ObjectiveTo analyze the surgical effect, postoperative complications and effects on the body inflammatory response of laparoscopic gastroduodenal perforation repair, and to further evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic perforation repair. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 123 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer perforation treated between February 2010 and February 2015. Among the patients, 65 underwent laparoscopic gastroduodenal ulcer perforation repair (laparoscopic group), and 58 underwent routine open gastroduodenal ulcer perforation repair (open group). Then, we compared the surgical effects (average bleeding volume, ambulation time, postoperative ventilation time, postoperative hospital stay), postoperative complications (wound infection, wound dehiscence, gastroduodenal fistula, abdominal abscess, intestinal obstruction), inflammatory reaction[preoperative and 1, 3, 5-day postoperative white blood cells (WBC) count, peripheral blood procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)] between the two groups. ResultsPatients in both the two groups underwent the surgery successfully. No patients in the laparoscopic group were transferred to open surgery. Compared with the open surgery, surgical bleeding volume, ambulation time, anal exhaust time and postoperative hospital stay of the laparoscopic group were significantly different (P < 0.05). Postoperative complications rate of the laparoscopic group was significantly lower than that of the open group (P < 0.05). One and 3-day WBC, PCT and CRP after surgery increased obviously in both the two groups. The above three indicators on the fifth day after surgery were not significantly different from those before the surgery in the laparoscopic group (P > 0.05), while they were significantly different from those before the surgery in the open group (P < 0.05). ConclusionsCompared with open perforation repair, laparoscopic perforation repair surgery is superior for its better surgical effects, fewer postoperative complications and lighter inflammatory response. It is a safe, effective and minimally-invasive treatment for gastroduodenal perforation.
Objective To explore the important role of preperitoneal space in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal （TAPP） and totally extraperitoneal （TEP） hernia repair. Methods The clinical data of 66 patients （78 sides） performed laparoscopic TAPP and TEP hernia repair from January 2008 to April 2011 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results TAPP hernia repair were performed in 16 cases （20 sides），TEP hernia repair were performed in 50 cases （58 sides）. Three cases of TEP hernia repair transferred to TAPP hernia repair. The unilateral operation time was （86.92±36.38） min，intraoperative bleeding was （6.08±3.43） ml. Postoperative complication rate was 16.7% （11/66），including 3 cases of postoperative serum swelling，3 cases of temporary paraesthesia of nerve feeling in the repair area，2 cases of scrotum emphysema，2 cases of urinary retention，and 1 case of intestinal obstruction. There were 2 cases of recurrence. The hospital stay was （4.52±0.99） d. The return to activities and working time was （10.32±1.86） d after discharge. Sixty-six cases were followed up for （18.56±1.96） months （range 1-38 months），the patch infection，chronic pain，and testicular atrophy complications were not been observed. Conclusions Acquainting and mastering laparoscopic preperitoneal space and its important structure are the key to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
ObjectiveTo investigate the surgical methods and efficacy of myocardial infarction combined with ventricular septal perforation.MethodsThe clinical data of 60 patients with myocardial infarction combined with ventricular septal perforation admitted to the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, from 2009 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 39 males and 21 females, aged 63.3±8.3 years.ResultsAmong the 60 patients, 43 (71.7%) patients were perforated in the apex, 11 (18.3%) in the posterior septum and 6 (10.0%) in the anterior septum. There were 24 (40.0%) patients of single coronary artery disease. Fourteen (23.3%) patients received intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation before surgery. The waiting time from ventricular septal perforation to surgery was 48.3 (3-217) d. All patients underwent ventricular septal perforation repair, among whom 53 (88.3%) patients received ventricular aneurysm closure or resection, and 49 (81.7%) patients received coronary artery bypass graft with an average of 2 distal anastomoses during the same period. Perioperative complications in the hospital included 8 (13.3%) deaths, 8 (13.3%) heart failure, 5 (8.3%) ventricular fibrillation, 3 (5.0%) pericardial tamponade, and 11 (18.3%) secondary thoracotomy and 11 (18.3%) residual shunt. Except for 8 patients who died in the hospital, the other 52 cured and discharged patients were followed up. The median follow-up time was 4.9 years. The 2-year and 5-year survival rate of the patients was 95.8%, and the 8-year survival rate was 89.0%. Major adverse cardiovascular events incidence was 19.2%, including 3 (5.8%) deaths, 5 (9.6%) heart failure, 2 (3.8%) myocardial infarction, and 4 (7.7%) cerebrovascular events.ConclusionFor patients with ventricular septal perforation after myocardial infarction, surgery is an effective treatment method. Although the perioperative mortality rate is high, satisfactory long-term results can be achieved by carefully choosing the operation timing and methods.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical result and influence factors of prognosis after repair of ruptured Achilles tendon with operative treatment. METHODS From 1961 to 1994, 62 cases with ruptured Achilles tendon were treated operatively. Among them, "8"-shaped suture was used in 8 cases, aponeurosis flap repair in 30 cases, transfer repair of tendon of peroneus longus muscle in 2 cases, reverse "V-Y" shaped tendon plastic operation in 10 cases, and mattress suture of opposite ends in 12 cases. RESULTS Followed up 3 to 33 years, there was excellent in 40 cases, better in 13 cases, moderate in 6 cases, poor in 3 cases, 85.5% in excellent rate. Postoperative infection and re-rupture were occurred in 6 cases respectively. CONCLUSION Different operative procedures are adopted to achieve better long-term clinical result according to the injury types.
