One of the important conditions for the successful outcome of surgical treatment of joint pathology is minimal trauma of operations. This forced many traumatologists-orthopedists to look for ways to reduce trauma by reducing arthrotomy access.

Surgery on the uterine appendages

Technically, the operation on the uterine appendages can be simple, but in some cases it is complicated by numerous adhesions. If it is difficult to remove the ovarian tumor into the wound, two swabs on a forceps can be used and, by moving them under the tumor.

Surgery on the external genitalia and vagina

Opening of an abscess of the large gland of the vestibule of the vagina. Indications: acute inflammatory process. Technique: a longitudinal incision is made inwards from the labia minora parallel to the latter, followed by drainage. In the postoperative period, the area is washed daily with hydrogen peroxide until cleansing, then a gauze turunda is inserted.

Surgeries that prepare the birth canal for delivery

Operations that prepare the birth canal for childbirth include: dilation of the perineum and vagina, perineotomy, dilation of the cervical canal, and artificial rupture of the amniotic sac.

Subcutaneous fatty tissue

The subcutaneous fat layer is examined almost simultaneously with the skin. The degree of development of the fatty tissue is often in accordance with the body weight and is determined by the size of the skin fold on the abdomen in the navel area; with a sharp decrease in it, the skin is easier to take into a fold, with significant fat deposits this is often impossible to do.

Study of the neuropsychic sphere

A full study of the patient's neuropsychiatric status can only be carried out if the doctor has an excellent knowledge of the symptomatology of nervous and mental illnesses and is proficient in the special research methods used in neurology and psychiatry.

Study of cranial nerves. III, IV, VI pairs: oculomotor, block and withdrawal nerves

The oculomotor nerve contains motor fibers that innervate the medial, superior and inferior rectus muscles of the eyeball, the inferior oblique muscle and the muscle that raises the upper eyelid, as well as autonomic fibers that, interrupted in the ciliary ganglion, innervate the internal smooth muscles of the eye - the sphincter of the pupil and the ciliary muscle.

Studies of the anterior and posterior paranasal sinuses

The anterior paranasal sinuses include the frontal and maxillary sinuses, as well as the anterior cells of the ethmoid labyrinth.

Spleen ultrasound

Indications for ultrasound examination of the spleen: splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), formation in the left half of the abdomen, closed abdominal trauma.

Spinal anesthesia

Spinal anesthesia may be the method of choice for many surgeries below the umbilicus, such as hernia repair, gynecological and urological surgeries, perineal or genital surgeries. Any lower limb surgery can be performed under spinal anesthesia.

Skull X-ray

The main and proven method of radiological examination of the skull is survey radiography. It is usually performed in two standard projections - direct and lateral. In addition to them, axial, semi-axial and targeted radiographs are sometimes required. Survey and targeted images are used to establish the position, size, shape, contours and structure of all the bones of the skull.

Skin and nail examination

The main complaint of patients, which makes them pay attention to the condition of the skin, is itching. It often occurs simultaneously with skin changes that are detected during examination (for example, with psoriasis).

Skiascopy

Skiascopy (from the Greek scia - shadow, scopeo - I examine) is a method of objectively studying clinical refraction, based on observing the movement of shadows obtained in the area of the pupil when the latter is illuminated using various techniques.

Single-photon emission tomography

Single-photon emission tomography (SPET) is gradually replacing conventional static scintigraphy, as it allows for better spatial resolution with the same amount of the same radiopharmaceutical, i.e. to detect significantly smaller areas of organ damage - hot and cold nodes. Special gamma cameras are used to perform SPET.

Sigmoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or rectosigmoscopy is an instrumental method of examining the final part of the main section of the large intestine, the sigmoid colon (colon sigmoideum), which passes directly into the rectum.

Sialometry

To study the secretory activity of the salivary glands, sialometry of the major and minor salivary glands is performed. Secretion is usually determined by collecting parotid saliva or collecting secretion from the submandibular glands. Sialometry allows for the evaluation of the functions of each gland.

Sialography

Sialography (X-ray of the salivary glands with artificial contrast of their ducts) is most often used to diagnose various diseases. Sialography allows us to judge the condition of the ducts and parenchyma of the gland.

Shoulder ultrasound

In most medical institutions, X-ray examination of the shoulder joint remains mandatory in the algorithm for examining patients with shoulder pathology. It is well known that X-ray examination is highly informative when searching for traumatic injuries to bone structures.

Shoulder arthroscopy

The shoulder complex is the most mobile of the joints in the human body. It consists of five joints: two physiological (or false) and three anatomical.

Sensitivity study

The most common complaint associated with sensory impairment is pain. Sensitivity assessment is entirely based on the patient's self-report of his subjective sensations, so sensitivity is examined last during a neurological examination.
