[Use of videolaparoscopy in treatment of peritonitis of appendicular origin].

Videolaparoscopic appendectomy was carried out in 108 patients with acute destructive appendicitis complicated by peritonitis. Local peritonitis was noted in 65 patients, diffuse peritonitis in 33 patients, periappendicular abscess in 10 patients. Postoperative complications were observed in 6 (5.

[Using laparoscopic cholecystectomy in treatment of destructive forms of acute cholecystitis].

Videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 352 patients with acute destructive cholecystitis, 236 (67%) of patients having phlegmonous cholecystitis or empyema of the gallbladder, 116 patients (33%) gangrenous cholecystitis. In 74 patients (21%) the course of acute cholecystitis was complicated by the formation of paravesical infiltration or abscess. Standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy was fulfilled in 250 patients (71%), in 102 patients not traditional methods of endovideosurgical dissection of the gallbladder were used, in particular laparoscopic cholecystectomy from the bottom in 18 patients (5.

[The investigation of the influence of cryopreservation and inbreeding on the variability of morphological characteristics of the evening-primrose biennial (Oenothera biennis L.)].

The effect of deep freezing of seeds at -196 degrees C (-320.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and inbreeding on the morphological characteristics of the evening-primrose biennal (Oenothera biennis L.), such as the size of plant parts and the amount of fruits, cauline nodes, and generative and vegetative shoots was investigated.
