RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of recommendations provided by ChatGPT regarding inguinal hernia repair. MATERIAL AND METHODS: ChatGPT was asked 5 questions about surgical management of inguinal hernias. The chat-bot was assigned the role of expert in herniology and requested to search only specialized medical databases and provide information about references and evidence. Herniology experts and surgeons (non-experts) rated the quality of recommendations generated by ChatGPT using 4-point scale (from 0 to 3 points). Statistical correlations were explored between participants' ratings and their stance regarding artificial intelligence. RESULTS: Experts scored the quality of ChatGPT responses lower than non-experts (2 (1-2) vs. 2 (2-3), p<0.001). The chat-bot failed to provide valid references and actual evidence, as well as falsified half of references. Respondents were optimistic about the future of neural networks for clinical decision-making support. Most of them were against restricting their use in healthcare. CONCLUSION: We would not recommend non-specialized large language models as a single or primary source of information for clinical decision making or virtual searching assistant.

Optimal treatment for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) is not defined. Surgery is the only method of treatment for obvious strangulating SBO. Non-operative management (NOM) is widely used among patients with low risk of strangulation, i.e. no clinical, laboratory and CT signs. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are recommended to determine the optimal method (early intervention or NOM), but their safety is unclear due to possible delay in surgery for patients needing early intervention. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A RCT is devoted to outcomes of early operative treatment and NOM for adhesive SBO. The estimated trial capacity is 200 patients. Thirty-two patients were included in interim analysis. In 12 hours after admission, patients without apparent signs of strangulation were randomized into two clinical groups after conservative treatment. Group I included 12 patients who underwent immediate surgery, group II - 20 patients after 48-hour NOM. The primary endpoint was success of non-surgical regression of SBO and reduction in mortality. To evaluate patient safety, we analyzed mortality, complication rates and bowel resection in this RCT with previously published studies. RESULTS: In group I, all 12 (100%) patients underwent surgery. Only 4 (20%) patients required surgery in group II. Mortality, complication rates and bowel resection rates were similar in both groups. Strangulating SBO was found in 8 (25%) patients. Overall mortality was 6.3%, bowel resection rate - 6.3%, iatrogenic perforation occurred in 3 (18.8%) patients. These values did not exceed previous findings. CONCLUSION: Non-operative management within 48 hours prevented surgery in 80% of patients with SBO. Interim analysis found no significant between-group differences in mortality, complication rates and bowel resection rate. Patients had not been exposed to greater danger than other patients with adhesive SBO. The study is ongoing.

