Improvement of Microvascular Function in Patients with Morbid Obesity After Bariatric Surgery Revealed by Imaging Photoplethysmography.

Background: Morbid obesity leads to serious complications such as diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Bariatric surgery aims to reduce body weight and correct metabolic disorders and associated macro- and microvascular dysfunction. Metabolic disturbances can be assessed by biochemical markers, whereas microvascular function can be assessed by the response to provocative stimuli.

Autoprobiotics in the Treatment of Patients with Colorectal Cancer in the Early Postoperative Period.

Despite great advances in the treatment of oncological diseases, the development of medical technologies to prevent or reduce complications of therapy, in particular, those associated with surgery and the introduction of antibiotics, remains relevant. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of autoprobiotics based on indigenous non-pathogenic strains of and as a personalized functional food product (PFFP) in the complex therapy of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the early postoperative period. A total of 36 patients diagnosed with CRC were enrolled in the study.

[Prospects of qualitative and quantitative assessment of bowel perfusion by fluorescent angiography with indocyanine green in colorectal surgery. First experience].

Objective: To assess the possibilities of fluorescent detection system in qualitative and quantitative assessment of bowel perfusion in colorectal resections.

Material And Methods: From May to August 2023, a single-center pilot cross-sectional unblinded study with inclusion of 18 patients with colon cancer (of left-sided - 12, of right-sided - 6, mean age - 72.9 years, m/w - 61/39%) was conducted.

[Fluorescence lymphography for sentinal lymph node biopsy in breast cancer].

Objective: To study diagnostic value of fluorescence lymphography for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer.

Material And Methods: The study enrolled 25 patients with breast cancer T1-2N0-1M0 between March 2023 and July 2023. Eight ones underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

[Integration of ICG-fluorescence cholangiography into the safety system of laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

The Aim Of The Study: Is evaluating the possibility of integrating ICG-fluorescent cholangiography into the general safety system for laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent damage to the extrahepatic bile ducts by working out the methodological aspects of navigation technologies.

Materials And Methods: The analysis of literature data on various approaches to improve the perioperative identification of anatomical structures during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, including the ICG-fluorescent cholangiography, was carried out. This program was implemented during the provision of elective surgical care to 24 patients with cholelithiasis who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with ICG-fluorescent navigation.
