13.1. TRACHEOSTOMY

Tracheostomy is an operation to form an artificial external fistula of the trachea (tracheostomy) after opening its lumen. The incision of the wall of the trachea is called a tracheotomy, and it is a step in performing a tracheostomy.

Tracheostomy is divided into upper, middle and lower. The reference point for the subdivision is the isthmus of the thyroid gland. It is adjacent to the trachea in front at the level from the 1st to the 3rd or from the 2nd to the 4th of its cartilages.

In case of upper tracheostomy, the opening of the tracheal lumen is performed above the isthmus of the thyroid gland by dissection of the 2nd and 3rd half rings, in case of the middle one, at the level of the isthmus after its intersection and dilution of the stumps to the sides, in case of lower tracheostomy, the trachea is opened below the isthmus, usually crossed 4- e and 5th cartilaginous semirings.

A special type of tracheostomy is percutaneous puncture microtracheostomy (tracheocentesis). Microtracheostomy (micro + tracheostomy) - tracheal puncture through the skin, produced by a thick surgical needle along the midline of the neck under the thyroid gland cartilage. Through a puncture with the help of a conductor, a thin elastic tube is inserted into the lumen of the trachea to suck the contents from the trachea and bronchi, introduce medicines or high-frequency injection ventilation of the lungs.

Indicationsto tracheostomy: obstruction of the upper respiratory tract - to prevent mechanical asphyxia; violation of the patency of the lower respiratory tract due to the ingress of aspiration and secretion products - for drainage and sanitation of the respiratory tract; violation of spontaneous breathing due to trauma to the chest, cervical segments of the spinal cord, acute vascular pathology brain, etc. - for artificial ventilation of the lungs; carrying out intubation anesthesia if it is impossible to intubate through the mouth or nose.

Depending on the timing of tracheostomy, it is divided into emergency, urgent, planned and preventive.

Emergency tracheostomy is performed as soon as possible with minimal or no preoperative preparation, in some cases without anesthesia at the patient's bedside, and in field conditions with improvised means.

Indications for emergency tracheostomy are: obstructive asphyxia when the lumen of the larynx is closed by a foreign body, tight tamponade of the oral cavity and pharynx in order to stop massive bleeding, aspiration asphyxia when it is impossible to suction the aspirated masses, stenotic asphyxia due to compression of the larynx and trachea by a rapidly growing hematoma, injuries to the larynx . Emergency tracheostomy is performed with paralysis and spasm of the vocal folds, acute stenosis of the larynx III-IV degree. Acute stenosis is most often caused by inflammatory and toxic-allergic lesions of the larynx, phlegmon of the floor of the mouth, tongue, peripharyngeal space, and neck.

Urgent tracheostomy is performed after short-term (within several hours) conservative treatment of acute respiratory failure, if the measures taken do not lead to an improvement in the patient's condition, for tracheal intubation and anesthesia during urgent operations for diseases accompanied by restriction of mouth opening, severe swelling of the tissues of the floor of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, which prevents intubation. It is performed for long-term artificial ventilation of the lungs in case of violation of spontaneous breathing caused by chest injuries, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, disorder cerebral circulation, poisoning, poliomyelitis, tetanus.

A planned tracheostomy is performed for intubation anesthesia through a tracheostomy during elective operations, if intubation through the mouth or nose is not possible or the operation is performed on the larynx. Indications for a planned tracheostomy may occur with chronic progressive stenosis of the larynx, its gradual compression by neck tumors, with impaired patency of the lower respiratory tract by inflammation and secretion products for drainage and sanitation of the trachea and bronchi.

Prophylactic tracheostomy is performed as a stage of extended surgical intervention for tumors of the floor of the mouth, tongue and lower parts of the face, neck organs, during operations on the lungs, heart, trachea, esophagus. The need for a tracheostomy arises

in these cases, due to the possibility of developing severe edema in the laryngopharynx and larynx due to surgical trauma, for artificial ventilation of the lungs and for performing endotracheal or endobronchial therapeutic interventions in the postoperative period.

Tracheostomy is an operation increased risk, since it is performed close to main vessels and vital important organs neck.

Tools.To perform a tracheostomy, a set of general surgical and special instruments is required: a scalpel - 1, hooks for expanding the wound - 2, sharp single-toothed hooks - 2, a grooved probe - 1, hemostatic clamps - 6, a needle holder - 1, scissors - 1, a two- or three-bladed Trousseau dilator - 1, tracheotomy tubes? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, surgical and anatomical tweezers, surgical needles (Fig. 13.1). In addition to this kit, an anesthetic solution for infiltration anesthesia, suture threads, 1% dicaine solution, a towel, gauze balls and napkins are needed.

Fig.13.1.Percutaneous Dilated Tracheostomy Kit

Patient position: on the back, under the shoulders at the level of the shoulder blades, a roller 10-15 cm high is placed, the head is thrown back (Fig. 13.2).

Upper tracheostomy technique. The surgeon is located to the right of the patient, the assistant is on the other hand, the operating nurse is to the right of the assistant at the table for surgical instruments. After processing the surgical field, the midline of the neck is marked on the skin, from the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage to the notch of the sternum, usually with a brilliant green solution. This line serves as a guide for the direction of the cut.

The skin incision for access to the trachea can be vertical and transverse. A transverse incision is used by some surgeons, making it 1-2 cm below the cricoid arch. They believe that the transverse wound on the neck gapes less, heals faster, and the scar after healing is less noticeable. In clinical practice, a vertical skin incision is more often used.

Identification points when performing a tracheostomy are the angle of the thyroid and the arc of the cricoid cartilage. The surgeon places the 1st and 3rd fingers of the left hand on the lateral surfaces of the thyroid cartilage, and places the 2nd finger in the gap between the thyroid and cricoid cartilages. This achieves reliable fixation of the larynx,

Fig.13.2.The position of the patient during tracheostomy and the location of the surgeon's fingers for fixing the larynx (from: Preobrazhensky B.S. et al., 1968)

and with it the trachea and keeping them in the median plane. A skin incision is made along a predetermined midline; it starts under the prominence of the thyroid cartilage and continues down 6-7 cm in adults and 3-4 cm in children. Dissect the skin with subcutaneous tissue, superficial neck fascia. Bleeding from the skin vessels is stopped by clamping with hemostatic forceps and bandaging them or by electrocoagulation. The assistant stretches the edges of the wound with blunt hooks.

Look for the white line of the neck. It is formed by the second and third fasciae of the neck, which merge with each other at the level of the isthmus of the thyroid gland along the midline, forming an aponeurosis. The width of the white line is 2-3 mm, downwards it does not reach the notch of the sternum by about 3 cm, where the fasciae diverge and form the interaponeurotic suprasternal space. The white line of the neck is usually clearly visible, it corresponds to the gap between the right and left sternohyoid muscles. In its projection, the fused sheets of the second and third fascia of the neck are incised strictly along the midline with a scalpel in the lower part of the wound, peeled off from the underlying tissues with a curved hemostatic clamp, dissected along a grooved probe. When carrying out this stage of the operation, it should be borne in mind that the anterior jugular veins descend along the anterior surface of the sternohyoid muscles, and sometimes they merge into one vessel - the median vein of the neck, which is located in the midline. This vein is either taken aside with a blunt hook, or crossed between two ligatures.

Rice. 13.3.Scheme of the location of injection points and directions for introducing an anesthetic solution during infiltration anesthesia during tracheotomy; the arrows show the direction of advancement of the needle and the introduction of the anesthetic solution (from: Babiyak V.I., Nakatis Ya.A., 2005).

trachea. To do this, the right and left sternohyoid muscles are separated along the midline with a clamp, then pushed apart with blunt hooks along with the anterior jugular veins. Visually and by palpation, the cricoid cartilage and the isthmus of the gland located under it are determined. It should be remembered that above the cricoid cartilage is the cricoid muscle, which can be mistaken for the isthmus. On the sides of the trachea is thyroid, which differs from the surrounding tissues in a softer texture and a peculiar brown-red color.

The surgeon's next task is to move the isthmus downward to expose the upper tracheal rings. A sheet of the fourth fascia of the neck is dissected along the lower edge of the cricoid cartilage, connecting the isthmus and cartilage (Bose's ligament) (Fig. 13.4 and 13.5).

With a blunt instrument (Buyalsky's scapula, closed Cooper's scissors), the isthmus is separated, together with the fascia covering it from behind, from the cricoid cartilage and trachea, with a blunt hook they are displaced downward and the three upper half-rings of the trachea are exposed. Certain difficulties in performing an upper tracheostomy can be created by the pyramidal lobule of the thyroid gland, which

cricoid cartilage (from: Yermola - hook and exposure of the upper rings

ev V.G., Preobrazhensky B.S., 1954) trachea

occurs in 1/3 of people. To perform an upper tracheostomy, the lobule should be cut between two hemostatic forceps, the stumps should be stitched and tied with catgut.

The next step is to open the lumen of the trachea. Even a slight bleeding must first be stopped. Bleeding vessels, if the patient's condition allows, it is better to tie up before opening the trachea, otherwise they should be left under clamps; the wound is dried with gauze pads. Failure to comply with this rule leads to blood entering the trachea, which causes coughing, increased intrathoracic and arterial pressure, increased bleeding, and in the postoperative period, pneumonia may occur.

To facilitate the opening of the trachea in the midline, its fixation is necessary. For this purpose, a sharp single-toothed hook is used to pierce the arch of the cricoid cartilage or the ligaments of the latter - cricotracheal, cricoid, or capture the 1st ring of the trachea. The assistant pulls the larynx and trachea up with a hook and fixes them in the middle position, the isthmus is retracted downward with a blunt hook.

Before opening the trachea, it is advisable to inject into its lumen with a syringe through the gap between the cartilages 0.25-0.5 ml of a 1-2% dicaine solution to suppress the cough reflex. Cotton wool is wound around the scalpel blade, which delimits the free sharp end 1 cm long, so as not to damage it when cutting the trachea back wall.

The anterior wall of the trachea is dissected by vertical, horizontal, patchwork incisions or a section with a diameter of 10-12 mm is excised in it to form a permanent tracheostomy.

The 2nd and 3rd tracheal rings are crossed with a vertical incision (Fig. 13.6). In this case, a pointed scalpel is pushed into its lumen to a depth of no more than 1 cm above the isthmus of the thyroid gland and advanced from the bottom up, and not vice versa, so as not to damage the gland and its venous plexus. It is not recommended to cross the 1st cartilage of the trachea and the cricotracheal ligament because of the possibility of subsequent development of chondroperichondritis of the larynx.

Signs of opening the lumen of the trachea are a short-term breath holding, a characteristic whistling sound due to the passage of air through a narrow gap, the appearance of a cough, accompanied by the release of mucus and blood. Opening the lumen of the trachea is a critical step in the operation. The mucous membrane of the trachea with its inflammatory and infectious diseases easily exfoliates from the perichondrium, which can create a false

Rice. 13.6.Dissection of the cartilage of the larynx with a vertical incision in the upper tracheostomy. The trachea is fixed with a sharp hook, the isthmus of the thyroid gland is moved downward with a hook

the impression of penetration into the lumen of the trachea, which entails a gross mistake - inserting a tracheotomy tube not into the lumen of the trachea, but between its wall and the exfoliated mucous membrane (Fig. 13.7). This leads to a rapid increase in the phenomena of asphyxia in the patient. In such cases, a sharp hook should be injected into the mucous membrane, pulled up, and cut with a scalpel in a vertical direction.

With a longitudinal section of the soft tissues above the trachea, it is possible

Rice. 13.7.Error when opening the lumen of the trachea - the mucous membrane is not dissected, the tracheotomy tube is inserted between it and the wall of the trachea

opening its lumen with a transverse incision of the anterior wall (longitudinal-transverse tracheostomy according to V.I. Voyachek). The dissection is made between the 2nd and 3rd rings, while the scalpel is injected into the gap between them, consisting of dense fibrous tissue, from the side, with the blade up to a depth that allows you to immediately penetrate the tracheal cavity.

Method of patchwork opening of the lumen of the trachea according to Bjork consists in cutting out a rectangular flap on its front wall on the lower feeding leg, while holding the trachea on both sides with sharp hooks. This flap is turned forward and downward and sutured to the skin at the bottom of the wound.

A tracheostomy for long-term or permanent use is formed by cutting out a hole with a diameter of 10-12 mm in the tracheal wall at the level of the 2nd-4th cartilage (Fig. 13.8). The edges of the hole are sutured to the skin with 4-6 nylon sutures. The edges of the skin, when tightening the sutures with two surgical forceps, are screwed into the lumen of the trachea.

Rice. 13.8.Scheme of cutting a hole on the anterior wall of the trachea for the formation of a permanent tracheostomy:

1 - cricoid cartilage; 2 - thyroid gland; 3 - excised section of the tracheal wall; 4 - isthmus of the thyroid gland

Many methods have been proposed for the formation of a permanent tracheostomy, functioning without a tracheostomy tube with complete removal of the larynx. The generally accepted method is A.I. Kolomiichenko, along which the median incision on the neck is completed by excision of the skin in the form of a racket above the jugular notch of the sternum. At the final stage of the laryngectomy operation, the tracheal stump is sutured into an oval skin defect and a tracheostomy is formed.

An important detail when performing a tracheostomy is the size of the incision in the wall of the trachea. It should correspond to the diameter of the tracheostomy tube. With a cut that is much larger than the diameter of the tube, air penetrates from the trachea into the tissue gaps under the sutures on the wound and subcutaneous emphysema occurs. The introduction of the tube into a narrow incision leads to necrosis of the mucous membrane and sections of the cartilage of the trachea, followed by the development of granulations and its stenosis.