INTRODUCTION: The rate of electrosurgery complications is 0.1-2.1%. More than 10 years ago, SAGES pioneered a well-structured educational program (FUSE) aimed to teach about the safe use of electrosurgery. This inspired the development of similar training programs around the globe. Still, the knowledge gap persists among surgeons, possibly due to the lack of judgment. AIM: To investigate factors affecting the level of expertise in electrosurgical safety and their correlation with self-assessment scores among surgeons and surgical residents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted an online survey consisting of 15 questions that could be thematically broken down into 5 blocks. We analyzed how the objective scores were correlated with the self-assessment scores, professional experience, past participation in training programs, and work at a teaching hospital. RESULTS: A total of 145 specialists took part in the survey, including 111 general surgeons and 34 s-year surgical residents from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Kirgizia. Only 9 (8.1%) surgeons scored "excellent," 32 (28.8%) scored "good," and 56 (50.4%) scored "fair." Of all surgical residents participating in the study, only 1 (2.9%) scored "excellent," 9 (26.5%) scored "good," and 11 (32.4%) scored "fair." The test was failed by 14 surgeons (12.6%) and 13 (38.2%) residents. The difference between the trainees and the surgeons was statistically significant. Our multivariate logistic model identified 3 significant factors predisposing to successful performance on the test: past training in the safe use of electrosurgery, professional experience, and work at a teaching hospital. Of all study participants, those with no past training in the safe use of electrosurgery, and non-teaching surgeons were the most realistic about their competencies. CONCLUSION: We have identified alarming gaps in the knowledge of electrosurgical safety among surgeons. Faculty staff and experienced surgeons scored higher, but past training was the most influential factor in improving knowledge of electrosurgical safety.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the level of knowledge in electrosurgical safety among specialists in the Russian Federation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An Internet survey was devoted to the issues of electrosurgical safety. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions in 5 items. Data were collected for 2 months. Data analysis included final assessment of respondents, correlation of results with their own assessment of knowledge and parameters of surgical experience, the fact of training and belonging to the department. Question design, survey and presentation of results were performed in accordance with the CHERRIES (Check list of Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys) criteria for Internet surveys. RESULTS: Survey enrolled 231 specialists. Excellent rating was given to 13 (5.6%) respondents, good - 66 (28.3%), satisfactory - 105 (45.1%) respondents. Forty-nine (21.03%) respondents did not overcome the passing score (7) and showed unsatisfactory knowledge of electrosurgical safety. Mean score among all participants was 8.6±2.6 (median 8 points, interquartile range [7-11]) or 53.3% of maximum value (15). In multivariate logistic model, significant factors were the completed course in electrosurgical safety (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.30-3.97; p=0.004), experience of work (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.05; p=0.011) and work in the department (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.03-2.95; p=0.038). Respondents who did not take the course (positive significant correlation r=0.1629, p=0.02674) and non-departmental employees (r=0.1655, p=0.031) assess the level of knowledge more adequately with respect to real results. Respondents with completed course (r=0.1078, p=0.4659) and departmental staff (r=0.1411, p=0.2699) are prone to overestimate self-assessment (positive insignificant correlation of their own assessment and received points). CONCLUSION: We found significant knowledge gaps in electrosurgical safety among various practitioners. The main causes are no mandatory specialized courses on electrosurgical safety and insufficient motivation of specialists for self-education due to false ideas about their own level of knowledge.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods for diagnosis of intestinal ischemia following small bowel obstruction in emergency hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Multiple-center observational retrospective study enrolled 158 consecutive patients with benign small bowel obstruction (SBO) treated at four hospitals between May 2017 and December 2019. The role of clinical, laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods for intestinal ischemia was analyzed. We assessed the impact of CT and contrast-enhanced X-ray examination on survival of patients. RESULTS: Laboratory parameters as criteria of ischemia following SBO were similar (leukocytosis >14·109/l (p=1.0), serum lactate >2.0 mmol/l (p=0.28), heart rate >90/min (p=0.71) and fever (p=0.74)). The only laboratory indicator with significant differences was serum sodium. Decrease in leukocytosis over time was less common in patients with ischemia (25% vs. 61.3%, p=0.012). Univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis did not establish the effect of CT on survival (7.8% [95% CI 7.6-8.0] vs. 6.5% [95% CI 6.3-6.6], p=0.786). Logistic regression revealed 6.4-fold higher chance of accurate diagnosis (ischemia/non-ischemia) in case of CT-based conclusion of ischemia (95% CI 0.025-0.85). Univariate analysis showed that the use of water-soluble contrast for adhesive SBO was associated with lower mortality (4.1% [95% CI 4.0-4.2] vs. 14.3% [95% CI 13.7-14.9], p=0.032) without assessing the comparability of groups. CONCLUSION: Routine laboratory tests were not specific for intestinal ischemia. Therefore, they should not be considered as the only criteria for surgical tactics in intestinal obstruction. Only CT showed acceptable diagnostic accuracy, and, apparently, only this method has real prospects for improving the quality of diagnosis due to technical support, training of surgeons and specialists for diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To study surgical approach for small bowel obstruction (SBO) regarding national and international guidelines. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Considering literature data, national and international guidelines and clinical practice, we have formulated 15 questions regarding surgical approach for non-neoplastic SBO. Questions were sent by e-mail to the members of the Russian Society of Surgeons. Survey lasted 60 days. We used the program that provides the respondent with the possibility of visual control of survey results. Survey results were compared with national and international clinical guidelines, Russian- and English-language scientific publications. Restriction of the number of votes >1 and identification of respondents were not provided by the program. There was no reward for survey. A summary is provided on the main issues. RESULTS: There were 557 respondents (3.0% of surgeons in the Russian Federation). We obtained 481-620 answers for each question. CONCLUSION: This study is a valuable tool for primary assessment of current surgical practice for SBO in the Russian Federation. Study design did not imply conclusions on the optimal strategy based on opinions of majority of respondents. According to our survey, a significant number of respondents use the treatment strategy that differ from clinical guidelines. Their approach is based on their own clinical experience and local guidelines for the treatment of SBO. Less than half of the answers matched to national clinical guidelines, less than 10% - to the WSES guidelines. Despite the formal coincidence of some statements in national clinical guidelines and English-language recommendations, significant nonconformities require scientific discussion.

