[Injection of incobotulinum toxin A for the prevention of postoperative salivary fistula and sialocele].

Unlabelled: The of the clinical study was to improve prevention of postoperative sialocele and fistulas of parotid glands.

Materials And Methods: The study included 100 patients with tumors of parotid glands treated by superficial parotidecthomy. Fifty patients received incobotulinum toxin A preoperatively, while control group consisted of 50 patients without preoperative injections.

[Experimental study of a bacterial adhesion to titanium plates used for osteosynthesis of facial bones].

Background: The adhesion ability of microorganisms to the surface of titanium miniplates and screws is one of factors in the development of purulent-inflammatory complications in the postoperative period. One of the solutions to this problem is the use of an ion-plasma coating of mini-plates and screws.

Objective: The aim of the study was to prove a decrease adhesion level of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic bacterium to samples of titanium mini-plates with ion-plasma coating, compared with samples without coating.

[The treatment and rehabilitation of patients with secondary adentia and atrophy of alveolar process of maxilla].

The novel method of surgical treatment and rehabilitation of patients with secondary adentia and atrophy of alveolar process of maxilla was suggested. The method allows to preserve satisfactory microcirculation of the implantation area and to achieve hermetizm by wound closure. The use of the endoscope for visualizing the operation field minimizes the possibility of the sinus membrane intraoperative perforation and decreases the overall surgical traumatizm.

[The new scheme of cavinton application to the treatment of chronic neurosensory loss of hearing].

The objective of this study was to evaluate results of the new therapeutic modality for the management of chronic neurosensory loss of hearing based on the use of caviton. The open randomized study involved 50 patients. Criteria for the efficiency of therapy included the patients' complaints, self-evaluation of tympanophonia based on the visual-analogous scale, results of audiologic examination and Doppler ultrasound of carotid and vertebral arteries.