After opening the trachea, a Trousseau dilator is inserted into its lumen, the edges of the wound are parted, and a tracheostomy cannula is inserted under its protection (Fig. 13.9).

The tracheostomy cannula is inserted in three steps. At the first stage, the end of the cannula is inserted from the side, the shield is in a vertical position; at the second stage, the cannula with the end inserted into the trachea is turned 90? clockwise down and rotating in

Rice. 13.9.Scheme for inserting a Trousseau dilator and initial stage introduction of a tracheostomy tube into the lumen of the trachea (from: Grigoriev G.M. et al., 1998)

the sagittal plane is moved into the lumen of the trachea; on the third - the tracheostomy cannula is completely inserted into the tracheal cavity until the shield comes into contact with the skin.

After the introduction of the tracheostomy tube, guide sutures are placed on the upper and lower corners of the wound.

The operation is completed by fixing the tracheostomy tube. To do this, two long gauze ties are threaded into the ears of the shield of the tracheostomy cannula, which form 4 ends. They are tied around the neck in a knot with a bow on the side so that the index finger can fit between the ties and the neck. Under the shield from below, several gauze napkins folded together with an incision in the middle to half, into which the tube lies, are placed. A second napkin folded in several layers is placed under the upper ends of this napkin. Then a gauze bandage is applied above the opening of the tracheostomy tube. After that, an apron made of medical oilcloth with a cutout for the tube is brought directly under the shield so that the discharge from it does not soak the bandage. The apron, with the help of ties attached to its upper ends, is tied to the neck in the same way as a tracheostomy cannula.

Technique for performing a middle tracheostomy. The technique for performing this operation is basically similar to the technique of upper tracheostomy, it includes only one additional step - the intersection of the isthmus of the thyroid gland. After the isthmus is exposed and the ligament between it and the cricoid cartilage is dissected, it is bluntly separated from the trachea. Then two hemostatic clamps are applied to the isthmus and crossed between them. The stump of the isthmus is stitched, tied with catgut and bred to the sides with hooks. The remaining stages of the operation are performed as in the upper tracheostomy.

Technique of the lower tracheostomy. The lower half-rings of the cervical trachea are separated from the skin of the anterior surface of the neck by subcutaneous tissue, superficial and proper fascia of the neck, suprasternal cellular space, sheet of the third fascia, pretracheal cellular space, the trachea itself is covered with a visceral sheet of the fourth fascia.

The position of the patient on the back with a cushion placed under the shoulders and the head thrown back. The surgeon fixes the larynx with the fingers of the left hand. The incision is made strictly along the midline of the neck from the tubercle of the cricoid cartilage to the jugular notch of the sternum. Dissect the skin, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia of the neck, under which

the median vein of the neck may be located. It is isolated from the fiber with a clamp, taken outward or crossed between two ligatures.

The fiber of this space along the midline is bluntly separated with a clamp, while the jugular venous arch is found in the lower part of the wound. With blunt hooks, the fiber is pulled apart, the venous arch is moved downward, after which the third fascia of the neck is exposed.

It is dissected in the middle in the longitudinal direction and somewhat separated on the sides of the incision, which makes it possible to detect the sternohyoid and sternothyroid muscles. With blunt hooks, the muscles are bred to the sides, under them is the parietal sheet of the fourth fascia of the neck.

This sheet is carefully incised or bluntly separated in a small area, peeled off through the incision with a curved clamp and dissected along a grooved probe, the edges of the wound are bred with hooks, after which the pretracheal cellular space is opened.

It is advisable to examine the space with a finger, which will help the surgeon navigate the position of the trachea and timely detect large arteries abnormally located in front of it, feeling their pulsation (Fig. 13.10).

The fiber of the pretracheal space is bluntly separated along the midline to the anterior wall of the trachea and bred to the sides, the meeting vessels are moved aside, protected with blunt hooks, or crossed between ligatures. It is especially necessary to manipulate near the sternum because of the danger of injuring large venous and arterial vessels.

The trachea is bluntly released from the visceral sheet of the fourth fascia of the neck that envelops it. In the upper corner of the wound, the isthmus of the thyroid gland is found, it is separated from the trachea and pulled up with a blunt hook to expose the 4th-5th cartilaginous semirings. Produce a thorough stop bleeding, the wound is dried with gauze napkins.

A sharp single-toothed hook is injected into the anterior wall of the trachea, it is pulled up and towards the surgical wound and fixed in this position. 0.25-0.5 ml of 1% dicaine solution is injected into the lumen of the trachea through a puncture of the wall with a needle.

The isthmus of the thyroid gland is protected with a blunt hook. With the movement of the scalpel from the bottom up, two tracheal rings are cut, usually the 4th and 5th or 5th and 6th. The size of the incision should correspond to the diameter of the tracheostomy tube. In addition to the vertical one, a horizontal (transverse) incision is also made, a patchwork incision according to Bjork, excision of the tissues of the anterior wall of the trachea to create an opening in it.

The edges of the wound of the trachea are diluted with a Trousseau dilator or a curved clamp introduced into it, a tracheostomy cannula is inserted into the hole.

The final stage of the operation is the same as for the upper tracheostomy.

Complications of tracheostomy and their prevention. Complications during tracheostomy often occur when the patient is restless and performs an emergency operation during the onset or onset of clinical death.

If the incision was not made strictly along the midline, then the assistant can grab the trachea along with the soft tissues with a hook, move it to the side, which prevents its detection. The situation in this case can become threatening, especially with an emergency tracheostomy. If the trachea cannot be found within 1 min, and the patient is in a state of complete or almost complete airway obstruction, then the cricoid ligament is immediately dissected together with the cricoid cartilage arch, in some cases the thyroid cartilage is dissected.

After restoring breathing and carrying out the necessary resuscitation measures, a typical tracheostomy is performed, and the dissected parts of the larynx are sutured.

The occurrence of complications during tracheostomy is facilitated by violations of the topographic relationships of the anatomical structures of the neck due to various pathological processes. Violations cause pronounced edema and infiltration of tissues in purulent-inflammatory diseases and injuries of the neck, floor of the mouth, tongue, cancer metastases in the paratracheal lymph nodes, previously undergone surgery on the neck. With asphyxia, numerous veins of the thyroid gland overflow with blood, which significantly increases its volume and aggravates difficulties during tracheostomy. As already mentioned, the abnormal location of large arterial trunks in front of the lower cervical

Rice. 13.10.Variants of the relationship between the cervical part of the trachea and large arteries (from: Zolotko Yu.L., 1964): 1 - common carotid arteries are located on the sides of the trachea; 2 - brachiocephalic trunk partially covers the cervical part of the trachea; 3 - the brachiocephalic trunk is located in front of the trachea; 4 - the left common carotid artery partially closes the trachea; 5 - above the jugular notch of the sternum handle protrudes the aortic arch; 6 - in front of the trachea is the lowest thyroid artery

parts of the trachea creates the possibility of injury and the occurrence of dangerous bleeding.

The most frequent complications of tracheostomy include respiratory arrest after opening the lumen of the trachea, bleeding from the lower thyroid veins, isthmus and the thyroid gland itself in case of accidental injuries. In case of bleeding, the veins are tied up, the bleeding areas of the gland and the isthmus are sheathed with catgut sutures. Possible injuries to the posterior wall of the trachea and esophagus and, as already indicated, detachment of the mucous membrane and the introduction of a tube between it and the tracheal rings (Fig. 13.11 and 13.12).

Rice. 13.11.Scheme of the formation of the valve mechanism in the tracheostomy tube. A torn and collapsed obturator cuff prevents exhalation

Rice. 13.12.Scheme of the mechanism of pressure of the tracheostomy tube on the wall of the trachea

Cases of damage to the dome of the pleura with the occurrence of pneumothorax, erroneous opening of the esophagus instead of the lumen of the trachea, complete rupture of the trachea with a rough insertion of a tracheostomy tube into a hole of insufficient diameter are described. These complications can be avoided by carefully performing the technique of surgical intervention.

13.2. CONYCOTOMY

Conicotomy - dissection of the median cricothyroid (conical) ligament (lig. Cricothyroideum medianum), located between the lower edge of the thyroid and the upper edge of the cricoid cartilage of the larynx.

Between the conical ligament and the skin along the midline of the neck there is a thin layer of subcutaneous tissue and there is an insignificant layer of muscle fibers, there are no large vessels and nerves. The middle laryngeal artery runs along the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage. In order not to damage this artery during the conicotomy operation, a transverse incision of the median cricoid (conical) ligament should be made closer to the cricoid, and not to the thyroid cartilage. Sometimes the middle part of the ligament is perforated by relatively thin cricoid arteries.

To detect the median thyroid-hyoid ligament in men, a protrusion of the thyroid cartilage is felt, the finger is moved down the middle line and the tubercle of the cricoid cartilage is determined,

Rice. 13.13.Scheme for finger detection of the cricoid cartilage and the cricoid ligament:

1 - thyroid cartilage; 2 - cricothyroid ligament; 3 - cricoid cartilage

above which the ligament is located (Fig. 13.13). In women and children, the thyroid cartilage may be less contoured than the cricoid. It is advisable for them, by moving the finger up the midline from the jugular notch of the sternum, to initially detect the cricoid cartilage, and above it, the median cricoid ligament.

Indications.Conicotomy is performed for sudden asphyxia when there is no time to perform a typical tracheostomy or intubation.

Advantageconicotomy before tracheostomy lies in the speed (within a few tens of seconds) of execution, technical simplicity and safety. With conicotomy, the possibility of damage to the main vessels, pharynx, and esophagus is excluded, since the back wall of the larynx at the level of the incision is formed by a dense plate of the cricoid cartilage. The vocal folds are located above the cricothyroid membrane, so they are not damaged when it is cut.

Flawsconicotomy. The presence of a cannula in the lumen of the larynx can lead to the rapid development of chondroperichondritis of its cartilage, followed by persistent stenosis. Therefore, after the restoration of breathing, a typical tracheostomy is performed and the cannula is moved into the tracheostomy.

Rice. 13.14.Scheme of performing puncture conicotomy (from: Popova T.G., Grebennikov V.A., 2001)

Patient position: on the back, a roller 10-15 cm high is placed under the shoulder blades, the head is thrown back. If possible, the surgical field is processed and infiltration anesthesia is performed.

Operation technique. The doctor, standing to the right of the patient, index finger left hand gropes for the tubercle of the cricoid cartilage and the depression between it and the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage, corresponding to the location of the conical ligament. The thyroid cartilage is fixed with the thumb and middle fingers of the left hand, pulling the skin over the cartilages of the larynx and displacing posteriorly the sternocleidomastoid muscles with the cervical vascular bundles located below them, the second finger is located between the cricoid arch and the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage. A scalpel is used to make a horizontal transverse incision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the neck about 2 cm long at the level of the upper edge of the cricoid cartilage. The second finger is inserted into the incision so that the tip of the nail phalanx rests against the membrane. On the nail, touching it with the plane of the scalpel, perforate the ligament and open the lumen of the larynx. The edges of the wound are diluted with a Trousseau dilator or a hemostatic forceps, a cannula of a suitable diameter is inserted through the hole into the larynx.

Stopping bleeding is usually not required, and manipulation usually takes 15-30 seconds. The tube inserted into the lumen of the trachea is fixed to the neck.

In primitive conditions, in an emergency, a penknife can be used to cut tissue. To expand the wound after dissection of the conical ligament, a flat object of a suitable size is inserted into it and turned across the wound, increasing the hole for air to pass through. As a cannula, you can use a cylinder from a fountain pen, a piece of rubber tube, etc.

Puncture conicotomy (Figure 13.14). A typical conicotomy in children is dangerous due to the high likelihood of damage to the cartilage of the larynx. Damaged cartilage lags behind in development, which leads to narrowing of the airways. Therefore, in patients under the age of 8 years, a puncture (with a needle) conicotomy is performed. When using a needle, the integrity of only the conical ligament is violated.

Patient position: on the back with a cushion placed under the shoulders and the head thrown back.

Operation technique. The larynx is fixed with the thumb and middle finger on the lateral surfaces of the thyroid cartilage, with the index finger

define the thyroid ligament. A needle with a wide lumen is inserted into the membrane strictly along the midline until a "failure" is felt. This indicates that the end of the needle is in the cavity of the larynx. The needle is fixed with a strip of adhesive tape. Multiple needles can be inserted in succession to increase respiratory flow. Microconicostomy is performed in a few seconds.

Currently, special conicotomy kits are produced, which consist of a razor-sting for cutting the skin, a trocar for inserting a special cannula into the larynx, and the cannula itself, put on the trocar.

13.3. OPERATIONS FOR PURULENT PROCESSES

ON THE NECK

13.3.1. Characteristics of phlegmon of the neck and ways of spreading purulent streaks

Abscesses and phlegmon of the neck are divided into superficial and deep. Superficial phlegmons arise, as a rule, as a result of penetration into the subcutaneous fat layer of the neck of the infection through the skin when it is damaged, boils, carbuncles.

Deep phlegmon of the anterior neck most often develop in the cellular space of the neurovascular bundle, cellular spaces around the trachea and esophagus, prevertebral cellular space. Most often they occur as a complication of phlegmon of the floor of the mouth and peripharyngeal space, as well as pharyngeal abscess, suppuration of neck cysts, injuries of the cervical esophagus and trachea, purulent inflammation neck lymph nodes.