OBJECTIVE: To study the Cochrane evidence base of systematic reviews and meta-analyses regarding development of national guidelines for surgical treatment of gallstone disease and its complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed the original database involving 35 systematic reviews and meta-analyses of Cochrane Library devoted to gallstone disease and its complications. Methodology of electronic and manual searching of trials was used for identification and screening of information for the period until October 2021. RESULTS: There were 430 randomized controlled trials from different countries estimated in 35 systematic reviews of Cochrane Library. At the same time, Russian-language researches are not included in the world's evidence database of biliary tract surgery. Expert groups couldn't perform meta-analysis and limited to systematic-review in 6 (17%) publications because of insufficient statistical power or primary researches. Need for further research of this issue was determined after assessment of 26 (74%) meta-analyses. CONCLUSION: We have to convey foreign experience as subbase of national clinical guidelines taking into account deficiency of scientific trials with high level of evidence in our country. Need for further evidence trials, considering the peculiarities of surgical care in the Russian Federation, is determined by unsolved issues of treatment of gallstone disease and its complications.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the results of therapeutic and prophylactic endovascular hemostasis of spontaneous bleeding into soft tissues of abdominal, chest wall and retroperitoneal space in patients with COVID-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied 35 patients with COVID-19 complicated by spontaneous bleeding into soft tissues of abdominal, chest wall and retroperitoneal space. According to CT data, the volume of hematoma was 1193.4±706.1 ml. In all patients, CT signs of ongoing bleeding were detected. Moreover, contrast agent extravasation in all phases of examination was established in 15 patients. In other ones, extravasation was detected in late phases or study phase was not identified. All patients underwent angiography. Ongoing bleeding was detected in 12 (34.3%) patients (group 1). They underwent embolization of the target vessel. In 23 patients, bleeding was not established during angiography. Of these, 13 ones underwent prophylactic embolization (group 2). No embolization was carried out in 10 patients (group 3). All groups differed in hematoma localization and COVID-19 severity. RESULTS: Fourteen (40%) patients died in postoperative period. Mortality was similar in all groups. The most common cause of death was progressive respiratory failure following pneumonia. The last one was established by autopsy in 10 (71.4%) patients. CONCLUSION: Angiography confirmed MR signs of contrast agent extravasation in 34.3% of patients. In case of extravasation in all CT phases, ongoing bleeding was confirmed in 66.7% of patients. Endovascular embolization is effective for arterial bleeding into soft tissues. However, large-scale studies are needed to assess the effect of this technique on survival.

OBJECTIVE: Comparative assessment of immediate and long-term results of robot-assisted and conventional endoscopic technologies in the Russian Federation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Searching for primary trials devoted to robot-assisted (RAE) and traditional video endoscopic (TVE) surgeries in the Russian Federation was carried out in the e-library and CENTRAL Cochrane databases. We used the recommendations of the Center for Expertise and Quality Control of Medical Care (2017, 2019) and the current version of the Cochrane Community Guidelines (2021). These guidelines define the features of meta-analysis of non-randomized comparative studies. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: We enrolled 26 Russian-language primary sources (3111 patients) including 1174 (38%) ones in the RAE group and 1937 (62%) patients in the TVE group. There were no randomized controlled trials in the Russian Federation, and all primary studies were non-randomized. We found no significant between-group differences in surgery time, incidence of intraoperative complications, intraoperative blood loss in thoracic surgery, urology and gynecology, conversion rate, postoperative hospital-stay, postoperative morbidity (in abdominal surgery, urology and gynecology), postoperative mortality. We observed slightly lower intraoperative blood loss for RAE in abdominal surgery and lower incidence of postoperative complications in robot-assisted thoracic surgery. These results can be compromised by methodological quality of comparative studies, significant heterogeneity and systematic errors. CONCLUSION: Currently, we cannot confirm the benefits of robot-assisted technologies, since this approach does not worsen or improve treatment outcomes. Further high-quality studies are needed.

