Objective To summarize the experience of open heart operation on neonates with critical and complex congenital heart diseases and evaluate the methods of perioperative management. Methods From May 2001 to January 2003, 12 patients of neonates with congenital heart diseases underwent emergency operation. Their operating ages ranged from 6 to 30 days, the body weights were 2.8 to 4.5 kg. Their diagnoses included D-transposition of the great arteries in 4 cases, ventricular septal defect with atrial septal defect in 5 cases, complete atrioventricular septal defect, obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and cardiac rhabdomyomas in 1 case respectively. 12 cases were operated under moderate or deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results All cases were observed in ICU for 2-11 days and discharged 7-19 days after operation. The postoperative complications included low cardiac output, mediastinal infection, respiratory distress syndrome, systemic capillary leak syndrome and acute renal failure. All cases were cured and the follow-up (from 6 months to 2 years) showed satisfactory outcome. Conclusion A particular cardiopulmonary bypass and proper perioperative management is very important to ensure the successful outcome. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method for treating acute renal failure after cardiac operation in neonates.
ObjectiveTo summarize experience of surgical treatment of ascending aortic aneurysm and analyse related problems.MethodsOne hundred and fourteen (containing 62 cases had aortic dissection) consecutive cases underwent replacement of diseased ascending aorta alone (9 cases) or Bentall operation.ResultsThere were seven operative death (6.14%). The cardiac function, in six of them, was in class Ⅳ(NYHA) preoperatively. Follow up was completed in 107 patients, with a duration of 40±30 months. Eight patients succumbed due to intracranial hemorrhage (3 cases), rupture of abdominal aortic lesion (3 cases), cardiac failure after coronary artery bypass grafting (1 case), and sudden death of unknown cause (1 case),respectively. All 99 long term survivors (86.8%) were in NYHA class Ⅰor Ⅱ.ConclusionThe results indicate that Bentall operation for treating ascending aortic aneurysms and aortic insufficiency, or aortic replacement alone for treating ascending aortic aneurysm gives good functional recovery and an active life for the vast majority of survivors.
Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
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 explore the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in patients with T2 stage non-small cell lung cancer.MethodsThe clinical data of 271 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from 2014 to 2017 were collected, including 179 males and 92 females, with an average age of 62.73±0.58 years. The patients were divided into N0, N1, and N2 groups according to the lymph node metastasis status. The clinical data of the patients in different groups were compared.ResultsThe body mass index (BMI, P=0.043), preoperative lymph node enlargement (P<0.001), and tumor diameter (P<0.001) were significantly different among groups. The BMI (OR=1.131, 95%CI 1.001-1.277, P=0.048) and preoperative lymph node enlargement (OR=3.498, 95%CI 1.666-7.342, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for N2 lymph node metastasis, and tumor diameter was an independent risk factor for both N1 (OR=1.538, 95%CI 1.067-2.218, P=0.021) and N2 (OR=1.814, 95%CI 1.196-2.752, P=0.005) lymph node metastasis.ConclusionPatients with high BMI or enlarged lymph nodes before surgery have a high risk for N2 lymph node metastasis, and those with large tumor diameter have a high risk for both N1 and N2 lymph node metastasis.
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of paracervical block combined with alfentanil in hysteroscopic day surgery under total intravenous anesthesia. Methods This study used a prospective randomized controlled study approach. A total of 60 day surgery patients requiring hysteroscopic surgery under general anesthesia admitted to Weifang People’s Hospital between October and December 2020 were randomly selected. All patients were divided into trial group and control group by completely random number table method, with 30 patients in each group. The trial group received paracervical block combined with total intravenous anesthesia with alfentanil, and the control group received total intravenous anesthesia with alfentanil. The general condition, operation time, recovery time, intraoperative propofol dosage, postoperative pain score, intraoperative motion response and postoperative nausea and vomiting incidence were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in age, body mass index and incidence of comorbidities between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time, recovery time, pain score at 2 hours after operation, and incidence of nausea and vomiting between the two groups (P>0.05). In the control group, the dose of propofol [(34.07±12.67) vs. (28.33±9.10) mL], the pain score on awakening (1.50±0.78 vs. 0.77±0.50), and the incidence of body movement response (20.0 % vs. 0.0%) were higher than the trial group (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of paracervical block combined with alfentanil in hysteroscopic day surgery under total intravenous anesthesia can reduce the amount of propofol during the operation, reduce postoperative pain, and reduce perioperative adverse reactions, which has a good efficacy and safety.
Objective To analyze the causes and the reoperation therapies after salvage limb surgery with prosthesis for bone tumors. Methods The retrospective analysis was performed on 85 patients undergoing the limb salvage operation with prosthetic replacement for tumors from January 1994 to December 2004. Ofthe patients, 21 (13 males and 8 females, aged 18-58 years) underwent reoperations for various reasons. All the diagnoses were pathologically confirmed(10 patients with osteosarcoma, 4 with chondrosarcoma, 5 with giant cell tumor of the bone, 2 with osteofibrosarcoma). The distal femur was involved in 9 patients, proximal tibia in 8, proximal femur in 2, proximal humerus in 1, and acetabulum in 1. According to the Enneking surgical grading system, there were 5 patients in ⅠB and 16 in ⅡB. The time between the first operation and the reoperation was 2 weeks to 20 years. The common reasons for the reoperation were tumor recurrence in 8 patients, prosthetic loosening in 5, no healing of the incision in4,joint dislocation in 3, and implant fracture in 1. The amputation and the prosthesis revision were respectively performed on 6 patients, extensive resection ofthe tumor on 3, the myo-skin flap translocation on 4, internal hemipelvectomy without reconstruction on 1, and open reduction on 1.Results The follow-up in18 patients for 1-5 years (average, 3 years and 4 months) revealed that 4 patients died of osteosarcoma with pulmonary metastasis. The other 14 patients had no tumor recurrence or loosening of the prosthesis, and the incisions healed well. The assessment on the joint function was performed on 13 of the 18 patients and the results were as follows: excellent in 2 patients, good in 5, fair in 4, and poor in 2, with a satisfaction rate of the reoperation with limb salvage of 84.6%and an excellent-good rate of 53.8%. Conclusion Tumor recurrence is the most common reason for the reoperation after the limb salvage with prosthesis for tumors, and loosening of the prosthesis is an important reason, too. By therules of the bone tumor limb savage, the limb salvage operations can also beperformed, which can achieve a satisfactory result of the limb function.
