The impact of complex pathogenetic treatment involving the latest advances of science and technology in the correction of pulmonary surfactant system (PSS) disorders, extracorporeal therapy and immunomodulation on the enhancement of efficiency of surgical treatment in patients with progressive destructive tuberculosis of the lung. The results of examinations and treatment were studied in 199 patients with progressive and complicated pulmonary tuberculosis. According to the used treatment, the patients were divided into 2 groups: a study group (n = 102) and a control one (n = 97). In the pre- and postoperative periods, the study group patients received complex pathogenetic therapy by the developed algorithm: for pharmacological activation of PSS, nebulizer aerosol therapy with lasolvan (ambroxol) was first used in various modifications by the developed algorithms. The efficiency of preoperative preparation in the study group patients in accordance with the applied methods of pathogenetic therapy indicated that the best results were achieved in the context of stabilization of a specific process, compensation of complications and comorbidity in the patients who underwent modified drug-induced PSS activation with small-volume plasmapheresis and leukinferon (LI) in 93.3% and drug-induced PSS activation with small-volume medical plasmapheresis (MI) in 81.4%. Overall, comprehensive preoperative preparation involving correction of homeostatic disorders by the developed algorithm proved to be 30.9% more effective (81.4%) than the conventional preoperative preparation in the controls (50.5%). Analysis of the results of surgical treatment depending on the methods of pathogenetic therapy used in the pre- and postoperative period showed that the efficiency of surgical treatment was observed in 25 (80%) patients receiving nebulizer aerosol therapy and MP, in 20 (86.9%) who had nebulizer aerosol therapy + MP and in only 8 (65%) treated with nebulizer aerosol therapy.

Robot-assisted pancreaticobiliary junction resection is a surgical technique employed to treat benign duodenal tumors. The procedure involves several key steps: making a longitudinal incision in the duodenum, excising the tumor at the pancreaticobiliary junction, inserting a biliary stent, connecting the biliary and duodenal mucosa, and suturing the duodenal incision during phase I. The robotic system enhances visibility, facilitates precise operations, minimizes duodenal traction injuries to the duodenum and surgical trauma, ensures accurate suture and fixation of bile duct stents, connects the bile duct and duodenal mucosa and reduces postoperative recovery time.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the necessity of intraluminal washout through cytological assessment to prevent implantation of exfoliated cancer cells (ECCs) in patients with rectal and sigmoid cancers.
Methods: We studied 140 patients with either sigmoid or rectal cancer who underwent anastomosis surgery using a double-stapling technique. An intraluminal washout sample was collected before and after irrigation with 1000, 1500, or 2000 mL of physiological saline or distilled water.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has achieved popularity because it facilitates monitoring of the functional integrity of neural structures under general anesthesia. It aids in the early detection of injury and minimizes postoperative neurologic deficit or neurologic morbidity from surgical manipulations of various neurologic structures. The patient mentioned in this case report presented with lower limb radiculopathy and was diagnosed with diastematomyelia Type II, and she was planned for surgical intervention under general anesthesia.

The rotator cuff, a vital group of tendons and muscles in the shoulder, is essential for stabilizing the joint and enabling a wide range of arm movements. Rotator cuff tears, common across all age groups, often cause significant pain and functional limitations. Rotator cuff repair surgery aims to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.

Methods: A global survey was conducted among 280 plastic surgeons and 39 plastic and reconstructive surgery societies worldwide, enquiring about flap and donor site selection, surgical actions, perforator imaging, and perioperative care during ABR.
Results: Eighty-two responses were received, among which 71% (n=58) were completed questionnaires.
