ObjectiveTo summarize the surgical treatment and explore factors which influencing prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. MethodsClinical data of 189 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma who treated in our hospital from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2010 and clinicopathological factors that might influence survival were analyzed retrospectively. A multivariate factor analysis was performed through Cox proportional hazard model. ResultsOf 189 cases, 62 cases received radical resection, 54 cases received palliative surgery, and 73 cases received non-resection surgery. Operative procedure (RR=0.165), differentiated degree (RR=2.692), lymph node metastasis (RR=3.014), neural infiltration (RR=2.857), and vascular infiltration (RR=2.365) were found to be the statistically significant factors that influenced survival by multivariate factor analysis through the Cox proportional hazard model. ConclusionsRadical resection is the best treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Skeletonized hepatoduodenal ligament, complete excision of infiltrated nerve and blood vessel are important influence factors to improve the prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) with multi-pathogenesis is a common disease in cardiac surgery department. MR can be classified into two categories-primary mitral regurgitation and secondary mitral regurgitation. With the development of cardiac intervention, numerous patients who cannot tolerate open heart surgery for the reason of high risk of surgery receive the treatment of intervention and achieve the favorable endpoint. The technique of transcatheter therapy which could be used to treat MR is comprised of leaflet repair, annuloplasty and implantation of artificial chordae. Comparing to primary mitral regurgitation, surgical effect of secondary mitral regurgitation is not desirable for the reasons of complex pathophysiologic mechanism. Hence, based on the perspective of surgeon, we will introduce the research progress of transcatheter interventional mitral valve repair which is focused on the treatment of primary mitral valve regurgitation and reviewed from three aspects of surgical risks, surgical types and outlook.
Abstract Postburn deformities, including hypertrophic scars, scar contracture and defect or deformity of tissue or organ, are the commonest disorders in plastic surgery. It is also difficult to deal with. If the diformity involved multiple organs, oftentimes the teatmentis very difficult because the material for repair is limited and the donorsite usually could not provide adequate amount of skin for repair. Since 1978,2496 cases of various postburn deformities were admitted. In this article, theoptimal time to operate was discussed. The use of flap transfer and soft tissueexpander was described. Prolonged traction in the treatment of severe contracture of large joint was also described.
Objective To study the advances in clinical application of hernioplasty by high molecular material. Methods The literature in the recent years on the advances of hernioplasty by high molecular material was reviewed. Results At present time many operative techniques of hernioplasty by high molecular material have been developed. The representative techniques were ①Rives-Stoppa′s mesh inlay hernioplasty; ②Lichtenstein′s tesion-free herniorrhaphy; ③mesh plug hernioplasty; ④Gilbert′s sutureless hernioplasty; ⑤laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty. The reparing high molecular material was divided into absorbable and unabsorbable material, the former included polyglycolic-acid and polyglaction, the later consists of polypropylene polyester and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.Conclusion The clinical application of henioplasty by high molecular material is increasing. According to the hernia type and patient condition, excellent outcome will be achieved by the application of proper repairing method and repair material.
The authom analysed the predisposing factors for macular pucker(MP) after retinal dotachment surgery.Thirteen clinlcal risk factors correlated with the development of MP were identified, As the incidence related to various factors was compared with reported in the literature,the most significant 3 risk factors of MP were: the obvious hemorrhage accumulated in maeular area, the macular hole treated with diathernly,and the patient lay on one's back for approximately 2 weeks during postoperative retard absorption of subretinal fluid in the eyes with preoperative PVR,This suggested that the direct or indirect damage of maeular area was the major cause of development of MP.

