ObjectiveThe aim of this current meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective surgery after colonic stenting versus emergency surgery for acute obstructive colorectal cancer.MethodsThe studies published from January 1, 2000 to July 31, 2018 were searched from Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database, and VIP database. RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 21 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to emergency surgery, selective surgery after colonic stenting had significant lower mortality rate [OR=0.44, 95% CI was (0.26, 0.73), P<0.05], permanent stoma rate [OR=0.46, 95% CI was (0.23, 0.94), P<0.05], complication rate [OR=0.47, 95% CI was (0.35, 0.63), P<0.05], and wound infection rate [OR=0.40, 95% CI was (0.25, 0.65), P<0.05）], but had significant higher primary anastomosis rate [OR=3.30, 95% CI was (2.47, 4.41), P<0.05] and laparoscopic surgery rate [OR=12.55, 95% CI was (3.64, 43.25), P<0.05]. But there was no significant differences between the two groups as to anastomotic leak rate [OR=0.86, 95% CI was (0.48, 1.55), P>0.05].ConclusionsSelective surgery after colonic stenting can be identified in a reduced incidence of mortality rate, complication rate, permanent stoma rate, and wound infection rate, and also can increase primary anastomosis rate and laparoscopic surgery rate. Thus, for acute obstructive colorectal cancer, selective surgery after colonic stenting is better than emergency surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support on postoperative nutritional status and clinical outcomes in patients with upper digestive tract ulcer perforation. MethodsSeventy-twe patients with upper gastrointestinal ulcer perforation who treated in Heze Municipal Hospital from 2012 to 2014 were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition (EEN) group (n=36) and parenteral nutrition (TPN)group (n=36) according to their different ways of nutrition, the body weight, body mass index, the levels of prealbumin and albumin before operation and on day 7 ofter operation were analyzed. The time of resumption of gastrointestinal function, the time of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, and postoperative complication were recorded. ResultsThere were no significant differences on levels of body weight, body mass index, serum albumin, and prealbumin before operation between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). On day 7 after operation, the levels of body weight, body mass index, prealbumin, and albumin were significantly low in both groups, and the TPN group was decreased more than EEN group (P < 0.05). The inffect complications in EEN group was lower than in TPN group, the time of resumption of gastrointestinal function in EEN group was shorter than in TPN group, and the hospital stay and hospitalization cost in EEN group were both lower than in TPN group, there were significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0.05). ConclusionsEarly postoperative enteral nutrition for the patients with upper gastrointestinal ulcer perforation after operation can be effective to improve the nutrition status, reduce the incidence of infectious complications, promote early recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce hospitalization cost, and accelerate the rehabilitation of patients.
Objective To study the feasibility, indication, technique of emergency operation and the perioperative management on critical congenital heart disease in infants. Methods From May 1998 to May 2003, 67 emergency operations of critical congenital heart disease were performed in infants . The age was 14d-32 months (mean , 11.8±8.9 months), the weight was 2.6-14.8 kg( mean, 8.4±3.0 kg). The diagnosis included ventricular septal defect in 39, tetralogy of Fallot in 13, complete atrioventricular septal defect in 5, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in 4, atrial septal defect with pulmonary valve stenosis in 3, D-transposition of the great arteries in 2, and postoperative pulmonary valve vegetation in 1. Corrective operation in 64 and palliative operation in 3 were done. Results The preoperative managing time was 0-9 d(mean , 3.7±2.6 d), the lasting time of intubation was 1-14d( mean, 3.8±3.2 d), and ICU staying time was 2-18 d (mean, 5.7±2.8 d). The operative mortality was 7.5% (5/67), the postoperative complications in other infants include 14 low cardiac output syndrome, 14 atelectasis, 8 lung infection, 2 worsened pulmonary hypertension, 1 pneumothorax , and 1 phrenic nerve paralysis. Following up 2-60 months with 1 case late death, the cardiac function of the others were class Ⅰ-Ⅱ/Ⅵ, the operative result was satisfactory. Conclusions The emergency operation on critical congenital heart disease in infants is safe, and can save most of their lives, the good result can be obtained from surgical treatment. Accurate choice of indications, and perioperative good nutritional and cardiorespiratory function support are important.
