Objective To choose suitable free flaps for reconstructing headand neck defects caused by tumor resection. Methods A retrospective analyses was made in 86 cases of head and neck defects treated with four kinds of free flaps between January 1999 and January 2002. The head and neck defects were caused by tumor resection. The locations were oral cavity (n=32), hypopharynx (n=27), mandible (n=12), skull base (n=5), scalp and skin (n=6) andmidface(n=4). The donor sites of free flaps included the rectus abdominis (n=32), anterolateral thigh (n=10),jejunum (n=25), fibula (n=11), latissimus dorsi (n=4), forearm (n=3) and scapula (n=1). The sizesof the cutaneous/musculocutaneous flaps ranged from 4 cm×5 cm to 14 cm×24 cm. The lengths of the fibula were 4-16 cm,of jejunum 9-20 cm. Results The overall free flap success rate was 92% (79/86). Of 32 oral cavity defects, 22 were reconstructed by rectus abdominis (69%) and 10 by anterolateral thigh flaps (31%). Of 27 hypopharyngeal defects, 25 were restored by jejunum flaps (93%). Eleven of 12 mandibular defects were reconstructed by fibula flaps(92%). Four of 5 defects of skull base were reconstructed by rectus abodominis flaps (80%). The free flaps of rectus abodominis, anterolateral thigh, jejunum and fibula were most frequently used, accounting for 91%(78/86) of all flaps in head and neck defect reconstruction. Conclusion Although head and neck defects represent a complicated spectrum of subsites and loss, these four freeflaps can manage most reconstruction problems.

Objective To compare the short-term effectiveness of repairing distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with metal screws and absorbable screws. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 63 patients with ankle fracture combined with injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis admitted between January 2017 and January 2020. Among them, 31 patients were treated with absorbable screw fixation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (research group) and 32 patients were treated with metal screw fixation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, surgical side, time from injury to operation, fracture type, preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time and fracture healing time were recorded and compared between the two groups. X-ray film was taken to evaluate the effect of ankle joint reduction and fixation. Olerud-Molander ankle fracture efficacy score (short for OM score), AOFAS score, and VAS score were used to evaluate the effectiveness. Results There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups (t=−0.683, P=0.497). In the control group, 1 case of delayed healing and 1 case of poor healing occurred in the lateral incision after operation, which healed after dressing change; the rest of the patients had primary healing of the incision. Patients in both groups were followed up 12-24 months, with an average of 13.8 months. In the control group, 1 patient with fracture of pronation and external rotation walked with full weight bearing after removing the metal screw of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis at 8 weeks after operation, the anatomical plate of the lateral malleolus was broken, and the lateral malleolus was fixed again and recovered after 5 months; 1 patient had mild ankle pain after operation, and the pain disappeared after removing the metal screw of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis at 8 weeks. No complication such as nerve and blood vessel injury occurred in all patients. There was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups (t=−1.128, P=0.264). The AOFAS and VAS scores significantly improved in both groups at 12 months after operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the OM scores, and the difference of AOFAS and VAS scores between before and after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion Using absorbable screws to repair the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis can effectively restore the ankle acupoint structure, prevent ankle instability, and restore good ankle function. There is no significant difference in effectiveness between absorbable screws and metal screws, and there is no need for secondary operation to remove screws.
Objective To discuss the stabil ity and practical ity of temporomandibular joint replacement by establ ishing goats artificial temporomandibular joint replacement model. Methods Six healthy mature goats were selected, the male and female being half and weighing 35.3-37.0 kg. According to the parameters from X-ray films of goat’ s temporomandibular joint and the shape of the same kind goat’s skull, the total temporomandibular joint prosthesis was prepared. The one side temporomandibular joints of six goats were replaced by prosthesis randomly as the experimental group (n=6, fossa and condyle according to replacement location) and the other side by titanium plate as the control group (n=6). At 4,8, and 12 weeks, the histological observation, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation were carried out for observing structural changes in the interface. The mechanical test and histochemistry test were used for observing the combination degree of interface and the alkal ine phosphatase (ALP) activity. Results All animals were al ive to the end of experiment with normal open mouth, good recovery of masticatory function, and normal eating. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks, implants were stable in 2 groups without loosening. The histological observation and SEM observation showed the amount of osteoblasts in interface increased over times. There were significant differences in the shearing force and the ALP activity between fossa in experimental group and control group at 4 weeks (P lt; 0.05), but there was no significant difference between other groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The total temporomandibular prosthesis has good stabil ity in temporomandibular joint reconstruction of goat after replacement.
