Therapeutic physical culture in reconstructive and restorative operations after amputation of the upper limbs. Amputation and disarticulation of the phalanges of the fingers Amputation of the distal phalanx

All materials on the site are prepared by specialists in the field of surgery, anatomy and specialized disciplines.
All recommendations are indicative and are not applicable without consulting the attending physician.

It is difficult for most of us to imagine solving ordinary household tasks and professional activities without fingers. On the feet, they are needed for support and proper walking; on the hands, fine motor skills allow not only to carry out the necessary self-service skills, but also provide writing.

Unfortunately, there are situations in life when the feet and hands undergo irreversible changes, in which all organ-preserving methods of treatment cannot ensure the preservation of tissues, therefore, it becomes necessary to amputate the finger.

Amputations due to trauma and persistent unsatisfactory results are carried out only in cases where the possibilities of more gentle treatment have been exhausted or it is not feasible due to the extent of the lesion. In other words, such an operation will be performed when saving a finger is simply impossible:

  • Traumatic injuries, finger avulsions, severe crushing of soft tissues;
  • Severe burns and frostbite;
  • Necrosis of the fingers due to vascular disorders (diabetes mellitus, primarily thrombosis and embolism of the vessels of the hands and feet);
  • Acute infectious complications of injuries - sepsis, abscess, anaerobic gangrene;
  • Trophic ulcers, chronic osteomyelitis of the bones of the fingers;
  • malignant tumors;
  • Congenital malformations of the osteoarticular apparatus of the fingers, including amputation of the toes in order to transplant them to the hand.

After the removal of the fingers and toes, the patient becomes disabled, his life changes significantly, so the question of the need for such an intervention is decided by a council of doctors. Of course, surgeons will try to the last to use all available ways to save fingers and toes.

If treatment is necessary for health reasons, then the consent of the patient is not necessary. It happens that the patient does not agree to the operation and there are no absolute indications for it, but leaving a sore finger can cause serious complications, including death, so doctors try to explain to the patient and his relatives the need to remove the fingers and get consent as soon as possible.

Before the operation, the doctor tells the patient in detail about its essence, and also chooses the most optimal option for prosthetics, if necessary, or plastic surgery, so that the cosmetic result is the most beneficial.

There are, in fact, no contraindications to amputation of a finger or toe. Of course, it will not be carried out when the patient is in an agonal state, but the transition of necrosis to the overlying parts of the limbs or a high risk of complications when only a finger is removed can become an obstacle to surgery. In such cases, amputation of the fingers is contraindicated, but a large operation is needed - at the level of large joints, etc.

Preparing for the operation

Preparation for surgery depends on the indications for its implementation and the patient's condition. In case of planned interventions, the usual list of tests and studies is required (blood, urine, fluorography, cardiogram, tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, coagulogram), and to clarify the nature of the lesion and the expected level of amputation, x-rays of the hands and feet, ultrasound, determination of the sufficiency of work are performed vascular system.

If there is a need for an urgent operation, and the severity of the condition is determined by the presence of inflammation, infectious complications and necrosis, then antibacterial agents and infusion therapy will be prescribed during preparation to reduce the symptoms of intoxication.

In all cases when an operation on the hands and feet is planned, blood-thinning agents (aspirin, warfarin) are canceled, and the attending physician should be warned about taking drugs of other groups.

Anesthesia for amputation of fingers is often local, which is safer, especially in the case of a serious condition of the patient, but quite effective, because pain will not be felt.

In preparation for the amputation or disarticulation of the fingers, the patient is warned about its result, it may be necessary to consult a psychologist or psychotherapist, who can help reduce preoperative anxiety and prevent severe depression after treatment.

Amputation of fingers

The main indication for amputation of the fingers is an injury with their complete or partial separation. With detachment, the surgeon is faced with the task of closing the skin defect and preventing scar formation. In the case of severe crushing of soft tissues with their infection, there may not be opportunities to restore adequate blood flow, and then amputation is the only treatment. It is also carried out with the necrosis of soft tissues and elements of the joints of the finger.

If several fractures have occurred during the injury, the bone fragments have shifted, and the result of organ-preserving treatment is a motionless crooked finger, then surgery is also necessary. In such cases, the absence of a finger brings much less discomfort when using a brush than its presence. This reading does not apply to the thumb.

Another reason for the amputation of the fingers can be damage to the tendons and joints, in which the preservation of the finger is fraught with its complete immobility, disrupting the work of the remaining fingers and the hand as a whole.

distribution of finger and hand amputations by prevalence

The choice of amputation height depends on the level of damage. The fact is always taken into account that a fixed or deformed stump, a dense scar interferes with the work of the hand much more than the absence of the entire finger or its separate phalanx. When amputating the phalanges of long fingers, an operation that is too sparing is often performed.

When forming a stump, it is important to ensure its mobility and painlessness, the skin at the end of the stump should be mobile and not cause pain, and the stump itself should not be bulb-shaped thickened. If it is technically not possible to recreate such a stump, then the level of amputation may be higher than the edge of the damage to the finger.

