Aim. To evaluate the efficiency of laparoscopic devascularization of the esophagus and stomach with endoscopic ligation of varicose esophageal veins in the prevention of esophageal-gastric bleeding among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. Methods. The results of treatment of 73 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and high risk of bleeding were analyzed. To prevent recurrent bleeding from esophageal and gastric veins, all patients underwent endoscopic ligation at the first step of treatment. In case of inefficiency of ligation and recurrence of varicose veins of esophagus, laparoscopic devascularization of esophagus and stomach was performed. The efficiency of laparoscopic devascularization with intraoperative endoscopic ligation of varicose esophageal veins and ligation as an independent method of treatment for the prevention of upper gastrointestinal bleeding was estimated by comparison of the frequency of recurrence of esophageal and gastric bleeding and recurrence of esophageal varices according to upper endoscopy in comparison groups. Results. In 6 months, 1 and 2 years after laparoscopic devascularization of the esophagus and stomach in combination with endoscopic ligation, the risk of bleeding is less compared to endoscopic ligation as an isolated treatment method (p=0.05; p=0.052; p=0.06). Laparoscopic devascularization with ligation reduces the risk of recurrence of esophageal varices during the first year after surgery by 20% (χ2=2.61; p=0.106), in 2 years by 23% (χ2=1.75; p=0.091) compared to endoscopic ligation only. Conclusion. Patients with liver cirrhosis with decompensated hepatic failure satisfactorily postpone endovideosurgical interventions; laparoscopic gastric devascularization with the intersection of the main inflows to the esophageal varicose veins is an effective method to prevent esophageal-gastric hemorrhage among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis after ineffective endoscopic ligation.

A systematic search of literary sources in the abstract databases Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, the Cochrane Library, CyberLeninka, RSCI for 2010-2018. The search queries were: acute pancreatitis and complications, acute pancreatitis and diagnosis, acute pancreatitis and diagnosis and complications, acute pancreatitis and complications, and sepsis. The results of search and analysis of selected literature sources are presented. It was revealed that the currently used set of laboratory and instrumental methods of diagnosis of infectious complications of acute pancreatitis does not fully meet the needs of clinical practice. The most common of them are the determination of blood concentrations Of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin. At the same time, a number of disadvantages of these methods are noted. In the last decade, many new markers of systemic infection have been introduced into clinical practice. Some of them are currently being investigated in order to diagnose systemic infection in General and infectious complications of acute pancreatitis in particular. The most promising are such as presepsin, MID-regional Pro-adrenomedullinum, CD64 neutrophil index and some others.

Purpose. To evaluate the capabilities of modern minimally invasive interventions under the beam guidance in the surgical treatment of pancreatic cysts. Materials and Methods. The results of the examination and treatment of 88 patients with pancreatic cysts. Percutaneous puncture drainage under ultrasonographic guidance holds 56 patients, endoscopic transmural drainage of cysts by ultrasonography- in 32. Results. After performing percutaneous drainage of cysts positive results were observed in 42 (75,0%) patients. Relapses cystic formations were observed in 14 (25.0%) patients. Endoscopic transmural drainage under ultrasonography noted one intraoperative complication perforation of the stomach wall. 6 patients had a good result. Term follow up of patients ranged from 10 months to 3 years. During endoscopic transmural drainage stent dislocation and relapse of cysts were not detected in all operated patients after 6 months, Long-term results were observed only in 11 patients. Conclusions. Percutaneous external drainage of pancreatic cysts is an effective intervention in 75% of patients. A fairly high percentage (25%) of relapses is due to the fact that long-term external drainage do not allow to achieve complete obliteration of the cyst cavity in its connection with the main pancreatic duct and preservation of ductal hypertension of the pancreas. Endoscopic installation of a stent between the hand cavity and the lumen of the stomach allows you to create conditions for a constant outflow of cyst contents into the stomach and eliminate pancreatic hypertension. The effectiveness of internal drainage is determined by the duration of stent functioning, as well as the possibility of forming an internal cystogastric fistula (3 figs, bibliography: 8 refs).
