[External drainage of bile ducts via the ligamentum teres hepatis].

The experience of external drainage application of biliary ducts via lig. teres hepatis was summarized. The lowering of complications rate by 7.

[A new method for plastic repair of the inguinal canal in treating inguinal hernias].

An analysis of the 20-years experience with treatment of inguinal hernias is presented. Patients with "light" forms of inguinal hernias and with a good condition of the posterior wall, inconsiderable widening of the deep opening of the inguinal canal can be successfully treated by Martynov's and Girard's methods. In complicated forms of the inguinal hernia it is necessary to strengthen the posterior wall of the inguinal canal, in cases with big recurrent and repeatedly recurring hernias it must be completely reconstructed, often with the help of alloplasty.

[A method for the musculoaponeurotic plastic repair of complex abdominal hernias].

A method for plasty of the complex forms of postoperative and umbilical hernias is described. The muscular-aponeurotic edges of the hernial ring are sutured in such a way to make the peritoneal leaflet adjoin each other. Use of the method mentioned permits approximation of the similar tissues, reduction in their tension when suturing and maximum preservation of the volume of the abdominal cavity.

[Simultaneous operations--the nomenclature and the definition].

304 operations with simultaneous herniotomy were performed on 282 patients for different associated diseases. Most frequent combinations of the diseases coexistent with ventral hernias, specific features and immediate results of the operations are described. The opinions of different scientists on the name, definition and essence of simultaneous operations are analyzed.

[Variants of reconstructive and reparative surgery in high strictures and injuries of the biliary system].

The authors' views of the problem of reconstructive and restorative surgery of the biliary tract are set forth and original methods are suggested for external and through drainage after formation of hepatohepatic- and hepaticojejunal-anastomosis (via the inferior surface of the right lobe of the liver in the region of the gallbladder bed and through the round ligament of the liver). Some problems of operative techniques in establishment of the anastomoses are discussed. A total of 39 operations were carried out: 25 reconstructive and 14 restorative.

[Effect of endolymphatic antibiotic therapy on the status of cellular immunity in peritonitis].

The immune status in 68 patients with diffuse and generalized peritonitis was studied. It was established, that a degree of the impairment in immune response depended on peritonitis spreading. Endolymphatic antibiotic therapy had immunostimulating effect in patients with diffuse peritonitis, in generalized peritonitis, this was not observed.

[Drainage variants in reconstructive and restorative operations for high strictures and injuries of the biliary tract].

The article deals with the author's views on certain aspects of the problem of reconstructive and restorative surgery of the biliary tract. Original methods are suggested for external drainage (through the inferior surface of the right hepatic lobe in the region of the gallbladder seat and through the round ligament of the liver) in formation of ++hepato-hepatico- and hepaticojejunoanastomoses. Problems of operative techniques in formation of the anastomoses are discussed.

[Method of administering drugs into the pancreas in the form of an aerosol].

The treatment of 19 patients with acute and chronic pancreatitis by application of drug aerosols into the retroperitoneal space to the focus of affection, the inflamed pancreas, is described. The new method was shown to have some advantages.
