OBJECTIVE To repair the huge incisional hernia of abdominal wall, a new surgical method was introduced. METHODS Eight cases of huge ventral incisional hernia, developed in 3 months to 12 months after operation, were treated in this new method with the defects ranged from 8 cm x 4 cm to 12 cm x 6 cm. RESULTS They were followed up for 6 months to 18 months after operation. The clinical results showed that all of the 8 cases recovered satisfactorily without recurrence. CONCLUSION The new method was recommendable for its advantages of easier manipulation, shortened time, no tissue reaction and less tissue trauma from operation.
The soft-tissue-cutaneous flap adjacent to the abdominal incisional hernia was ultilized to repair huge hernia in 6 cases with success. Patients were followed up for 2y7 years without recurrence. The operative planning, the technique and the matters needing attention were introduced in details. The soft tissues and skin adjacent to hernia used for repair was easy to obtain and a simple technique. The adoption of this operation in hospitals at the grassroots level was feasible.
Objective To review the clinical operation methods of abdominal incisional hernia. Methods Classification, operation method and fellow-up of 78 patients with abdominal incisional hernia were retrospectively analyzed. Results The average time of fellow-up was 26 months. Nineteen cases were repaired with simple suture with 3 cases (15.8%) recurrence, 57 cases were repaired with man-made material with 2 case （3.4%） recurrence. Conclusions Individual operation method should be chosen according to body condition, classification of the size of abdominal loss and abdominal hypertension. It is an effective method to repair the hernia of abdominal incision with man-made material.
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of minimal incision technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by comparing the early compl ications after minimal incision TKA and those after traditional incision. Methods From May 2004 to July 2005, 38 patients (46 knees) underwent TKA using the minimal incision technique (minimal incision group), and 43 patients (54 knees) underwent TKA using the traditional incision technique at the same period (traditional incision group). The inimal incision group included 12 male patients (12 knees) and 26 female patients (34 knees), and their ages ranged from 52 to 76 years. Twenty-four patients (28 knees) had osteoarthritis and 14 patients (18 knees) had rheumatic arthritis. The varus deformity of the knee was found in 30 patients (34 knees) and valgus deformity was found in 8 patients (12 knees). TheAmerican Knee Society Score (AKSS) score was 37.5 ± 12.6, and the disease course was (7.5 ± 2.3) years. The raditional incision group included 15 male patients (19 knees) and 28 female patients (35 knees), and their ages ranged from 55 to 82 years. Thirtytwo patients (37 knees) had osteoarthritis and 11 patients (17 knees) had rheumatic arthritis. Varus deformity of the knee was found in 34 patients (41 knees) and valgus deformity was found in 9 patients (13 knees). The AKSS score was 31.1 ± 10.2, and the disease course was (10.1 ± 4.2) years. There were no statistically significant differences in the general data between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The incision length, the operation time and the drainage flow were (12.6 ± 1.2) cm, (95 ± 15) minutes and (650.1 ± 10.0) mL in the minimal incision group and (18.7 ± 2.3) cm, (63 ± 11) minutes and (300.0 ± 20.0) mL in the traditional incision group; showing statistically significant differences between two groups (P lt; 0.05). In the minimal incision group, 4 patients (4 knees) developed infections at the operated knees, including 2 early infection and 2 late infection, which were all cured by corresponding treatment. Deep vein thrombosis occurred in 1 patient on the third day after operation and was managed successfully by thrombolytic therapy. Cutaneous necrosis was found in 2 patients on the seventh and ninth postoperative day separately, which healed uneventfully after intensive local treatment. On the twelfth postoperative month, 1 patient had femoral fractured at the site of supracondylar region after a careless fall, but the prosthesis was stable. The fracture was fixed by a plate and healed uneventfully. In the traditional incision group, only 1 patient (1 knee) developed early infection at the operated knee on the tenth postoperative day, which was managed by corresponding treatment. And there were no periprosthetic fracture, cutaneous necrosis or deep vein thrombosis. The patients were followed up for (3.7 ± 0.4) years in the minimalincision group and (3.9 ± 0.6) years in the traditional incision group. At the latest follow-up, the AKSS scores were 78.2 ± 6.7 in the minimal incision group and 81.2 ± 7.3 in the traditional incision group, showing statistically significant ifferences (P lt; 0.05) when compared with those before operation and no statistically significant difference between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Minimally invasive TKA has relatively higher compl ication rate than traditional incision. Strict patient inclusion criteria, competent surgery skill, proper instrument and intensive perioperative management are essential to success.