During operations on the fingers, the localization of the lesion, the profession of the patient, and his age are important, therefore, there is a number of nuances that surgeons know and must take into account:

  1. When amputating the thumb, they try to keep the stump as long as possible; on the ring and middle fingers, even short stumps are preserved to stabilize the entire hand during movements;
  2. The inability to leave the optimal length of the stump of the finger requires its complete removal;
  3. It is important to preserve the integrity of the heads of the metacarpal bones and the skin of the spaces between the fingers;
  4. They try to keep the little finger and thumb as intact as possible, otherwise there may be a violation of the supporting function of the hand;
  5. The need to amputate several fingers at once requires plastic surgery;
  6. With severe contamination of the wound, the risk of infectious lesions and gangrene, plastic and sparing operations can be dangerous, therefore, a complete amputation is performed;
  7. The profession of the patient affects the level of amputation (for mental workers and those who perform delicate work with their hands, it is important to carry out plastic surgery and preserve the length of the fingers as much as possible, for those who are engaged in physical labor, amputation to the maximum extent can be performed for speedy rehabilitation);
  8. The cosmetic result is important for all patients, and in some categories of patients (women, people in public professions), it becomes crucial when planning the type of intervention.

exarticulation- this is the removal of fragments or the entire finger at the level of the joint. For anesthesia, an anesthetic is injected into the soft tissues of the corresponding joint or into the area of ​​​​the base of the finger, then healthy fingers are bent and protected, and the operated one bends as much as possible, and a skin incision is made on the back side of the joint. When removing the nail phalanx, the incision goes 2 mm away towards the end of the finger, the middle one - 4 mm and the entire finger - 8 mm.

After dissection of the soft tissues, the ligaments of the lateral surfaces are intersected, the scalpel enters the joint, the phalanx, which is to be removed, is brought into the incision, the remaining tissues are intersected with the scalpel. The wound after amputation is covered with skin flaps cut from the palmar surface, and the sutures must be placed on the non-working side - the back.

Maximum tissue savings, the formation of a flap from the skin of the palmar surface and the location of the suture on the outer are the basic principles of all methods of amputation of the phalanges of the fingers.

In the case of injuries, both complete separation of the finger and partial separation can occur when it remains connected to the brush with a soft tissue flap. Sometimes patients bring severed fingers with them in the hope of their engraftment. In such situations, the surgeon proceeds from the characteristics of the wound, the degree of contamination and infection, and the viability of the torn fragments.

With a traumatic amputation, the suturing of a lost finger can be done, but only by a specialist who has fine techniques for connecting blood vessels and nerves. Success is more likely when restoring the integrity of a finger that has retained at least some connection with the hand, and with a complete detachment, reimplantation is performed only when there is no crushing of the tissues and proper healing is possible.

Reconstructive operations on the fingers are extremely complex, require the use of microsurgical techniques and appropriate equipment, and take up to 4-6 hours in duration. The work of the surgeon is extremely painstaking and accurate, but the success is still not absolute. In some cases, skin grafting, repeated reconstructive interventions are required.

Rehabilitation after the removal of fingers or their phalanges includes not only the care of a skin wound, but also the early restoration of self-care skills with the help of hands and manipulations related to the profession. In the postoperative period, physiotherapeutic procedures and exercises are prescribed to ensure that the patient learns to use the stump or the reimplanted finger.

To facilitate the recovery process, analgesics, bed rest are indicated, the hand is predominantly in an elevated position. With severe postoperative stress or a tendency to depression, tranquilizers, sleeping pills are prescribed, it is advisable to work with a psychologist or psychotherapist.

Amputation of the toes

Unlike the fingers, which are most often subjected to traumatic injuries that lead to the surgeon's table, the need for surgery on the foot and fingers arises in a number of diseases - diabetes mellitus, endarteritis, atherosclerosis with gangrene of the distal legs.

Amputation of the toe due to diabetes performed quite often in general surgery departments. Trophic disturbance leads to severe ischemia, trophic ulcers and, ultimately, to gangrene (necrosis). It is impossible to save the finger, and surgeons decide on its amputation.

It is worth noting that it is far from always possible for diabetics to limit themselves to the removal of one finger, because nutrition is disturbed, which means that one can only hope for adequate regeneration in the scar area. In connection with significant disorders of the blood supply to soft tissues in various angiopathy, surgeons often resort to more traumatic operations - exarticulation of all fingers, removal of part of the foot, the entire foot with a portion of the lower leg, etc.

When amputating the toes, the basic principles of such interventions must be observed:

  • The maximum possible preservation of the skin from the side of the sole;
  • Preservation of the work of the flexors, extensors and other structures involved in multidirectional movements of the feet, in order to ensure a uniform load on the stump in the future;
  • Ensuring the mobility of the articular apparatus of the feet.

