwent hiatal orifice repair including diaphragmocrurorrhaphy in 189 cases, hiatal orifice replacement by using of mesh implant in 121 cases. Simultaneous interventions were performed in 211 cases due to hiatal hernia combined with other abdominal diseases. CONCLUSION: Thus, selection of hiatal hernia patients for antireflux surgery should be clearly indicated according to clinical and instrumental data in the context of health care system reforming and widespread use of minimally invasive technologies. Laparoscopic operations for hiatal hernia are preferable and contribute to decrease of morbidity and improvement of outcomes.

[The membrane allotransplantate use in surgery for hygroma].

Reparative processes in calcaneal tendon after the use of new repair technique were studied in two animal series. In both groups the calcaneal tendon was incised to the half of its width. In control group no further manipulations were performed and in the experimental group the defect was covered with allotransplantate of dura mater (membrane stop). The control group demonstrated less active tendon reaction, whereas the experimental group demonstrated stimulation of reparation with the rapid change of inflammatory stages. The membrane stop serves as a modeling frame for new fibers of the regenerate. The obtained results permit recommending the membrane stop in treatment of hand hygromas for the cover of weak tendon areas.
