The composition of microflora of the distal part of intestine of 25 healthy and osteoporotic women-patients aged 50-79 years, depending on their diet, has been studied. The quantitative composition of intestinal microflora of women with osteoporosis, indicates the presence of dysbiosis caused by the decrease in the content of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and a high level of undesirable microorganisms. The content of 78 nutrients in the diet of the examined women was analyzed. It was shown that the diet of patients with osteoporosis was more calorie rich and included a higher amount of essential nutrients than the diet of healthy women. The indicators of bone mineral density, depending on the number of representatives of nine groups of microorganisms isolated from the contents of the distal part of intestine, were analyzed. It has been well established that with an increase in the number of enterococci in the contents of the distal part of intestine the deterioration of the structural-functional state of the bone tissue can be observed.

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).
Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.

Background: Optimal selection of anastomosis technique is crucial in colectomy surgeries to ensure success and minimize postoperative complications. Various methods, both manual and stapler-assisted, are employed for intestinal anastomosis. This study aims to compare two surgical methods of intestinal anastomosis through macroscopic and microscopic examination.

Hirschsprung's (HSCR) disease, also known as aganglionic megacolon, or congenital intestinal aganglionosis affects roughly 1 out of every 5000 newborns. It is a birth defect characterized by the partial or complete loss of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus of the distal intestine which leads to ineffective peristalsis, constipation, and obstruction. Clinical assessment and radiological observations might imply HSCR disease, but definitive diagnosis requires biopsy interpretation and confirmation of ganglion cell loss.

Introduction: The gastrointestinal microbiota profoundly influences the health and productivity of animals. This study aimed to characterize microbial community structures of the mouth, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and feces of cattle.
Methods: Samples were collected from 18 Akaushi crossbred steers at harvest from multiple locations, including the oral cavity, rumen, abomasum, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, spiral colon, distal colon, and feces.

Background: Reduced-port laparoscopic surgery (RPLS) uses the minimum possible number of ports or small-sized ports in laparoscopic surgery. The combination of RPLS and natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) minimizes the procedural damage.
Methods: A total of 17 patients diagnosed with right colon cancer were included: 5 patients in the RPLS + NOSE group and 12 patients in the conventional laparoscopic surgery (CL) + mini-laparotomy (ML) group.