With small lesions (frostbite of the distal phalanges, for example), amputation of the distal and middle phalanx is possible without a significant violation of the functionality of the foot, with the exception of the thumb, which provides a supporting function, therefore, if it is necessary to remove it, they act as economically as possible.

When amputating the second finger, at least some part of it should be left, if this is possible due to the circumstances of the injury or disease, since with a complete amputation, deformity of the thumb will subsequently occur.

Amputations on the feet are usually performed along the line of the joints (exarticulation). In other cases, it becomes necessary to cut the bone, which is fraught with osteomyelitis (inflammation). It is also important to preserve the periosteum and attach the extensor and flexor tendons to it.

In all cases of injuries, avulsions, crush injuries, frostbite of the toes and other lesions, the surgeon proceeds from the possibility of maintaining the function of support and walking to the maximum. In some cases, the doctor takes a certain risk and does not completely excise non-viable tissues, but this approach allows you to save the maximum length of the fingers and avoid resection of the heads of the metatarsal bones, without which normal walking is impossible.

Toe exarticulation technique:

  1. The skin incision is started along the fold between the fingers and the metatarsus on the plantar side of the foot so that the remaining skin flap is as long as possible, the longest in the area of ​​​​the future stump of the first toe, since the largest metatarsal bone is located there;
  2. After the skin incision, the fingers bend as much as possible, the surgeon opens the articular cavities, dissects the tendons, nerves and bandages the vessels of the fingers;
  3. The resulting defect is closed with skin flaps, placing the seams on the back side.

If the cause of amputation of the fingers was an injury with contamination of the wound surface, a purulent process with gangrene, then the wound is not tightly sutured, leaving drains in it to prevent further purulent-inflammatory process. In other cases, a blind suture may be applied.

Healing after amputation of the toes requires the appointment of painkillers, timely treatment of sutures and change of dressings. With a purulent process, antibiotics are required, infusion therapy is carried out according to indications. The sutures are removed on the 7-10th day. With favorable healing after the primary operation, the patient may be offered reconstruction and plasty, as well as prosthetics to facilitate work, walking, resting on the foot.

Recovery from toe removal requires exercise therapy to develop the muscles and develop new skills in using the rest of the leg.

Traumatic amputation

Traumatic amputation is a partial or complete detachment of fingers or their parts during an injury. Surgical treatment for such injuries has some features:

  • The operation is performed only when the patient's condition is stable (after recovery from shock, normalization of the heart and lungs);
  • If it is impossible to sew back the torn part, the finger is removed completely;
  • With severe contamination and the risk of infection, primary wound treatment is mandatory, when non-viable tissues are removed, the vessels are tied up, and sutures are applied later or a second amputation is performed.

If the amputated fingers are delivered with the patient, then the surgeon takes into account their shelf life and tissue viability. At a temperature of +4 degrees, fingers can be stored for up to 16 hours, if it is higher - no more than 8 hours. A storage temperature of less than 4 degrees is dangerous for tissue frostbite, and then sewing the finger into place will become impossible.

No matter how carefully the operation to amputate the fingers and toes is carried out, it is impossible to completely exclude the consequences. The most frequent of them are purulent complications in the case of traumatic amputations, the progression of the necrotic process in vascular diseases, diabetes, the formation of a dense scar, deformities and immobility of the fingers, which is especially noticeable on the hands.

For the prevention of complications, careful observance of the amputation technique and the correct choice of its level are important; in the postoperative period, recovery is mandatory with the involvement of physiotherapeutic methods and exercise therapy.

- a small operation that is performed with traumatic amputation of the finger. The purpose of the intervention is the speedy healing of the wound, ensuring the functionality of the remaining segment. The operation is performed under local or conduction anesthesia, trying to keep the maximum possible length of the stump. All non-viable tissues and bone fragments are removed, the protruding end of the bone is treated so that no sharp edges remain on it. Tendons cross. The wound is closed with a skin flap from the palmar surface of the hand or two flaps - from the palm and from the rear. Apply an aseptic bandage. When several fingers are amputated, the hand is fixed with a plaster splint.

Methodology

The wound is abundantly washed with solutions of peroxide and furacilin, small bone fragments and non-viable soft tissues are removed. The distal part of the bone emerging from the wound is treated with bone nippers so that there are no sharp spikes left. The flexor and extensor tendons are retracted and crossed transversely. A skin flap is cut along the palmar surface one and a half times longer than the anteroposterior size of the finger.

If there is not enough skin on the palmar surface of the finger, traumatologists use two flaps - from the palmar and dorsal side.

IN association with hand injuries the question often arises before the surgeon: should I amputate or should I try to save the remaining parts of the hand? Before answering the question, a number of factors must be taken into account. It is necessary to take into account which finger and how many fingers were injured at the same time, what is the level of amputation, the nature of the damage, and also take into account the age and profession of the victim.