This review is devoted to history of pancreatodigestive anastomoses (PDA), technique of the most popular PDA, causes of pancreatic fistula and its prevention. Contradictory data were obtained in randomized trials and meta-analyses devoted to pancreatic anastomoses. There is no optimal anastomosis excluding clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistula. Therefore, further studies should be aimed at new approaches reducing the incidence of clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistula.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol versus traditional perioperative management in patients with hepatopancreatobiliary tumors undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 111 patients who have undergone pancreatoduodenectomy between January 2014 and December 2019. Patients were divided into 2 groups: perioperative ERAS protocol (85 patients) and traditional treatment (26 patients). Postoperative complications, length of hospital-stay and incidence of readmissions were analyzed. RESULTS: Mean length of hospital-stay for ERAS protocol was 13.4±7.6 days, conventional management - 16.5±7.5 days (p=0.004). Postoperative 30-day mortality was 8.24 and 7.7% in both groups, respectively (p=1.0). Intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the ERAS group (248.24±214.0 vs. 321.15±155.0 ml, p=0.004). Overall incidence of postoperative complications was 56.5% and 65.4%, respectively (p=0.420). However, incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade IV complications was significantly higher in case of traditional treatment (19.2 vs. 4.7%, p=0.015). Readmission rate within 30 days was slightly less in the ERAS group (6.4 vs. 20.8%, p=0.052). CONCLUSION: Enhanced recovery after surgery protocol is safe, reduces the number of postoperative complications, length of hospital-stay and rate of readmissions.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors of mortality in patients with acute adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective multiple-center study included 143 (85.6%) patients with ASBO out of 167 consecutive patients with small bowel obstruction for the period 2017-2019. All patients were divided into 3 groups: early surgery group (within 12 hours after admission), late surgery (after 12 hours), non-surgical management group. The outcomes and Kaplan-Meier survival were compared in all groups. RESULTS: ASBO was resolved without surgery in 77 (53.8%) patients 19.6±17.4 (M=14) hours. In the Early Surgery Group (n=36), 24 patients had strangulation, 12 ones had non-strangulated bowel obstruction. In the Late Surgery Group (n=30), 15 patients had strangulation and 15 ones had no strangulation. Mortality was similar in early and late surgery (p=0.287), early and late surgery in patients with strangulation (p=0.940), early and late surgery in patients without strangulation (p=0.76). Patients died (n=10) after surgery only. Thus, postoperative mortality was 15.2%, overall mortality - 7.0%. All patients who underwent surgery after 24 hours (n=14) survived. Surgery increased the mortality risk compared to non-surgical management (95% CI 0 - 15.9, p=0.001). There was no effect of surgery time (more or less than 12 hours) on mortality for strangulation (95% CI 13.0-16.7, p 0.788) and non-strangulated obstruction (95% CI 29.4-5.4, p=0.061), bowel resection (95% CI 33.3-14.0, p=0.187), presence of bowel ischemia (95% CI 14.3-17.9, p 0.613). CONCLUSION: Delayed surgery may be advisable in patients with ASBO and no obvious signs of strangulation due to less mortality.

AIM: To compare the results of open and laparoscopic interventions for PGDU complicated by advanced peritonitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis enrolled 172 patients with PGDU who underwent surgery for the period 2014-2016. The research was performed at the bases of the Department of Faculty-Based Surgery No. 1 of the Medical Faculty of the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University. Further analysis enrolled 138 patients in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria (laparoscopic intervention - 116 patients, open surgery - 22). Propensity score matching (pseudorandomization) was applied after comparative analysis of patients' characteristics and treatment outcomes in order to ensure maximum comparability of both groups. RESULTS: Length of hospital-stay (7.1 vs. 9.8 days), incidence of extra-abdominal complications (6.3%. vs. 41.2%) and adverse events Clavien-Dindo grade II (6.3% vs. 35.3%) were significantly lower after minimally invasive surgery (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Analysis of comparable groups of patients with PGDU complicated by peritonitis revealed that laparoscopic surgery is accompanied by significantly lower incidence of extra-abdominal postoperative complications and shorter hospital-stay compared with open surgery. Mortality and incidence of intra-abdominal postoperative complications were similar in both groups.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of laparoscopic treatment of patients with advanced appendicular peritonitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 271 patients with acute appendicitis complicated by peritonitis. The main group consisted of patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy after diagnostic laparoscopy (n=231), the control group - diagnostic laparoscopy followed by conversion to median laparotomy (n=36). Four extremely ill patients were operated through laparotomy and excluded from the further analysis. RESULTS: Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed in 267 patients with advanced appendicular peritonitis. Laparoscopic appendectomy, debridement and abdominal drainage were performed in 231 (85.2%) patients. Mean age of patients was 44±18.5 years, duration of disease - 36.2±20.3 hours. Diffuse peritonitis was diagnosed in 219 (82%) patients, advanced peritonitis - in 48 (16.5%) cases. Incidence of conversion was 13.5%. Mortality was absent in both groups. Postoperative morbidity was significantly higher in the conversion group (72.2% vs. 29.4%, p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic interventions for common appendicular peritonitis are feasible, effective and reduce postoperative morbidity.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the role of mesoappendixectomy in the development of intra-abdominal surgical site infection (IAB SSI) after LAE. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective randomized non-blind multiple-center registered (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03754777) study has been performed for the period from 2016 to 2018. The study was devoted to effectiveness and safety of the modified enhanced recovery protocol in LAE. In the main group, this protocol (n=56) included routine mesoappendixectomy, restrictive strategy for abdominal drainage and postoperative antibiotic prevention. In the control group (n=71), mesoappendixectomy was performed only in case of necrotic changes. Both groups were comparable by demographic parameters and severity of comorbidities. RESULTS: In the main group, significant decrease in the incidence of IAB SSI was found (0% versus 9.8%). Moreover, the main group was characterized by reduced length of hospital-stay (1.43±1.34 d versus 2.94±2, 43 days). CONCLUSION: Mesoappendixectomy should be evaluated in further research as a potential factor in prevention of IAB SSI.

