ObjectiveTo compare the effect of da Vinci Surgical System and video-assisted mini-thoractomy (VAMT) on postoperative pain of patients with lungs or mediastinal tumor. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 88 patients with lung or mediastinal tumor who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2015 through April 2015. The patients were divided into two groups including a robot group and a VAMT group. There were 49 patients in the robot group with 23 males and 26 females at age of 55.14±13.03 years and 39 patients with 23 males and 16 females at age of 56.92±8.98 years in the VAMT group. ResultsCompared with the VAMT group, shorter operation time (t=-2.298, P=0.024) and shorter time of drainage (t=-2.421, P=0.018) were found in the robot group with statistical differences. There was a statistical difference in visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of postoperative 24 hours between the robot group and the VAMT group (1.00±0.74 vs. 2.33±1.64, t=-4.704, P=0.000). While no statistical difference was found in VAS scores of postoperative 48 hours (t=-0.244, P=0.808) between the two groups. ConclusionCompared with VAMT, da Vinci Surgical System can be used in the treatment of lung and mediastinal tumor with shorter operation time, shorter time of drainage, less pain, and less invasiveness.
Objective To evaluate the curative effectiveness and safety of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) vs. radical surgery (RS) for the patients with rectal malignant tumor, and to provide information for clinical research and practice. Methods Through computer searching The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, OVID, CBM and CNKI from inception to April 2010, and hand searching relevant journals including Chinese Journal of Surgery and Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, the randomized controlled trails (RCTs) and non-randomized controlled trails (NRCTs) comparing TEM with RS for rectal malignant tumor were collected. Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews. Meta-analyses were conducted using the Cochrane collaboration’s software RevMan 5.0. Results One RCT and four NRCTs met the selection criteria, involving 929 patients. The methodological quality of all trials was low with possibility of bias. The meta-analyses showed that: a) Three studies reported local recurrence in T1 stage patients. There was a significant difference in local recurrence between the two groups (OR=12.61, 95%CI 2.59 to 61.29, P=0.002); b) Two studies reported disease-free survival in T1 stage patients. There was no significant difference between the two groups in disease-free survival (OR=1.12, 95%CI 0.31 to 4.12, P=0.86); c) Three studies reported overall survival in T1 stage patients. There was no significant difference between the two groups (OR=1.09, 95%CI 0.57 to 2.08, P=0.80); and d) Three studies reported postoperative complications in T1 stage patients. There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of complications (OR=0.05, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.10, Plt;0.00001). Conclusion For T1 stage patients, TEM is associated with less injury of tissue, less operative bleeding, short duration of hospital stay, and low incidence of postoperative complications. The disease-free and overall survivals are comparable to those of RS, but the local recurrence rate is higher. The role of TEM in T2 stage patients is still under discussion. However, the trails available for this systematic review are of lower methodological quality, and bias may exist due to NRCTs. Therefore, more high quality RCTs are required.

Methods From September 2002 to September 2007, 30 patients were treated with minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fracture. There were 16 males and 14 females with the mean age of 39.8 years (range,18-65 years). The injured level of was T11 in 3 cases, T12 in 13 cases, L1 in 12 cases, and L2 in 2 cases. The type of thoracolumbar fractures of all the patients was A3 according to AO classification. The during from injury to operation was 6 hours to 6 days with an average of 45 hours. The index of image and pain and disability index were evaluated after operation. Results All patients were followed up for 3 to 9 years with the mean of 5.2 years. Their average sliding distance after operation for removing internal fixation was (1.9 ± 0.3), and (2.1 ± 0.2) mm 2 years after the operation and (2.1 ± 0.3) mm at the latest follow-up.

Objective To evaluate the effect of endoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound on removing the injected breast augmentation agents and share our experiences. Methods Sixteen female who accepted the bilateral removal of injected breast augmentation agents through endoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound between 2008 and 2010 were enrolled in this study. The results, techniques, and advantages of management were analyzed retrospectively. Results One incision was made in 18 breasts, 2 in 4 breasts, 3 in 10 breasts. The length of incision was 0.5 to 1 cm. The mean operative time was 128.70 min per person. The average amount of bleeding was 52.67 ml per person. Complications such as postoperative bleeding, infection, poor drainage, or breast augmentation agents remain did not happened in all cases. No case was turned into normal operation. Female who accepted this operation were all satisfied with the appearance of incisions. During 1-3 months follow up, neither clinically palpable mass nor sensory disturbance in nipple or areola of breast was observed. Color Doppler ultrasound or magnetic resonance showed 16 cases had been cleared free of breast augmentation agents. Conclusion With the advantages of beauty, safe, minimal invasion, and partial resection of lesions at the same time, endoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound was an effective approach in the removal of injected breast augmentation agents.
ObjectiveTo explore the curative effect of precise hepatectomy techniques in hepatolithus. MethodsTotally 132 patients underwent precise hepatectomy and 52 patients underwent irregular hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed, and the intraoperative and postoperative indexes such as operation time, blood loss, postoperative complications, hospitalization time, clearance rate of calculus, and cost of hospitalization were analyzed. ResultsCompared with the patients in irregular hepatectomy group, although the operative time was longer in precise hepatectomy group 〔(364.6±57.8) min vs. (292.9±44.7) min, Plt;0.001〕, but the patients in precise hepatectomy group had less blood loss 〔(558.3±90.6) ml vs. (726.7±88.7) ml, Plt;0.001〕, less postoperative complications (11.4% vs. 23.1%，P=0.004 3), and higher clearance rate of calculus (89.4% vs. 73.1%, P=0.005 5). Thus, the patients in precise hepatectomy group had shorter hospital stay 〔(22.9±4.4) d vs. (28.8±3.5) d, Plt;0.001〕 and less cost of hospitalization 〔(1.8±0.7)×104 yuan vs. (2.1±0.9)×104 yuan, P=0.016 5〕. Conclusion Precise hepatectomy is better than irregular hepatectomy in treatment for hepatolithus.