Of all injured fingers the thumb should be kept as long as possible. It never undergoes a shortened amputation. In case of damage to the middle and ring fingers, short stumps should also be preserved, as they ensure the preservation of the transverse arch of the hand and stabilize the position index finger and little finger.

Regarding the level amputations fingers, it should be noted that the left stump can only be useful if it is of sufficient length. If it is not possible to obtain a sufficiently long stump, then it is more reasonable to carry out a complete removal of the finger, since the remaining short immovable stump only interferes with the function of more proximal segments and healthy fingers.

Finger stumps it is best to cover with a palmar skin flap. In this case, the main task is to avoid tension on the flap and prevent scarring. A stump covered with unhealthy skin is not only of no benefit, but is vicious. The line of the heads of the metacarpal bones should not be touched, as it gives strength to the position of the carpal bones. Maintaining this line is a condition for a strong grip. Its breadth and flexibility are necessary to keep it working. Therefore, resection of the metacarpal heads should be avoided.

Interdigital folds, having the ability to expand, are an essential element in the independent movement of the fingers. That is why their integrity must be preserved.

Thumb and the little finger do not have an optimal level of amputation. They should, if possible, be preserved in their entirety. The thumb is due to the opposition function, and the little finger is used as a support for the hand.

Level amputations index, middle and ring fingers is determined in terms of functional and cosmetic considerations. Which of them is decisive in this case depends on the profession of the patient.

Forefinger. In manual laborers, the base of the proximal phalanx should be retained, as it expands the supporting surface of the bone. However, if cosmetic considerations are decisive, then the finger is removed down to the base of the metacarpal bone, since as a result of such an operation, a narrow brush of the correct form is obtained, the deformation of which is barely noticeable.

Middle and ring fingers. In order to preserve the interdigital folds that hold adjacent fingers in the required position, the base of the main phalanx of both these fingers should be preserved.

With simultaneous amputations of the rest of the fingers, it is necessary to strive to preserve such a stump that is useful for movement and which is not difficult to close with a skin flap. It must not be overlooked that the main task of the surgeon is to ensure the grip of the fingers and the entire hand. If several fingers are injured, one should be more conservative and cover the defects with a skin flap taken from the lateral or dorsal surface of the fingers. In the presence of irreparably severe injuries of the fingers, the skin removed from the bone of the most severely injured finger should be considered in terms of the possibility of using it to replace skin defects in the remaining fingers or using it in the form of a pedicled flap to cover the defect of one of the neighboring fingers.

Damage at the same time several fingers significantly impairs the functionality of the hand. Multiple injuries are an indication for plastic surgery, mainly for the use of a skin flap on a leg.

By the nature of the wounds a distinction must be made between clean wounds with smooth edges and contaminated bruised wounds with crushed edges. In the presence of an incised wound, plastic surgery can be attempted, however, in the case of contaminated wounds, necrosis and infection threaten. In such cases, it seems more favorable to remove the finger, instead of risking plastic surgery, after which, due to prolonged immobilization, stiffness of neighboring fingers may also occur.


From point of view the profession of the patient is a difference between people of fine manual, physical and mental labor. The requirements of the profession in most cases coincide with the interests of the patient and the national economy.

For worker of fine manual labor the preservation of tactile sensitivity and the full length of the finger is essential. So, it should not be shortened, but vice versa - the most important fingers for work should be restored using plastic. A fine manual worker often grasps an object between the thumb and the radial edge of the index finger. For the work of a tailor, the integrity of the middle finger is very important, and for a pianist, violinist, typist, each finger is of particular importance.

Worker's brush heavy physical labor often exposed to pressure, trauma, which in fact is tolerated only by the own skin of the finger. Therefore, during amputation, the finger is shortened and the stump is covered with a palmar skin flap or a displaced finger skin flap.

In people mental labor the shortened finger does not meet the cosmetic requirements, moreover, and its function is limited (Horn). The load of the brush in such people is less. Plastic surgery, sometimes requiring quite a long time, in most cases does not interrupt the work of the patient. So, in such cases, the desire of the patient and the requirements of cosmetics are of decisive importance.

Ultimately, with one finger in the elderly patient and manual worker, the interest of the national economy requires that the victim be able to start work as soon as possible. The preferred operation is finger amputation. In mentally ill people, as well as fine manual workers, various methods of plastic surgery should be resorted to, especially on fingers I, II, III.

Operation method may vary depending on the age and sex of patients. In children, it is easy to save even a small piece of skin. Good blood supply and tissue viability very often make it possible to perform very effective operations. In addition, in the course of the growth and development of the organism for many years, such changes are also erased, which at first gave little hope for the restoration of function. In older people, prolonged plastic surgery is primarily fraught with the risk of loss of mobility of the remaining fingers.

That's why surgeons they are more willing to sacrifice damaged parts of the hand, if only to avoid prolonged immobilization. Finally, with regard to the choice of surgery depending on gender, we must not forget that aesthetic considerations, especially in women, can be decisive.

