"Extreme Nephroptosis": A Kidney in the Inguinal Hernia.

We present an extremely rare case of renal ptosis from the normal orthotopic position into the cavity of inguinal hernia in a 93-year-old male patient. The following clinical case was accompanied by renal insufficiency, which was associated with the obstruction of the right ureter in the hernial sac and the stenosis of the left renal artery. The differential diagnosis between nephroptosis and dystopic kidney was based on MDCT scan images, which demonstrated the length of the right renal artery to be more than 20 cm.

Removal of the Tumor Thrombus from the Right Atrium without Extracorporeal Circulation: Emphasis on the Displacement of the Tumor Apex.

Objectives: To assess the outcomes of cavoatrial tumor thrombus removal using the liver transplantation technique for thrombectomy, a retrospective study was conducted.

Materials And Methods: Five patients with atrial tumor thrombi who underwent piggy-back mobilization of the liver, surgical access to the right atrium from the abdominal cavity, and external manual repositioning of the thrombus apex below the diaphragm (milking maneuver) were included into the study. Extracorporeal circulation was used in none of the cases.

DYNAMICS OF INDICES OF OXIDATIVE STRESS IN PATIENTS WITH THYROID GLAND SURGERY DEPENDING ON ITS FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY.

Hormonal dysfunction of the thyroid gland causes disorder of all kinds of metabolism. Both hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism are the causes of imbalance in prooxidant-antioxidant system with the development of pathological process named "oxidative stress". Objective - study of oxidative stress in patients who underwent thyroid gland operation depending on its functional activity and the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis.

CONTACT ULTRASOUND LITHOTRIPSY DURING URETEROLITHIASIS THERAPY. AN ANALYSIS OF LATE POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS.

Nowadays, ureteroscopy is highly effective and minimally invasive therapeutic and diagnostic method which is not connected with the risk of complications and with correlation of intracorporal lithotripsy and it is optimal at ureterolithiasis. The aim of the research is to analyze the causes and the character of late postoperative complications which occur in patients with ureterolithiasis after ureterorenoscopy and contact lithotripsy using ultrasound lithitriptor. After ureterorenoscopy with contact lithotripsy or lithoextraction from 1372 patients in 96 (6,9%) cases further postoperative complications were detected: in 81 (84,4%) vesicoureteral reflux was detected, and in 15 (15,6%) - ureteric stricture.