Surgical treatment of deep phlegmons of the neck should include the opening of the primary abscess and purulent streaks spreading through the cervical cellular-fascial spaces. Pus from the bottom of the oral cavity penetrates into the neurovascular bundle of the neck through the tissue surrounding the lingual vein and artery, from the submandibular region through the facial vein and artery. This spread is also possible through the lymphatic vessels connecting the submandibular lymph nodes with the upper group of deep cervical nodes. Through the cellular space of the neurovascular bundle of the neck, the infection penetrates into the anterior mediastinum; if it breaks down

vascular vagina, the inflammatory process also spreads to the tissue of the supraclavicular fossa.

The second way for the spread of pus to the neck with diffuse phlegmon of the floor of the mouth and the root of the tongue occurs when a deep sheet of the own fascia of the neck melts, in this case the purulent exudate overcomes the barrier in the hyoid bone and enters the pretracheal tissue of the neck between the parietal and visceral sheets of the fourth fascia. Through the gap between the trachea and the fascial case of the neurovascular bundle of the neck, the previsceral cellular space, pus descends down into the anterior mediastinum.

From the peripharyngeal space (posterior section), the inflammatory process spreads to the neck and to the anterior mediastinum, also along the course of the neurovascular bundle. The breakthrough of pus from the pharyngeal abscess leads to the development of phlegmon of the retrovisceral cellular space, from which the inflammatory process along the esophagus quickly spreads to the posterior mediastinum.

13.3.2. Operation technique for abscesses and phlegmon of the neck

Surgical treatment of superficial abscesses and phlegmon is usually carried out under local anesthesia. Skin incisions to open the phlegmon of the subcutaneous cellular spaces of the neck are made over the abscess along the cervical folds and large vessels and continue to its lower border. After dissection of the skin, the tissues are bluntly separated with a clamp, the abscess is opened. Its cavity is examined with a finger to separate the fascial septa and detect possible leakage of pus into neighboring areas; in the latter case, additional incisions are made. The wound is washed with antiseptic solutions, drained with rubber tubes or rubber gauze swabs.

The operation of opening a deep phlegmon of the neck is performed under general anesthesia. If breathing is disturbed, a tracheostomy is applied to implement anesthesia and prevent asphyxia in the postoperative period.

Patient position: on the back, a roller is placed under the shoulders, the head is thrown back and turned in the direction opposite to the side of the operation.

Operation technique (Figure 13.15). When performing the operation, it is necessary to separate the tissues in layers, spread the edges of the wound wide with hooks, and ensure thorough hemostasis. It matters for

Rice. 13.15.Incisions for opening and draining superficial abscesses of the neck (from: Ostroverkhov G.E., 1964)

prevention of accidental damage to large vessels and nerves, a detailed examination of the cellular spaces in order to identify additional pus streaks.

Surgical intervention in purulent-inflammatory processes of an odontogenic nature begins with the opening of the phlegmon of the floor of the oral cavity, the peripharyngeal space through incisions in the submandibular triangles, the submental region or through a collar-like incision.

The skin incision is then made along the inner edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, starting above the angle of the mandible and continuing to the jugular notch of the sternum. The length of the incision may be shorter if the abscess does not extend into the lower neck.

Dissect the skin, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia and superficial muscle. In the upper corner of the wound, the external jugular vein is found, it must be displaced laterally or crossed between two ligatures. The outer sheet of the fascial sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is dissected, its inner edge is cut off, and it is pulled outward with a blunt hook (Figure 13.16).

A deep sheet of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is carefully incised, peeled off from the underlying tissues with a grooved probe and dissected along it. For orientation in the topographic relationships in the wound, it is advisable to feel the pulsation of the common carotid artery with your finger at its bottom and determine the position of the vascular bundle of the neck. The fascia and tissue above it are stratified with a hemostatic clamp, the bundle is exposed.

When the streak spreads along the beam, pus is released at this moment. Next, the fiber with purulent-necrotic changes is bluntly stratified to healthy tissues, the purulent cavity is examined with a finger to detect possible streaks that are widely opened. Visually and by palpation examine the internal jugular and facial veins. If thrombi are found in them, then the vessels are tied up above and below the boundaries of the thrombus sites and excised.

If it is necessary to open abscesses in the pre- and behind-visceral spaces in the lower half of the wound, the scapular-hyoid muscle is found and crossed, which runs in the direction from back to front and from bottom to top. Crossing the muscle facilitates access to the trachea and esophagus. The common carotid artery and trachea are first felt for, then the fiber between them is stratified, the neurovascular bundle is retracted with a blunt hook outward.

In front of the trachea below the thyroid gland, an abscess is opened in the pretracheal cellular space with a clamp or a finger. Continuing to pull the vascular bundle outward, the assistant displaces the trachea with a blunt hook in the medial direction. Between the bundle and the esophagus, the tissues are stratified in the direction

Rice. 13.16.Scheme of the cut for opening deep phlegmon neck, dissection of the outer leaf of the fascial sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle

to the cervical vertebrae to the prevertebral fascia and open an abscess in the lateral part of the periesophageal cellular space. Near the esophagus is the common carotid artery: 1-1.5 cm to the right, 0.5 cm to the left of its walls. Behind the common carotid artery and internal jugular vein the lower thyroid artery and veins pass, which at the level of the VI cervical vertebra make an arc and go to the lower pole of the thyroid gland. To prevent injury to these vessels, tissues in the circumference of the esophagus are separated only in a blunt way. After pulling the esophagus in the medial direction, between it and the prevertebral fascia, an abscess is opened with a clamp in the tissue of the posterior visceral space.

With purulent leakage in the supraclavicular region and supraclavicular interaponeurotic space, along with the vertical one, a second wide horizontal incision of the tissues above the clavicle is made. Horizontal incisions in the submandibular triangle and above the clavicle, combined with a vertical one, form a Z-shaped wound. With putrefactive-necrotic phlegmon, skin-fat flaps at the corners of the wound are cut off, turned away and fixed with a suture to the skin of the neck. The wide exposure of inflamed tissues creates conditions for their aeration, ultraviolet irradiation, washing with antiseptic solutions. The operation ends with the washing of purulent cavities and their drainage. It is dangerous to bring tubular drains to the vascular bundle because of the possibility of a decubitus ulcer of the vessel wall and arrosive bleeding.

With common phlegmon, surgical interventions are performed on both sides of the neck.

13.3.3. Cervical mediastinotomy

The technique of opening the mediastinum in its upper section through the cervical access was proposed in 1889 by V.I. Razumovsky.

Indications.The presence of clinical and radiological signs of mediastinitis in odontogenic inflammatory processes, the detection of purulent leakage into the mediastinum when opening a deep phlegmon of the neck are indications for mediastinotomy.

Anesthesia:intubation anesthesia, if intubation through the mouth is impossible, it is performed through a tracheostomy.

Patient position: on the back, a roller is placed under the shoulders, the head is thrown back and turned in the direction opposite to the side of the operation.

Operation technique. The skin incision is carried out in the projection of the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle from the level of the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage and 2-3 cm below the sternocleidomastoid joint. After dissection of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and subcutaneous muscle, the outer sheet of the fascial sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is dissected, which is mobilized and retracted laterally. Next, the inner leaf of the fascial sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is dissected and the upper belly of the scapular-hyoid muscle is cut. The fascia and tissue of the neurovascular bundle of the neck are stratified, the bundle is exposed, in the presence of a deep phlegmon of the neck, a purulent focus is opened.

The neurovascular bundle of the neck is pulled outward, the finger is moved along the lateral and anterior surfaces of the trachea down into chest cavity and open an abscess in the tissue of the anterior mediastinum. By moving a finger along the walls of the esophagus, the tissue of the posterior mediastinum is opened.

A cervical mediastinotomy can be performed through a transverse tissue incision just above the manubrium of the sternum. The finger is inserted through the wound into the anterior mediastinum between the sternum and the anterior surface of the trachea, the abscess is opened, tubular drains are introduced into it.

13.4. EXPOSING AND LIDDING THE BLOOD VESSELS OF THE NECK

13.4.1. Indications for ligation of neck vessels

An indication for ligation of the blood vessels of the neck is the need to stop bleeding from wounds of the maxillofacial region and neck in case of mechanical damage to both the arteries and veins themselves, and their large branches, or a purulent inflammatory process that has arisen due to erosion of the vessel wall by a tumor.

The internal and common carotid arteries are ligated when they are injured near the bifurcation if it is impossible to apply a vascular suture, surgical treatment of their aneurysms, removal of the chemodectoma if it cannot be separated from the arterial wall.

Ligation of the internal jugular vein is indicated when a septic thrombus forms in it to prevent its spread into

the cranial cavity, metastasis to the lungs and other internal organs. She is bandaged and excised during Crile's operation.

13.4.2. Ligation of the facial artery

The shortest distance between the skin and the facial artery is determined at the site of its passage near the lower edge and outer surface bodies of the lower jaw, which the artery crosses from the outside in the direction from the bottom up at the anterior edge of the masticatory muscle. In this anatomical zone, a finger is pressed and the facial artery is ligated. The facial artery is accompanied by the facial vein, located posterior to it.

Operation technique. A skin incision 5 cm long is made in the submandibular region parallel to the base of the lower jaw and retreating 2 cm down from it. The beginning of the incision is 1 cm anterior to the angle of the mandible. The skin, subcutaneous fatty tissue, superficial fascia of the neck, subcutaneous muscle, second cervical fascia are dissected, which in this area forms the surface sheet of the capsule of the submandibular salivary gland. The dissected tissues are separated and pulled up along with the marginal branch of the facial nerve passing in this layer. Under the lower edge of the body of the lower jaw in the projection of the anterior edge of the masticatory muscle itself, the facial artery is isolated and ligated.

13.4.3. Ligation of the lingual artery

The lingual artery is ligated in Pirogov's triangle. It is a small section of the region of the submandibular triangle, bounded from above by the hypoglossal nerve and the lingual vein located parallel to it, from below by the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle, in front by the free posterior edge of the maxillohyoid muscle. The bottom of the triangle forms the hyoid-lingual muscle, inside of which the lingual artery is located.

Patient position: on the back, a roller is placed under the shoulders, the head is thrown back and maximally deflected in the opposite direction. In this position, the Pirogov triangle is best revealed.

Operation technique. Under infiltration anesthesia, a 6 cm long incision is made in the submandibular region parallel to the lower edge of the lower jaw and retreating from it down by 2-3 cm. Beginning

incision 1 cm anterior to the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The skin with subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia and subcutaneous muscle of the neck are dissected in layers. Then, a sheet of the second fascia is cut along the grooved probe, forming the outer part of the capsule of the submandibular salivary gland, which is released from the capsule and pulled upward with a hook. The inner leaf of the capsule is bluntly separated, and the surgeon orients himself in the location of Pirogov's triangle. The fascial cover is stratified and the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle, the anterior edge of the maxillohyoid muscle and the hypoglossal nerve are isolated. The tendon of the digastric muscle is pulled downward, and the hypoglossal nerve upward. Within the triangle, the fibers are bluntly severed hyoid-lingual muscle and find the lingual artery. The artery is isolated, a Deschamps needle with a ligature is brought under it from the nerve in the direction from top to bottom and it is tied up. The stratification of the fibers of the hyoid-lingual muscle must be done carefully, since the muscle is thin, adjacent to the middle constrictor of the pharynx, and with a gross intervention, it is possible to open the lumen of the latter.

13.4.4. Exposure of the neurovascular bundle of the neck

Indications.The exposure of the neurovascular bundle of the neck is a common stage in the operations of ligation of the common, internal, external carotid arteries and the internal jugular vein.

Operation technique. The incision is made along the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle from the level of the angle of the lower jaw to the level of the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage or to the sternoclavicular joint. The skin, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia, subcutaneous muscle of the neck are dissected in layers. In the upper corner of the wound, the external jugular vein is retracted laterally or ligated and transected. The anterior leaf of the fascial sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is dissected along the grooved probe, which is isolated from its sheath with a blunt instrument (clamp, closed Cooper scissors) and pushed outward with a blunt hook. In the lower corner of the wound, the scapular-hyoid muscle becomes visible, forming an angle with the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The bisector of the angle usually corresponds to the course of the common carotid artery. Through the inner sheet of the fascial sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, its pulsation is determined with a finger, a bluish inner is usually translucent from the artery.

jugular vein. Along the wound along the grooved probe, carefully, so as not to damage the vein, the posterior leaf of the sheath of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is dissected, the fiber and fascia of the neurovascular bundle are bluntly stratified, the tissues are bred with hooks, after which the vessels and nerves that form it become visible.

13.4.5. Ligation of the common and internal carotid arteries

Operation technique. After exposure of the neurovascular bundle of the neck, the facial vein is isolated, which crosses the initial sections of the external and internal carotid arteries in the direction from the top from the inside down and outwards, shifts it upwards or ties it up and crosses it. The descending branch of the hypoglossal nerve (upper root of the cervical loop) located on the anterior wall of the common carotid artery is retracted in the medial direction. The artery is bluntly separated from the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve, which is located between these vessels and somewhat posteriorly. Further, the common carotid artery is isolated from all sides, a Deschamps needle with a ligature is brought under it in the direction from the internal jugular vein, tied 1-1.5 cm below the bifurcation or the wound site.

The internal carotid artery is located laterally from the external carotid artery, does not give off branches on the neck, is isolated and ligated by similar techniques.

13.4.6. Ligation of the external carotid artery

Operation technique. After exposure of the neurovascular bundle of the neck, the facial vein and its branches are isolated, bandaged or displaced downward. Expose the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and initial departments external and internal carotid arteries. Ahead of them in the oblique direction is the hypoglossal nerve, which is displaced downward. Next, the external carotid artery is identified. Its distinguishing features are the location medial and anterior to the internal one, the absence of the descending branch of the hypoglossal nerve on it (it runs along the anterior surface of the internal carotid artery), the cessation of pulsation of the superficial temporal and facial arteries or bleeding from the wound after temporary clamping of its trunk. The external carotid artery, unlike the internal one, has branches on the neck that are found when it is mobilized. The first vessel departing from the external carotid artery is the superior thyroid artery, above it the lingual artery is separated.