Indications for surgery change significantly depending on the ratio between the damage and the brush as a whole. For example, in the presence of an exposed tendon sheath, a skin defect can be replaced with a full-thickness skin flap, since with free transplantation, the skin fuses with the underlying tissues, which prevents the tendon from sliding.
Other diseases: Raynaud's and Dupuytren's disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and elderly age are contraindications for plastic surgery.

Indications for surgery:
1. Cases of traumatic amputation and disarticulation- when one finger is dissected due to the injury itself - without exception, they are subject to surgical intervention. The desire of the surgeon should be directed to the prevention of scar formation (Beff). It is achieved with the primary closure of the skin wound, which must be performed under any conditions. If a finger torn off along one plane is left uncovered with skin, waiting for the formation of granulations, then after a certain period, due to retraction of the soft tissues, a bare end of the bone appears in the wound. The thin scar tissue covering the bone has no tactile sensitivity, is painful and prone to ulceration, which impairs the function of the entire hand.

2. In the presence of severe injuries of the fingers without disarticulation, there may be finger amputation. According to Ennis and Huber, finger amputation is indicated in the following cases:
a) in the presence of heavily contaminated crushed tissues, the blood supply of which is unsatisfactory, and the possibilities of restoring function are extremely minimal;
b) in the presence of multiple fractures, displacement of fragments, when as a result of restoration it is possible to obtain only a crooked fixed finger (with the exception of the thumb);
c) in the presence of tendon injury with an unfavorable prognosis; d) in case of damage to the joints, the restoration of which will inevitably be accompanied by their immobility, which disrupts the function of the remaining fingers;
e) in the presence of damage to the joints, leading to necrosis.

3. Amputation level selection. Amputation, as a rule, is performed according to the level of damage, and only if there are sufficient indications can it be performed at the level chosen by the surgeon. Long finger injuries are often treated too conservatively. Fingers, on which secondary deformations can form in the form of curvature, immobility, sensitive scars fused with surrounding tissues, or in the form of an improperly growing nail, interfere more with the work process than if they were absent.

To reduce pain, sits down and rises from a chair, leaning on his hands. On external examination, there is a small hematoma in the coccyx area, palpation of this area is painful. No other visible changes were found.

D.S. Closed fracture of the coccyx. (S39)

Fractura ossis coccygis clausa.

The victim leaned sharply to the right while trying to lift a large load and at the moment of strong muscle tension felt a crunch in the lower back and severe pain. On external examination, the body is tilted to the right. Movement in the lumbar region is limited. When you try to straighten up or bend to the left, pain appears at the site of injury. The lumbar region on the right is swollen and painful on palpation. Lying on his back due to severe pain, the patient cannot raise the straightened right leg. He only bends it at the knee joint, while the foot slides along the couch and does not come off the couch (symptom of "stuck heel").

D.S. Closed fracture of the right transverse process of the 2nd lumbar vertebra. (S22)

Fractura clausa processus transversi dextri vertebrae thoracicae secundae.

The victim fell from a height of more than 3 meters on his heels, while he did not have time to bend his legs at the knee joints. As a result of the fall, the victim developed severe pain in the lumbar spine, aggravated by torso movements (anterior-posterior and lateral tilts, rotations around the axis).

During external examination, the lumbar lordosis is noticeably smoothed, the spinous process of the 1st lumbar vertebra is somewhat protruded outward, painful when tapped on it with fingers, the back muscles are tense ("muscular protection"). Movement in the lumbar spine is limited due to pain. With a load along the axis of the spine (pressing the palms on the shoulders or lightly tapping on the heels of straightened legs), the pain in the damaged vertebra increases sharply. Palpation of the spinous processes of the lumbar region at the moment when the patient lies on his back and slowly raises his straightened legs is painful (Silin's symptom). There are no neurological symptoms.

The basic principle of truncation of the fingers is maximum economy, cutting off only non-viable areas while preserving, if possible, the places of attachment of the tendons. In the presence of a skin defect, local tissue grafting or primary transplantation of a free skin flap or a skin flap on a leg is used.

The position of the patient on the back, the hand is taken to the side table and pronated.

Anesthesia: for amputation of the phalanges of the fingers - local anesthesia according to Lukashevich - Oberst (Fig. 161); with exarticulation of the fingers - conduction anesthesia according to Brown - Usoltseva at the level of the middle third of the intercarpal spaces or in the wrist area. According to Lukashevich - Oberst, the needle is injected into the base of the back surface of the finger and a stream of 0.5 - 1% novocaine solution is directed to the dorsal and palmar neurovascular bundles. After introducing 10-15 ml of the solution, a rubber flagellum is applied to the base of the finger.

Amputation of the distal (nail) phalanx.

The incision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue is started from the palmar side, stepping back from the cut line of the terminal phalanx by the length of its diameter. Cut out the palmar flap. On the back of the nail phalanx, the skin with subcutaneous tissue is cut along the bone at the level of the cut. Having pulled back the soft tissues, the destroyed distal part of the phalanx is sawn off with a Gigli saw, and the edges of the palmar flap and the dorsal incision are sutured with silk sutures. The hand and the operated finger are immobilized in a state of slight flexion.

