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.
The ulcer resulting from snake-bite injury was characterized by deep and wide tissue necrosis and secondary infection. The patient was at high risk of loss of function of his extremity. From 1989 to 1996, 16 cases with deep ulcer of the upper extremity resulting from snake-bite injury were treated with different types of axial thoraco-abdominal skin flaps, depending on the location of the ulcer. Thoraco-umbilical skin flap was used in 2 cases, lateral thoracoabdominal skin flap in 1 case, iliolumbar skin flaps in 5 cases, lower abdominal skin flaps in 6 cases, lower abdominal divided foliated skin flap in 1 case and Y-shaped hypogastric skin flap in 1 case. Reparative operation was carried out within 3 weeks after injury and primary repair were undertaken in 6 of them. The pedicles were divided in 17 to 24 days after operation. Twelve flaps survived. Three of the 6 flaps had mild signs of inflammation which disappeared after administration of antibiotics. One had necrosis of the distal part of the flap, and was healed with split skin graft. This type of skin flap was an ideal method for the treatment of snake-bite injury of the upper extremity.
Objective To study the effectiveness of substitute valve at the popliteal vein in treatment of deep venous valve insufficiency of lower extremities. Methods From January 1996 to August 2002, 27 patients were diagnosed having deep venous valve insufficiency of lower extremities by color Doppler and radiography with an average disease course of 17.4 years.All 27 patients had varicose vein, 25 pain, 22 swelling,25 pigmentation in ankle area and 19 chronic ulcerations.Two cases had been treated with great saphenous vein ligation and striping.Averagevein pressure in resting position was (11.00±0.73)kPa,and the ambulatory venous pressure was (9.14±0.68)kPa.All patients were treated with substitute valve at the popliteal vein,and great saphenous vein ligation and stripping, some were treated with subfascial endoscopic perforating veins ablation. Results The average ambulatory venous pressure after operation was (5.94±0.82)kPa,were significantly different from that before operation(P＜0.01). The curative results were satisfactory,and all symptom and physical sign disappeared.After a mean follow-up period of2-6 years,21 cases had satifactory results. Conclusion Substitute valve at the popliteal vein have the value of widespread application.
Objective To evaluate and compare the prognosis of idiopathic macular holes (IMH) and traumatic macular holes (TMH) treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).Methods The clinical data of 72 IMH eyes and 55 TMH eyes, which were treated by PPV between November 2001 and December 2007, were retrospectively reviewed. The visual outcomes and macular anatomic closure were evaluated, and their relationships with prognostic factors including the size of macular hole (MH), preoperative visual acuity (VA) and duration of disease were analyzed.Results The closure rate of IMH (100.0%) was significant higher than that of TMH (85.5%) (P=0.001). The postoperative VA of IMH and TMH were (0.25plusmn;0.02) and (0.21plusmn;0.21) respectively,both significantly increased compare to their preoperative VA (t=-6.841,-4.093; P=0.000). VAincreased IMH and TMH eyes had same VA （chi;2=3.651，P=0.07）. PrePPV VAge;0.1 IMH eyes had better outcomes than PrePPV VA＜0.1 IMH eyes （chi;2=12.04, P=0.001）, while PrePPV VA had no effects on TMH outcomes （chi;2=0.371，P=0.486）. IMH eyes with small holes had better outcomes （t=2.476，P=0.016）, and TMH eyes with small holes had better closure （t=-4.042, P＜0.001）. The duration of disease had no significant influence on TMH visual （chi;2=0.704, P=0.401） and anatomic （chi;2=0.166, P=0.684） outcomes. Conclusions PPV is an effective treatment for MH. The closure rate of IMH is higher than that of TMH. The diameter of MH and preoperative VA are major factors for IMH outcomes, and the duration of disease and preoperative VA have no effects on postoperative VA in TMH.
