ObjectiveTo follow-up pain after discharged in patients with liver resection and provide a reference to carry out the continued pain treatment outside the hospital. MethodsPost-discharged pain follow-up in patients with liver resection in our department from December 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015 were conducted, and the pain incidence, characteristics and level on 14 days, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after operation were understanded. Results①The pain score of patients on 14 days after operation was 0-3 points, which was mild pain. In 2 months after operation, 24 patients still had pain, the incidence was 20.69% (24/116). In 3 months after operation, the pain incidence was 18.97% (22/116).②There was no significant difference in the pain incidence between men and women in 2 months after operation (P > 0.05). In 3 months after operation, the pain incidence of male and female patients was 13.04% (9/69) and 27.66% (13/47), respectively, the pain incidence of female was significantly higher than men (P < 0.05).③The postoperative pain score and incidence in patients more than 60 years old were lower than that in patients less than 60 years old, but the score and the incidence of postoperative pain in patients with different ages were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).④In chronic pain patients, 81.82% (18/22) were visceral pain, 18.182% (4/22) were skin tingling or numbness. ConclusionWe should focus on the continued pain treatment outside the hospital in patients with hepatic resection, make efforts to alleviate pain, and improve the postoperative quality of life.
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.
In order to observe the morphological feature and blood supply of the pedicled trapezius myocutaneous flap, dissection was carried out on 114 sides of 54 cadavers. It was demostrated that trapezius muscle had multiple sources for its blood supply, including (1) dorsal scapular artery; (2)transvers cervical artery; (3) occipital artery and (4)spinal perforating artery. The dorsal scapular artery may originate from the same stem with the transvers cervical artery (68.4%), or originate seperatly (31.6%). Thirteen patients had radical resection for malignant tumour of head and neck, and were combined with pedicled trapezius myocutaneous flap, in which 6 with upper trapezius myocutaneous flap and 7 with lower trapezius myocutaneous flap. The results were fairly good. the advantages and disadvantages of the lower and upper trapezius myocutaneous flaps as well as the pectorlis major myocutaneous flap were discussed.
ObjectiveTo investigate the cause of stoma recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer and discover the methods of prevention and treatment.MethodsA total 91 patients with stoma recurrence after anterior resection of rectal cancer (or Dixon) were analysed retrospectively between 1985 and 1996. Fourtyseven patients experienced reradical resection (Miles), 27 cases palliative resection, and 11 cases only exploration. Thirtytwo cases had been followed up for 5 years and obtained 1，3，5year survival rate for reradical radical resection (Miles). Diagnosis and treatment of stomal recurrence after Dixon were evaluated. ResultsOne, three and fiveyear survival rate of reradical resection (Miles) was 93%，77%，45% respectively.ConclusionTo amplify blindly the adaptation of Dixon is to raise the rate of stoma recurrence. Digital rectal examination and fiberopic colonoscopy (and biopsy) are very essential methods for the diagnosis of stoma recurrence, and we strive to do reradical resection (Miles) for the patients with stoma recurrence after Dixon’s operation.
