ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 suture in reducing wound infections of emergency gastrointestinal surgeries. MethodsThis was a prospective, randomized, controlled, single center study. From May 2009 to August 2010, 412 patients underwent emergency gastrointestinal operations in our department, 198 of them were chose randomly as experimental group using triclosancoated polyglactin 910 suture for abdominal wall closure， 214 using traditional braiding suture were taken as control. The risk factors for wound healing were analyzed, and wound infection rate was compared between two groups. ResultsThere were no significant differences of gender, age, body mass index, combined diabetes, use of immunosuppressant, and glucocorticoid steroid, type of incision, intraoperative bleeding volume, and operation time between two groups (Pgt;0.05). Wound infection rate of experimental group 〔3.0% (6/198）〕 was significantly lower than that of control group 〔11.7% (25/214), Plt;0.001〕. Especially in subgroup of type Ⅲ incision and operative time more than 120 min, wound infection rate was significantly different between experimental group and control group 〔3.5%(5/141) versus 14.3%(22/154); 3.3%(2/60) versus 21.2%(11/52) respectively, Plt;0.001〕. ConclusionTriclosancoated polyglactin 910 suture can reduce wound infection rate of gastrointestinal emergency operations, especially with type Ⅲ incision and operation time ≥120 min.
ObjectiveThe aim of this current meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective surgery after colonic stenting versus emergency surgery for acute obstructive colorectal cancer.MethodsThe studies published from January 1, 2000 to July 31, 2018 were searched from Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database, and VIP database. RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 21 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to emergency surgery, selective surgery after colonic stenting had significant lower mortality rate [OR=0.44, 95% CI was (0.26, 0.73), P<0.05], permanent stoma rate [OR=0.46, 95% CI was (0.23, 0.94), P<0.05], complication rate [OR=0.47, 95% CI was (0.35, 0.63), P<0.05], and wound infection rate [OR=0.40, 95% CI was (0.25, 0.65), P<0.05）], but had significant higher primary anastomosis rate [OR=3.30, 95% CI was (2.47, 4.41), P<0.05] and laparoscopic surgery rate [OR=12.55, 95% CI was (3.64, 43.25), P<0.05]. But there was no significant differences between the two groups as to anastomotic leak rate [OR=0.86, 95% CI was (0.48, 1.55), P>0.05].ConclusionsSelective surgery after colonic stenting can be identified in a reduced incidence of mortality rate, complication rate, permanent stoma rate, and wound infection rate, and also can increase primary anastomosis rate and laparoscopic surgery rate. Thus, for acute obstructive colorectal cancer, selective surgery after colonic stenting is better than emergency surgery.
An elderly female patient, with systemic multiple organ dysfunction, suffered from severe aortic valve stenosis, was to undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). She was intolerance of the computed tomography examination before surgery. Bedside echocardiography was employed to evaluate the patient’s aortic valve stenosis, valve anatomy and type, the condition of aortic root, the distance from coronary to aortic root, and lower-extremity vascular access. Finally, the emergent TAVR was successfully performed under general anesthesia, and the aortic valve trans-prosthetic gradient met a remarkable decrease after surgery.
目的 探讨脾切除术后再出血的原因及诊治方法并总结其预防措施。方法 对我院1998年8月至2009年3月收治的11例脾切除术后再出血患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果 本组11例再出血患者均行急诊再手术治疗，10例治愈,无术后并发症，恢复顺利，切口愈合良好，均拆线出院，术后住院10～21 d（平均15 d）； 余1例外伤性脾破裂者术中探查为胃短动脉破裂出血，遂结扎胃短动脉，术后发生胃瘘，经禁食、静脉营养等治疗，效果差，于术后20 d死亡。结论 脾切除术后再出血原因较多，以胃短血管处理不当、脾蒂血管结扎线脱落、胰尾部血管损伤及患者凝血功能障碍为主。脾切除术后出血以预防为主，术前充分做好各项准备，术中止血彻底，术后特别是术后24 h内严密观察腹腔引流液的量、性质及速度。再出血后果严重，一旦发生，应及时准确诊断，行急诊再手术治疗。
The short-term mortality of patients with severe aortic stenosis is high, which presents a great challenge to clinical treatment. With the development of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), emergent TAVR brings hope for the treatment of these patients. We present here a case of emergent TAVR procedure. The patient was an elderly male who had previously undergone surgical mitral valve replacement. After fully assessing the risk/benefit of TAVR procedure, emergent TAVR was performed for the patient. The patient was in good condition at two-month follow-up. Emergent TAVR is a good option for critical high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumor in the world, and about 57.6% of colorectal cancer surgical cases in our country are rectal cancer patients, which occupies a major proportion. Some patients with rectal cancer may already have emergencies such as intestinal obstruction or limited perforation at the time of consultation, which require immediate relevant treatment measures. Currently, there are multiple surgical and endoscopic treatment strategies available for obstructive and perforated rectal cancer. Surgeons need to perform an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the disease, define the goals of the current treatment, and formulate an appropriate treatment plan based on the patient’s clinical and oncological status in order to optimize the patient’s oncological outcome while minimizing the risk of complications associated with emergency colorectal surgery.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for neurological complications after emergency surgery of acute type A aortic dissection.MethodsThe clinical data of 51 patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection who were admitted to Shanghai Delta Hospital from October 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 37 males (72.5%) and 14 females (27.5%), aged 29-85 (55.1±12.3) years. The patients were divided into two groups, including a N1 group (n=12, patients with postoperative neurological insufficiency) and a N0 group (n=39, patients without postoperative neurological insufficiency). The clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed.ResultsThere were statistical differences in age (62.6±11.2 years vs. 51.7±11.4 years, P=0.003), preoperative D-dimer (21.7±9.2 µg/L vs.10.8±10.7 µg/L, P=0.001), tracheal intubation time (78.7±104.0 min vs. 19.6±31.8 min, P=0.003), ICU stay time (204.1±154.8 min vs. 110.8±139.9 min, P=0.037) and preoperative coagulation factor activity R (4.0±1.5 vs. 5.1±1.6, P=0.022). Preoperative coagulation factor activity R was the independent risk factor for neurological insufficiency after emergency (OR=2.013, 95%CI 1.008-4.021, P=0.047).ConclusionFor patients with pre-emergent acute aortic dissection who are older (over 62.6-64.5 years), with reduced coagulation factor R (less than 4.0), it is recommended to take more active brain protection measures to reduce the occurrence of postoperative neurological complications in patients with acute aortic dissection, and further improve the quality of life.