Objective To evaluate and compare the outcomes of simple closed reduction, selective fragment excision after closed reduction, and emergency fragment excision and reduction in the treatment of Pipkin type I fracture of femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip. Methods Between January 2002 and January 2008, 24 patients with Pipkin type I fracture of the femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip were treated with simple closed reduction (closed reduction group, n=8), with selective fragment excision after closed reduction (selective operation group, n=8), and with emergency fragment excision and reduction (emergency operation group, n=8). In the closed reduction group, there were 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 37.6 years (range, 19-56 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.1 hours (range, 1.0-7.5 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (4.00 ± 2.14) hours. In the selective operation group, there were 7 males and 1 female with an average age of 37.3 years (range, 21-59 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 7 cases and by fall ing from height in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.2 hours (range, 1.0-6.0 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (3.90 ± 1.47) hours. In the emergency operation group, there were 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 35.5 years (range, 20-58 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 5 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 2 cases with a mean disease duration of 3.3 hours (range, 1.5-6.5 hours); and the interval from injury to open reduction was (5.10 ± 2.04) hours. There was no significant difference in the age, gender, disease duration, and interval from injury to reduction among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results All wounds in selective operation group and emergency operation group healed primarily. All the patients were followed up 24 to 58 months (mean, 38.7 months). According to Thompson-Epstein system, the excellent and good rates were 50.0% (4/8) in the closed reduction group, 87.5% (7/8) in the selective operation group, and 87.5% (7/8) in the emergency operation group at 24 months after operation, showing significant difference among 3 groups (χ2=9.803, P=0.020). Heterotopic ossification was found in 1 case (12.5%) of the closed reduction group, in 4 cases (50.0%) of the selective operation group, and in 4 cases (50.0%) of the emergency operation group, and avascular necrosis of femoral head was found in 2 cases (25.0%) of the closed reduction group; there was no significant difference in compl ications among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Smith-Petersen approach and fragment excision by selective operation or emergency operation has similar outcome, which are better than the treatment of simple closed reduction.
Objective To testify the efficacy of revised trauma score （RTS） in evaluating the severity of trunk injury，analyze its inadequacy and make modifications to improve its specificity and accuracy in evaluating trunk injury. Methods Medical records of 278 patients undergoing emergency surgery for the treatment of trunk injury in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2006 and June 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 231 males and 47 females in the age of 1-75 （33.7±14.1） years. RTS was calculated for each patient. Hemoglobin （Hb） concentrations in these patients acquired at the emergency room were included to reflect the severity of blood loss. The correlations between RTS and patient response to treatment as well as RTS and prognosis were analyzed. Patient response to treatment and prognosis were compared between the normal RTS group and the abnormal RTS group. Univariate analysis was performed followed by multivariate analysis for the variables which may impact prognosis. Modified RTS was established by regression analysis. Results RTS was significantly correlated with patient response to treatment as well as prognosis. RTS was significantly correlated with the time duration between the onset of injury and the beginning of operation （r =0.249，P＜0.001）， thoracic and abdominal blood loss volume （r = -0.255，P＜0.001），fluid resuscitation volume （r = -0.244，P＜0.001） as well as length of ICU stay （r = -0.202，P=0.001）. Mortalities in patients with different RTS were statistically different （P=0.004）. In the patient group with normal RTS the mortality was 5.1%，which indicates the inadequacy of RTS in evaluating trunk injury. Univariate analysis revealed that both emergency room Hb and RTS were correlated with patients’ prognosis. After putting these two factors into the regression analysis，a new formula to calculate modified RTS is established：Logit （P death）=6.450-0.769×RTS-0.029×Emergency room Hb. Conclusion Modified RTS is more specific in evaluating trunk injury and maintains the advantages of simplicity and rapidness.