The external carotid artery is bluntly separated from the internal carotid artery, the jugular vein and the vagus nerve, under it, from the side of the internal jugular vein, a Deschamps needle with a ligature is brought in from the outside. The artery is ligated in the area between the origin of the lingual and superior thyroid arteries. The ligation between the superior thyroid artery and the bifurcation of the common carotid artery may be complicated by the formation of a thrombus in the short stump of the vessel with its subsequent spread into the lumen of the internal carotid artery.

The external carotid artery is crossed in case of inflammation in the area of ​​the neurovascular bundle and metastases malignant tumors into the lymph nodes of the neck to prevent ligature eruption. At the same time, two piercing ligatures are applied to each segment of the artery.

13.4.7. Ligation of the internal jugular vein

Operation technique. After exposure of the neurovascular bundle of the neck, the scapular-hyoid muscle is pulled downward or crossed if it interferes with the further course of the operation.

The internal jugular vein is separated and bluntly separated from the carotid artery and vagus nerve. The Deschamps needle is inserted under the vein from the side of the artery. The vein is tied up with two ligatures above and below the boundaries of the spread of the thrombus or the site of its resection, while the facial vein is tied up and excised. A purulent thrombus is removed from the lumen of the vein after dissection of its wall, in this case, the postoperative wound is drained, sutures are not applied.

13.5. OPERATIONS ON THE CERVICAL ESOPHAGUS

The operation includes prompt access to the cervical esophagus, then, depending on the nature of the damage, various techniques are performed on it: dissection (esophagotomy) and suture of the esophagus, imposition of an esophageal fistula (esophagostomy), drainage of the periesophageal cellular space ..

It is more convenient to perform surgery on the left side of the neck, since the cervical esophagus deviates to the left of the midline.

Patient position: on the back, a roller is placed under the shoulders, the head is thrown back and turned to the right.

Operation technique. The surgeon becomes to the left of the patient. The incision is made along the inner edge of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle from the level of the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage to the notch of the sternum. Dissect the skin with subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia and subcutaneous muscle of the neck. Under the muscle bandage and cross the external jugular vein and the branches of the anterior jugular vein. The anterior wall of the vagina of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is opened, which is separated from the fascia and displaced outwards. Then, the posterior wall of the muscle sheath, the third fascia, the parietal sheet of the fourth fascia are dissected in the longitudinal direction, while the dissection line is located medially from the common carotid artery. Also cross the upper abdomen of the scapular-hyoid muscle. The neurovascular bundle, together with the lower stump of the muscle, is carefully moved outwards. The left lobe of the thyroid gland, together with the trachea and the muscles lying in front of it (sternohyoid and sternothyroid), is pulled medially with a blunt hook. Between the trachea and the neurovascular bundle stupidly stratified soft tissues towards the cervical vertebrae.

The prevertebral fascia opens with the inferior thyroid artery passing first under it and then above it. The latter is isolated, tied with two ligatures and crossed between them. Next, a sheet of the fourth fascia is bluntly separated at the left edge of the trachea, and the tissue of the tracheoesophageal sulcus (sulcus tracheooesophageus) is exposed, in which the left recurrent nerve passes. Trying not to damage it, with care, the fiber, together with the nerve and the left lobe of the thyroid gland, is pushed up and medially. Between the trachea and the spine, the esophagus is found, which is recognized by the longitudinally running muscle fibers and brownish-red color.

On the wall of the esophagus, without piercing the mucous membrane, a ligature-holder is applied, with its help the esophagus is slightly pulled into the wound. The posterior wall of the esophagus is exfoliated from the prevertebral fascia, the anterior - from the trachea. A rubber catheter is placed under the esophagus, at the ends of which the esophagus is displaced into the wound to perform the necessary surgical procedures on it. Before removal of a foreign body in the area of ​​its location, two ligatures are applied to the esophagus, without capturing the mucous membrane, its wall is cut between them in the longitudinal direction in layers - first the muscle layer, then the mucous membrane.

After removal of the foreign body, the wound of the esophagus is also sutured in layers. Before suturing the wound, a sterile gastric tube is inserted through the nasal passage to feed the patient.

13.6. SURGERY FOR METASTASIS OF MALIGNANT TUMORS IN THE LYMPH NODES OF THE NECK

Metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck occur with malignant tumors of the oral cavity and maxillofacial region, ENT organs, cervical esophagus, thyroid gland; tumors metastasize to the lower group of deep cervical lymph nodes gastrointestinal tract and lungs.

4 types of operations have been developed for the treatment and prevention of metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck: Vanach operation (upper cervical excision according to the first variant), upper fascial-case excision of the cervical tissue (upper cervical excision according to the second variant), fascial-case excision of the cervical tissue, Crile's operation .

The Vanakh operation is named after the author, Russian doctor R.Kh. Vanakh, who first described it in 1911. The purpose of the operation is to remove the submandibular salivary glands, lymph nodes with tissue in the submandibular and submental areas.

When performing the upper case-fascial excision of the cervical tissue, the lymph nodes of the submandibular and mental triangles, the submandibular salivary gland, as well as the upper deep cervical lymph nodes are removed from the bifurcation level of the common carotid artery, including those located along the accessory nerve.

Sheath-fascial excision of the cervical tissue consists in the removal of all superficial and deep lymph nodes on this half of the neck, together with the surrounding tissue and submandibular salivary gland. This type of operation is used most often.

Crile's operation is named after the author (G. Cril), who first described it in 1906. Crile's operation differs from fascial-case excision of cervical tissue in that, together with all superficial and deep lymph nodes, tissue,

submandibular salivary gland on half of the neck, the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the internal jugular vein are removed. In this case, the additional, large ear, small occipital nerves are inevitably damaged. The trapezius muscle subsequently ceases to function. The operation is performed simultaneously on only one side of the neck.

13.7. THYROID OPERATIONS

Indications.Surgical interventions on the thyroid gland are performed with thyrotoxic nodular or diffuse goiter, which is not amenable to conservative treatment, euthyroid nodular goiter, which increases against the background of conservative therapy, causing compression of the neck organs and its cosmetic deformity, benign and malignant tumors. In some cases, operations are performed for autoimmune thyroiditis and Riedel's fibrous thyroiditis.

Depending on the volume of tissues to be removed, the glands are distinguished: economical resection - removal of the node with adjacent tissues; subtotal resection - almost complete removal of the gland, leaving 3-6 g of its tissues in each lobe; hemithyroidectomy (lobectomy) - removal of a lobe of the gland; hemithyroidectomy with removal of the isthmus; thyroidectomy - complete removal of the thyroid gland with a common malignant tumor.

13.7.1. Subtotal resection of the thyroid gland

Most often, subtotal subfascial resection of the thyroid gland according to O.V. Nikolaev.

Operation technique. A collar-shaped incision of the skin with subcutaneous tissue is carried out from the medial edge of one sternocleidomastoid muscle to the medial edge of the other 1.5 cm above the jugular notch of the sternum. Dissect the superficial fascia with the subcutaneous muscle of the neck. The edges of the incision are pulled up and down, the superficial jugular veins located between the first and second fascia are captured and crossed between two clamps. A novocaine solution is injected under the second and third fascia to facilitate the next step - separation and dissection of the fascia.

Then the sternohyoid, sternothyroid and scapular-hyoid muscles covering the thyroid gland are exposed.

front. Using a Kocher clamp, the medially located sternohyoid muscles are bluntly separated from the rest of the muscles, captured by two clamps applied in the transverse direction, and dissected between them.

Novocaine solution is injected under the parietal sheet of the fourth fascia on both sides of the midline so that it spreads under the fascial capsule of the thyroid gland and blocks the nerves approaching the gland. This facilitates the next stage of the operation - the selection of the right lobe of the gland and its dislocation into the wound. To do this, the edges of the sternothyroid muscles are bred, the parietal sheet of the fourth fascia is vertically dissected along the midline, and the parietal sheet of the fascia of the gland is bluntly (partly with a tool, partly with a finger) peeled off from the visceral. Then the surgeon dislocates a lobe of the gland into the wound with a finger. Next, the visceral sheet of the fourth fascia surrounding the gland is incised, it exfoliates from its own capsule from front to back within the boundaries of the lobe resection zone, while its upper and lower poles are released. In the process of preparation, they are captured with clamps and cross the vessels passing between the outer fascial and inner own shell of the gland.

The isthmus is crossed, the bleeding vessels are seized with clamps. Then, a partial phased cutting off of the lobe of the gland is performed, starting from the trachea in the lateral direction, while the lobe is fixed with a finger. The gland tissue, together with its own capsule, is sequentially captured in small portions with clamps and cut off. If the patient is operated on under local anesthesia, then after each seizure of the parenchyma of the gland, voice control of the state of the recurrent nerve is performed. A change in the timbre of the voice indicates irritation of the nerve and the need to reduce the volume of trapped tissues.

The dissected parts of the outer capsule of the gland are sutured, thereby closing the stump of the right lobe. Then, the left lobe of the gland is resected by similar methods.

The stumps of the lobes of the gland are covered with sternothyroid muscles, the roller is removed from under the patient's shoulders, the sternohyoid muscles are sutured with mattress sutures. The wound cavity is again washed, drains from a strip of rubber are brought to the stumps of the gland, sutures are applied to the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Complications during surgery: bleeding, removal of the parathyroid glands, damage to the recurrent nerve, air embolism due to transection of veins without prior ligation.

Prevention of complications lies in the thoroughness of the implementation of surgical techniques

13.7.2. Endoscopic surgery on the thyroid gland

Endoscopic or endovideoscopic operations on the thyroid gland are interventions performed through a skin incision or trocar with endosurgery instruments under visual control through an optical system. During the operation, the image of the anatomical structures is displayed on the monitor using a video camera.

Operation technique. To perform the operation, the so-called mini-access is usually used, in which the length of the skin incision is 2-5 cm. When it is performed, the superficial veins of the neck, sternohyoid muscles do not cross, which prevents the development of pronounced tissue edema after the operation and the formation of a rough scar. The observation system provides an optical increase in the operating field and facilitates the surgeon's orientation in the topographic relationships of anatomical structures. Endosurgical instruments with a diameter of 2 to 12 mm allow you to perform all surgical techniques inherent in traditional surgical techniques. The capture of the organ is carried out with a clamp, the separation of tissues - with a dissector, the dissection of tissues - with endoscopic scissors or electrosurgical method. Before crossing, the vessels are tied with ligatures or titanium clips are applied to them, they are stitched with staples with an endoscopic stapler, and electro-, laser-, ultrasonic coagulation is used. The advantages of endoscopic operations over traditional ones are to reduce the intensity of pain in the postoperative period, reduce the number of complications, reduce the duration of inpatient treatment, and form an inconspicuous skin scar.

Do not operate on animals with elevated temperature, it is also not recommended to carry it out in the presence of infectious diseases, in malnourished animals. If the operation is not carried out urgently, then before it the animal is reduced to feed and, if possible, then a starvation diet is prescribed for no more than 12 hours.

    When performing an operation under anesthesia, it should be borne in mind that some drugs, such as rometar, in the second half of pregnancy can cause fetal death.

    animal operation carotid artery

    With a favorable outcome in these cases, surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, since it has been established that it does not affect the development of the fetus.

    Before the operation, the animals are walked in order to free the large intestine, clean or partially anesthetize.

    3. Private preparation of the animal for surgery

    Processing of the surgical field includes four main points: removal of hair, mechanical cleaning with degreasing, disinfection (asepticization) of the surface with tanning and isolation from surrounding areas of the body.

    The hairline is trimmed or shaved. The latter has a great advantage, since skin asepticization can be done with greater care. It is most convenient to use a regular safety razor with a broken blade. Such processing is easier to carry out already on a fixed animal.

    During mechanical cleaning and degreasing, the surgical field is wiped with a swab or a napkin moistened with a 0.5% solution of ammonia or alcohol-ether (equally), it is possible with clean gasoline, only after a dry shave. There are many ways of asepticization and tanning of the surgical field.

    So, according to the Filonchikov method, tanning is carried out by double treatment of the surgical field with a 5% alcohol solution of iodine, and the interval between treatments should be at least 3 minutes.

    According to the method of Borchers - double treatment with a 5% alcohol solution of formalin. This method is best used on skin with increased sweating.

    According to Lepsha, the operating field is treated three times with 5% aqueous solution potassium permanganate (for dermatitis), and according to the Bokkal method - with a 1% alcohol solution of brilliant green. Skin can be aseptic and tanned with a solution of Altin, 1% solution of degmin or 3% degmicide.

    An effective remedy for these purposes is a 1-3 solution of surfactant antiseptics patanol and atony.

    The processing of the surgical field with a solution of furatsilina is as follows, mechanical cleaning and degreasing of the skin is carried out with an aqueous solution of furatsilin at a dilution of 1: 5000, asepsis and tanning - with an alcohol solution of furatsilin at a concentration of 1: 5000 - 500.0

    Recipe: Solutionis Furacilini spirituosae 1: 5000 - 300.0

    Miss. Da. signa. External. For disinfection and tanning of the skin of the surgical field.

    When processing the surgical field, the skin surface is wiped and lubricated in a certain order - from the central part to the periphery. The exception is the presence of an open purulent focus. In this case, they process from the periphery to the center.

