The paper presents the results of low-invasive, videosurgical, and organ-sparing operations, developed and performed by the authors. Original low-invasive techniques of external, external-and-internal and internal bile-duct drainage, and bile-duct endoprosthesis replacement have been performed in 25 patients with benign and malignant bile-duct strictures. Transcutaneous puncture drainage operations, including those combined with an original method of transdrainage sclerotherapy with nitric oxide, have been performed in 93 patients with postnecrotic pancreatic cysts. Endoscopic virsungotomy have been performed as part of the complex treatment of 43 patients with external pancreatic fistulas and 14 patients with polycystic head of pancreas. X-ray endovascular embolization has been performed in 7 patients with internal arterio-pancreatic fistulas. Program laparoscopic abdominal cavity sanation by an original method have been performed in 50 patients with diffuse peritonitis. The results of the study demonstrate high effectiveness of the methods, which in most cases can be applied as an alternative to conventional surgical interventions.

Background: Radioactive iodine (RAI) is a common treatment for various thyroid diseases. Previous studies have suggested susceptibility of parathyroid glands to the mutagenic effect of RAI and the development of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We tested the possible link between prior RAI treatment, disease presentation, and treatment outcomes.

Introduction: Solitary plasmacytomas are tumors characterized by a local increase of malignant plasma cells in soft tissue or bone and may occur anywhere without evidence of systemic disease. The aim was to focus on the main surgical techniques and outcomes for this rare chest wall tumor.

Methods: Patients with solitary plasmacytoma involving a rib, who were operated for diagnostic or treatment purposes between 2018 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Importance: Endocrine treatments, such as Tamoxifen (TAM) and/or Aromatase inhibitors (AI), are the adjuvant therapy of choice for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. These agents are associated with menopausal symptoms, adversely affecting drug compliance. Topical estrogen (TE) has been proposed for symptom management, given its' local application and presumed reduced bioavailability, however its oncological safety remains uncertain.

Background: Communicating vessels among hepatic veins in patients with tumors invading/compressing hepatic veins at their caval confluence facilitate new surgical solutions. Although their recognition by intraoperative ultrasound has been described, the possibility of preoperative detection still remains uncertain. We aimed to develop a model to predict their presence before surgery.

Rationale: Locked-in syndrome (and its variant, completely locked-in state) generally has a high mortality rate in the acute setting; however, when induced by conditions such as acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, it may well be curable such that an attempt at cure should be systematically sought by clinicians.

Patient Concerns: A 52-year-old man presented with acute tetraparesia and areflexia, initially diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Despite appropriate treatment, his condition deteriorated, evolving into a completely locked-in state.
