CHANGES IN SPERMATOGENESIS AFTER SIMULATED INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR IN EXPERIMENT.

The Lichtenstein method revolutionized the treatment of inguinal hernias. But this method is accompanied by serious complications, as evidenced by the publications of recent years. Such complications include the development of fibrous changes in the scrotum, deejaculation, obstructive azoospermia, oligospermia.

Modified Lichtenshtein hernioplasty prevents male infertility.

Introduction: Lichtenstein hernia repair made revolutionary progress in hernia treatment. Since that a lot of modifications have been proposed. In a few of them attention is drawn to spermatic cord isolation from a mesh for prevention of spermatic cord involvement into inflammatory process which may lead to disturbances in ejaculation act and spermatogenesis itself

Aim Of The Study: To compare morphological parameters of sperm prior and after hernia surgery in those groups of patients who underwent Lichtenstein and modified Lichtenstein (with spermatic cord isolation from a mesh by Gvenetadze) hernia repairs.

[Parallels in clinical, laboratory and instrumental data between systemic lupus erythematosus and infectious endocarditis in children].

The aim of the study was the comparison of clinical, laboratory end instrumental data between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) end infectious endocarditis (IE) for analysis of similar and different features. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental data were analysed and compared for 96 SLE and 23 IE patients. SLE and IE have the following common features: fever, pleurisy, pericarditis, myocarditis hemorrhagic vasculitis, renal disorders, anaemia, concentrations of circulating immune complex (CIC), IgM.
