【Abstract】Objective To investigate the safety and clinical significance of total thyroidectomy performed for benign thyroid disease. Methods Eighty-eight patients with benign thyroid disease were treated with total thyroidectomy. The postoperative complications were analyzed. Results With primary total thyroidectomy, the incidences of transient hypocalcemia and transient recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis were 2.5% and 1.2% respectively. The incidences after reoperation were 28.6%（P＜0.05）and 28.6%（P＜0.01）respectively. No patients had permanent hypoparathyroidism and permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Conclusion Total thyroidectomy can be performed safely. It can avoid reoperation for the recurrence caused by the remainder thyroid.
Objective To explore the feasibility， operation method， and clinical application value of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy （TUSP-LC） in treatment for children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with benign gallbladder diseases from June 2009 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into TUSP-LC group （n=41） and convention three-port LC （CTP-LC group， n=23）. The operative time， intraoperative blood loss， conversion to CTP-LC or laparotomy， operative complications， and hospital stay were recorded. The pains were registered at 3，6，12，24，48， and 72h postoperatively using visual analog scale （VAS）. The patients were given satisfaction questionnaires with surgery at 6 time points （1 week， 2 weeks， 1 month， 3 months， 6 months， 12 months） during a 12 months follow-up. Results A total of 64 pediatric LCs were performed successfully， no patients were converted to laparotomy. Except for one case of incision infection in the CTP-LC group 〔4.35%（1/23）〕 and one case of incision infection and one case of ecchymoma in the TUSP-LC group 〔4.88% （2/41）〕， no other complications such as bile duct injury， bile leakage， and incision hernia happened， the total complication rate was not significant difference in two groups （P＞0.05）. The operative time 〔（47.54±18.71） min versus（45.33±10.58） min〕， intraoperative blood loss 〔（18.56±13.34） ml versus （17.28±12.53） ml〕， and hospital stay 〔（1.67±0.36） d versus （1.81±0.38） d〕were not significant differences in two groups （P＞0.05）. The VAS score was not statisticly significant within 24h in two groups （P＞0.05）， but which in the TUSP-LC group was significantly lower than that in the CTP-LC group after 24h postoperatively （P＜0.05）. During a 12 months follow-up， the score of satisfaction in the TUSP-LC group was significantly higher than that in the CTP-LC group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions TUSP-LC is a safe and feasible method in the children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. It can be performed with the same technical exposure and outcomes as multi-port laparoscopy， with the added benefit of relieving postoperative pain and little no scarring.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of segmentectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 88 patients with pulmonary malignant or benign lung tumor who underwent segmentectomy in our hospital between January 2007 and December 2012. There were 45 male and 43 female patients. There were 29 patients in the segmentectomy group and 59 patients in the lobectomy group. Nonsmall cell lung cancer patients underwent segmentectomy were matched with non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy. Perioperative factors and tumor relative prognosis were analyzed. ResultsSegmentectomy were performed in 29 patients in our institution. Average operation time was 210 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was 166 ml. Postoperative drainage was 2 147 ml. The average extubation duration was 6 days. No significant difference was found in operation time (P>0.999), intraoperative blood loss (P=0.207), postoperative drainage (P=0.946), extubation duration (P=0.804), and postoperative complication (P>0.999) between segmentectomy pulmonary benign disease and segmentectomy lung cancer groups. Compared with lobectomy, segmentectomy showed similar operation time (P=0.462), intraoperative blood loss (P=0.783), extubation duration (P=0.072), complication ratio (P>0.999), and postoperative recurrence/metastasis ratio (P=0.417). While the number of N1 lymph nodes (P=0.033) and N1 station (P=0.024) were fewer in the segmentectomy group than those in the lobectomy group. The overall survival rate (P=0.340) and disease free survival rate (P=0.373) were both comparable between the segmentectomy and the lobectomy group. ConclusionSegmentectomy could be an alternate of lobectomy for patients with selective pulmonary benign disease, and for some early stage non-small cell lung cancer patients with restricted pulmonary function.
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of total thoracoscopy (VATS) lobectomy and the thoracotomy for the treatment of benign lung disease. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 70 patients with benign lung diseases in the First People's Hospital of Qujing between January 2012 and September 2013. According to the surgical way, the patients were divided into two groups including a total VATS group involved in 35 patients with 25 males and 10 females, aged 18 to 71 years, mean age of 41.3±6.4 years and a thoracotomy group involved in 35 patients with 26 males and 9 females, aged 19 to 72 years, mean age of 42.4±5.6 years. Then we compared the efficacy of the two groups. ResultsThere was no statistical difference (P > 0.05) in operative time and postoperative survival rate comparison. While in the total VATS group, the total thoracoscopic incision length, bleeding volume or pain time, postoperative day time of analgesia, thoracic drainage volume, postoperative drainage tube pulling time and hospitalization time were all lower than those in the thoracotomy group with statistical differeces (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe thoracoscopic lobectomy for treatment of benign pulmonary lesions is superior to the conventional thoracotomy with much less bleeding and pain, more faster postoperative recovery and less impact on the patient's body. It's suitable for clinical application in normal hospital.