    Modern antiseptics for the preparation of the surgical field: Septocid K-1 (colored, used for pigmented skin areas); septocid k-2 (not colored); assipur (contains iodine); altin (1% alcohol solution. Disadvantage - slippery field after processing); aseptol (2% solution. The field is treated for 3 minutes); iodonate (1% solution. Process the field twice).

    4. Preparation of the surgeon's hands, instruments, suture and dressing material

    There are three main methods of modern hand preparation for surgery:

    a) mechanical cleaning;

    b) chemical asepticization;

    c) leather tanning.

    Mechanical cleaning consists in cutting nails, processing burrs. All unnecessary items are removed from the hands, the sleeves are bitten no lower than to the elbow. Hands are washed in soapy water alkaline solutions or in 0.5% ammonia solution. Hands are washed with a brush or in several trays in succession.

    Wash until the water runs clear. Then the hands are dried with a coarse sterile towel.

    Chemical asepticization - hands are treated from fingertips to elbows with a cotton-gauze swab, smeared with an antiseptic.

    Tanning is achieved by treating the hands with alcohols or alums. There is a compaction of the upper layers of the skin and the excretory ducts of the glands are closed. Additionally, fingertips and nails are treated with a 5% alcohol solution of iodine. Most antiseptics at the same time.

    Alfeld method. Wash your hands first with soap warm water, brush, wipe with a towel and then wipe the hands for 3-5 minutes with a cotton-gauze swab moistened with 96 0 alcohol.

    Additionally, the fingertips are treated with a 55% alcohol solution of iodine.

    Method of Spasolukotsky - Kochergin. Hands are washed for 3-5 minutes in a 0.5% solution of ammonia, then wiped with a towel and disinfected and tanned with 70-96 0 alcohol. Fingertips - alcohol solution of iodine 5%.

    Oliveov's method. Hands are washed for 5-10 minutes in a 0.5% solution of ammonia, then wiped and wiped twice with a cotton-gauze swab moistened with iodized alcohol (1: 1000).

    If the hands are conditionally clean, then iodized alcohol is used at a concentration of 1: 3000. Fingertips are not processed.

    Kiyanov's method. Hands are washed for 5 minutes in a 0.5% solution of ammonia, wiped and treated for 3 minutes. Under a fluid jet with a 3% solution of zinc sulfate. The fingertips are treated with a 5% alcohol solution of iodine.

    The method of solutions of furacilin. Hands are washed with soap, wiped and treated with a swab moistened with an iodine solution of furatsilina (1: 5000) and then treated with a swab moistened with an alcohol solution of furatsilina (1: 1500). The fingertips are treated with a 5% alcohol solution of iodine.

    Modern antiseptics for hands.

    Chlorhexidine bigluconate (gibitan) is available as a 20% concentrate. Before use, it is diluted with 70 0 alcohol to a concentration of 0.5-1%.

    Hibisent (the active principle of gibitans).

    Plivasept (the active principle of gibitan) is used 5%. The fingertips are not treated with an alcohol solution of iodine, since their combination with iodine causes irritation.

    Also used is a 1% solution of Demin, a 3% solution of degmicide, a 1-3% solution of Novosept, atony tincture (sterility lasts up to 120 minutes), Rokkal 0.1-0.3%, tserigel (with drying, a protective film is formed that can be removed with ethyl alcohol), a polyalcoholic hand antiseptic, pervomur streptocide (active ingredient H 2 O 2 + formic acid), 0.25-0.5% solution of chloramine B. Hands can be treated with ultrasound, passing it through an antiseptic liquid for 30 seconds.

    During this operation, the following method of processing hands is used: hands are washed in a 0.5% solution of ammonia, wiped with a rough towel. Then, within 5 minutes, they are treated twice with a poly-alcoholic antiseptic for hands using a cotton-gauze swab.

    Tool preparation

    When ligating the common carotid artery, the following instruments are used: scalpel, tweezers, wound hooks: sharp and blunt, simple and automatic, button probes, hemostatic, surgical spoons, curettes, hemostatic clamp, surgical needles, needle holder.

    Still needed cotton-gauze swabs.

    All metal instruments are sterilized in water with the addition of alkalis: 1% sodium carbonate, 3% sodium tetracarbonate (borax), 0.1% sodium hydroxide.

    Alkalis increase the effect of sterilization, precipitate salts present in ordinary water, and prevent corrosion and discoloration of instruments. Before boiling, the tools are cleaned of the lubricant covering them, large and complex tools are disassembled.

    The liquid is boiled in special metal vessels - simple and electronic sterilizers. Sterilizers have a volume lattice. The grate is removed with special hooks and instruments are placed on it, which are then lowered into the sterilizer after boiling the liquid for 3 minutes. During this period, the water is freed from the oxygen dissolved in it and neutralized with alkali. After boiling, the grate with instruments is removed from the sterilizer and the instruments are transferred to the instrument table. If the instruments need to be prepared in advance, then after sterilization they are wiped with sterile swabs, wrapped in 2-3 layers of a sterile sheet or towel, and then in a film; store and transport instruments in the sterilizer.

    Other methods of sterilization are used depending on the circumstances and the type of instruments. In emergency cases, metal instruments can be flambéed; they are placed in a basin, doused with alcohol and burned. However, cutting and stabbing tools become blunt and lose their luster from firing.

    If there are no conditions for sterilization by boiling, the instruments are sterilized chemically, dipping them for a certain time in an antiseptic solution: in an alcohol solution of furacilin at a concentration of 1: 500 for 30 minutes.

    You can lower the instruments for 15 minutes. in Karepnikov's liquid: 20 g of formalin, 3 g of carboxylic acid, 15 g of sodium carbonate and 1000 ml of distilled water or in a 5% formalin alcoholic solution, 1% brilliant green alcoholic solution.

    Suture preparation

    The suture material must have a smooth, even surface, be elastic, sufficiently extensible and biologically compatible with living tissues, while having minimal reactogenicity and having an allergenic effect on the body.

    Before sterilization, they are loosely wound on glass rods or glasses with polished edges, and then boiled for up to 30 minutes with the lid ajar so that the water temperature does not exceed 100 0 C, otherwise the threads will break. You can also use cotton and linen threads. They are sterilized according to the Sadovsky method: the threads in the skeins are washed in hot water with soap, then rinsed thoroughly, wound on glass slides and dipped for 15 minutes in 1.5% ammonia, then for 15 minutes in a 2% solution formalin, prepared on 65 0 alcohol.

    Can be immersed for 24 hours in 4% formalin solution.

    Re-sterilize in an alcohol solution of furacilin 1: 1500, septocide.

    Sterilization of cotton-gauze swabs is carried out by autoclaving. Before autoclaving, swabs are placed (loosely) in bixes. The openings on the side wall are opened before loading the autoclave and closed after sterilization. Several biks are put into the autoclave at the same time. The duration of sterilization depends on the pressure gauge readings: at 1.5 atm. (126.8 0) - 30 min., at 2 atm. (132.9 0) - 20 min. Sterilization control in an autoclave - they look at test tubes with sulfur, how it melted, then sterilization was carried out reliably. After the required time has passed, heating is stopped, the release valve is carefully opened, steam is released and the pressure is brought to atmospheric (to zero), only after that the autoclave lid is carefully opened and the material is removed.

    Swabs can also be sterilized with flowing steam, either in a special Koch flowing steam sterilizer, or using a saucepan or bucket with a lid.

    Sterilization starts from the moment when steam begins to come out from under the lid for a while in a continuous stream. The steam temperature reaches 100 0 ; duration of sterilization is at least 30 minutes.

    5. Fixation of the animal during the operation

    The main thing when fixing animals is to apply the necessary technique that calms them, create conditions for safe research and operations.

    Fixation in a standing position. In a group examination, closely spaced animals are tied to a hitching post or to a rope tightly stretched at the fence. In this position, they fix each other. This makes it possible to examine the area of ​​the head, neck, pelvis, external genital organs, vaccinate, examine rectally for pregnancy, castrate bulls in a standing position, etc.

    The head of the animal is firmly tied to the post, thereby limiting its movement.

    Fixation major horned livestock.

    6. Anatomical and topographic data of the operated area

    The ventral region of the neck extends downward from the cervical vertebrae. Borders: anterior - a line connecting the corners of the lower jaw and running along the contour of the external maxillary vein; the back is the handle of the sternum, the upper is the contour of the brachiocephalic muscle and the lower is the free edge of the neck. The composition of the ventral region of the neck includes: the larynx and trachea, esophagus, thyroid gland, surrounding muscles and fascia. The mutual arrangement of these organs and the layers covering them is not the same in different thirds of the neck, which should be taken into account when performing the operation (Fig. 1). Layers and organs. The skin is thin, mobile, in a large cattle hangs down on the free edge of the neck in the form of a fold. Under it is the subcutaneous tissue with the ventral branches of the skin cervical, nerves, skin blood and interfascial vessels branching in it. The superficial two-layered fascia of the neck is relatively loosely connected to the underlying layer, and fuses along the midline with the outer leaf of the deep fascia. In the middle and caudal third of the neck there is a subcutaneous muscle of the neck, which merges with the upper edge of the brachiocephalic muscle, and below covers the jugular groove.

    The neurovascular bundle of the neck includes the common carotid artery, the vagus and sympathetic nerves, and the recurrent nerve. The latter gives off tracheal, esophageal and thyroid branches and ends in the larynx.

    In cattle, the sympathetic trunk, entering the chest cavity, enters the caudal cervical ganglion or stellate ganglion.

    Fig.2. Cross section of the ventral region of the neck in cattle at the level of the 3rd vertebra: 1 - skin; 2 - superficial fascia; 3 - brachiocephalic muscle; 4 - sternomaxillary muscle; 5 - external jugular muscle; 6 - own fascia of the brachiocephalic, sternomaxillary muscles and jugular vein; 7 - sternomastoideus muscle; 8 - deep fascia of the necks and from the plate (a - prevertebral, b - retrotracheal, c - pretracheal); 9 - fascia of the trachea; 10 - trachea; 11 - esophagus; 12 - internal jugular vein; 13 - carotid artery; 14 - vagosympathetic trunk; 15 - recurrent nerve; 16 - sternum hyoid to 17 - sternothyroid muscle; 18 - long muscle of the neck; 19 - white line of necks.

    7. Pain relief

    Anesthesia and infiltration anesthesia along the incision line, and an antipsychotic is also injected.

    8. Online access

    A skin incision is made in the caudal third of the jugular groove 8-10 cm long along the lower edge of the brachiocephalic muscle, along and above the jugular vein. After that, the superficial fascia and subcutaneous muscle are dissected. Stop bleeding. Wound hooks expand the wound. Two surgical tweezers grab the fascia into the fold and dissect it. Having determined the location of the artery by palpation of the pulse, the deep fascia of the neck is pulled up with tweezers and also dissected with scissors.

    9. Operational reception

    With the expansion of all layers of the wound, the neurovascular bundle is clearly visible. Later, the own fascia of the artery is cut with scissors, it is isolated with tweezers for 2-3 cm, a ligature is brought under it with a Deschen needle, without capturing the nerves, and bandaged. The operation is completed by applying a knotted suture to the deep catgut fascia, to the silk skin.

    In case of accidental injuries of the artery, it is exposed at the site of injury in such a way that it is possible to tie up the central and peripheral ends of the vessel.

    10. The final stage operations

    Blood clots are removed from the wound cavity and powdered with antibiotic powder.

    Recipe: Benzylpenicillin sodium 100000 ED

    11. Postoperative treatment

    After ligation of the common carotid artery, the animal is monitored. If suppurative processes occur, the wound is cleaned and treated with an antiseptic solution.

    12. Feeding, care and maintenance of the animal

    After the operation, the animals are placed in a separate machine. Special feeding is not required. There should be no drafts. They put on a diet, exclude dusty feed.

    Ligation of the common carotid artery
    (a. carotis communis)

    The indication is usually the injury of these vessels, as well as the consequences of injuries - aneurysms carotid vessels. The best place to expose all three carotid vessels is the carotid triangle (trigonum caroticum.). The incision is made along the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The skin, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia with subcutaneous muscle and the second fascia of the neck are dissected. The muscle is retracted outwards (Fig. 57). The fiber and the sheath of the neurovascular bundle, which is formed by the parietal leaf of the fourth fascia, are bluntly stratified. The vessel is isolated and a ligature is brought under it on the Deschamps needle and then a ligation is performed. It must be remembered that the internal jugular vein (v. jugularis interna) is located outward from the common carotid artery, and the vagus nerve (n. vagus) is located between the vessels and behind them.
    Ligation of the external and internal carotid arteries
    (aa. carotis externa et interna)

    For this operation, the same incision is used as for ligation of the common carotid artery (Fig. 57), only extended upwards from the hyoid bone. If we push the edges of the upper half of the wound with hooks and trace the trunk of the carotid artery upward, then at the level of the notch of the thyroid cartilage (incisura rhyreoidea) we get to the place of division. The latter is usually covered by a rather thick deep vein of the face (v. faciei profunda). If it lies just at the site of division, then in order to completely expose both trunks of the carotid artery, it has to be tied up in two places and cut between ligatures. From the place of division of the common carotid artery, the external carotid artery is directed inward and anteriorly. It is best recognized by the fact that immediately after division, it gives off several branches inward. The internal carotid artery goes deep and at first lies somewhat outward from the external carotid artery. Here, immediately above the place of division, both trunks can be tied up, and here, when they are exposed, it is necessary to dissect the common vagina.
    Ligation of the common, internal and external carotid arteries is carried out no closer than 1 cm to the bifurcation site.
    Despite the fact that ligation of the common and internal carotid arteries gives a large number of complications, until now, in order to stop bleeding, a ligature of vessels has been used.