ObjectiveTo review the effect of obesity on the effectiveness of posterior lumbar fusion in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases (LDD).MethodsThe related literature at home and abroad was extensively reviewed. And the difficulty of operation, risk of complications, and long-term effectiveness of posterior lumbar fusion for obese patients with LDD were summarized.ResultsAlthough some relevant literature suggest that the posterior lumbar fusion for obese patients is difficult and the risk of postoperative complications is high, the overall research results do not suggest that obesity is a risk factor for the implementation of posterior lumbar fusion. By assessing the physical condition of patients and strictly grasping the surgical indications, obese patients can obtain good surgical efficacy.ConclusionPosterior lumbar fusion is an effective method for the treatment of LDD in obese patients. However, relevant studies need to be completed to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of posterior lumbar fusion for obese patients.
ObjectiveTo compare efficacy of laparoscopic or open hepatectomy in benign liver tumors patients with different difficult operations. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the patients with benign liver tumors who underwent hepatectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2014 to March 2021 were collected. The enrolled patients were assigned into low, medium, and high difficulties by the Hasegawa liver resection surgical difficulty score model, then the patients were matched by propensity score matching. The liver function and inflammatory indexes, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, total hospital stay, postoperative complications, and hospitalization expenses of patients with benign liver tumors after laparoscopic (laparoscope group) or open (open group) hepatectomy were compared. ResultsA total of 209 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. According to the Hasegawa criteria, there were 59, 89, and 61 patients with low, medium, and high difficulties respectively. After 1∶1 propensity score matching, 18, 34, and 14 patients in the laparoscope group and open group were matched respectively. There were no statistic differences in the baseline data between the laparoscope group and open group (P>0.05). ① For the patients with low and medium difficulties, compared with the open group, the different values of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, white blood cell count, and neutrophil percentage were lower (P<0.05), the intraoperative bleeding and total hospital stay were less or shorter (P<0.05), and the albumin were higher (P<0.05) in the laparoscope group. There were no statistic differences in these indexes among the patients with high difficulty (P>0.05). ② Compared with the open group, the operative time of the laparoscope group was shorter in the patients with low difficulty (P<0.05) and longer in the patients with high difficulty (P<0.05), and there was no statistic difference in patients with medium difficulty (P>0.05). ③ The postoperative complications had no statistic differences between the two groups for the patients with low and high difficulties (P>0.05), while which in the laparoscope group were lower than in the open group for the patients with medium difficulty (P<0.05). ④ The hospitalization expenses of the laparoscope group was higher than the open group for the patients with high difficulty (P<0.05), while which had no statistic differences between the two groups for the patients with low and medium difficulties (P>0.05). ⑤ The total hospital stay of the laparoscope group was shorter than the open group (P<0.05) no matter which difficult operation.ConclusionsAccording to results of this study, laparoscopic hepatectomy has more obvious advantages as compared with open hepatectomy for patients with low or medium difficulty, which could greatly shorten hospital stay and accelerate rehabilitation of patients. Even for patients with high difficulty, laparoscopic hepatectomy still shows an advantage of shortening hospital stay.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of absorbable screws for the treatment of tibiofibular syndesmotic disruptions by comparing with metallic screws. Methods Between July 2007 and May 2012, 69 patients with tibiofibular syndesmotic disruptions associated with ankle fractures were treated; absorbable screw fixation was used in 38 cases (group A) and metallic screw fixation was used in 31 cases (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, injury causes, the type of fracture, the side of fracture, and disease duration between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The fracture healing time, weight bearing time, and complications were recorded and compared between 2 groups. According to Baird-Jackson scoring system, the function of the ankle was assessed after 6 months. Results Infection of incision occurred in 3 cases (7.9%) of group A and 2 cases (6.5%) of group B, and skin necrosis of incision in 1 case (2.6%) of group A and 5 cases (16.1%) of group B, showing no significant difference in the incidences of infection and necrosis of incisions between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05); primary healing of incision was obtained in the other patients. The 69 cases were followed up 12-26 months (mean, 18.6 months). The weight bearing time was (2.97 ± 0.59) months in group A and was (3.16 ± 0.74 ) months in group B, showing no significant difference (t=1.175, P=0.244). X-ray films showed that fractures and tibiofibular syndesmotic disruptions healed in 2 groups; the healing time was (5.71 ± 1.01) months in group A and was (5.81 ± 1.08) months in group B, showing no significant difference (t=0.381, P=0.705). No fixation failure, breakage, or loosening occurred in 2 groups. According to Baird-Jackson scoring system, the results were excellent in 29 cases, good in 5 cases, and fair in 4 cases with an excellent and good rate of 89.5% in group A at 6 months after operation; the results were excellent in 20 cases, good in 7 cases, and fair in 4 cases with an excellent and good rate of 87.1% in group B; no significant difference was found in the excellent and good rate between 2 groups (Z= — 0.991, P=0.321). Conclusion Treatment of tibiofibular syndesmotic disruptions with absorbable screws can get good effectiveness and replace metallic screws because of avoiding additional operation for removing the screw.