Exarticulation of the distal (nail) phalanx. An incision of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, tendons and articular bag on the back side is carried out along the projection of the interphalangeal joint, which is determined along a line drawn from the middle of the lateral surface of the middle phalanx to the rear of the removed phalanx on the maximum bent finger. Scissors inserted into the joint cavity are dissected. lateral ligaments, after which the joint is fully opened. With a scalpel placed on the palmar surface of the dissected phalanx, a palmar flap is separated from it, equal in length to the diameter of the finger at the site of disarticulation. As a result of this technique, the palmar flap is full-thick at its base, and disappears towards the end, so that only the epidermis layer remains in the flap, which, when sewing up the wound, can easily be adapted to the skin of the dorsal incision (Fig. 162).

Minor bleeding is stopped by applying silk sutures to the edges of skin incisions. The hand and finger in a slightly bent position are placed on the tire.

Dissection of the middle phalanx. It differs from the previously described course of the operation in that after the removal of the phalanx in the dorsal margin and the palmar flap, the digital neurovascular bundles are found and the arteries are grasped with clamps, marking the nerves located next to the vessels.

Two dorsal and two palmar digital nerves are carefully isolated above the bone level and cut off with a safety razor blade. After that, the vessels are tied up, the wound is sutured.

Articulation of the fingers

When isolating a finger, the scar, if possible, is placed on a non-working surface: for III- IV fingers such a surface is the back, for II - radial and dorsal, for V - ulnar and dorsal, for I finger - dorsal and radial (Fig. 163).

IsolationIIAndVfingers according to Farabeu.

The incision of the skin, subcutaneous tissue starts from the rear II fingers from the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint and lead to the middle of the radial edge of the main phalanx and further along the palmar side to the ulnar edge of the metacarpophalangeal joint until the incision begins on the back. A similar incision begins on the back of the fifth finger from the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint, leads to the middle of the ulnar edge of the main phalanx, and ends on the palmar side at the radial edge of the metacarpophalangeal joint. After separating and turning away the skin-cellular flaps, the extensor tendon is dissected distally to the metacarpal head, then the metacarpophalangeal joint is opened with scissors and the lateral ligaments are cut from the side of the joint cavity. After opening the joint capsule on the palmar side, the flexor tendons are dissected somewhat distally. Focusing on the projection of the palmar and dorsal neurovascular bundles, the arteries are found and captured with hemostatic clamps; near them, they are dissected from fiber and cut off above the heads of the metacarpal bones, the digital nerves - dorsal and palmar. The flexor and extensor tendons may be sutured. The head of the metacarpal bone remains: its preservation due to the integrity of the ligaments of the inter- and metacarpal joints will provide a better restoration of the function of the hand.

The wound is sutured so that the flaps cover the head of the metacarpal bone. The shape of the soft tissue incision can be changed depending on the indications for dissection II and V fingers, the tissue defect can be closed by primary plasty.

IsolationIII - IVfingers with a slit in the shape of a racket. The incision in the form of a racket starts at the rear of the metacarpal bone, leads obliquely along the lateral side of the main phalanx to the palmar surface, then along the palmo-finger fold and along the other side of the main phalanx to a longitudinal incision on the back. Skin-subcutaneous-but-fat flaps are separated from the metacarpal bone and from the main phalanx, pulled in the proximal direction with hooks. Distal to the head of the metacarpal bone, the extensor tendon is dissected, then, pulling the finger to be dissected, the joint capsule is dissected with scissors on the dorsal, lateral and palmar surfaces. The flexor tendons and all tissues on which the finger is still held are crossed, and then it is removed. The digital vessels are seized with hemostatic clamps and, having isolated the digital nerves from the surrounding tissues, they are cut off proximal to the metacarpal head. Ligate the vessels. The flexor and extensor tendons are sutured over the metacarpal head. The wound is sutured in layers. The brush is laid in a bent position on the tire.

IsolationIfingers according to Malgen. An incision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue in the form of an ellipse from the metacarpophalangeal joint on the back of the hand is led almost to the interphalangeal fold on the palmar surface and further to the beginning of the incision on the back. Then, by pulling the removed finger and moving the edge of the dorsal incision with a hook, it is possible to open the metacarpophalangeal joint. The scalpel is brought to the palmar surface and directed at dissection of the palmar part of the articular capsule at an angle of 45° with respect to the metacarpal bone with the tip distally. This is the most important moment of the operation, which allows you to save the attachment of the muscles of the first finger to the sesamoid bones located on the anterior surface of the joint capsule. The flexor and extensor tendons of the first finger are sutured, the wound is sutured. With the removal of the first finger, the function of the hand is impaired by 50 %. In these cases, phalangization of the first metacarpal bone is used for correction.

