Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated complications after endoscopic hemithyroidectomy (EH) compared to two other methods: minimally invasive video-assisted hemithyroidectomy (MIVAH) and open hemithyroidectomy (OH) across 136 patients.
  • Results showed a higher overall complication rate for the EH group (20.5%) compared to OH (6.4%) and MIVAH (4.4%), with minor complications being more common as surgical experience increased.
  • The conclusion highlights that despite the higher complication rates in EH, it's generally safe, and following the proposed tissue dissection principles can enhance surgical safety.

Objective: To work out the optimal technique of endoscopic stenting of the esophagus (ESE) using various delivery devices (DD); to analyze immediate and long-term results of stenting depending on the type of DD.

Material And Methods: ESE results were studied in 83 patients. Group 1 included 41 patients with implantation of metal stents delivered on a knitted tubular casing (21 stents with proximal opening and 20 stents with distal opening).

Safe and reasonable surgical care in the context of COVID-19 pandemic is difficult task. The main current issues are selection of patients for surgical treatment, principles of surgical treatment in cancer patients, possibilities of endoscopic surgery, organization of surgical department and operating theatre, surgical strategy in infected patients. Own experience and rational implementation of the recommendations developed by international research and practical communities are extremely important for optimizing surgical treatment of patients in a pandemic, as well as for ensuring the safety of patients and medical staff.
