Osmatescu, Angela; Stoian, Alina
Background. Many patients with tumors on both superior and inferior limbs can benefit from&#13;
reconstruction surgery, using different methods, in accordance with the tumor type and how&#13;
radical the surgery was performed. In our country, the most used surgical technics are related&#13;
to the use of different types of flaps.&#13;
Case report. A 57-year-old man with diabetes type II for 10 years, presented with a 20-year&#13;
history of static non-healing ulcer at the left Achilles tendon level after a car accident. The biopsy revealed squamos cell carcinoma. The surgery includes wide resection of the Achilles&#13;
tendon and calcaneus bone, with the resulting defect of 12x16 cm. The reconstruction was&#13;
performed with tendon-fasciocutaneous peroneal artery perforator flap, in a propeller manner&#13;
translation, with good function of the limb with minimum recovery time.&#13;
Conclusions. The decision of the reconstructive technique should be taken into account&#13;
regarding its consequences of the affected anatomical structures, the personal pathological&#13;
antecedents and pre-existing lesions at the level of the donor area.

<summary type="text">Calcaneus fractures
Sîromeatnicov, Mihaela
Introduction. Calcaneus fractures are the result of high energy trauma, falls from height, road&#13;
accidents. Calcaneus fracture constitutes 60% of the Tarsian fractures, 75% of them are intraarticular&#13;
and represent 2% of the total fractures, more commonly happens with men between&#13;
21-45 years (90%).&#13;
Aim of the study. The study of contemporary literature with reference to the treatment of&#13;
calcaneus fractures with the purpose to assess the treatment strategy.&#13;
Materials and methods. There were 28 literary sources, articles and scientific papers studied.&#13;
Results. Signs of calcaneus fractures are: deformation of the calcaneous region accompanied&#13;
by its widening transversely, deletion of the malleolar reliefs and of the Ahilian tendon,&#13;
flattening of the plantar arch and the "numeral" ecchymosis in the plantar area, mobility in the&#13;
ankle joint is diminished. The degree of movement of the fragments depends on the kinetic&#13;
energy of the trauma. The evaluation of a calcaneus fracture begins with radiography in 2&#13;
projections, anterior-posterior, with the calculation of the Bohler and Gissan angle and the axial&#13;
projection (Harris). Bohler classification (usually 20-40) is a criterion for assessing the severity&#13;
of the fracture. The gold standard in the diagnosis of calcaneus fractures is the computed&#13;
tomography using the Sanders classification and in case of lack of CT examination the Broden&#13;
projections are made. Treatment depends on the anatomical-clinical form of the fracture.&#13;
Orthopedic treatment is indicated for fractures without displacement, as well as for the thalamic&#13;
(Sanders I) and for the extratalamic ones. Graffin type gypsum immobilization is done if the&#13;
soft tissues allow. f not, the foot will be put in a prone position with the mobilization of the&#13;
fingers and ankle joint from the first days. Percutaneous osteosynthesis with cannulated screws&#13;
is indicated for extratalamic fractures. Surgery is indicated for thalamic fractures Sanders IIIIV&#13;
- open reduction and osteosynthesis with plate and screws. The optimum time for surgery&#13;
is in the first 3 weeks and when the "Wrinkle" test is positive. The outcome of the surgical&#13;
treatment as well as the orthopedic treatment is influenced by the factors related to the patient&#13;
(diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, obesity, smoking, the elderly, late addressing, serious&#13;
injuries associated) as well as the path of the fracture.&#13;
Conclusions. Patients with calcaneus fracture treated surgically have a shorter rehabilitation&#13;
period compared to those treated orthopedic. The functional result is better when the Bohler&#13;
angle and the anatomical reduction is restored.

<summary type="text">Diagnostic and palliative treatment of head of pancreas cancer
Butnari, Valentin
Introduction. Despite all improvements in both surgical and other conservative therapies,&#13;
pancreatic cancer is steadily associated with a poor overall prognosis and remains the fourth&#13;
leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. About 80% of patients who have&#13;
received a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer already have other organ metastasis, as well as local&#13;
tumor in the late stage. Therefore, appropriate palliation for the main symptoms, such as&#13;
obstructive jaundice, duodenal obstruction, and pain, is most important. The role of palliative&#13;
surgery in locally advanced pancreatic cancer mainly involves patients who are found&#13;
unresectable during open surgical exploration and consists of combined biliary and duodenal&#13;
bypass procedures.&#13;
Aim of the study. Analysis of clinical and paraclinical methods of diagnosis and palliative&#13;
surgical treatment of patients with cephalopancreatic cancer.&#13;
Materials and methods. The current study presented 548 cases with malignant obstructive&#13;
jaundice from the Gastrology Clinic of IMSP IO Chișinău, between 2007-2019. Excluded from&#13;
this research were any patients who underwent resection, had no obstructive jaundice at the time of diagnosis, or had other periampullary cancer (distal bile duct, ampulla of Vater, and&#13;
duodenum).&#13;
Results. We identified 424 cases with histologically proven with cephalopancreatic cancer&#13;
(263 males-58,31 % and 188 females-41,68%) who underwent palliative treatment with cancer&#13;
of the head of the pancreas aged between 32 and 84, requiring palliation.Following the&#13;
retrospective study, we found: the diagnosis of cephalopancreatic tumor was clinically and&#13;
paraclinically established using the diagnostic methods: USG (100%), CT (86,79%);&#13;
Retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (23,11%). The tumors of these patients were&#13;
unresectable because of local vascular invasion to the superior mesenteric vein, portal vein,&#13;
superior mesenteric artery, hepatic artery, or celiac artery. The tumor size was 5.4±2.2 cm. The&#13;
tumors of these patients were all in stage 2b-4 according to the NCCN guideline of pancreatic&#13;
cancer.No cases were diagnosed using preoperative biopsy. Of the 424 cases with a reported&#13;
histological subtype pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma 417(98,34%) ,Moderately&#13;
differentiated-207,Well-differentiated-107,Badly differentiated-87 Solid neoplasm-4(0,98%)&#13;
Acinar carcinoma 3(0,7%). All the patients underwent palliative surgery , of whom 109&#13;
(25,7%) biliar by-pass, 152 (35,84%) biliar + gastric by-pass , 65 (15,3%) stent and 23 (5,42%)&#13;
external bile drainage. The postoperative mortality did not exceed 5%, the rate of postoperative complications was below 23%, an acceptable value and equivalent to the world data.&#13;
Conclusions. 1. The goal of therapy for these patients is to obtain the most complete and&#13;
prolonged remission of symptoms possible, with the least intervention-related morbidity and&#13;
mortality. CT . 2. The gold standard in the diagnosis of cephalopancreatic tumor is abdominal