Objective To evaluate the results of the reconstruction of the soft tissue defects following the en block resection of tongue cancer using free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flaps. Methods From November 2006 to December 2008, 109 cases underwent the reconstruction of the soft tissue defects following the en block resection of tongue cancer using free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flaps. There were 75 males and 34 females with an age of 23-75 years (50.4 yearson average). The disease course was 1-6 months. According to 2002 International Union Control Cancer (IUCC) criterionfor TNM stage, there were 35 cases of T2N0M0, 8 cases of T2N1M0, 2 cases of T2N2M0, 31 cases of T3N0M0, 12 cases of T3N1M0, 7 cases of T3N2M0, 5 cases of T4N0M0, 4 cases of T4N1M0, 3 cases of T4N2M0, and 2 cases of T4N3M0. The range of tongue defect was 5 cm × 3 cm to 12 cm × 8 cm. The flap area ranged from 7 cm × 4 cm to 20 cm × 8 cm. Eighty-two patients with T3, T4 and positive lymph node metastasis determined by pathological examination after operation received radiotherapy. The vital ity of the flaps and the heal ing of the wounds were observed postoperatively. The shape and function of the reconstructed tongue were determined, the influences on function at donor site were evaluated and the flap tolerance to radiotherapy was investigated during the follow-up period. Results Mouth floor mandibular fistula occurred in 5 cases 5-7 days after operation, seroma formation in 1 case and wound dehiscence in another case at the donor site; the wounds healed by secondary intention after dressing. The other wounds healed primarily. All 105 flaps survived completely, 3 flaps developed partial necrosis 3-5 days after operation, the wounds healed after dressing; and 1 flap failed 3 days after operation, then it was removed and defects was repaired using pectoral is major muscle flap. Bl isters occurred in 8 flaps (all being thinning flaps) 1 day after operation. The overall complete survival of the flap was 96.3% (105/109). The patients were followed up for 0.5-2.5 years (1.2 years onaverage). Although the flaps had a l ittle atrophy, the shape of the reconstructed tongue was still satisfactory with suitable tonguemandibular groove. No depression was observed in the mandibular region. The speech as well as swallowing function were well recovered. The scar was easily hidden with no important functional impairment at the donor site. No flap necrosis occurred in all the patients who received postoperative radiotherapy. Conclusion Free anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap transplantation is safe and rel iable, and it has the advantages of the better result at the recipient site, the less morbidity at the donor site, fewer postoperative compl ications and excellent tolerance to radiotherapy. So it is an ideal flap to repair soft tissue defects following the en block resection of tongue cancer.
Objective To investigate the impact of conversion to open in laparoscopic rectal cancer radical resection (LRR) on postoperative recovery. Methods The data from Feb. 2003 to Feb. 2007 of 176 cases who were given LRR and 32 cases receiving conversion in LRR (CRR) were analyzed retrospectively, and were compared about operation time, hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses, intraoperative blood loss, recovery time of bowel movement and postoperative complications with 59 cases of open rectal cancer radical resection (ORR). Results There were no differences among LRR, CRR and ORR about operation time, hospitalization time, intraoperative blood loss and recovery time of bowel movement (Pgt;0.05). The hospitalization expenses of LRR and CRR were higher than that of ORR (P=0.001, P=0.001), there was no difference between CRR and LRR (P=0.843). But the postoperative complications rate of ORR was higher than those of LRR and CRR （P=0.023,P=0.004）. Conclusion Compared with ORR, LRR has relatively conversion rate, and then increases the hospitalization expenses.
Objective To explore the feasibility and short-term effectiveness of the modified radical resection and reconstruction in the treatment of malignant proximal humerus tumor. Methods The relevant anatomic data from 30 normal adult shoulder joint MRI were measured to analyze the feasibility of modified radical resection and reconstruction surgery in the treatment of malignant proximal humerus tumor. Five patients with malignant proximal humerus tumor were treated by using the modified radical resection and reconstruction surgery between March 2012 and January 2016. There were 1 male and 4 females, aged from 9 to 69 years (median, 46 years). There were 4 cases of osteosarcoma (Enneking IIA in 2 cases and Enneking IIB in 2 cases) and 1 case of metastatic carcinoma (moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma). The disease duration was 7 to 12 months (mean, 9 months). Recurrence of tumor was observed after operation, and the shoulder function was assessed according to Enneking skeletal muscle tumor function scoring system. Results Radiographic results showed that modified radical resection and reconstruction surgery was feasible, which was in allowable range of the maximum longitudinal diameter ( < 29.8 mm) and depth ( < 4 mm). The operation was successfully completed in all 5 cases, and pathological examination suggested that purposes of radical resection had achieved. All patients were followed up 3 to 49 months (mean, 15.6 months). One patient had local recurrence at 12 months after operation, and a shoulder joint amputation was performed; the other 4 patients had good prosthesis survival. At last follow-up, the function of the shoulder joint was obviously recovered when compared with preoperative function; Enneking's skeletal muscle tumor function score was 25.8 points (range, 24 to 27 points). Conclusion Modified radical resection and reconstruction surgery is feasible for the treatment of proximal humerus tumor, and it can maintain a good early shoulder function.
