[Combined operations as a method for increasing the capacity of a surgical clinic]

The work shows the economical effect of concurrent surgery on the abdominal organs and organs of the retroperitoneal space undertaken in 404 patients whose ages ranged from 16 to 81. The time taken by the concurrent operations and the duration of treatment at the hospital were studied. In 63.1% of patients the concurrent operations lasted up to 3 hours. The duration of treatment was least in concurrent appendectomy (14.2 +/- 0.5 days) and longest on oncological patients (40.9 +/- 2.2 days). It is noted that the sum terms of treatment reduce, while in separate performance of the operations they are prolonged. The highest economy of finances is noted in urolithiasis, nephroptosis, acute appendicitis, hernias, and cholelithiasis. The national economic effect in the treatment of 404 patients at the clinic came to 60,471 rubles and 18 kopecks.