Objective To investigate the effect of different degrees of wound eversion on scar formation at the donor site of anterolateral thigh flaps by a prospective clinical randomized controlled study. MethodsAccording to the degree of wound eversion, the clinical trial was designed with groups of non-eversion (group A), eversion of 0.5 cm (group B), and eversion of 1.0 cm (group C). Patients who underwent anterolateral femoral flap transplantation between September 2021 and March 2023 were collected as study subjects, and a total of 36 patients were included according to the selection criteria. After resected the anterolateral thigh flaps during operation, the wound at donor site of each patient was divided into two equal incisions, and the random number table method was used to group them (n=24) and perform corresponding treatments. Thirty of these patients completed follow-up and were included in the final study (group A n=18, group B n=23, and group C n=29). There were 26 males and 4 females with a median age of 53 years (range, 35-62 years). The body mass index was 17.88-29.18 kg/m2 (mean, 23.09 kg/m2). There was no significant difference in the age and body mass index between groups (P>0.05). The incision healing and scar quality of three groups were compared, as well as the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) score [including the observer component of the POSAS (OSAS) and the patient component of the POSAS (PSAS)], Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score, scar width, and patient satisfaction score [visual analogue scale (VAS) score]. Results In group C, 1 case had poor healing of the incision after operation, which healed after debridement and dressing change; 1 case had incision necrosis at 3 months after operation, which healed by second intention after active dressing change and suturing again. The other incisions in all groups healed by first intention. At 6 months after operation, the PSAS, OSAS, and patient satisfaction scores were the lowest in group B, followed by group A, and the highest in group C. The differences between the groups were significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in the VSS scores and scar widths (P>0.05). ConclusionModerate everted closure may reduce the formation of hypertrophic scars at the incision site of the anterior lateral thigh flap to a certain extent.
Objective To summarize the experiences and methods on reoperation of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair with prosthetic patch. Methods Sixteen patients who got reoperation from January 2007 to December 2010 because of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair were analyzed retrospectively. Results All patients received prosthetic patch repair for reoperation. Thirteen patients received new mesh repair accompanied with old mesh removal, repair conducted by suturing new mesh with old mesh together in two patients, and repair performed by new mesh overlapping the old mesh in one patient. All patients recovered with primary wound healing. Fluid upon the mesh occurred in 3 patients and cured by percutaneous puncture and pressure dressing. Postoperative hospital stay was 7 to 16 days and the average 9 days. The drainage was removed 2 to 7 days after operation and the average was 4 days. All the 16 patients were followed up. And during a follow-up range of 5 to 36 months and the average 20 months, there was slight foreign body sensation in one patient, no chronic pain in wound area occurred. And no abdominal wall hernia recurrence occurred. Conclusions Reoperation of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair need to consider the recurrent position, material of the previous mesh, and the previous surgical methods, and should select appropriate prosthetic patch and surgical procedure, then could gain satisfied results.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effectiveness of two kinds of treatment methods to nurse wound after tracheotomy. MethodsWe collected 108 cases and randomly divided them into two groups between March 2012 and May 2013. The experimental group (n=52) received tracheotomy care with PermaFoam dressing, while the control group (n=56) was treated with traditional sterile absorbent gauze. We analyzed the differences in terms of infection of wound, errhysis and frequency of dressing changes between the two groups. ResultsThe experimental group had a lower rate of wound infection than the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the experimental group was superior to the control group in the total number of dressing changes, wound redness and oozing (P<0.05). ConclusionPermaFoam dressing can reduce wound complications and frequency of dressing changes effectively. It is easy to operate, and can reduce the workload of clinical nursing, and deserves clinical application.
Objective To investigate the prevention of gangrene of exteriorized colon following transabdomino-perineal saving sphincter resection of rectal cancer. Methods From Aug. 1988 to Feb. 2000, 46 cases of cancer of the rectum were treated by transabdominoperineal saving sphincter with severing the anal sphincters and anorectal ring. During this procedure the anal sphincters and anorectal ring were severed to prevent gangrene of the exteriorized colon. Results In these cases, the exteriorized sigmoid colon had good blood supply and no gangrene was found. Conclusion This method can effectively prevent the gangrene of exteriorized sigmoid colon stump and gives no permanent fecal incontinence.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effect of ultrasound guided puncture irrigation and traditional incision and drainage in the treatment of breast abscess. MethodsCNKI, Wanfang Database, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMbase were searched, at the same time complementary with other retrieval in any language to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparison ultrasound guided needle aspiration with incision and drainage to treat the breast abscesses published by late August, 2015. Data related to clinical outcomes were extracted by two reviewers independently. Statistical analyses were carried out using RevMan5.3 software. ResultsEight studies were included, which involving 373 participants according to the inclusion criteria. The differences were statistically significant about the cure rate [OR=2.51, 95% CI (1.47, 4.28), P=0.000 8〕, effective rate [OR=7.45, 95% CI (2.29, 24.27), P=0.000 9〕, the heeling time [SMD=-1.77, 95%CI (-2.09, -1.44), P < 0.000 01〕, the length of the scar [MD=-2.88, 95% CI (-3.43, -2.33), P < 0.000 01〕, and the complications [OR=0.18, 95% CI (0.05, 0.62), P=0.007〕. Conciusions Compared with traditional methods of incision and drainage, ultrasound guided needle aspiration and wash has the more cure rate, the more effective rate, the less heeling time and scars as well as complications.
