[Photodynamic therapy and fluorescent diagnosis of malignant tumors using preparation photogem].

From February, 1992 to May, 1993 photodynamic therapy (PDT) was applied at the State Scientific Center of Laser Medicine and the Moscow Scientific-Research Oncological Institute for the treatment of 60 patients with primary and metastatic malignant tumors of the breast, skin, respiratory and digestive organs, female reproductive organs, and urinary bladder. Forty-eight patients underwent one course of PDT, 11 patients received 2 courses, and one patient was given 3 courses. Russian-produced Photogem was used as the photosensitizer. It was infused intravenously 24, 48, or 72 hours before exposure to laser beam. The dose of Photogem ranged from 2.5 to 6.0 mg/kg. The density of laser radiation power during PDT sessions ranged from 100 to 1,600 mVt/cm2, energy exposure from 80 to 600 J/cm2, duration of irradiation from 3 to 45 minutes. After treatment the patients were studied in follow-up periods of 4 weeks to 17 months. Complete regression of the tumor verified morphologically was found in 62%, partial regression in 34%, and limited response or absence of an effect in 4% of cases. Fluorescent-diagnostic examination of patients was conducted at the Moscow Scientific-Research Oncological Institute. It demonstrated the reliability of this diagnostic method with the use of the preparation Photogem as the photosensitizer.

[An analysis of the reasons for relaparotomy in the surgical clinic].

The results of surgical treatment of 4,078 patients who underwent operation in 1985-1989 were studied. Due to the occurrence of complications in the early postoperative period, 182 relaparotomies were carried out in 164 patients. The main indications for relaparotomies were advanced underlying disease, surgical errors (tactical, technical), changes of the patients' immune status. Early diagnosis, timely operation with the use of technically correct manipulations, and the application of a full complex of intensive therapy measures in the postoperative period are important in the prevention of complications.

Denervation of the gastric acid-producing zone by a gastric wall laser seromyotomy.

The application of various surgical laser devices offers the possibility for significant simplification of the technique of the selective denervation of a gastric acid-producing zone proposed by Tylor as the gastric wall seromyotomy. The application of laser technique results in decreased operative time, a wide range of surgical practice, less operative bleeding, and more reliable denervation. Operations performed in 38 patients provide a basis for recommending optimal parameters of laser energy for the gastric wall incision and reveal the advantages and disadvantages of different irradiation sources. Early results of of the operation are not worse than after the proximal selective vagotomy.

[Techniques of mechanical suture formation in Swenson's operation in children].

The authors describe briefly the design and method of working with a special suturing instrument in formation of an extraperitoneal anastomosis by a modification of Swenson's operation in children suffering from developmental anomalies of the large intestine. The instrument ensures one-stage stitching of the intestine along its entire circumference before its resection. The anastomosis is formed four times more rapidly and the manipulation is more aseptic. Eight children were operated on with the use of the instrument and no complications occurred.

[Use of carbon dioxide laser in emergency surgery of the extrahepatic bile ducts].

The principles of surgical techniques of operations with the use of carbon dioxide laser were developed on basis of the authors' personal experience of 8 years in surgical interventions on 65 patients. The stages of the operative approach, cholecystectomy, choledochotomy, +choledocho-duodeno-anastomosis, papillosphincterotomy, and sterilization of the operative wound and intraabdominal abscesses are illustrated by professionally drawn illustration-diagrams. Laser separation of the gallbladder from the liver takes 220 +/- 35 sec, laser hemostasis and cholestasis of the gallbladder bed--245 +/- 40 sec, laser choledochotomy--17 +/- 8 sec, laser duodenotomy--33 +/- 9 sec. No specific complications were encountered after laser interventions.

[A method of laser seromyotomy of the stomach].

A technique of laser seromyotomy was developed as a method for vagus denervation for the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers. Soviet Raduga neodymium YAG laser and foreign Medilaz and Flexilas units were employed as sources of laser irradiation. The operation was performed in the 'contact scalpel' mode with the use of Soviet sapphire tips. The developed technique permits seromyotomy that results in better hemostasis and lower risk of gastric submucosal layer involvement vs. electronomo suggested earlier by Taylor, an English surgeon. Twelve patients were operated on; one developed intraperitoneal hemorrhage that ceased independently.

[Use of Nichrome suture material].

The suture material and the method of its application play an important role in the prevention of wound complications. With the use of Nichrome wire thread as the suture material in surgical interventions, the number of postoperative complications significantly was decreased. The Nichrome thread is also used expediently in operative interventions on patients with purulent diseases of the soft tissues, including cases after primary surgical treatment of purulent foci by carbon dioxide laser.

[Treatment of fissure in ano by the method of laser coagulation].

The article analyses the results of treatment of acute and chronic anal fissures with the use of the method of laser photocoagulation in 181 patients, in 87 of them the fissures were combined with other proctological diseases. The essence of the operation is three-fold laser treatment (CO2 laser) of the edges and floor of the fissures. The pathologically changed tissues are evaporated and coagulated in this case with the formation of a coagulation film on the wound surface. Histological examination of bioptic material collected from the zone exposed to the effect of the laser shows complete disappearance of the pathological tissue. The operation is simple and sparing in the treatment of anal tissues, ensures improvement of the immediate results, as well as a decrease of the frequency of a recurrence to 1.4%. The method may be introduced successfully into outpatient surgical practice.

[Comparative evaluation of the results of traditional and laser papillosphincterotomy].

The techniques of papillosphincterotomy were improved on the basis of CO2 laser and special laser tools. The results of 212 routine and 114 laser papillosphincterotomies were appraised. With the laser techniques, the incidence of postoperative complications reduced to 14% as compared to 23.6% with the routine method. The incidence of postoperative pancreatitis decreased from 7.5% to 4.3%, the destructive pancreatitis mortality, from 4.7% to 0.9%. The long-term results provide evidence for laser papillosphincterotomy.

[Co2 laser treatment of epithelial passages and cysts of the coccyx].

The article analyses treatment of 312 patients among which 156 were treated with the use of a CO2 laser and 156 by the traditional method. Study of the results showed that with the use of the CO2 laser the duration of in-patient treatment after radical operation was reduced by 5 days and out-patient rehabilitation by 13 days. the number of postoperative complications reduced considerably, single-stage radical operation could be carried out in the acute period of the disease, an operation for excision of a suppurating cyst could be completed by applying primary sutures with complete closure of the wound in 71.7% of cases, and that a recurrence of the disease could be prevented. Wide introduction of CO2 laser in surgical treatment of epithelial passages and cysts of the coccyx is recommended.