    Ligation of the lingual artery
    (a. lingualis).

    The large horn of the hyoid bone and the lower edge of the horizontal branch of the lower jaw are groped, and a slightly convex downward incision is made parallel to the latter by at least a transverse finger below the edge of the jaw and below the large horn of the hyoid bone. After dissection of the skin and subcutaneous muscle of the neck, the external jugular vein becomes visible in the posterior corner of the wound. The bottom of the wound stretched with hooks is formed by the submandibular gland covered with cervical fascia. After dissection of the cervical fascia, the gland is isolated along its entire lower circumference and pulled upward so that its excretory duct, which is directed into the depths, is tightly stretched. The digastric muscle and its tendon attachment to the hyoid bone are now clearly visible. The stylohyoid muscle (m. stylohyoideus) is immediately attached, passing along with the posterior belly of the digastric muscle. In the anterior corner of the wound, the jaw-hyoid muscle (m. mylohyoideus) extending from the hyoid bone to the lower jaw is stretched, which stands out especially clearly if the hyoid bone between the abdomens of the digastric muscle is grabbed with a thin sharp hook and pulled downward. Then the hypoglossal nerve (n. hypoglossus) is very clearly detected, running approximately parallel to the hyoid bone. This nerve lies directly on the hyoid-lingual muscle (m. hyoglossus), the longitudinally extending fibers of which serve as a background for the nerve passing here.
    Within the described deep triangle of the neck, the fibers of the hyoid-lingual muscle are stupidly pushed apart with two anatomical tweezers and a transversely running artery is found under it and ligated (Fig. 58).

      An incision along the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle from the level of the angle of the lower jaw to the level of the thyroid cartilage.

      Dissection of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and subcutaneous muscle.

      Ligation and intersection or retraction of the external jugular vein lying under the platysma in the upper section of the wound.

      Opening along the grooved probe of the anterior wall of the vagina of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, releasing its anterior edge. After that, the muscle is pulled outward with a blunt hook. Dissect the posterior wall of the vagina. For orientation, a pulsation of the carotid artery is probed with a finger.

      Stratification of the fiber and fascia that covers the vessels, the allocation of the common facial vein located above the carotid artery with venous trunks flowing into it. The vein is ligated and crossed.

      Detection of a bifurcation and the external carotid artery departing from it at the level of the thyroid cartilage. The external carotid artery is recognized by the vessels departing from it. No vessels depart from the internal carotid artery.

      Separation of the artery from the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve. The artery is ligated between the superior thyroid and lingual arteries. A thick silk ligature with a Duchamp needle is carefully brought under the artery from the side of the vein, leaving the vagus nerve aside.

    When ligating an artery, it is more reliable to apply 2 ligatures to each end (especially to the central end).

    INFECTIOUS-INFLAMMATORY COMPLICATIONS

    With non-gunshot fractures of the jaws, three types of infectious and inflammatory complications should be distinguished: suppuration of soft tissues, suppuration of a bone wound, traumatic osteomyelitis.

    Suppuration of soft tissues. The presence of a rich network of blood vessels and nerves in the area of ​​the jaws and the perimaxillary muscular sheath predetermines their frequent damage in gunshot and non-gunshot fractures. Therefore, jaw fractures are accompanied by bruises, rupture of soft tissues, in which hemorrhages occur. As a result of infection with hematomas, suppuration of soft tissues occurs. With late treatment of victims in medical institutions and inadequate therapy, abscesses and phlegmon of the maxillary tissues develop.

    The clinical picture of soft tissue suppuration is characterized by an acute onset, the manifestation of local and general symptoms of inflammation (intense pain, infiltration and swelling of the maxillary tissues, skin hyperemia, fever, leukocytosis, increased ESR, etc.)

    Suppuration of soft tissues with untimely treatment may be a factor predisposing to the development of traumatic osteomyelitis.

    Suppuration of a bone wound- an inflammatory process localized only in the area of ​​the primary bone lesion, easily eliminated by draining the purulent focus. With suppuration of a bone wound, the main sign of traumatic osteomyelitis is absent - bone necrosis and sequestration do not occur. The duration of this period is 7-10 days.

    When a bone wound suppurates, a limited inflammatory process usually occurs in the area of ​​the fracture. The mucous membrane of the alveolar process is often damaged, infiltrated, edematous, subperiosteal abscess is formed. Often there is swelling of the periorbital tissues. Removal of a tooth from the fracture gap, an incision at the site of the greatest infiltration of tissues, providing good drainage of the bone wound, usually leads to an abortive course of the inflammatory process.

    With untimely and insufficiently active therapy, suppuration of a bone wound can transform into traumatic osteomyelitis.

    Traumatic osteomyelitis- purulent-necrotic process in the zone of damage to the jaw, accompanied by bone necrosis with the formation of sequesters and regeneration bone tissue.

    Traumatic osteomyelitis develops more often gradually, without a pronounced acute phase, if it was not preceded by suppuration of soft tissues. This feature of the course of the disease is due to the possibility of free outflow of wound discharge and purulent exudate from the area of ​​bone damage.

    Initially, the clinical manifestations may be the same as with suppuration of a bone wound, but later in the area of ​​​​the surgical incision, the hole of the extracted tooth, in other areas of the skin or mucous membrane, a persistent fistula is formed, supported by a purulent-necrotic process in the bone and not prone to self-healing . Often, purulent discharge persists for many months after damage to the jaw.

    X-rays are of great importance in the diagnosis of traumatic osteomyelitis of the jaws. Already on the 3rd week after the fracture of the jaw, limited foci of bone tissue destruction, small sequesters are formed. Repeated radiography reveals the growth of not only purulent-necrotic, but also reparative processes in the bone.

    Based on clinical and radiological data, three forms of chronic traumatic osteomyelitis of the lower jaw are distinguished:

      focal purulent-destructive process in the bone during the consolidation of fragments;

      focal purulent-destructive process of wound surfaces of the bone without consolidation of fragments;

      diffuse purulent-destructive process in the bone with the formation of large sequesters, without signs of fragment fusion.

    Prevention of complications is:

      in timely and correct delivery medical care sick. In case of jaw fractures, after repositioning of bone fragments, timely, reliable and sufficiently long-term immobilization of the jaw is necessary;

      in deciding the "fate" of a tooth located in the fracture gap and surgical sanitation of the oral cavity. At the same time, they must be removed from the fracture line;

          all teeth with complicated caries and with marginal periodontitis;

          dislocated and broken teeth;

          teeth and rudiments of teeth that interfere with the reposition of bone fragments.

    All teeth remaining in the fracture line (intact teeth) are checked for pulp viability. If necessary, they are trepanated and sealed (often single-rooted) or removed. After removing the tooth from the fracture line, in the absence of purulent inflammation, the hole should be sutured tightly;

      in meticulous oral care (oral hygiene). To this end, after each meal, the patient should use toothpicks and then rinse or irrigate the oral cavity with antiseptic solutions;

      in the appointment of anti-inflammatory (antibacterial) therapy. It is only important that it does not replace other, the above methods of preventing inflammation;

      in carrying out the whole complex of measures aimed at accelerating the regeneration of bone tissue (physiotherapy, physiotherapy, balanced diet, vitamin therapy, early functional loading, immunotherapy).

    Traumatic sinusitis of the maxillary sinus develops with zygomatic-maxillary fractures, gunshot wounds of the upper jaw in those cases when, during the primary surgical treatment, a sinus revision is not performed with the subsequent removal of foreign bodies, bone fragments, hematomas from it with the obligatory imposition of an anastomosis in the lower nasal passage.

    Salivary fistulas occur with non-gunshot and gunshot injuries of the salivary glands and their ducts. There are complete and incomplete salivary fistulas.

    Ankylosis- persistent reduction of the jaws, caused by the fusion of the surface of the head of the lower jaw with the glenoid cavity of the temporal bone. According to the type of tissue that forms ankylosis, fibrous and bone are distinguished. The disease often occurs in childhood. But due to gunshot wounds of the maxillofacial region, fibrous ankylosis (articular contracture) can form. Treatment - surgical.

    Persistent contracture of the masticatory muscles should be differentiated from unstable contractures, which are more correctly referred to as “jaw reduction”, which occurs when the masticatory muscles are involved in the inflammatory process. Contractures of masticatory muscles are also subdivided into extra-articular and articular, which should be differentiated from ankylosis of the lower jaw. Treatment of contractures is usually surgical.

    Under false joint should be understood as an ununited fracture with persistent pathological mobility of fragments. A false joint occurs with imperfect reposition and immobilization of fragments of the lower jaw in cases of interposition of soft tissues, the lower alveolar nerve, in the event of traumatic osteomyelitis with extensive sequestration of bone tissue. Especially often, a false joint occurs with gunshot fractures of the lower jaw with extensive destruction of bone tissue and gunshot osteomyelitis. Treatment of a false joint of the lower jaw is surgical. In cases of large bone defects, bone grafting is used.

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK

    Relevance of the problem

    Malignant tumors in the head and neck region account for about 20% in the overall structure of oncological morbidity. Despite recent achievements in the diagnosis of neoplasms of the head and neck and carrying out activities aimed at identifying initial stages malignant neoplasms, including external localizations, 70 - 80% of patients are admitted for special treatment in III - IV stages of the disease. In this case, the treatment is combined or complex, and the operation is its main stage [Paches AI, 2000; Shah J., 2003].

    One of the common stages of surgical treatment of such patients is the ligation of the external carotid artery in order to reduce blood loss during the operation and reduce the risk of bleeding in the postoperative period. However, a number of authors believe that with the radical removal of tumors of the oropharyngeal zone, bleeding can be controlled by ligation of vessels in the wound [Khodzhaev VG, 2000; Lyubaev B.JL, 2006; Ampil F., 2001].

    There are many supporters of ligation of the external carotid artery on the side of the lesion during electrosurgical resections of the tongue and oropharynx. At the same time, in addition to a significant reduction in intraoperative blood loss, the reduction in the risk of delayed bleeding in the postoperative period is emphasized. Therefore, despite the introduction into practice of modern surgical technologies, such as a radio scalpel, a laser, ligation of the external carotid artery remains relevant [Kononuchenko V.P., 1967; Prokofiev V.E., 2004; Jahnke V., 1985; Ampil F.L., et al. 2001].

    A thorough analysis of the literature showed that at present there is no consensus among physicians regarding possible influence external carotid artery to the blood supply to the brain and organ of vision. A number of authors believe that this vessel does not have any effect on these vital organs, so this operation can be successfully used in different categories of patients [Bragina LK, 1974; Anzola G.P., 2000].

    carotid arteries, the influence of the external carotid artery in the blood supply to the brain and organ of vision is significant. This effect is enhanced with stenosis of the internal carotid artery, which greatly worsens functional state these organs during ligation of the external carotid artery and can lead to a number of serious consequences, such as: the development of ischemic cysts of the brain, the phenomena of transient amaurosis or retinal infarction [Zavgorodnyaya NG, 1997; Roen J.V., 2003; Stepanov O.P., 2006; Mcln-tyre K.E. et al., 1985; Feam S.J. et ah, 2000].

    The question of the effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the frequency of regional metastasis in patients with tumors of the oropharyngeal zone remains debatable. According to some authors, when applying ligation of the external carotid artery before starting radiation treatment tumor metastasis to the lymph nodes of the neck occurs less frequently [Hessen E.H., 1964]. However, there is also an opposite point of view, according to which operations on the main neurovascular bundle lead to traumatization of the regional lymph drainage pathways, which contributes to the development of metastases in the lymph nodes of the neck [Gremilov V.A., 1982; Duditskaya T.K., 1984; Tsentilo V.G., 2005].

    The question of the time of onset of restoration of blood supply along the distal segment of the external carotid artery above the ligation site also remains relevant. In the available literature, we did not meet reports of possible recanalization through a section of the external carotid artery tied with two ligatures in the immediate and late postoperative period [Umrikhina ZA, 1963; Wacker A.B., 1965; Shotemore Sh.Sh. et al., 2001].

    Thus, the analysis of the literature data showed the ambiguity of opinions on the advisability of performing the operation of ligation of the external carotid artery in head and neck surgery, which proves the necessity and timeliness of this study.

    Purpose of the study

    Improvement of functional and oncological results of treatment of patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    Research objectives

    1. To identify possible changes in the brain according to ultrasound, transcranial duplex Dopplerography, electroencephalography, in the study of the neurological status and on the organ of vision by static quantitative perimetry in patients who underwent ligation of the external carotid artery.

    4. To study the effect of external carotid artery ligation surgery on continued growth and recurrence of the primary tumor, regional and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal cancer in the immediate and long-term period after surgical treatment.

    5. To assess the feasibility of performing preventive ligation of the external carotid artery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer when planning radical treatment.

    Scientific research

    1. For the first time in a complex application modern techniques The effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the functional state of the brain and organ of vision was studied.

    2. Using Doppler ultrasound, the possibility of restoring blood flow in the distal segment of the external carotid artery above the ligation site was assessed.

    3. For the first time, the effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the degree of intraoperative blood loss, calculated by the formula for determining the volume of circulating blood during operations for oropharyngeal cancer, was determined.

    4. The effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the healing of a postoperative wound in the oropharynx, as well as on recurrence, regional and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal cancer was studied.

    5. The expediency of ligation of the external carotid artery in patients with tumors of the oropharyngeal zone during radical treatment was assessed.

    Basic provisions for defense

    1. Ligation of the external carotid artery will worsen the functional state of the brain and organ of vision, fixed by EEG readings, static and quantitative perimetry and in the study of neurological status in patients operated on for oropharyngeal cancer, while not affecting the oncological results of treatment.