ObjectiveTo summarize a patient diagnosed as Bismuth type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma who unerwent the curative surgery combined with partial portal vein resection and reconstruction+hilar bile duct formation+Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy, meanwhile we reviewed the current status of surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma at home and abroad.MethodsTo retrospectively summarized and analyzed the clinical data of one case of Bismuth type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The preoperative total bilirubin of this patient was 346.8 μmol/L, and this patient underwent the curative surgery combined with partial portal vein resection and reconstruction+hilar bile duct formation+Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy after reducing jaundice by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). Then we retrieved domestic and foreign related literatures.ResultsOperative time of this patient was about 290 min and intraoperative bleeding was about 350 mL. No intraoperative blood transfusion occurred. The results of pathological examination showed middle-differentiatied adenocarcinoma of hilar bile duct with negative tumor margins and no regional lymph node metastasis (0/14). The postoperative recovery was uneventful with hospital stay time of 9 days and without any complication. The patient had been followed-up in the outpatient department for 3 years,and was generally in good condition. The evidence of recurrence or metastasis wasn’t found.ConclusionsPre-operative biliary drainage can improve the safety of operation and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, extend liver resection for the patient with Bismuth type Ⅲa hilar cholangiocarcinoma, which can improve R0 resection rate and extend postoperative survival.
Objective To evaluate therapeutic effect of tile shape perineal stapled prolapse resection in treatment of rectal prolapse. Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with rectal prolapse underwent tile shape perineal stapled prolapse resection in the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2013 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients with rectal prolapse were performed the tile shape perineal stapled prolapse resection with general anesthesia and (or) epidural anesthesia. The prolapse was completely pulled out and then axially cut open with a linear stapler in the lithotomy position. Finally, the prolapse was resected stepwise with the curved stapler at the prolapse’s uptake. Results There were 8 males and 23 females in the 31 patients. The age was (65.8±3.2) years old. There were 14 patients with Ⅱ degree and 17 patients with Ⅲ degree prolapses. The median course was 5.8 years. The 31 patients were followed up for 0.5–7.0 months. Of 31 cases, the 24 cases were cured and 7 cases were better. It was found out that there was a significant difference between the number of axially cut open with a linear stapler and the weight of specimen (P<0.05). And there was a significant difference between the number of axially cut open with a linear stapler and the recurrence (P<0.05) too. When the number of axially cut open with a linear stapler were 4 for Ⅱ degree and 3 for Ⅲ degree, the treatment had been proved to be the highest efficacy. Conclusions Preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that tile shape perineal stapled prolapse resection is safe and effective in treatment of rectal prolapsed. Key of operation is that prolapse is completely pulled out and then axially cut open with a linear stapler at some o’clock for 2–4 points and rectal valves are formed. Prolapsed is resected stepwise with curved stapler at prolapse’s uptake. When number of axially cut open with a linear stapler are 4 for Ⅱ degree and 3 for Ⅲ degree, it could achieve the best therapeutic effect.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore the effect of surgical treatment of metastatic hepatic cancer. MethodsTwo hundred and eight patients with metastatic hepatic cancer received surgical treatment in our department during the past seven years, and their information were analyzed retrospectively in this paper. The ages of these patients ranged from 19 years to 82 years, and 133 of them were male, 75 of them were female. Two of them were complicated with hepatocirrhosis, and 5 with polycystic liver. The metastatic cancer originated from gastrointestinal tract in 121 cases (58.2%), and from other parts of the body in 87 cases (41.8%). One hundred and sixteen of the patients received resection treatment (resection group), and 92 of them received nonresecton treatment (nonresection group). The survival rates of the two groups were compared through Chi square test.ResultsThe 1, 3 and 5year survival rates for all patients were 56.3%,23.1% and 13.0%, respectively. The 1, 3 and 5year survival rates were 74.1%,39.7% and 23.3% in the resection group respectively and 33.7%， 2.2% and 0 in the nonresection group， respectively. Resection group had a higher survival rate than that of the nonresection group (P＜0.05). The main postoperative complications include pulmonary infection (6 cases), subphrenic infection (2 cases), incisional infection (4 cases).ConclusionSurgical resection is an effective treatment method for the patients with metastatic hepatic cancer. Resection should be conducted as long as they could withstand the surgery.
