[Surgical treatment of bronchial asthma].

Methods of surgical treatment of bronchial asthma (BA) are classified as first generation (glomectomy, gangliectomy, vagotomy, pulmonary roots denervation), second generation (implantation of neurostimulators of sinocarotid, diaphragmal nerves, vagus, sympathic trunks), third generation (implants of programmed microchips). 7-year experience of surgical treatment with second generation methods in 125 patients with BA and experience of third generation methods use are summarized. Methods of second and third generations are most promising, permit to prevent and to cure asphyxia attack without drugs--with electrostimulation of vegetative system structures by impulse current (30-150 Hz, 0.

[Electrostimulation in the therapy of bronchial asthma].

Programmed electrostimulators of the sinocarotid nerves were implanted to 78 patients with bacterial asthma (BA) with a severe hormone-dependent course (age 18-67 years). Radiofrequency electrostimulation was performed daily for 6 years (impulse current, 30-150 Hz, 0.1-0.

[Hernioplasty with a dermal autograft in recurrent and postoperative hernias].

Long-term results of treatment of ventral recurrent and postoperative hernias by Yanov's method from 1988 till 2000 in 160 patients aged from 19 to 65 years were studied. Depending on the type of hernia the autodermal strip, flap or their combination were used for plasty of hernial ring. Recurrence was in 6.

[Radiofrequency electrostimulation of sympathetic nerve boundary trunk in patients with bronchial asthma].

In 7 patients aged from 43 to 64 years with severe infectious allergic forms of bronchial asthma with curative aims radiofrequency electrostimulator for the boundary trunk of the sympathic nerve (BTSN) has been implanted in the neck. Daily sessions of electrostimulation (ES) by the current with parameters 1-100 Hz, 0.1-0.

[Radiofrequency electrostimulation of carotid sinus nerves for the treatment of bronchial asthma].

Electrostimulators of synocarotid nerves (SCN) were implanted in 30 patients aged from 18 to 62 years for the treatment of bronchial asthma. The procedures of SCN stimulation (from 1 to 10 daily) were carried out with parameters of 30-100 Hz, 0.1-0.