OBJECTIVE: To improve treatment outcomes in patients with acute appendicitis (AA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: An internet survey was performed. Questionnaire consisted of 15 questions concerning diagnosis and treatment of AA: application of prognostic scales, incidence and technical aspects of laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), antibiotic prophylaxis, postoperative management, compliance with international and national clinical guidelines. A total of 690 questionnaires were received and analyzed (3.67% of all surgeons in the Russian Federation). RESULTS: Eighteen percent of respondents use at least one prognostic scale. The vast majority of surgeons (92%) use antibiotic prophylaxis. Almost half of respondents place trocars in the triangulation position (44%), one third of surgeons ligate the mesentery of the appendix (35%), most respondents perform mesoappendectomy (60%) with monopolar and bipolar cautery. Forty-five percent of all respondents do not invert the appendix stump. Significant number of respondents use abdominal drainage routinely. Only 3.5% of surgeons use multimodal postoperative analgesia. Less than 22% of patients are operated under low-pressure pneumoperitoneum. Standardization of surgical technique and perioperative approaches including those specified in the guidelines is absent. We also found insufficient awareness of surgeons about international and national clinical guidelines. CONCLUSION: This study may be useful for standardizing treatment approaches, choosing the best practice, popularizing and improving of current clinical guidelines.

Acute appendicitis is the most frequent surgical disease complicating pregnancy. Accurate diagnosis is difficult due to atypical and misleading clinical manifestations. Surgeons frequently do not know about advantages and disadvantages of different diagnostic methods applied during pregnancy. Treatment of acute appendicitis in pregnant women remains the real challenge for surgeons. There are enough researches indicating on benefits and risks of both open and laparoscopic operations. The main risk is due to fetal loss after laparoscopic procedure. Safety of diagnostic techniques and laparoscopic procedures, surgical tactics and independent risk factors of pregnancy loss are touched in the article.

Spontaneous chylous peritonitis during pregnancy is a rare disease. Only a few publications are currently devoted to this problem. The authors reported successful treatment of a patient with spontaneous chylous peritonitis in the first trimester of pregnancy. Moreover, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of patients with spontaneous chylous peritonitis and chiloperitoneum are analyzed. The authors consider laparoscopy as a safe and efficient method of treatment of patients with spontaneous chylous peritonitis including pregnant women.

AIM: To analyze incidence, diagnosis and treatment of complicated appendicitis in pregnant women and to determine the optimal surgical approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort analysis included 338 pregnant women who underwent appendectomy in 2012-2016. Complicated appendicitis (abscess, local or common peritonitis and their combinations) was diagnosed in 22 cases. The main perioperative variables (duration of the disease, time of surgery, length of hospital-stay, incidence of wound complications, etc.), clinical and laboratory symptoms, results of ultrasound diagnosis and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Statistical analysis was carried out in Stata 14.2. Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon's U-test and multivariate regression analysis were used to compare data. RESULTS: The incidence of complicated appendicitis in pregnant women was 6.51%. There are no clinical symptoms which would be significantly more common in complicated appendicitis during pregnancy. Complicated course prolongs surgery and hospital-stay, however duration of postoperative analgesia depends on surgical technique as a rule. There were 27% of laparoscopic interventions that is lower compared with women with uncomplicated appendicitis. The percentage of conversions was higher too. CONCLUSION: Clinical diagnosis of complicated appendicitis during pregnancy even by using of ultrasound is not satisfactory and requires the involvement of other objective methods, such as MRI. Laparoscopic intervention is not contraindicated in pregnant women with complicated appendicitis and determine better treatment outcomes than open surgery.
