Introduction. The authors present a clinical case of an 8-year-old patient with an extremely rare Allgrove’s syndrome and cardia achalasia. By various authors, in case of this syndrome, achalasia of the cardia is diagnosed in 75% of cases, along with other symptoms. Currently, there are a number of modalities for treating achalasia of the cardia. However, the most popular one is cardiomyotomy by Heller in combination with fundoplication by Dor which recently has been successfully performed with minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.Clinical case. In present case, the patient had all possible minimally invasive surgical interventions. However, all attempts to apply organ-preserving techniques for treating achalasia of the cardia had failed .Results. Finally, the child had esophageal plastic surgery – coloesophagoplasty with good clinical outcomes.

Since the active introduction of neuroimaging methods, the prevalence of registered children with craniovertebral anomalies, including the Chiari malformation (CM), has a statistically significant tendency to increase. Minimally invasive surgical interventions are the most acceptable in pediatric neurosurgery, however, currently experience has been accumulated enough that does not confirm the universality of this method, due to the high frequency of reoperations at an older age, as well as a decrease of children’s quality of life in the interoperative periods. Considering the imperfection of treatment strategy mentioned above, the aim of this article was to analyze modern surgical interventions in pediatric and adult neurosurgeons with confirmation of our own results as an example of a clinical case of Chiari malformation in our clinic.

The review presents a modern view on the features of the course and treatment of acute pancreatitis, based on a cascade of pathophysiological mechanisms of this disease. A number of concepts of development and course of acute pancreatitis on the basis of randomized prospective and retrospective researches devoted to this problem are considered. Attention is paid to the mechanisms of development of organ failure in acute pancreatitis. In accordance with the above, the main positions of treatment measures for acute pancreatitis, which are based on the principles of tactics "step-up approach" were highlighted. Among them, attention is focused on the features of the conservative treatment program, minimally invasive surgical interventions, as well as the management of the postoperative period of patients. Minimally invasive surgical interventions perform the main tasks of surgical treatment in acute pancreatitis, but significantly reduce surgical trauma compared to "open" methods. Adequate management of the postoperative period of patients is carried out through the implementation of protocols "fast-track surgery".

OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive posterior cervical decompression (miPCD) has been described in several case series with promising preliminary results. The object of the current study was to compare the clinical outcomes between patients undergoing miPCD with anterior cervical discectomy and instrumented fusion (ACDFi). METHODS A retrospective study of 74 patients undergoing surgery (45 using miPCD and 29 using ACDFi) for myelopathy was performed. Outcomes were categorized into short-term, intermediate, and long-term follow-up, corresponding to averages of 1.7, 7.7, and 30.9 months, respectively. Mean scores for the Neck Disability Index (NDI), neck visual analog scale (VAS) score, SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS), and SF-12 Mental Component Summary (MCS) were compared for each follow-up period. The percentage of patients meeting substantial clinical benefit (SCB) was also compared for each outcome measure. RESULTS Baseline patient characteristics were well-matched, with the exception that patients undergoing miPCD were older (mean age 57.6 ± 10.0 years [miPCD] vs 51.1 ± 9.2 years [ACDFi]; p = 0.006) and underwent surgery at more levels (mean 2.8 ± 0.9 levels [miPCD] vs 1.5 ± 0.7 levels [ACDFi]; p < 0.0001) while the ACDFi patients reported higher preoperative neck VAS scores (mean 3.8 ± 3.0 [miPCD] vs 5.4 ± 2.6 [ACDFi]; p = 0.047). The mean PCS, NDI, neck VAS, and MCS scores were not significantly different with the exception of the MCS score at the short-term follow-up period (mean 46.8 ± 10.6 [miPCD] vs 41.3 ± 10.7 [ACDFi]; p = 0.033). The percentage of patients reporting SCB based on thresholds derived for PCS, NDI, neck VAS, and MCS scores were not significantly different, with the exception of the PCS score at the intermediate follow-up period (52% [miPCD] vs 80% [ACDFi]; p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS The current report suggests that the optimal surgical strategy in patients requiring dorsal surgery may be enhanced by the adoption of a minimally invasive surgical approach that appears to result in similar clinical outcomes when compared with a well-accepted strategy of ventral decompression and instrumented fusion. The current results suggest that future comparative effectiveness studies are warranted as the miPCD technique avoids instrumented fusion.

A cirurgia minimamente invasiva (CMI), é um termo que descreve procedimentos cirúrgicos pouco invasivos com ou sem instrumentos de ampliação, porém ainda não existe evidência científica se existe maior previsibilidade estética e de taxa de recobrimento radicular nas CMI em relação a cirurgia para recobrimento radicular convencional. Desta forma, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura utilizando-se a seguinte estratégia de busca: (microsurgery OR surgical AND minimally invasive surgical OR surgery AND gingival recession AND periodontal plastic surgery OR surgical AND root coverage). nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, BVS e Google Acadêmico utilizando-se de artigos publicados entre os períodos de 2011 à 2019. No total foram encontrados 546 artigos e após a seleção mediante os critérios de inclusão permaneceram 05 artigos para o estudo, todos ensaios clínicos randomizados. As informações avaliadas dos artigos foram seus objetivos, tamanho da amostra, técnicas cirúrgicas realizadas, o tempo de acompanhamento e os resultados e conclusão. Com base nas análises, pode-se concluir que a CMI não necessita do uso de instrumentos de magnificação. A tunelização realizada para recobrimento radicular proporciona melhores resultados como ganho tecidual e estético em relação ao Retalho tracionado coronalmente (RTC), principalmente para as classes I e II de Miller. O uso de enxerto conjuntivo associado a CMI aumentou a previsibilidade de resultados satisfatórios.

The last 20 years have seen considerable advances in the management of vascular diseases both in non-invasive imaging and minimally invasive surgical interventions. Colour duplex ultrasonography provides non-invasive and increasingly high-resolution anatomic and haemodynamic vascular information. This has been complimented by the development of minimally invasive interventional procedures such as subintimal angioplasty and endovenous treatments, all of which can be performed under local anaesthesia. These advances can now be utilized to improve both the assessment and management of patients with chronic leg ulceration where the aetiology is usually vascular and mostly primary venous insufficiency. Using non-invasive Doppler pressures and colour duplex imaging, the anatomic and haemodynamic pattern of the underlying vascular disease (and consequently the pathophysiology) can be precisely determined. This enables appropriate planning and targeting of effective management from an early stage in the history of any particular ulcer. This paper highlights the importance of achieving accurate diagnosis and instituting effective treatments that are appropriately targeted at the underlying pathophysiology, in patients with chronic leg ulceration, and describes how recent advances in technology and interventions have substantially increased the tools available to the vascular specialist. Thus allowing safe and effective management of what can otherwise become a prolonged or recurrent disease process.
