[Endovideosurgical technology in diagnosis and treatment of perforating gastroduodenal ulcers].

The authors have analyzed their experiences with using endovideosurgical technologies in surgical treatment of 67 patients with perforation of gastroduodenal ulcers. The diagnosis was made in all the patients using laparoscopy, in 56.7% esophagogastroduodenoscopy was used.

[Potentialities of edovideosurgery in treatment of patients with acute adhesive intestinal obstruction].

The article analyses an experience with treatment of 96 patients with acute intestinal obstruction caused by peritoneal commissures. The technique of laparoscopic operations and principles of their realization are described. The observation of these principles is shown to give high effectiveness and safety of endovideosurgical interventions for acute intestinal obstruction.

[Programmed sanation laparoscopy in treatment of peritonitis].

An analysis of experiences with endovideosurgical sanation of the abdominal cavity was analyzed in 168 patients with diffuse peritonitis which complicated the course of different acute diseases. Relaparoscopy might be programmed and "on request". Programmed laparoscopy allowed adequate sanation of the abdominal cavity in most cases.

[The place of endovideosurgical interventions in treatment of inguinal hernias].

Endovideosurgical hernioplasty was performed in 3020 patients. Complex forms of inguinal hernias were diagnosed in 280 of them. These forms included: bilateral and combined inguinal hernias, inguinoscrotal hernias, sliding hernias, fixed and irreducible inguinal hernias, recurrent inguinal hernias after traditional herniorrhaphy and recurrent hernias after endovideosurgical hernioplasty.

[Endovideosurgical antireflux operations in combination with cholecystectomy].

In the city center of endovideosurgery during 1999-2005 there were 205 patients examined and treated for cholelithiasis combined with gastro-esophageal-reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernias. Simultaneous interventions, antireflux operation and cholecystectomy were performed in 150 patients. Cholecystectomy followed by conservative treatment of GERD was performed in 55 patients.

[Endovideosurgery in treatment of Meckel's diverticulum].

The authors made an analysis of using endovideosurgery in diagnosing and treatment of Meckel's diverticulum and its complications in 18 patients. They describe signs and diagnostic criteria of the disease. Adequate treatment was proved to be possible by laparoscopy.

[Acute tumorous obstruction of the colon in elderly and senile patients].

The authors present the results of surgical treatment of 106 elderly and senile patients. In 30 patients admitted in a extremely severe condition the acute intestinal obstruction was combined with peritonitis. Postoperative mortality in this group of patients was 86.

[Complications of endovideosurgical repair of inguinal and femoral hernias].

On the basis of an experience with 1800 operations of endovideosurgical hernioplasty in patients with inguinal and femoral hernias, the authors analyze the frequency and character of complications after such operations. Complications were noted in 37 (2.05%) patients.

[Features of video laparoscopic interventions in patients operated earlier on abdominal organs].

Laparoscopic operations in patients who have undergone earlier "open" operations on abdominal organs are described. Before 1994 open laparoscopy by Hassan was used for penetration into the abdominal cavity. There were 46 such manipulations (2.

[Laparoscopy in the differential diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis and acute gynecological diseases].

Laparoscopy was used in differential diagnostics of acute appendicitis in 524 female patients. Acute gynecological diseases were diagnosed in 123-of them, inflammatory processes in appendages being most frequent. The laparoscopic technology allowed not only to avoid diagnostic errors in all the cases, but also to take all necessary surgical measures.

[Laparoscopic extraperitoneal hernioplasty in the treatment of patients with an inguinal hernia].

The first experience with using laparoscopic extraperitoneal hernioplasty with implant Prolene" in 300 patients since November 1992 is analyzed. The analysis of the original method of laparoscopic extraperitoneal hernioplasty has shown its efficiency and safety for patients with inguinal hernias (recurrences were noted in 2,3%).

[Laparoscopic appendectomy in acute appendicitis].

Laparoscopic technology was applied as diagnostic method in 608 patients, 50 patients have undergone laparoscopic appendectomy. There were no diagnostic errors in laparoscopy application. Laparoscopic technology allowed to perform appendectomy quite safely and without any complications.

[Immediate results of laparoscopic hernioplasty in inguinal and femoral hernias].

In 1992-1994 laparoscopic hernioplasty was performed in 403 patients with inguinal (371) and femoral (32) hernias. Mean duration of hospital-stay 2.3 days, period of incapacity 9.
