Od roku 1999 do roku 2003 bylo na Neurochirurgické klinice 1. LF UK, IPVZ a ÚVN Praha operováno celkem 277 nemocných s adenomem hypofýzy. Z tohoto počtu bylo 108 pacientů s hormonálně aktivními adenomy hypofýzy. K normalizaci nebo k dostatečnému poklesu hormonální hladin došlo u 61 pacientů po první operaci. V 47 případech nebyl hormonální pokles po první operaci dostatečný. Celkem v 18 případech byla indikována sekundární operace, pooperační medikamentózní léčba byla indikována u 17 pacientů, na Leksellově gama noži bylo ozářeno 34 pacientů. Po transsfenoidální operaci byla mortalita nulová, morbidita byla zaznamenána u 2 pacientů (1× trvalé zhoršení zraku, 1× likvorea). Trvalá substituce adiuretinem je nutná u 7 pacientů., There had been treated 277 patients with pituitary adenoma in period from 1999 to 2003 at Department of Neurosurgery, Central Military Hospital, Prague. Altogether there had been treated 108 patients with hormone-secreting adenomas. Normalization or sufficient hormone level decrease was observed in 61 patients after the first surgery. Hormone level decrease was not sufficient in remaining cases. Second surgery was performed in 18 cases, medicamental treatment was indicated in 17 cases, radiosurgery was applied in 34 cases. There was no mortality after transsphenoidal surgery, morbidity was observed in 2 cases (visual impairment in 1 case, CSF leak in 1 case). Permanent adiuretine substitution is needed in 7 cases., Václav Masopust, D. Netuka, V. Hána, and Lit. 22
The regeneration of the sciatic nerve after microsuture was compared with the connection of transected nerve with a coagulum of autologous blood plasma in 20 rabbits. The epineuroperineural suture was performed in 10 rabbits (group A). The severed nerve was approximated with fibrin glue of autologous blood plasma in 10 rabbits (group B). Their skin sensation margin during a 3-month-period of regeneration was examined, 90 days after surgery the connection was inspected and the nerve conduction velocity was measured across the site of the anastomosis. The microsuture was found to be firm in all 10 animals of group A. On the other hand, in 2 animals of group B, the glue failed to keep the nerve stumps approximated (dehiscence occurred in 20 % of the animals). There were no significant differences found on clinical and electrophysiological testing of regenerated nerves of both groups. The method of autologous fibrin glue in the repair of peripheral nerve transection does not provide a sufficiently firm connection. This procedure with the preparation of the centrifuged plasma is a more time-consuming method in comparison with the microsuture. Epineuroperineural microsuture with maximal effort to adapt the corresponding nerve fibres remains the method of choice for peripheral nerve reconstruction.