    2. Performing preventive ligation of the external carotid artery does not reduce intraoperative blood loss during radical surgery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    Practical significance

    Refusal to perform preventive ligation of the external carotid artery in patients undergoing radical surgery for cancer of the oropharynx and oral cavity improves the functional results of this category of patients without changing the oncological results and reduces the duration of surgery.

    Theoretical provisions and practical recommendations of the study can be used in the work of otorhinolaryngologists and oncologists. They can be included as educational material for students of medical universities and for the system of postgraduate professional education of doctors.

    The main provisions of the dissertation have been introduced into the practice of the thoracic department (head-neck department) of the Yaroslavl Regional Clinical Oncology Hospital. They are used

    when teaching students, interns and residents at the Department of ENT diseases and oncology of the Yaroslavl State medical academy.

    The main provisions of the dissertation were presented at the international conference of young scientists - otorhinolaryngologists (ENT Research Institute, St. Petersburg, 2004), the All-Russian scientific and practical conference "New medical technologies in otorhinolaryngology" (Moscow, 2004), the Russian scientific - practical conference of young scientists of otorhinolaryngologists ( St. Petersburg, 2005), International Conference "Tumors of the Head and Neck" (Anapa, 2006), at the conference of young scientists of the Yaroslavl State Medical Academy (2007).

    The work was performed at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (Head - Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor A.L. Klochikhin).

    MAIN PROVISIONS OF THE WORK

    Characteristics of clinical observations

    The paper analyzes the results of treatment of 65 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer who were treated at the ENT clinic of the Yaroslavl Medical Academy on the basis of the head and neck tumor department of the regional clinical oncological hospital in the period from 2004 to 2007. All patients were aged 40 to 79 years.

    All patients underwent radical antitumor treatment, as a rule, according to a combined or complex program. Radical surgery was the main component of special treatment. Depending on the characteristics of the surgical intervention, all patients were divided into two groups. The comparison group included 32 people who underwent preventive ligation of the external carotid artery. In patients of the main group (33 people), ligation of the external carotid artery was not performed. By gender, age, stage of cancer, the nature of metastatic lesions, the degree of tumor differentiation, concomitant pathology, as well as the volume and nature of surgical treatment, the compared groups are statistically comparable.

    The study included patients with stages III and IV of oropharyngeal cancer, which corresponds to Ts^o-hMg according to the international classification. Metastasis to the lymph nodes of the neck

    nostalgized with ultrasound, as well as on the basis of a puncture biopsy of the affected node under ultrasound control with further cytological confirmation of the diagnosis. According to the histological structure, keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma prevailed (57.1% - the main group; 52.5% - the comparison group), the non-keratinized form was present in 22.9% and 18.4 cases, respectively. The remaining patients (20% - the main group; 25% - the control group) had moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. 53 patients (87%) were diagnosed with concomitant somatic pathology, including coronary heart disease, hypertonic disease, chronic bronchitis and other diseases of the main vital organs and systems.

    Given the prevalence of the tumor, most patients, namely, 75% of patients in the comparison group and 84.8% of patients in the main group, received combined or complex antitumor treatment, which corresponds to modern standards treatment of patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer. At the same time, 13 patients of the main group and 18 patients of the comparison group had radical surgical intervention on the primary focus, it was supplemented with a preventive or therapeutic operation on the lymphatic tracts of the neck: Crile's operation or sheath-fascial excision of the lymph nodes and tissue of the neck.

    Research methods

    All patients underwent a conventional clinical examination, including a detailed survey with the collection of patient complaints, anamnesis of the disease, examination of all JIOP - organs. Each patient underwent rigid endoscopy of all parts of the pharynx and nasal cavity with optical rhinoscopes "Azimuth", according to the indications, patients underwent fiber-optic endoscopy using a fibronaso-pharyngolaryngoscope of the company "Pentax" FNL - 15P2, a halogen illuminator "Pentax" LH - 150 PC. In addition, all patients underwent stomatopharyngoscopy using the Krasnogvardeets 1534 and Heine light sources. In doubtful cases, to determine the boundaries of the spread of the tumor, a fourfold magnification system was applied to the Krasnogvardeets 1534 illuminator. To assess the possible effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the volume of blood loss in patients, the severity of intraoperative blood loss was calculated according to the formula of A.T. Staroverova with co-authors

    (1979), which assesses the correlation between actual globular volume, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and patient weight.

    GO fact. \u003d 11.08 + 0.615 Ht + 0.354 Hb -0.254Р, Where Ht is hematocrit in%, Hb is hemoglobin in g% P is the patient's weight in kg,

    GO - actual globular volume in ml/kg, GO deficit = GO due - GO actual GO due = Body weight in kg x 40 ml/kg for men, or

    Body weight in kg x 35 ml/kg for women, where 40 and 35 are the average normal values ​​of GO. If the globular volume deficit is up to 20% of the proper globular volume, then the blood loss is mild, not more than 500 ml. With a deficit of globular volume from 20% to 30%, blood loss is average, up to 1000 ml. With a globular volume deficit of more than 30%, severe blood loss, up to 1500 ml or more [Vilyansky MP, 1984].

    To determine the possible effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on cerebral blood flow, the functions of the brain and the organ of vision, the following criteria were used: ultrasonic dopplerography of extracranial carotid arteries (USDG), electroencephalography (EEG), determination of visual fields by performing static quantitative perimetry. In addition, to evaluate the so-called "cerebro-cerebral" symptoms, we examined neurological status patients.

    Statistical processing of the results of the study was carried out using the programs Microsoft Excel and Statistic 6.0. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether the obtained data obeyed the normal distribution law. With a normal distribution, the comparison of indicators was carried out using Student's t-test. In its absence, the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used at a significance level of differences within 0.05 (p<0,05) [Петри А., Сзбин К., 2003].

    RESULTS OF OUR RESEARCH AND THEIR DISCUSSION

    Patients of the main group were not treated with ligation of the external carotid artery. Hemorrhage was stopped by ligation of vessels in the wound, as well as by bipolar coagulation.

    In the study of blood loss in patients using the globular volume measurement formula, we considered it possible to divide the patients of the studied groups depending on the volume of the operation into three main subgroups, since these three options for surgical interventions were performed on patients. These subgroups are represented by: a) surgery on the primary lesion and ligation of the external carotid artery, b) surgery on the primary lesion with ligation of the external carotid artery and cervical lymphadenectomy, c) surgery on the primary lesion with ligation of the external carotid artery and cervical lymphadenectomy with reconstruction of the lower and / or the middle zone of the face with flaps with axial circulation.

    When assessing blood loss in patients of the comparison group, the lowest values ​​of this indicator were noted in patients of the 1st subgroup, i.e. during surgery on the primary focus and ligation of the external carotid artery. Intraoperative blood loss in this category of patients was 282.5±35.2 ml. In the group of patients who, in addition to surgery on the primary lesion and ligation of the external carotid artery, underwent cervical lymphadenectomy, blood loss was 644.7 ± 45.5 ml. The greatest blood loss was observed in patients with the largest volume of surgery, namely, during surgery on the structures of the oral cavity and/or oropharynx with ligation of the external carotid artery, accompanied by cervical lymphodenectomy and reconstruction of the defect with a displaced musculoskeletal pectoral flap, and amounted to 850.2 ± 65.3 ml (p 0.05).

    This fact is natural, since the stage of taking the flap from the chest is accompanied by bleeding from the edges of the resected muscle. The maximum volume of blood loss was no more than 1000 ml, which is moderate blood loss.

    When assessing blood loss in patients of the main group, the same patterns were noted as in patients of the control group, namely, the lowest values ​​of this indicator were noted in patients of the 1st subgroup, i.e. during operations on the primary focus. Intraoperative blood loss in these patients was 302.5±.45.2 ml. In

    In the second subgroup, namely, in patients after surgery on the primary focus and cervical lymphadenectomy, blood loss was 680.3±48.5 ml. Obviously, the greatest blood loss was observed in patients of the main group with the largest volume of surgery, namely, during surgery on the structures of the oral cavity and / or oropharynx, accompanied by cervical lymphadenectomy and reconstruction of the defect with a displaced pectoral musculoskeletal flap, and amounted to 861.2 ± 60, 3 ml (r<0,05), что иллюстрирует рис. 1.

    Rice. 1. The volume of blood loss in patients of the studied groups.

    The figures obtained correlate with the data obtained in the study of blood loss in patients of the control group. The maximum volume of blood loss in patients of the control group, as well as in patients of the main group, was no more than 1000 ml, which does not exceed blood loss of moderate severity. At the same time, there was no significant difference in the degree of blood loss in patients of both groups (p<0,05).

    It should be noted that when conducting ultrasound Dopplerography of the vessels of the head and neck, 85% of patients in the control group and 78% of patients in the main group revealed concomitant pathology of the studied vessels of an atherosclerotic nature,

    I am the main group

    which is associated with the age characteristics of the study group of patients. At the same time, no hemodynamically significant vascular lesions were detected in patients at the preoperative stage.

    When examining patients in the control group in the postoperative period by ultrasound examination of the vessels of the head and neck, an increase in the linear velocity of blood flow was revealed in almost all the main vessels of the neck and the main cerebral arteries. The most significantly increased blood flow velocity in the internal carotid artery, namely, from 48.7 cm/s to 56.7 cm/s, which amounted to 20.5% of the initial values. At the same time, the values ​​of blood flow velocity in the internal carotid artery slightly decreased during the year after the operation. However, we did not observe a complete recovery of the original values.

    At the same time, there was an increase in the velocity of blood flow through the main vessels and from the opposite side, although to a much lesser extent. To a greater extent, the blood flow velocity increased in the common and external carotid arteries from the contralateral side. Only the blood flow through the anterior cerebral artery did not undergo significant dynamics. Natural, in our opinion, is the dynamics of the Purcelot index (III). The only significant increase in this indicator occurred in the internal carotid artery on the side of the ligation, which indicates an increase in the cross-sectional area of ​​the vessel and leads to hyperperfusion of the blood supply zone of this vessel.

    It should be emphasized that the blood flow in the ligated external carotid artery was not located during all periods of observation in patients of the control group in the postoperative period. During the operation 1 year after the previous radical surgical intervention, accompanied by ligation of the external carotid artery, the old ligature was clearly visualized, while the blood flow distal to the dosing zone was not determined. Thus, we did not observe recanalization of the external carotid artery up to 1 year. We associate this fact with the use of a non-absorbable suture material such as lavsan or polyester when ligating this vessel.

    The dynamics of the visual field often serves as an important criterion for assessing the course of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment, and also has a prognostic value. Identification of visual field disorders provides significant assistance in the topical diagnosis of the lesion.

    of the brain due to characteristic visual field defects in case of damage to different parts of the visual pathway. Changes in the visual field in brain damage are often the only symptom on which topical diagnosis is based. The study of visual fields also provides significant assistance in the diagnosis of circulatory disorders of the main structures of the eyeball, such as the optic nerve and retina.

    In this work, computer perimetry was performed in patients in the preoperative period and after surgery at 1, 6, and 12 months. Considering that ligation of the external carotid artery could indirectly affect the blood supply to such structures of the eyeball as the retina and optic nerve, we can assume the possibility of developing peripheral vision disorders.

    Such violations are detected by computer perimetry in the form of narrowing of the peripheral boundaries of the visual field or the appearance of scotomas. In the control group, 15 patients with visual acuity of at least 0.03 with correction without concomitant ocular pathology were examined. According to computer perimetry performed in the early and late postoperative period, there were no visible changes in the visual fields of both eyes.

    Only in two clinical cases, which accounted for 13.3% of cases, was the appearance of relative scotomas in the upper half of the visual field of both eyes in the early postoperative period, which did not manifest itself clinically. However, already 6 months after the operation, we observed a complete normalization of this indicator. To illustrate this fact, we present below the results of static perimetry in a patient with impaired visual fields after surgery accompanied by ligation of the external carotid artery.

    Figure 3 clearly shows visual field disturbances in a patient 1 month after surgery with ligation of the external carotid

    artery. These changes were manifested by the appearance of relative scotomas in the upper parts of the visual fields, more on the side of the ligated external carotid artery, i.e. on right. The change in visual fields on the opposite side, in our opinion, is reflex in nature and does not have a functional effect on the organ of vision.

    Rice. Fig. 4. Indicators of the study of visual fields in a patient 6 months after surgery, accompanied by ligation of the external carotid artery.

    Figure 4 illustrates the normalization of static perimetry, while the presence of relative scotomas is not determined. Complete stabilization of the values ​​of the visual fields can also be traced a year after the operation.

    Computer perimetry was performed in the patients of the main group in the preoperative period and after surgery at the same time as in the patients of the control group. In this group, 14 patients with visual acuity of at least 0.03 with correction without concomitant ocular pathology were examined. According to computer perimetry performed in the early and late postoperative period, there were no visible changes in the visual fields of both eyes, including even the absence of relative scotomas.

    To assess the functional state of the brain, we used electroencephalography. Electroencephalogram - a curve obtained by registering fluctuations in electrical potential

    ciala of the brain through the integument of the head. An indication for electroencephalography is vascular, dyscirculatory changes (assessment of the severity of disorders and the dynamics of restoration of brain function).

    Electroencephalography revealed changes in three out of fifteen patients (20%) of the control group on the 30th day after the operation with ligation of the external carotid artery. These changes are characterized by an increase in diffuse changes in the bioelectrical activity of the brain and the appearance or increase in the amplitude of a peaked spindle-shaped alpha rhythm. Such changes completely disappeared six months after the study.

    For the purpose of illustration, we present the types and characteristics of the patient's electroencephalograms, with EEG changes that appeared on the 30th day after surgery with ligation of the external carotid artery.

