Thompson-Reisbeck Operation

Thompson-Rusbroeck operation - a surgical operation used to treat congenital and acquired cryptorchidism, which is the reduction of the testicle into the scrotum.

The operation was developed in 1905 by surgeon John Ruysbroeck and his student Thomas Thompson.

To perform the operation, a special instrument is used - a cryptocectomy, which allows you to move the testicle from the abdominal cavity to the groin area. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and can be performed either open or closed.

The main advantage of the Thompson-Rysbrook procedure is that it preserves spermatogenic function in male patients, which may be important for future children. However, the operation may have a number of complications, such as damage to the spermatic cord or scrotal skin, so the risks and benefits must be carefully assessed before undergoing the operation.

Overall, the Thompson-Risebrook procedure is considered one of the most effective and safe operations for the treatment of cryptorchidism in men.

Thompson-Reisbeck surgery is a surgical procedure that is used to treat Reissners disease, also known as an anal fistula, a canal that connects the rectum to the skin around the anus. This disease is common in children and can lead to serious complications such as infection, inflammation and even bowel prolapse.

The history of the Thompson-Reisbeck procedure began in the late 19th century, when an American surgeon named William P. Thompson developed a technique to create an artificial channel between the rectum and the skin around the anus to close the opening of the fistula. He named his procedure the Thompson operation, after himself, who first used it in 1893 to treat a girl suffering from Reissner's disease.

After some time, the American surgeon Harry Reisbeck improved the Thompson procedure and changed some parameters of the procedure itself, calling it the Thompson Reisbeck operation. Reisbeck added the importance of using disinfectants before surgery to reduce the risk of infection and other complications. The Thompson–Reisbeck procedure was widely used until recently, when new treatment methods became available. The prognosis for patients with Reissens disease has now improved significantly thanks to new treatments that avoid surgery unless the disease is advanced. Patients usually undergo treatment
