[Surgical procedure in pancreatic cysts and fistulae]. / Khirurgicheskaia taktika pri kistakh i svishchakh podzheludochnoi zhelezy.

The authors have generalized the experience with the treatment of 11 cases of pancreatic cysts and 4 cases of external pancreatic fistulas. The anastomosis with hollow organs (7 cases) has proved to be a method of choice in the surgery of pseudocysts. In authors' opinion, the internal drainage creates favourable conditions for persistent decompression of the duct system, promotes the obliteration of the cyst and the attenuation of inflammatory process in the pancreas, while the external drainage of the cyst is indicated in fresh cysts with a loose easily tearing capsule, when anastomosis is impossible for technical reasons.

[Surgical treatment of postoperative abdominal hernia]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie posleoperatsionnykh gryzh zhivota.

After surgical treatment of 664 patients with postoperative abdominal hernias (PAH) within the period of from 1972 to 1983, the incidence of recurrences was 48.4%. On the basis of studying microcirculation at the area of hernioplasty and its dependence on tissue tension force in the experiment on animals and at operations by means of radiometry, rheometry and fluorimetric analysis, the technique for surgical treatment of PAH with regard to location of a defect, including the method of plasty, system of preoperative preparation and prophylaxis of the postoperative wound complications, has been developed. From 1984, 200 patients with PAH were operated on, the incidence of recurrences decreased to 2.4%.
