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.
Objective To investigate the indication, operative approach, postoperative management, and complication of acetabular fracture. Methods Sixty-eight patients (51 males,17 females; age 15-65 years) with acetabular fracture were reviewed retrospectively. Among the patients, 55 were injured in the traffic accidents and 13 were injured in the falls (acute injury in 60, old injury in 8). According to the Letournel classification, 16 had a fracture of the posterior wall, 13 had a fracture of the posterior wall and posterior column, 12 had a fracture of the anterior wall and anterior column, 8 had a fracture of the anterior and posterior column, and 19 had a transverse acetabular fracture. All the patients underwent an operative treatment. Results There was no injury to the nerves and blood vessels during the operation. According to the 1-12-year follow-up for 51 patients, 26 (51.0%) patients had an excellent function, 17（33.3%）had a good function，6（11.8%）had a fair function, and 2（3.9%）had a poor function. The excellent and good rate was 84.3%. After operation, heterotopic ossification was observed in 4 patients, and necrosis of the femoral head in 2 patients. Conclusion Operative management should be performed as soon as possible in the patients with a displaced acetabular fracture. Recovery of the stability of the acetabulum and smoothness of the acetabular articular cartilage is important to the recovery of the function.
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 investigate the surgical methods and effects of perineal Paget’s disease. Methods From January 1998 to September 2004, 20 perineal Paget’s disease cases were treated with several surgical methods. All the patients were male. Their ages ranged from 47 to 80 years. The courses of diseases ranged from 1 year to 9 years (4.7 years on average). Among them, 14 cases involved scrotums purely, 5 cases involved scrotums and penises, 1 cases involved scrotum, penis and hypogastric zone. Fifteen cases were diagnosed as having Paget’s disease through pathological exam. No metastasis was found before operation. ResultsThe wounds healed by first intention in 19 cases, the free skin graft necrosed partially in 1 case and healed by second intention after dress changing. All the patients were followed up 2 to 5 years, the contours of scrotums and penises were good. Two cases had tumor recurrence and received surgery again. Recurvation occurred in 2 cases during penis erecting，and was corrected by regional flap transplantation Conclusion The lesions like eczema in perineal reigon should be suspected as Paget’s disease, and should be biopsied earlier. Complete removal by surgery is the only effective treatment. Perineal Padget’s disease should be diagnosed and treated earlier. If the raw surfaces could not be repaired completely, flap transplantation and free skin graft should be used .The patients should be followed up closely.
【Abstract】 Objective To summarize the experience in radical excision of carcinoma of head of pancreas in order to improve the surgical skills and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications. Methods The clinical material of 55 patients (ages: 32-72 years; mean age: 56.5 years) with carcinoma of head of pancreas who received radical excision from January 1996 to March 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. All the cases were pathologically verified as ductal adenocarcinoma of head of pancreas. The treatment time following the operations was divided into two phases by year 2002 ( phaseⅠ: 1996-2002; phaseⅡ: 2002-2005). Different surgical treatment groups were fixed and ICU and other measures were implemented during the second phase. Results All the patients, consisting of 31 males and 24 females, underwent consecutive extended resection. The radically curative rates of phaseⅠand phaseⅡ were 25.9%(29/112) and 34.7%(26/75), respectively, and the complication rates were 48.3%（14/29） and 19.2%（5/26）, respectively. A variety of surgical skills would improve the operation, including extended regional lymphadenectomy, resection of involved nerve plexus, combined vessel resection and comprehensive bleeding-control technique and so on. Conclusion The improvement of radically curative effect and the reduction of complication rate depend on the advancement of surgical skills and the further understanding of pathophysiology of carcinoma of head of pancreas.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the technique of establishing a model of aparathyroid rat which could be used in the study of parathyroid cells transplantation. Methods Parathyroid glands were surgically excised and identified pathologyically. Serum calcium and parathyroid hormone in rats before operation and on day 2，5，10，15 and 30 after operation were measured. Results Parathyroid glands were resected successfully in 8 rats, and the resection rate was 80% (8/10). No obvious changes of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were found before and after operatiion in sham parathyroid gland excision group (Pgt;0.05). However, statistically significant changes of those data were found perioperatively in parathyroid gland excision group (P＜0.01). Conclusion The model of aparathyroid rat can be established successfully after parathyroid glands in rats are excised exactly. Parathyroid allotransplantation could be performed ten days after parathyriodectomy.
Abstract ： Objective To evaluate the clinical validity of Physiological and Operative Severity Score for theenUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM) in primary lung cancer patients undergoing surgery in order to get clinical treatment reference. Methods A total of 179 patients，with 124 males and 55 females，with primary lung cancer surgery between January 2007 and October 2010 were included in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Their age was 59.2±11.4 years．Before the surgery，POSSUM was used to each patient to rate the results and substituted the results into Copeland equation to calculate the predicted postoperative mortality and morbidity. The actual number of complications and death were calculated after surgery and the patients were divided into one group with postoperative complications and another group without postoperative complications. The physiological score and the operative risk score were compared between the two groups. Actual number of complications and death were compared with thenumber predicted by POSSUM respectively. The clinical factors related to the actual number of complications and death were analyzed. Results Among 179 patients， there were postoperative complications in 78 patients. The physiological score and the operative severity score were significantly higher in the group in whose complications occurred compared with those without complications (16.11±2.53 points versus 14.88±1.86 points for physiological score，P=0.000 ； 13.47±2.83 points versus 12.88±2.57 points for operative severity score，P=0.000). There was no statistical difference in complication between the predicted and actual number (65/179 versus 78/179，χ2=1.968，P=0.161). There was statistical difference in death between the predicted and actual number(12/179 versus 3/179，χ2=5.636，P=0.018).Univariable analysis revealed that 5 single factors were related to the complications， only hemoglobin was related to the death. Conclusion The POSSUM gives satisfactory prediction in morbidity rate but overrates the mortality rate in primary lung cancer patients undergoing surgery， and 5 single clinical factors show a better clinical value.
From 1974 to 1993, 20 patients with dislocation of patella in 26 knees were treated by surgical technique, including 11 males and 9 females, aged from 10 to 67,averaged 31 year old. Thirteen cases (16 knees) were available for followup with an average period of 6.4 years. Using the criteria of Insall, the result were excellent in 5 knees, good in 5 knees, fair in 3 knees and poor in 3 knees with a success rate of 62%. Based on the biomechanism of patella movement and the findings in this study, the mechanism of dislocation of patella and its biomechanical reconstruction principle as well as the factors influencing the operative results were discussed.