ObjectiveTo evaluate safety and effectiveness of stent placement and emergency surgery in treatment of proximal colon cancer obstruction.MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data, etc. were searched comprehensively. The literatures of Chinese and English randomized controlled trial and retrospective comparative study of stent placement and emergency surgery for the proximal colon cancer obstruction were retrieved. The RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0 softwares were used. The meta-analysis was made on the safety and effectiveness of these two treatments.ResultsA total of 9 literatures involving 636 patients were included, all of them were the retrospective studies, 4 of them only reported the clinical success rate and technical success rate. The technical success rate of stent placement was 0.94 [95% CI (0.91, 0.96)]. The clinical success rate was 0.90 [95% CI (0.87, 0.93)]. Compared with the emergency surgery group, the total complication rate and the temporary stoma rate were lower [OR=0.32, 95% CI (0.11, 0.94), P=0.04; OR=0.18, 95% CI (0.05, 0.65), P=0.009] and the hospital stay was shorter [MD=–2.97, 95% CI (–4.52, –1.41), P=0.000 2] in the stent placement group. The perioperative mortality rate, laparoscopic surgery rate, 5-year disease-free survival rate, and 5-year overall survival rate had no significant differences between these two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionCompared with emergency surgery, endoscopic stent placement for treatment of proximal colon cancer obstruction has a lower incidence of complications, temporary colostomy rate, shorter hospital stay, and it has no significant differences in mortality, laparoscopic surgery rate, and survival rate.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of preoperative jaundice on the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative biliary stone removal in patients with common bile duct stones.MethodsA total of 104 patients with choledocholithiasis who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative biliary stone removal for common bile duct stones in Baishui County Hospital and No.215 Hospital of Shaanxi Nuclear Industry between January 2014 and February 2016 were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the jaundice group (43 cases) and the jaundice-free control group (control group, 61 cases) according to the preoperative serum total bilirubin level. The differences in postoperative complication rates between the two groups were compared and risk factors affecting postoperative complications were explored.ResultsThe ALT and total bilirubin on the first day after operation in the jaundice group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the hospital stay in the jaundice group was shorter than that of the control group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of total postoperative complication rate and the incidence of complications (included biliary leakage, ballistic hemorrhage, hyperthermia, incision complications, and other complications) between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in Clavien-Dindo classification, comprehensive complication index (CCI), and ratio of CCI≥20 (P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that male and residual stones were independently associated with postoperative complications (P<0.05), but there was no statistical correlation between preoperative jaundice and postoperative complications (P>0.05).ConclusionPreoperative jaundice does not increase the risk of complications after acute laparoscopic surgery in patients with common bile duct stones.
Objective To evaluate and compare the outcomes of simple closed reduction, selective fragment excision after closed reduction, and emergency fragment excision and reduction in the treatment of Pipkin type I fracture of femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip. Methods Between January 2002 and January 2008, 24 patients with Pipkin type I fracture of the femoral head associated with posterior dislocation of the hip were treated with simple closed reduction (closed reduction group, n=8), with selective fragment excision after closed reduction (selective operation group, n=8), and with emergency fragment excision and reduction (emergency operation group, n=8). In the closed reduction group, there were 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 37.6 years (range, 19-56 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.1 hours (range, 1.0-7.5 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (4.00 ± 2.14) hours. In the selective operation group, there were 7 males and 1 female with an average age of 37.3 years (range, 21-59 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 7 cases and by fall ing from height in 1 case with a mean disease duration of 3.2 hours (range, 1.0-6.0 hours); and the interval from injury to reduction was (3.90 ± 1.47) hours. In the emergency operation group, there were 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 35.5 years (range, 20-58 years); injuries were caused by traffic accident in 5 cases, by fall ing from height in 1 case, and by crushing in 2 cases with a mean disease duration of 3.3 hours (range, 1.5-6.5 hours); and the interval from injury to open reduction was (5.10 ± 2.04) hours. There was no significant difference in the age, gender, disease duration, and interval from injury to reduction among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results All wounds in selective operation group and emergency operation group healed primarily. All the patients were followed up 24 to 58 months (mean, 38.7 months). According to Thompson-Epstein system, the excellent and good rates were 50.0% (4/8) in the closed reduction group, 87.5% (7/8) in the selective operation group, and 87.5% (7/8) in the emergency operation group at 24 months after operation, showing significant difference among 3 groups (χ2=9.803, P=0.020). Heterotopic ossification was found in 1 case (12.5%) of the closed reduction group, in 4 cases (50.0%) of the selective operation group, and in 4 cases (50.0%) of the emergency operation group, and avascular necrosis of femoral head was found in 2 cases (25.0%) of the closed reduction group; there was no significant difference in compl ications among 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Smith-Petersen approach and fragment excision by selective operation or emergency operation has similar outcome, which are better than the treatment of simple closed reduction.
