ObjectiveTo further explore and discuss the value of laparoscopic appendectomy. MethodsThe clinical data of 200 patients underwent appendectomy in this hospital from April 2009 to December 2010 were collected. The operation time, postoperative hospital stay, cost of hospitalization, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative pain score, and surgical complications were compared between laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy. ResultsThere were 8 cases conversion to the open approach in this series. The cost of laparoscopic appendectomy was higher than that of open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); the cases of chronic appendicitis, acute simple appendicitis, acute suppurative appendicitis within 36 h of onset treated by laparoscopic appendectomy had shorter operation time, shorter postoperative hospital stay, earlier postoperative anal exhaust time, and slighter postoperative pain than those treated by open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); the differences in postoperative hospital stay, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative pain of acute suppurative appendicitis more than 36 h of onset and acute gangrenous appendicitis treated by two types of surgery had no statistical significances (Pgt;0.05); the operation time of acute gangrenous appendicitis operated by laparoscopic surgery was longer than that by open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); incision infection rate of laparoscopic appendectomy was lower than that of open appendectomy (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsFor chronic appendicitis, acute simple appendicitis, and acute suppurative appendicitis within 36 h of onset, the outcome and advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy are outstanding, the value of application is clear; and for acute suppurative appendicitis more than 36 h of onset and acute gangrenous appendicitis, laparoscopic appendectomy is difficult and with high rate of conversion, no obvious advantages in recovery after surgery but an increase of medical costs, and the application value is not great.
The effect of proximal subtotal or total gastrectomy by choosing abdominal median incision plus left 7-9 ribs resection in 32 cases of upper gastric cancer had been studied. There was 1 case of residual tumor cells at the esophageal margin, 1 case of hydrothorax and hydrops of costal bed, no costal chondritis, pneumothorax and fistula formation. We consider that it is better to choose abdominal median incision plus left ribs resection in patients with upper gastric cancer in which subphrenic esophageal invasion is under 2cm of length and the function of heart or lung is severely damaged.
Objective To explore the safety, effectiveness, operation mode and clinical value of the laparoscopic colorectal resection. Methods The clinical data and experiences of laparoscopic resection for 18 cases with colorectal neoplasm from Jun. 2007 to Mar. 2008 were studied retrospectively. Results Among 18 cases, there were 5 cases of rectal cancer, 6 cases of sigmoid colon carcinoma, 2 cases of sigmoid colonic polyp, 2 cases of descending colon carcinoma, 2 cases of ascending colon carcinoma and 1 case of ascending colonic lipoma. Fifteen cases of laparoscopic colorectal resection were performed successfully, including Dixon procedure 4 cases, Miles operation 1 case, radical resection of sigmoid colon 5 cases, palliative resection of sigmoid colon 2 cases, left hemicolectomy 2 cases and right hemicolectomy 1 case. Three cases converted to laparotomy due to adiposity or advanced status of local disease. Average intraoperative blood loss was 110 ml. The average number of lymph nodes dissected was 13.5. It took about 40 hours to restore intestinal function. The average time of hospitalization was 9 days. No one died during operation and no complications such as anastomotic leakage and postoperative hemorrhage occurred. Conclusion Laparoscopic resection for colorectal neoplasms possesses less trauma and rapid postoperative recovery. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe and effective with skill and indication.
From Jan. 1, 1990 to Dec. 30, 1994, 38 patients with mammary duct ectasia admited to our hospital, for whom the diagnoses were confirmed by pathological examination of surgical specimens. Intensive literature review was made together with 569 cases of this group were summarized in terms of clinical features of the disease. Tumor-like mass is a most common sign (78.21%), and the other clinical features are: nipple discharge (28.47%), nipple retraction (21.79%), axillary node enlargement (15.82%), skin adhesion (11.25%) and breast fistula (3.87%). Surgical excision of the mass is the unique effective treatment of chioce. 24 out of 38 cases were misdiagnosed other than mammary duct ectasia. Careful clinical observation and examination may reduce the chance of misdiagnosis.
Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of distal phalanx of great toe and soft tissue orthopaedics for treatment of obstinateingrown nail. Methods From October 1997 to May 2006,31 patients(38 nails) suffering from obstinate ingrown nail were treated by the distal phalanx of great toe and soft tissue orthopaedics. There were 23 males(27 nails) and 8 females(11 nails) with an average age of 17.5 years(12-28 years). The disease course was 2years and 1 month to 14 years(average, 31-6 months). At the same time, thirty-eight patients with diseases of feet were selected randomly as controls. The depth of the nail groove was measured.The X-ray films were taken to calculate the rate of upward projection of tuberosity (r). Results Thedepth of the nail and r value of 31 patients were 2.87±0.31 mm and 0.149±0.013，respectively. There were statistically significant differences when compared with control group（1.06±0.10 mm and 0.060±0.019）（Plt;0.01）. Thirty patients(37 nails) had a primary healing; 1 patient(1 nail) had a delayed healing. Twenty-nine patients(36 nails) were followed up for 8 to 29 months(average, 21 months). The appearance of the nail was satisfactory. No relapse occurred in all patients. Conclusion The upward projection of tuberosity of distal phalanx of great toe and deepened nail groove are the most important anatomical causes for ingrown nail. The distal phalanx of great toe and soft tissue orthopaedics is aneffective treatment for obstinate ingrown nail.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance and effect for surgery of Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma. MethodsEightytwo cases of Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma who underwent surgery from 1991 to 1998 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsTwentyone patients experienced extended resections,29 patients palliative resection, 19 patients sideside anastomosis and 13 patients laparotomy and biopsy of the tumor. Patients with extended resections had significantly long survival time, quality of life in these patients were excellent in 71.4%, good in 23.8%, and fair in 4.8%; whereas quality of life in the group with palliative resections were excellent in 62.1%, good in 17.2%, fair in 13.8%, and poor in 6.9%. The other two groups had a bad postoperative effect, short survival time and poor quality of life. ConclusionIf the patients with Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma have operative indications,surgical therapy should be actively performed and the postoperative survival rate and quality of life can be improved.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect of percutaneous lumbar discectomy (PLD) combined with sodium hyaluronate (SH) injection in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. METHODS Forty-eight patients suffered from lumbar disc herniation were divided into two groups and treated by PLD combined with SH injection into epidural cavity (treatment group) or single PLD (control group) respectively. All patients were followed up for 24 months. The therapeutic effects in both groups were assessed and compared according to Macnab’s criterion. RESULTS The patients in the treatment group got much more significant improvement than those in the control group, with shorter therapeutic course and more safety. CONCLUSION PLD combined with SH injection into epidural cavity is more effective and safety in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation than of pure PLD.
Objective To evaluate improved effect for deep venous valve function after superficial vein surgery of lower extremity in the intermediate stage. Methods Totally 43 patients (55 limbs) with varicose veins of lower extremity were enrolled to accept surgical management of vein systems in our department from March 2006 to October 2006. All patients were respectively followed up after 6 months and 4 years about the changes of deep venous valve function with color Doppler ultrasonography. Results Thirty-nine patients’ deep venous valve function kept well up to now, and there was no significant difference between the two results. Four patients without proximal saphenous vein ligation recurred, and there was reflux in deep venous. Conclusion Endovenous laser treatment and ablation of varicose veins of lower extremity with deep venous insufficiency could improve deep venous valve function effectively. Proximal great saphenous vein ligation is important for successful operation.
Ten cases of basicranial repair and reconstruction after resection of malignant tumors in nasal sinuses invading base of skull were reported. Dural repair was performed when the resected basicranial osseous lamella was less than 3 cm in diameter; when the lamella ranged from 4 to 7 cm, bone graft was not required either, the defect was repaired with either fascia lata and pericranium of pedunculated galea aponeurotica or frontal myocutaneous. No leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, cerebral hernia and intracranial infection happened postoperatively.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the operation status of the clinical departments of a hospital through the establishment of the evaluation index system and comprehensive evaluation model.MethodsThe data on workload, service difficulty, service efficiency, health economics and other related indicators of the clinical departments of a hospital from January to June 2018 were collected. The comprehensive evaluation model was constructed by comprehensive scoring method. The data of each index were centralized, then the comprehensive evaluation model of clinical departments was established and the scores were calculated by weighted summation. Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 17.0 software were used for data processing.ResultsThere were certain differences in comprehensive scores and detailed indicators among different clinical departments. Ranked by comprehensive scores, the top three surgical departments were Department of Thoracic Surgery (1.45), Department of Breast Surgery (1.32), and Department of Vascular Surgery (1.22), and the top three internal departments were Department of Oncology (5.76), Department of Cardiology (3.47), and Department of Hematology (3.41).ConclusionsIn general, there are some differences in the operating conditions among different departments. There are also differences in the detailed indicators among different departments. The results can be used to find out problems and gaps, and finally improve the operation of the departments.
