[MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF GASTRIC MUCOSA AFTER INSERTION OF INTRAGASTRIC BALLOON].

Morphological changes in gastric mucosa were studied, optimal terms of bariatric operations performance after intragastric balloon (IGB) insertion were determined. Before the IGB insertion in 10 (35.7%) patients, in accordance to histological investigations, the changes in gastric mucosa were not revealed, and in 18 (64.

[ASSESSMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE PAIN SYNDROME AT SINGLE-PORT TRANSUMBILICAL LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY].

The article analyzes the dynamics of postoperative pain at single-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is shown that the intensity of pain in patients who have undergone laparoscopic procedures through a single transumbilical access was significantly less than in patients with traditional laparoscopic intervention. Furthermore, the use of a single-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy accompanied by a smaller increase in the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines compared with patients who had laparoscopic procedures through four trocar accesses.

[MINIINVASIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN TREATMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE ABDOMINAL HERNIAS].

Methods and results of treatment of 119 patients, suffering postoperative abdominal hernia, were analyzed. There was established, that application of laparoscopic miniinvasive technologies permits to improve the results of treatment in patients in comparison with those after open operative interventions, due to shortening of the operation duration, better visualization during viscerolysis conduction, shortening of rehabilitation period, the patients postoperative quality of life improvement.

[CLINICO-EXPERIMENTAL SUBSTANTIATION OF INTRAABDOMINAL PLASTY FOR UMBILICAL HERNIAS].

The impact of various methods of plasty, using net implants, on results of umbilical hernias treatment was studied in experimental and clinical investigation. The umbilical hernias plasty was performed in accordance to the IPOM (intraperitoneal on lay mesh) method, application of which have permitted to reduce a hospital stay of the patients as well as their period of social rehabilitation, and to guarantee the best cosmetic effect in comparison with such while making umbilical hernias plasty in accordance to a sub lay method.

[Application of principles of "fast track" surgery in treatment of calculous cholecystitis].

The "fast track" concept in surgery provides rapid rehabilitation of postoperative patients, using the operative trauma reduction, adequate anesthesia--for reduction of the organism stress answer on surgical intervention. Results of treatment were analyzed in 118 patients, in whom for calculous cholecystitis the one-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy (OPTLCH) was performed. Duration of the patients stationary treatment without abdominal cavity drainage have constituted at average (1.