3. Operations for femoral hernia access to hernia gate can be divided into two groups: femoral and inguinal.

Operation Bassini. Use access to the femoral canal from the side of its external opening. The skin incision is made parallel to and below the projection of the inguinal ligament. The stage of searching for a hernial sac in obese patients can present significant difficulties. It is easier to detect it if you invite the patient to strain or cough. Carefully release the hernial sac from fatty tissue and surrounding fascial membranes. The hernial sac is isolated as high as possible, opened, sutured and cut off. When isolating the hernial sac, it should be remembered that the bladder may be located on the medial side, and the femoral vein laterally. The hernial orifice is closed by suturing the inguinal and pubic (Cooper) ligaments. In total, 3-4 sutures are applied, controlling whether the femoral vein is compressed. The femoral canal is sutured with the second row of sutures between the falciform edge of the wide fascia of the thigh and the pectinate fascia.

Currently, preference is given to inguinal methods for the treatment of inguinal hernias, the main advantages of which are recognized as high ligation of the hernial sac, convenient and reliable suturing of the internal opening of the femoral canal. This approach is especially indicated for incarcerated femoral hernias, when wide access may be required for bowel resection.

Operation Ruggi-Parlavecchio. The skin incision is made parallel to and above the inguinal ligament (as in an inguinal hernia). The aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle is opened (i.e., they enter the inguinal canal). Expose the inguinal gap. Dissect the transverse fascia in the longitudinal direction. Pushing the preperitoneal tissue, the neck of the hernial sac is isolated. The hernial sac is removed from the femoral canal, opened, stitched at the neck and removed. The hernia gate is closed by suturing the internal oblique, transverse muscles, the upper edge of the transverse fascia with the pubic and inguinal ligaments. If necessary, the internal opening of the inguinal canal is sutured to a normal size, applying additional sutures to the transverse fascia. The spermatic cord (or round ligament of the uterus) is placed on the muscles. The dissected aponeurosis of the external oblique / abdominal muscles is sutured with the formation of a duplication.

4. TOPOGRAPHY OF THE PERINE,REGIOPERINEALIS

The perineum closes the exit from the pelvic cavity, being its lower wall. The crotch area has the shape of a rhombus.

The following formations are external landmarks: the lower edge of the pubic symphysis is palpated in front, the tip of the coccyx is posterior, and the ischial tubercles are palpable from the sides. The perineum is separated from the medial sections of the thigh region by a perineal-femoral fold. The lower edges of the large

gluteal muscles. Obstetric perineum - the area between the posterior commissure of the labia majora and the anus. The line connecting the ischial tubercles, both the male and female perineum is conditionally divided into two unequal triangles: the anterior one is the genitourinary region, regio urogenitalis, and the posterior one is the anal region, regio analis.

The genitourinary region (triangle) is limited in front of angulus subpubicus with lig. arcuatum pubis (in women - arcus pubis), behind - a conditional line connecting the ischial tubercles, from the sides - the lower branches of the pubic and ischial bones. In this triangle is the urogenital diaphragm of the pelvis, diaph-ragma urogenitale, through which the vagina and urethra pass in women, and the urethra in men.

The boundaries of the anal area (triangle) are in front - a conditional line connecting the ischial tubercles; behind - coccygeal bone; from the sides - sacrotuberous ligaments.

In this triangle is the pelvic diaphragm, diaphragma pelvis, through which the rectum passes.

The perineum also includes the external male and female genital organs. The skin in the perineal area is thinner, thickens in the center towards its lateral sections. In men, between the root of the scrotum and the anus is the perineal suture, raphe perinei. Around the anus there are radially located skin folds due to the fusion of the muscle fibers of the external sphincter of the anus with the skin. The skin contains a large number of sebaceous and sweat glands and is covered with hair. Subcutaneous fatty tissue and superficial fascia are more pronounced in the posterior perineum. The branches of the ilioinguinal nerve, n. ilio-inguinalis, the pudendal nerve, n. pudendus, and the perineal branch of the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh r are involved in the innervation of the skin of the perineum. perinealis n. cutanei femoris posterioris. The blood supply to this area is carried out by the internal pudendal artery. The outflow of blood occurs through the vein of the same name into the internal iliac vein, the outflow of lymph - into the inguinal lymph nodes.

Genitourinary triangle (Fig. 121). In the subcutaneous tissue there is a weakly expressed sheet of superficial fascia. The fascia of the genitourinary triangle is a thin loose transparent sheet that forms cases for the superficial layer of muscles located in the form of paired triangles: the bulbous-spongy muscle, m. bulbospongiosus; laterally - ischiocavernosus muscle, in. ischio-cavernosus; behind - superficial transverse muscle of the perineum, m. transversus perinei superficialis. Under the ischiocavernosus muscles, which are located along the inferomedial edges of the pubic-ischial branches of the pelvic bone, in men there are legs of the male penis, crura penis, in women - cmra clitoridis. In the center of the male urogenital triangle, under the bulbous-spongy muscle, lies the bulb of the male penis, bulbus penis. Under the base of this bulb, next to it in the thickness of the diaphragm are the bulbous urethral glands, gll. bulbourethrales (Cooperi).