Objective To observe the effectiveness of skin graft combined with thorax wire fastening for repairing postoperative coloboma after resection of chest back giant nevus. Methods Between June 2007 and October 2010, 17 cases of chest back giant nevus were treated. There were 7 males and 10 females, aged from 3 years and 6 months to 15 years(mean, 8 years). The size of giant nevus was 20 cm × 12 cm to 60 cm × 50 cm. Two cases of them were ever treated by laser, while the others were never treated. The check before operation showed ulcer of the skin and effusion in 2 cases, hard skin in 3 cases, hair growth in 7 cases, and normal in 5 cases. Five cases had serious itch. After giant nevus was cut off, thorax wire was fastened to reduce the wound area, and then the intermediate spl it thickness skin graft of thigh was used to repair the wound. Comprehensive anti-scar treatment was given postoperatively. Results The wound size was (2 110.74 ± 725.69) cm2 after resection of giant nevus, and was (1 624.94 ± 560.57) cm2 after thorax wire fastening, showing significant difference (t=9.006, P=0.001). All the grafting skin survived; the incision and wound at donor site healed by first intention. The patients were followed up 6 months to 2 years (mean, 13 months). No scar prol iferation or contracture occurred. The skin color and elasticity were similar to the normal skin; the nipple, navel, and other local apparatus were not shifted after operation. Conclusion It can reduce donor site of skin and postoperative scar, and achieve satisfactory appearance to cover the wound by skin graft combined with thorax wire fastening after chest back giant nevus was cut off .
Objective To compare the clinical outcomes following arthroscopic repair for articular-sided partial rotator cuff tear using transtendon repair versus repair after completion of the tear by meta-analysis. Methods Randomized controlled trials on arthroscopic repair for articular-sided partial rotator cuff tear using transtendon repair versus repair after completion of the tear were identified from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, and Chongqing VIP database, with a timespan from the inception of database to November 2024. Pain score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score, postoperative adhesive capsulitis and postoperative retear were obtained as the outcomes to compare the clinical effect of the two methods. Meta-analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.3 software, with mean difference (MD) and relative risk (RR) as the effect scales. Results A total of 6 randomized controlled trial studies were included in the meta-analysis. The studies enrolled 370 patients, including 188 cases in the transtendon repair group and 182 cases in the repair after completion of the tear group. Pooled analyses demonstrated that the pain score [MD=0.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.09, 0.42), P=0.003] and ASES score [MD=2.02, 95%CI (0.95, 3.10), P=0.0002] were higher in the transtendon repair group than those in the repair after completion of the tear group, the Constant-Murley score was lower in the transtendon repair group than that in the repair after completion of the tear group [MD=−3.32, 95%CI (−6.17, −0.46), P=0.02], and there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative adhesive capsulitis [RR=1.12, 95%CI (0.36, 3.42), P=0.85] or the incidence of retear [RR=0.32, 95%CI (0.10, 1.03), P=0.06] between two groups. Conclusions Transtendon technique is less effective in reducing pain for articular-sided partial rotator cuff tear. There is no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative adhesive capsulitis or retear between the two gorups.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of ISOBAR TTL dynamic stabilization with pars bone grafting for the treatment of lumbar spondylolysis. Methods A retrospective analysis was made the clinical data of 26 patients with lumbar spondylolysis who received ISOBAR TTL dynamic stabilization with pars bone grafting between September 2009 and March 2014. There were 14 males and 12 females, with a mean age of 31 years (range, 19-47 years). The disease duration ranged from 9 to 60 months (mean, 16 months). Preoperative lumbar anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films, CT three-dimensional reconstruction, and MRI scans were performed to identify the location of pars defect. The involved levels were L4 in 9 cases and L5 in 17 cases. There were 10 cases of pure spondylolysis and 16 cases of spondylolysis accompanied with I degree slipping. The clinical outcome was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores at preoperation and 1 week, 3 months, 6 months after operation, and at last follow-up. The lumbar CT three-dimensional reconstruction was obtained at 6 months after operation to evaluate bone fusion of the pars. The adjacent segment degeneration was assessed by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) grading