    Figure 5 shows the normal parameters of the electroencephalogram in a patient before the operation, accompanied by

    by ligation of the external carotid artery. On the presented EEG, performed in the background recording, in response to afferent stimuli, moderately pronounced diffuse changes in the bioelectrical activity of the brain are determined according to the type of stimulation of the cortex with an emphasis on the fronto-central sections against the background of bursts of stem paroxysmal activity according to the type of interest of the hypothalamic-diencephalic structures. These changes are characterized as a variant of the norm.

    Figure 6 illustrates EEG changes in a patient one month after surgery with ligation of the external carotid artery. The increase in the bioelectrical activity of the brain is determined by the type of increase in the amplitude of biorhythms in the parietal regions, mainly due to the peaked spindle-shaped alpha rhythm. At the same time, single flashes of the spike type are asynchronously recorded in the frontal and central regions, without a tendency to increase in response to afferent stimuli. There is a suppression of the reaction of activation and assimilation of the rhythm. In comparison with the previous

    The next study showed a pronounced asymmetry in the form of an appearance on the right, i.e. on the side of the ligation of the external carotid artery, pronounced paroxysmal activity with high-amplitude alpha-rhythm discharges in large numbers, generalized in areas in the right hemisphere.

    However, the above-described changes in the patient's EEG were completely leveled by the sixth month after the operation, which is shown in Figure 7. A decrease in the bioelectrical activity of the brain is clearly seen in the form of a decrease in the amplitude of alpha rhythms. At the same time, it should be noted that the reactions of activation and assimilation of rhythms are enhanced.

    When performing electroencephalography in patients of the main group, in contrast to the results of examination of patients in the control group, we did not reveal significant changes after a radical operation without ligation of the external carotid artery. In general, the bioelectrical activity of the brain remained in the pre-

    affairs of the norm without the appearance or increase in the amplitude of the peaked spindle-shaped alpha rhythm.

    Taking into account the fact that a violation of the main blood flow in the branches of the aorta can cause neurological disorders, we assessed the neurological status at the same time intervals as other methods of special examination of patients.

    In patients in the early postoperative period, there was an increase in the intensity of headaches in the parietal-occipital region, more on the side of the operation. The dizziness detected before the operation increased, but there were no gait disturbances. Patients performed coordination tests satisfactorily. It should be emphasized that these disorders were transient and normalized by the sixth month after the operation.

    In patients after ligation with the external carotid artery in the early postoperative period, there was a decrease in the sensitivity of half of the face corresponding to the side of the operation. However, these disturbances were transient. The sensitivity of the face was fully restored by the sixth month after the operation.

    The highest mortality in patients of the control group was noted in the first year after treatment and amounted to a total of 10 patients (31.3%). At the same time, the vast majority of patients died from local recurrence - 5 clinical observations (15.6%), from regional metastasis - 1 patient (3.1%), one patient (3.1%) from generalization of the process with metastasis to the lungs , liver. Three patients (9.4%) died from concomitant diseases, 2 of them - from cardiovascular insufficiency (6.3%), 1 - from ischemic cerebrovascular accident (2.3%).

    During the second year of follow-up, four patients (12.5%) died. Of these, 1 patient (3.1%) from local recurrence. Three patients died from other causes: one patient (3.1%) died from brain metastases, one patient (3.1%) from pneumonia, and one patient from pulmonary tuberculosis (3.1%), which is theoretically may be associated with adverse effects of external carotid ligation.

    The lowest mortality rates were noted in the third year of observation. Only one patient (3.1%) died from a local recurrence.

    Thus, out of 30 patients of the control group, followed up for more than three years, 16 people are alive, i.e. three-year survival was 46.7%. At the same time, 6 patients (18.8%) developed

    local recurrences and metastases to the lymph nodes of the neck. All these patients were re-operated.

    When evaluating the oncological results of treatment of patients of the main group, the following results were obtained. Within one year after treatment, we followed up 30 patients out of 33 patients. At the same time, 5 patients died during this period, which amounted to 16.7%. 2 patients (6.6%) died from local recurrence and continued tumor growth, 1 patient (3.3%) died from regional metastasis. Two patients (6.6%) died from concomitant diseases, of which 1 - from cardiovascular insufficiency (3.3%), 1 - from cerebrovascular accident of hemorrhagic type during the first week after surgery (3.3%).

    Within two years, 14 patients were followed up, 3 patients died (21.4%). Of these, 2 patients (14.3%) from local recurrence. One patient (7.2%) died of acute cardiovascular failure.

    Within three years, five patients were followed up, of which two (40%) died of relapse. One - from acute cerebrovascular accident (20%). Thus, among the patients of the main group, the three-year survival rate was 40%.

    1. In patients with oropharyngeal cancer after a radical operation with ligation of the external carotid artery, transient functional brain disorders are possible, fixed during electroencephalography, neurological status examination. Also, after performing this operation, patients in 13.3% of cases had functional disorders of the organ of vision in the form of the appearance of relative scotomas, mainly on the side of the dressing, recorded by the method of static quantitative perimetry.

    2. Ligation of the external carotid artery does not significantly affect the degree of intraoperative blood loss during radical surgery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    3. Ligation of the external carotid artery does not significantly affect the healing of the postoperative wound, as well as the frequency of postoperative complications.

    4. Preventive ligation of the external carotid artery does not have a significant effect on the continued growth and recurrence of the primary tumor, regional and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal cancer in the immediate and long-term period after surgical treatment.

    5. When planning and performing a radical operation for oropharyngeal cancer, preventive ligation of the external carotid artery is not advisable.

    The results of our research allow us to offer the following recommendations:

    When performing radical operations in patients with cancer of the oropharynx and oral cavity, preventive ligation of the external carotid artery is not advisable, since in the postoperative period this leads to transient functional disorders of the brain and organ of vision, while the degree of intraoperative blood loss does not decrease. Also, ligation of the external carotid artery does not affect the oncological results, but objectively increases the duration of the surgical benefit in this severe category of patients.

    The urgency of the problem.

    Malignant tumors in the head and neck region account for about 20% in the overall structure of oncological morbidity. Despite the latest advances in the diagnosis of head and neck tumors and the implementation of measures aimed at identifying the initial stages of malignant neoplasms, including external localizations, 70-80% of patients are admitted for special treatment in III-IV stages of the disease. In this case, the treatment is combined or complex, and the operation is its main stage [Paches AI, 2000; Shah J., 2003].

    One of the common stages of surgical treatment of such patients is the ligation of the external carotid artery in order to reduce blood loss during the operation and reduce the risk of bleeding in the postoperative period. However, there is also a point of view according to which there is no need for ligation of this vessel during radical removal of tumors of the oropharyngeal zone, since bleeding can be controlled by ligation of vessels in the wound [Gremilov V.A., 1962; Wacker A.V., 1965; Khodzhaev V.G., 1978; 1983, 1997, 2000; Prokofiev V.E., 2004; Lyubaev V.L., 2006; Ampil F. L. et al., 2001; Shah J., 2003].

    In the palliative treatment of patients with widespread tumors of the oropharyngeal zone, ligation of the external carotid artery is used as a prophylaxis for bleeding from a decaying tumor during radiation or chemotherapy [Zimont DI, 1953; Ogoltsova E.S., 1984; Kozlova A.V., 1971; Aleksandrov N.M., 1998; Sokolenko S.M., 2003].

    At the same time, there are controversies regarding the possible effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the state of the brain. So many authors deny the role of the external carotid artery in the blood supply to the brain and thus believe that it is possible to fearlessly ligate this artery even from 2 sides [Kozlova AV, 1971; Prokofiev V.E., Lebedev S.N., 2004; Martis S., 1978]. However, other researchers emphasize the significant role of the external carotid artery in the blood supply to the brain, which obviously increases with occlusion of the internal carotid artery [Stepanov O.P., 2006; Daihes N.A. et al., 2005; Mclntyre K.E. et al., 1985; Feam S J. et al., 2000].

    The opinion of clinicians regarding the possible effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the organ of vision is ambiguous. Some authors do not attach importance to the role of the external carotid artery in the blood supply to the organ of vision [Mayat G.E., 1968; Anzola G.P. et al., 2000]. At the same time, others, relying on anatomical information, emphasize the significant role of this vessel in the blood supply to the tissues of the orbit [Kuntsevich GI, 1992; Stepanov O.P., 2006; Mclntyre K.E. et al., 1985; Feam S.J. et al., 2000].

    The question of the time of the onset of restoration of blood supply along the distal segment of the ECA above the ligation site also remains relevant. According to Umrikhina Z.A., with bilateral ECA ligation, tissue blood supply is restored in 30-45 days. According to Vakker A.V., with unilateral ligation of the ECA, blood supply to tissues is restored by 5-7 days, with bilateral ligation by 15-18 days. However, these studies were carried out on a small clinical material and using rather subjective methods. Therefore, we consider it necessary to evaluate the possibility of restoring blood flow along the ECA using modern methods of visualizing blood flow in the vessels. In the available literature, we did not find reports on the study of possible recanalization through the site of the ECA tied with two ligatures in the immediate and long-term postoperative period [Umrikhina Z.A., 1963; Wacker A.V., 1965; Shotemore Sh.Sh. et al., 2001].

    In the literature available to us, there are different points of view on the effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on regional metastasis. Thus, according to the data of Ye.N. According to other authors, the ligation of this vessel, on the contrary, contributes to regional metastasis [Gremilov V.A., 1962; Duditskaya T.K., 1984; Centillo V.G., 1998]. The latter justify this by traumatizing the lymphatic outflow tracts during access for ECA ligation and the occurrence of implantation metastases in the intervention area. Given the above and different opinions of researchers on the issue of postoperative wound healing and distant metastasis, there is an urgent need to clarify a number of data on this issue.

    Objective: Evaluation of the effectiveness of ligation of the external carotid artery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    Research objectives:

    1. To study possible changes in the brain according to ultrasound, transcranial duplex Doppler, electroencephalography, in the study of neurological status and on the organ of vision by static quantitative perimetry in patients who underwent ligation of the external carotid artery.

    2. To assess the possible effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the degree of intraoperative blood loss in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    3. To study the possible effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on postoperative wound healing and the incidence of postoperative complications.

    4. To study the effect of ECA ligation on continued growth and recurrence of the primary tumor, regional and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal cancer in the immediate and long-term period after surgical treatment.

    5. To study the feasibility of ECA ligation in patients with oropharyngeal cancer when planning radical treatment.

    Scientific novelty: For the first time, the effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the functional state of the brain and organ of vision was studied in a comprehensive manner using modern techniques.

    The possibility of restoring blood flow in the distal segment of the ECA above the ligation site was assessed using Doppler ultrasound technique.

    For the first time, the effect of ECA ligation on the degree of intraoperative blood loss, calculated by the formula for determining the volume of circulating blood during operations for cancer of the oropharynx and oral cavity, was determined.

    The effect of ligation of the external carotid artery on the healing of a postoperative wound in the oral cavity and oropharynx, as well as on recurrence, regional and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal cancer was studied.

    The expediency of ligation of the external carotid artery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer during radical treatment was assessed.

    Provisions for defense: 1) Ligation of the external carotid artery worsens the functional state of the brain and organ of vision, fixed by EEG readings, static quantitative perimetry and in the study of neurological status in patients operated on for oropharyngeal cancer, while not affecting the oncological results of treatment .

    3) Performing preventive ligation of the external carotid artery does not reduce intraoperative blood loss during radical surgery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    Practical significance: Refusal to perform preventive ligation of the external carotid artery in patients undergoing radical surgery for cancer of the oropharynx and oral cavity improves the functional results of treatment of this category of patients without changing the oncological results and reduces the duration of surgery.

    Implementation of the results: The results of the study were implemented in the clinic of the Yaroslavl Oncological Center "Head-Neck" on the basis of the Yaroslavl Regional Clinical Oncological Hospital, the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Yaroslavl State Medical Academy. The dissertation materials are used in the educational process when conducting practical classes, seminars, lecturing at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Yaroslavl State Medical Academy, conducting advanced training courses for otorhinolaryngologists and oncologists.

    The work was carried out at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (Head - Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor A.JI. Klochikhin), supervisors - Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor A.JI. Klochikhin, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor E.I. Trofimov.

    Conclusion of the dissertation researchon the topic "Clinical and functional aspects of ligation of the external carotid artery in tumors of the oropharyngeal zone"

    1. In patients with oropharyngeal cancer after a radical operation with ligation of the external carotid artery, transient functional brain disorders are possible, fixed during electroencephalography, neurological status examination. Also, after performing this operation, patients in 13.3% of cases had functional disorders of the organ of vision in the form of the appearance of relative scotomas, mainly on the side of the dressing, recorded by the method of static quantitative perimetry.

    2. Ligation of the external carotid artery does not significantly affect the degree of intraoperative blood loss during radical surgery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

    3. Ligation of the external carotid artery does not significantly affect the healing of the postoperative wound, as well as on. the frequency of postoperative complications.

    4. Ligation of the external carotid artery does not have a significant effect on the continued growth and recurrence of the primary tumor, regional and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal cancer in the immediate and long-term period after surgical treatment.

    5. Refusal to ligate the external carotid artery during radical operations in patients with oropharyngeal cancer preserves the functional state of the brain and organ of vision.

    1. When performing radical operations in patients with oropharyngeal cancer, ligation of the external carotid artery worsens the functional parameters of the brain and organ of vision, while the degree of intraoperative blood loss does not decrease.

    2. Ligation of the external carotid artery does not affect the oncological results, but objectively increases the duration of the surgical intervention in patients of this severe category of patients.
