ROLE OF INTRACAVITARY ENDOSCOPY IN A TREATMENT OF THORACOABDOMINAL INJURIES
Aim. To improve treatment results of patients with thoracoabdominal injuries using intracavity endoscopy approaches. Materials and methods. The treatment results of 76 (100%) patients with thoracoabdominal injuries, that were treated in thoracoabdominal department of Perm City Clinical Hospital № 9 from 2010 to 2016 were studied. The number of patients included 64 (84,21%) men and 12 (15,79%)women. The average age of patients was 35,15±11,34 years. All injuries had punctured or cut nature, no gunshot wounds were observed. The injuries were from a left side in 47 (61,84%) ofpatients and from a right side in 29 (38,16%) of patients. Results. The results of active use of intracavitary endoscopy in surgery of 76 patients with thoracoabdominal injuries are presented. The indications for use of intrabdominal endoscopy approaches in a treatment of this pathology are defined. Conclusion. Active use of intrabdominal endoscopy approaches allows to avoid open surgeries in one of the anatomical areas in 77,14% of patients and in 17,14% patients allows using only mini-invasive technologies that lower surgery trauma and improves the quality of treatment.