Under each of m. bulbospongiosus in women is the bulb of the vestibule, bulbus ves-tibuli, which has a powerful venous plexus (corresponds to the bulb of the penis).

Muscle bundles m. bulbospongiosus in the posterior section are attached to the tendon center of the perineum, centrum tendineum perinei. Here, in this central fascial node of the perineum, the fibers m are woven, crossing. sphincter ani externus, and so on. transversus perinei superficialis. This area of ​​interweaving of muscle fibers, reinforced by tendon fibers, determines the functional interdependence of the muscles in this area and is a guideline for surgical interventions. Under the fascia of the urogenital triangle are the terminal branches of a. et v. pudendae internae and p. pudendus (a. dorsalis penis and p. dorsalis penis) (Fig. 122). Deeper than the surface layer of muscles lies the lower fascia of the urogenital diaphragm (perineal membrane), fascia diaphragmatis urogenitalis inferior (membrana perinei), then the deep transverse perineal muscle, m. transversus perinei profundus. Its muscle bundles are located transversely and cover the membranous part of the urethra in men (the urethra and vagina in women) from all sides, forming a ring - a pulp. The upper surface of the t. transversus perinei profundus is covered with the upper fascia of the urogenital diaphragm, fascia diaphragm atis urogenitalis superior, which is part of the pelvic fascia. The lower and upper fascia of the urogenital diaphragm fuse along the anterior and posterior edges of the deep transverse perineal muscle. Hence the possibility of long-term accumulation of pus in this closed space with its breakthrough into the urethra. In front of the fascia of the diaphragm form the transverse ligament of the perineum, lig. transversum perinei, which does not reach the subpubic angle. Slightly higher is lig. arcuatum pubis. In the gap between these ligaments in men passes v. dorsalis penis profunda, and in women - v. dorsalis clitoridis profunda.

Anal triangle of the perineum

IN the center of the region is the anal opening of the rectum, surrounded by semi-oval muscle bundles of the external sphincter of the anus (m. sphincter ani externus). The anterior section of this muscle is fused with the tendon center of the perineum, the posterior - with lig. anococcygeum. Lateral to the external sphincter of the anus, there is an abundant layer of fatty tissue that fills the ischiorectal fossa. This fiber is a continuation of the subcutaneous fat layer without clear boundaries between them.

ischiorectal fossa,fossaischio- rectalis. Paired, triangular-shaped spaces located on the sides of the pro-perineal part of the rectum. The boundaries of the ischiorectal fossa are from the inside t. sphincter ani externus, outside - tuber ischii, in front - t. transversus perinei superficialis, behind - the lower edge of t. gluteus maximus. The walls of the fossa are laterally - the lower 2 / s m. obturatorius internus, covered with a strong parietal fascia of the pelvis, in the splitting of which the genital neurovascular bundle (genital canal, canalis pudendalis) passes, from above and from the inside - the diaphragm of the pelvis, i.e. the lower surface of m. levator ani, covered with the lower fascia of the pelvic diaphragm, fascia diaphragmatis pelvis inferior. The muscle goes obliquely from top to bottom, outside and medially and forms an angle open downwards with the plane of the lateral wall of the fossa. Along the junction of the fascia is the tendinous arch of the fascia of the pelvis, arcus tendineus fasciae pelvis (lateral fascial node of the small pelvis). In its education take part

the fascia of the obturator internus muscle and the superior and inferior fasciae of the pelvic diaphragm. The depth of the fossa from the surface of the skin to the top of the angle in an adult is 5.0-7.5 cm. It gradually decreases anteriorly, where it is 2.5 cm. muscles, - gluteal pocket, recessus glutealis. The latter corresponds to the lower part of the deep cellular space of the gluteal region at the level of the subpiriform opening. The ischiorectal fossa may be the site of the formation of purulent accumulations (para-proctitis). Through it, in some cases, it is necessary to open the phlegmon of the subperitoneal cellular spaces of the small pelvis.

The genital neurovascular bundle emerges from the gluteal region through the small sciatic foramen and passes in the splitting of the obturator fascia (genital canal) 4-5 cm above the lower edge of the ischial tuberosity (landmark for blockade of the pudendal nerve during labor pain relief).

Under the posterior half of the sacrotuberous ligament, perforating the obturator fascia, almost in the frontal plane, the lower rectal neurovascular bundle is sent to the anus, a. et v. rectales inferiores, nn. rectales inferiores - branches of the genital neurovascular bundle. Their topography should be taken into account during operations for paraproctitis and purulent streaks from the subperitoneal floor of the pelvis. The internal pudendal artery and pudendal nerve give branches to the skin of the perineum, scrotum, penis (in women - to the labia majora, clitoris).