scale at preoperation and last follow-up. Results All incisions healed by first intention; no infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, or pain at iliac crest donor site occurred. Twenty-six patients were followed up 2-5 years (mean, 36.5 months). No secondary spondylolisthesis, internal fixation loosening and breakage were found during follow-up. The postoperative VAS and ODI scores showed significant differences (P<0.05) when compared with preoperative scores, and the scores at 3 months, 6 months, and last follow-up were significantly better than that at 1 week (P<0.05), but no significant difference was shown between the other time points after operation (P>0.05). The CT three-dimensional reconstruction indicated satisfactory union at the pars in 23 cases (88.5%) at 6 months after operation. Of the 3 nonunion patients, good union was obtained in 1 patient at 1 year after operation; nonunion was observed in 2 patients at last follow-up, but low back pain was obviously alleviated. According to the UCLA grading scale, 20 cases were rated as grade I and 6 cases as grade II at last follow-up, which was the same as preoperative grade and indicated no adjacent segment degeneration. Conclusion It is safe and effective to use the ISOBAR TTL dynamic stabilization with pars bone grafting technique to treat lumbar spondylolysis with or without degree I slipping. The fusion rate is satisfactory, and adjacent segment degeneration can be slowed down after lumbar fusion surgery.
OBJECTIVE: To seek a simple, safe and effective method for the instant repair of soft-tissue defects after excision of superficial tumor, chronic ulcer and scar constructure as well as injury. METHODS: From August 1993 to October 1997, according to the location and size of the lesion, adjacent single or double reverse tongue-shaped skin flaps were designed to repair the defects of head, face, limb and shoulder in 31 cases, and the donor sites were closed directly. RESULTS: The wounds were healed by first intention and the skin flaps were all survived postoperatively. CONCLUSION: It suggests that the tongue-shaped flap have the following characteristics: abundant blood supply, high survival rate, wide application, less trauma, and adjacent tissue can be fully used. It is a simple, safe and effective method for the instant repair of soft-tissue defects.
Objective To report 4 methods of reconstructing soft tissue defects in oral and maxillofacial regions after tumors resection using cervical pedicle tissue flaps. Methods One hundred seventy-two soft tissue defects were repaired with cervical myocutaneous flaps after resection of oral and facial cancer( 165 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 7 cases of salivary carcinoma). The clinical stage of the tumors was stage Ⅰ in 21 cases, stage Ⅱ in 116 cases and stage Ⅲin 35 cases. Primary sites of the lesions were the tongue (59 cases), buccal mucosa (55 cases), lower gingiva (26 cases), floor of the mouth (25 cases), parotid gland (4 cases) and oropharynx (3 cases). Infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps were used in 60 cases, platysma flaps in 45 cases, sternocleidomastoid flaps in 59 cases and submental island flaps in 8 cases. The sizes of skin paddle ranged from 2.5 cm×5.0 cm to 5.0 cm ×8.0 cm. Results Among 153 survival flaps, there were55 infrahyoid myocutaneous flaps, 40 platysma flaps, 52 sternocleidomastoid flaps and 6 submental island flaps. There were 11 cases of total flap necrosis and8 cases of partial flap necrosis. The success rates were 91.67%(55/60) for infrahyoid myocutaneous flap, 88.89%(40/45) for platysma flap, 88.14% (52/59) for sternocleidomastoid flap and 75%(6/8) for submental island flap. After a follow-up of 3 11 years(5.7 years on average) among 101 cases local reccurence in 18 cases, cervical reccurence in 4 cases, distance metastasis in 2 cases. The survical rate at 3 years were 83.17%(84/101). Conclusion Cervical pedicle tissue flaps haveclinical value in reconstruction of small and medium-sized soft tissue defects after resection of oral and maxillofacial tumors.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of the greater tubercle fixation and the rotator cuff repair in humeral head replacement.MethodsThe literature about proximal humerus fracture and humeral head replacement in recent years was extensively consulted and analyzed.ResultsThe greater tubercle fixation and the attached rotator cuff repair have great influence on the function of shoulder joint after humeral head replacement. It is difficult to make an objective comparison because of lack of direct comparison between various methods, unified standards of grading, and limited number of cases.ConclusionIt is an important factor of reduction and fixation of greater tubercle to obtain better effectiveness in humeral head replacement. However, one-stage repair of rotator cuff is more important than greater tubercle fixation for functional recovery of shoulder joint.
