[Study on the efficacy of famotidine (Quamatel) in the complex treatment of erosive gastroduodenitis, stress stomach ulcer and peptic duodenal ulcer].

The haemorrhage of upper gastrointestinal tract is one of the serious problem in urgent surgery. Clinical effect of treatment with Quamatel purposely research was holded comparison of results in two groups patients. In group A with general medical treatment was included Quamatel--2 x 20 mg i.v. a day. In group B the patients was treated without H2 blocker. In cases of erosive gastritis was reported favorable effect in 76.47% at second day. The patients with stress stomach ulcer same effect was observed in third day--83.3%. In cases with peptic duodenal ulcer in I B--Forest group the bleeding was taken possession of 61.9%, in group II--79.31% and III--90.91% of patients.

[An attempt for the creation a united working scheme for the comparative analysis of peritonitis].

Many attempTs have been made to create an universal classification of peritonitis. The aspirations of many authors to work out a scheme that is able to be in one and the same time thorough, simple and appLicable in practice, have been found to be unrealizable. This blank stimulate us to work up a scheme which will facilitate showing the nature of the pathological process, the analysis of the clinical data, the similarities and the differences in the development of the illness and the most important--to direct to the most rational operation. We offer the following United working scheme for comparative analysis of peritonitis. It includes: Classification of mixed type formulated on the base of anatomical and etiological background; Modified classification of V. Feodorov about dissemination of peritonitis; Classification based on pathophysiology of the peritonitis; Classification system for estimation the seriousness of the illness MPI-modified.

[Bacterial translocation from the gastrointestinal tract: catalyst of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome].

The abnormal colonization of gastrointestinal tract (GIT), the loss of the intestinal barrier function, the bacterial translocation (BT) are signs of intestinal insufficiency which are supposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of MODS. This worsens the condition or leads to lethal outcome in patients after major abdominal surgery in ICU. The goal of this investigation was to consider the scientific and clinical evidence for the BT role in the pathogenesis of MODS and to present evidence about the advantages and the efficiency of antibiotic combination Amikacin plus Clindamycin as a new therapeutic strategy for the improvement of the outcome in patients with MODS and sepsis. To that purpose patients with diffuse peritonitis of different origin were analyzed. After surgery some patients were left with laparostomy. This gave the possibility for revisions and lavages of the abdominal cavity and for taking material for microbiological analyses. The patients were grouped into two subgroups according to antibiotic treatment: 1st group--combination of usually used antibiotics; 2nd group--Amikacin plus Clindamycin. The second group patients showed good tolerance to this antibiotic combination and good therapeutic effect.

[Large-intestine perforations caused by primary colorectal cancer].

Twenty-seven cases of perforation, produced by primary colorectal carcinoma over the period 1993-1998, are described. The underlying causes of colorectal carcinoma complication and types of perforations observed are discussed. This is a report on personal experience with the therapeutic approach and operative management of this severest complication of colorectal carcinoma.

Colonic Diseases↗

[Combined and extended radical operations in colorectal carcinoma patients].

This is a report on radical operative interventions performed in 273/385 patients presenting complicated colorectal carcinoma, covering the period 1993 through 1998. Fifty-four patients are subjected to combined and extended operations, distributed as follows: 31 combined and 23 extended. In fifteen patients with abdomino-perineal extirpation the combined interventions include: hysterectomy (6), ovariectomy (8), resection of vagina (7), prostate gland resection (3) and bladder resection (2). In case of resection of rectum after Hartmann, combined intervention is done in five patients--small intestine resection, ovariectomy, appendectomy and cyst extirpation from pelvis minor, respectively. Postoperative lethality amounts to 12.9 per cent, or 7/54 patients with complicated colorectal carcinoma undergoing combined and extended surgical interventions.

[Primary colorectal carcinoma as an underlying cause of obturation of the ileum].

This is a report on 169 patients presenting colorectal carcinoma with complication assuming the form of occlusive ileus, observed over the period 1993 through 1998. Obturation is the commonest complication of colonic carcinoma (48.9%) with the left colon being more often involved (58.3%), recorded in a total of 108 patients. During the same period of time, occlusive ileus against the background of carcinoma of the rectum is diagnosed in 61 cases, representing 37 per cent of complicated forms of this malignant neoplasm. The scope of operative management and the procedure used are largely determined by the location of primary malignancy. The timing of undertaking one or another operative intervention depends on the efficacy of preoperative preparation, degree of occlusive ileus progress, patient's age, concomitant diseases and the like. Failing to comply with or overlooking some of the aforementioned factors invariably exerts an unfavourable effect on the final outcome of treatment. In each patient presenting colorectal-carcinoma-induced occlusive ileus it is mandatory to precisely specify the scope of surgery, consistent with the patient's general condition, and eliminate the underlying cause jeopardizing his life.

Acute Disease↗

[Tactics and operative methods in treating complicated colorectal cancer].

Over the period 1993-1998, a total of 385 patients with complicated colorectal cancer are subjected to treatment in the clinic of emergency surgery--University Hospital "Queen Giovanna", Sofia. Obturation is the commonest form of complication--43.8 per cent, perforation within the tumor or diastasis noted in 27 cases (7.01%), paratumor abscesses and infiltrates--in 8.3 per cent and rectohemorrhage--in 4.2 per cent. The therapeutic and operative approach, and the scope of surgery are dependent on a multitude of factors which should be given due consideration by the surgeon. In each patient presenting complicated colorectal carcinoma it is mandatory to make a precise and individual choice of the extent of operative intervention, consistent with the patient's general condition and contributing to eliminate the life-endangering underlying cause.

Colorectal Neoplasms↗

[Transendoscopic drug denervation of the stomach in emergency surgical diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (a preliminary report)].

This is the first, preliminary report on the implementation of transendoscopic medicamentous denervation of the stomach as a therapeutic approach to acute surgical diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Diminishing the vagus nerve influence after the method described contributes to a substantial improvement of the treatment results in acute pancreatitis patients by shortening the term of therapeutic fasting, avoiding nasogastric tube insertion, and making unnecessary H2-blockers application. TEMDS is indicated in all instances of acute pancreatitis, bleeding duodenal ulcer, bleeding ulcus pepticum jejuni following BII resection of the stomach.

Emergencies↗

[Anaerobic surgical infection and septic shock].

In the period 1990 through 1995, one-hundred patients operated for acute abdomen or admitted on a routine basis, presenting evidence of anaerobic infection, undergo treatment in the clinic of emergency surgery. Septic shock develops in 10/100 patients (10 per cent). In six of the latter the outcome is fatal--three with infection caused by spore-forming anaerobes (gas gangrene of the inguinal region--of Fournier, and anterior abdominal wall--anus praeternaturalis--two), and three with infection caused by non-spore-forming anaerobes (mixed anaerobic-aerobic infection). Anaerobic surgical infection and septic shock specificity is discussed, with an algorithm of therapeutic approach, based on clinical experience had with 100 patients, being proposed in either of them. Special emphasis is laid on antibiotic prophylaxis against anaerobic surgical infection. Its implementation in the concrete clinical conditions in this country demands a clearcut hospital drug policy (adoption of the "Drug Formularies" system), and elaboration of a new economical approach to the choice of antibacterial agents (using some of the forms of pharmaco-economical analysis, practicable with a view to the Bulgarian health-care model).