Objective To find individualized evidence-based treatments for a patient with lower rectal cancer. Methods Based on the clinical questions raised, evidence was collected and critically assessed. Patient preferences and physician clinical experience were also taken into consideration in the decision-making treatment. Results Twenty-four systematic reviews or meta analyses and 1 clinical guideline were included. The evidence showed that preoperative chemoradio- therapy reduces risk of local recurrence and death from rectal cancer compared to preoperative radiotherapy alone. Preoperative combined chemoradiotherapy, enhanced pathological response and improved local control in the resectable stage II and III rectal cancer. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy reduced the risk of local recurrence as compared with postoperative chemoradiotherapy. Postoperative radiotherapy alone did not improve survival for the patients with resected stage II and stage III rectal cancer, whereas either chemotherapy alone or combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy improved survival in comparison with observation. As compared with conventional radical surgery, total mesorectum excision (TME) resulted in lower postoperative local recurrence rate and higher survival rate. No significant differences in terms of disease-free survival rate, local recurrence rate, mortality, and morbidity were found between laparoscopic and open total mesorectal excision. Conclusion The patients with lower rectal cancer might benefit from preoperative chemoradiotherapy, postoperative chemotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy. TME is the standard rectal cancer surgery. However, long-term prognostic benefits need to be confirmed by further follow-up.
ObjectiveTo explain the advantage of laparoscopic endoscopic rendezvous procedures used to treat rectal carcinoma, and predict the future direction of the surgery methods for rectal carcinoma. MethodsA review and summary based on the clinical experience of our hospital and the published researches about the laparoscopic endoscopic rendezvous procedures over the past years in home and abroad were performed. ResultsLaparoscopy can monitor the situation of the abdominal cavity.Endoscopy can detect the location of rectal carcinoma.Laparoscopic endoscopic rendezvous procedures used to treat rectal carcinoma can combine the advantage of each other.And the purpose of "less invasion, less pain, and faster recovery" will be achieved.The effect of "1+1 > 2" will be realized. ConclusionLaparoscopy and transanal endoscopic microsurgery hybrid could be a naive form of nature orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery to treat rectal carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo evaluate clinical curative effect of sphincter preservation method of improved minimally invasive surgery to primary cure for horseshoe-shaped perianal abscess. MethodsOne hundred and twenty hospitalized patients diagnosed as horseshoe-shaped perianal abscess were analyzed by prospective, random, single-blind, parallel-group design method, and were randomly divided into two groups, one group of sphincter preservation method of improved minimally invasive surgery (observation group), another group of traditional method of hanging line drainage and multiple incisions of radian shape (control group). The cure rate, long-term recurrence, postoperative pain score within 9 d, hospitalization time, incision healing time, scar area after healing, postoperative anal function score and perioperative and long-term complications were compared in these two groups. ResultsAll the operations were successfully completed in these two groups. There were 56 cases of primary healing in the observation group and 55 cases of primary healing in the control group. Compared with the control group, the postoperative pain score on day 2-4 or on day 7-9 was lower (P < 0.05), the incision healing time was shorter (P < 0.05), and the postoperative anal function score was lower (P < 0.05) in the observation group. There was no incision infection and hemorrhoea in these two groups. The hospitalization time, scar area after healing, incidence rate of urinary retention, hepatic and renal dysfunction, and the total white blood cells > 10.0×109/L had no significant differences between these two groups (P > 0.05). There was no long-term recurrence, anal stenosis, and anal incontinence during following-up of 6 months in these two groups. ConclusionPreliminary research results show that sphincter preservation method of improved minimally invasive surgery to primary cure for horseshoe-shaped perianal abscess has a reliable clinical curative effect, fast healing, and less postoperative complications.
Objective To investigate the effect and surgical skill of ultracision harmonic scalpel in curative gastrectomy for patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods From January 2007 to May 2008, the data of 152 patients who were treated by curative gastrectomy with ultracision harmonic scalpel were analyzed retrospectively. Results The mean operative time was (189.5±24.2) min. Compared with the conventional operation, the number of harvested lymph nodes (mean: 30.4±11.6) in patients treated with ultracision harmonic scalpel was increased. The application of ultracision harmonic scalpel could shorten the operation time, decrease the intraoperative blood loss and make the operation field clear. There were no postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage, lymphatic leakage and massive hemorrhage. And there was no death in this series. Conclusion The usage of ultracision harmonic scalpel which could improve the curative degree of lymphadenectomy is safe in curative gastrectomy for patients with gastric carcinoma.