Objective To improve the accuracy of the acetabular component placement using the nonimage based surgical navigation system. Methods Twenty-three patients (14 males, 9 females; age, 28-55 years;26 hips）with hip disease underwent the total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the nonimage based surgicalnavigation system from February 2004 to April 2006. Rheumatoid arthritis was found in 3 patients (3 hips), necrosis of the femoral head in 6 patients (6 hips), and osteoarthritis in 14 patients (16 hips). All the patients were randomly divided into the following 2 groups: the navigated group (11 patients, 13 hips), treated by THA using the nonimage based surgical navigation system; and the control group (12 patients, 13 hips), treated by the traditional THA. According to thedesign of the study, the acetabular component was placed in the best inclination angle (45°) and the anteversion angle (15°). The postoperative component position was examined. Results No fracture, dislocation, infection or injury to the sciatic nerve was found. In the navigated group, the inclination and the anteversion reached 15.4±1.4° and 45.5±1.3°, respectively. In the control group,the inclination and the anteversion were 13.9±7.6° and 43.7±6.4°, respectively. The inclination difference was considered statistically significant (Plt;0.01). All the patients were followed up for 10-40 months,averaged 26 months. In the navigated group, the postoperative average Harris hip score was 95 (range,85-110), with an excellent result in 11 hips and a good result in 2 hips. In the control group, the postoperative average Harris hip score was 92 (range,75-110), with an excellent result in 9 hips, a good result in 3 hips, and a fair result in 1 hip. The Harris hip score difference was considered statistically significant (Plt;0.05). There was a significantly better result obtained in the navigated group than in the control group. Conclusion The acetabular component can be implanted accurately by the nonimage based surgical navigation system, which can reduce the incidence of the loosening of the prostheses and has an important value in clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the treatment of retinal redetachment after vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. METHODS:Investigating retrospectively on the treatment effect of 8 cases of redetachment of retina with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) in which the retinas had been attached formerly after vetrectomy and silicone oil tamponade operation.The reoperative procedures included pars plana vitrectomy,membranes peeling,retinotomy,inner exchange of the fluid and silicone oil tampnade and subretinal membranes were removed out in 2 eyes. RESULTS:Six eyes had anatomical reattachment postoperatively and another 2 eyes still had inferior shallow retinal detachment.Visual acuity was improved in 6 patients and remained unchange in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS:The cause of recurrent retinal detachment might be the formation of the proliferative epiretinal and subretinal membranes,and vitrectomy to release the traction of proliferative membranes and full fluid silicone oil exchange should do good to reattachment. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 13-15 ）
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application of oncoplastic surgery in breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.MethodsFrom May 2016 to May 2018, 32 breast cancer patients (cT2–3N0–3M0) who were scheduled for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and agreed to accept breast-conserving surgery after NAC in the Henan Tumor Hospital were enrolled into the retrospective study. These patients were originally unable to perform traditional breast conserving surgery because of the size or location of the tumor. We observed the success rate, safety and cosmetic effects of breast-conserving therapy, which were applicated of tumor down-staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with oncoplastic surgery.ResultsIn this study, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 31 patients achieved CR or PR, and 1 patient had SD. All 32 patients underwent breast-conserving surgery successfully, 3 patients underwent breast-conserving combined with volume replacement, and 29 patients underwent breast-conserving combined with volume displacement. One patient was not satisfied with the cosmetic effects, the other patients were satisfied or basically satisfied with the cosmetic effects. The median follow-up was 18 months (5–24 months), and no local recurrence or distant metastasis was found in 32 patients.ConclusionsBy tumor down-staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with oncoplastic surgery, we can make some patients who are originally not suitable for breast conserving due to tumor size and tumor location succeed in breast-conserving therapy, and the safety and cosmetic effect are basically satisfied.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effects of the microsurgical treatment for the skin-degloving injury of the whole hand or foot. METHODS: From March 1984 to October 2001, we treated 6 cases of skin-degloving injury of the whole hand and foot. In 2 cases of skin-degloving hands, one was treated with free great omentum transplantation plus skin graft, the other with pedical abdominal S-shaped skin flap as well as mid-thick skin graft. In 4 cases of skin-degloving injury of the foot, 2 cases was repaired with free latissimus dosi musculocutaneous flap, 1 case with distall-based lateral skin flap of the leg and 1 case with free tensor fasciae latae muscle flap. The flap size ranged from 7 cm x 9 cm to 22 cm x 15 cm. One case was operated on the emergency stage, the other 5 cases on the delayed stage. The delayed time ranged from 2 to 14 days with an average of 6.6 days. RESULTS: All the flaps survived. After 1-2 year follow-up, the appearance and function of the hand and the foot were good. CONCLUSION: Microsurgery technique in repairing skin-degloving injury of the whole hand and foot can achieve good results. The keys to success are thorough debridement of the recipient area, appropriate selection of the donor site, good vascular anastomosis and active postoperative rehabilitation.