Methods: We comprehensive collected current studies about serum thyroglobulin in thyroid benign diseases and thyroid carcinoma by computer and manual searches. QUADAS items were used for quality assessment in our systematic review. Metadisc software was used to analyze pooled sensitivity, pooled specificity,pooled positive likelihood ratio and pooled negative likelihood ratio,pooled diagnostic test odds ratio and heterogeneity test,and draw summary receiver operator characteristic curve (SROC). Results: Totally 5 studies were included. To identify thyroid benign diseases and thyroid carcinoma, pooled sensitivity was 0.60, pooled specificity was 0.83,pooled odds ratio was 2.68, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.645 4.Conclusion: The results of statistic alanalysis showed that the positive rate of thyroglobulin in thyroid carcinoma is 2.68 times more than in benign thyroid diseases. There was significant difference. But sensitivity was not high and reporting quality of the studies was relatively poor. The conclusion still need more clinical trials to confirm.
Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in treatment of benign pulmonary disease, in order to promo te the mini-invasive way of operation. Methods From May 2001 to M ay 2006, 128 patients with benign pulmonary diseases were treated by VATS. The diseases included 17 kinds of different lesions, such as tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, inflammatory pseudotumor, giant bullae of lung, hamartoma,lymphangiomyomatosis, etc. 53 cases had definite diagnosis before operation, the others had final diagnosis by pathology. Limited resection were performed in 66 cases, single lobectomy in 56 cases, bilobectomy in 2 cases, and concomitant bilateral lobectomy in 4 cases. Limited resections were carried out by pure thoracoscopic procedure with three ports, lobectomies were carried out by video-assisted minithoracotomy with 7-10cm incision. Results For lim ited resect ion, the average operat ive durat ion w as 110m in (30-180m in) , blood loss was 60m l (10-300m l) , none had intraoperative blood transfusion needed. Conversion to minithoracotomy occurred in 2 patients. Postoperative bleeding happened in one case, which was controlled by medicine. Average length of stay was 6. 5 days. For lobectomy, the average operation time was 145 min (80-260min) , blood loss was 190ml (50-500m l) , no intraoperative blood tansfusion needed. Conversion to tranditional thoracotomy occurred in 3 patients, pneumonia occurred in 2 patients, delayed healing of mini-incision occurred in 2 patients. One diaphragmat ic hernia and one active bleeding after operat ion underwent second thoracotomy. Average length of postoperative stay was 7. 4 days (4-13d). For bilateral lobectomies, the average operative duration was 330min (270-415m in) , postoperative length of hospital stay was 10.7days (8-16d). No perioperative death occurred. Conclusion VATS for benign pulmonary disease is miniinvasive and safe, the pat ients recover quickly. It could be the choice of operation for selected patients in equipped center.
Objective To compare the clinicopathological features of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) and hilar benign diseases, and then explore the value of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the differential diagnosis between them. Methods Clinical data of 65 patients (54 patients with HCCA and 11 patients with hilar benign diseases) who were diagnosed as HCCA and received treatment from January 2011 to October 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Comparison of clinical data of HCCA patients and patients with hilar benign diseases in age, gender, disease duration, clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, and imaging examination was performed, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to explore the value of CA19-9 and CEA in differential diagnosis between hilar benign diseases and HCCA. Results The age, levels of serum CA19-9, CEA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (BILT), and direct bilirubin (BILD) of HCCA group were significantly higher than that in benign group (P<0.05). However, the gender, disease duration, clinical manifestations (including jaundice, abdominal discomfort, fever, and weight loss), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), and imaging findings (including hilar mass, intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, thickening of the bile duct wall, lymph node enlargement, vascular invasion, and gallbladder invasion) had no significant difference between the 2 groups (P>0.05). The ROC curve results showed that, when cut-off point for CA19-9 was 233.15 U/mL, the sensitivity was 56% and specificity was 91%; when cut-off point for CEA was 2.98 ng/mL, the sensitivity was 61% and specificity was 90%. Conclusions For the differential diagnosis between HCCA and hilar benign diseases, the elderly patients with high levels of serum transaminase and bilirubin were more likely to be malignant. It is more likely to be malignant when the serum CA19-9>233.15 U/mL or CEA>2.98 ng/mL.
