Among 21 cases (27 eyes)of complicated cataract of uveitis that underwent surgery of cataract extraction, 22 eyes (81%) attained the visual acuity of 0.1 or better without apparent side-effect. The results indicated that cataract extraction is recommendable to improve visual acuity and alleviate intraocular inflammation in some eases of complicated cataract of uveltis accompanied with relatively high doage of cortical steroid therapy before and after operation,and the operation could be performed even flare and cells in aqueous humor or keratic precipitates were observed. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:162-164）
Objective To investigate the number and location of parathyroid glands in relation to thyroid gland, to increase the knowledge about anatomical variation of parathyroid glands, and to reduce injury of the parathyroid and recurrent laryngeal nerve. Methods A total of 50 cadavers were sectioned. The number and distribution of parathyroid glands and their relations with adjacent structures were observed. Results Mean number of parathyroid glands in one individual was 3.52±0.48, mainly located at the retro-medialis of thyroid, which was called “tri-domain and one area”. Superior parathyroid glands were mainly located in the area of cornu inferior thyroidal cartilage; the inferior parathyroid glands except ectopic parathyroid glands were located in radix nasi of thyroid glands; while the area around inferior thyroid artery contains both the superior and inferior parathyroid glands. These three areas constitute the region of retro-medialis of thyroid that parathyroid glands were inclined to get injured. Most superior parathyroid glands were located beside the lateral of recurrent laryngeal nerve （67.8%） and the inferior parathyroid gland mainly located next to recurrent laryngeal nerve （71.9%）, both showed statistical significance (P＜0.005). About 85.0% of superior parathyroid located in the area around posterior suspensory ligament of thyroid, and most common place for ectopic parathyroid gland was around lingual lobe of thymus (28.6%). Conclusion With extreme caution, familiarity with anatomy and skillful technique, the injury to parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerve can be prevented, which may not be a restrain of putting standard thyroid operation into practice.
Objective To study the change of immunologic function of the patient with obstructive jaundice. Methods The level of the sIL-2R, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in 36 cases of obstructive jaundice before and after operation were measured. Results The level of the sIL-2R, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in 36 cases of obstructive jaundice before operation was higher than normal control group (Ｐ＜0.01). It decreased after the obstruction was removed, and it was close to normal control on 14th day after operation. Conclusion The result suggest that relief of jaundice could improve the immunologic function of the patient.
Objective To investigate diagnosis and treatment of farlateral lumbar disc herniations. Methods The clinical data from 16 patients with far-lateral lumbar disc herniations from January 1999 to January 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. The CT scanning showed that the shadow density of the CT scanning values in the corresponding intra-foramen, extraforamen and all-foramen was as the same as that of the intervertebral disc. Of the 16 patients, 10 were operated on by the interlaminar approach, 3 were operatedon by the laterolaminar approach, 3 were operated on by the combined interlaminal and laterolaminal approach.Results According to the follow-up for 6 monthsto 5 years, excellent results were obtained in 8 patients, good results in 5, and fair results in 3. The postoperative CT examination showed that the space occupying in the foramen or extraforamen of the corresponding segment vanished and the nerve root compression of the identical segment also vanished. Conclusion The lamellar highresolution CT is a better way to diagnose lumbar disc herniation. The operative approach should be chosen according to the position of the intervertebral disc protrusion, pathologic type, and presence or absence of the lesions in the vertebral canal.
The authors suggest that occlusion of blood flow to the whole liver is not necesarily a routine procedure in surgical removal of giant cavernous hemangioma in the 8th segment of liver. An occlusion tape can be placed around the finferior vena cava inadvance. Separtion of inferior vena cava between the diaphragm and the upper surface of liver sometimes is difficult, so that placement of the tape may fail. The procedure which we performed in four patients was intermittent occlusion of blood flow at the first hepatic hilum at room temperature during dissection and removal of the tumor en bloc. This operative method is simple and safe as compared with that of resection of the 8th segment of liver.
The effect of proximal subtotal or total gastrectomy by choosing abdominal median incision plus left 7-9 ribs resection in 32 cases of upper gastric cancer had been studied. There was 1 case of residual tumor cells at the esophageal margin, 1 case of hydrothorax and hydrops of costal bed, no costal chondritis, pneumothorax and fistula formation. We consider that it is better to choose abdominal median incision plus left ribs resection in patients with upper gastric cancer in which subphrenic esophageal invasion is under 2cm of length and the function of heart or lung is severely damaged.
We have studied retrospectively 13 eyes with postoperative choroidal detachment of retinal detachment surgery in 126 cases(129 eyes).The frequency of choroidal detachment in this series is 10.1%(13/129).And we found that the middle-aged patients were more common sufferers,and drainaging the subretinal fluid,the extent of retinal degeneration and the buckling procedure might be the related factors to the occurence of postoperative choroidal detachment of retinal detachment surgery. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:210-213）
ObjectiveTo further explore and discuss the value of laparoscopic appendectomy. MethodsThe clinical data of 200 patients underwent appendectomy in this hospital from April 2009 to December 2010 were collected. The operation time, postoperative hospital stay, cost of hospitalization, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative pain score, and surgical complications were compared between laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy. ResultsThere were 8 cases conversion to the open approach in this series. The cost of laparoscopic appendectomy was higher than that of open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); the cases of chronic appendicitis, acute simple appendicitis, acute suppurative appendicitis within 36 h of onset treated by laparoscopic appendectomy had shorter operation time, shorter postoperative hospital stay, earlier postoperative anal exhaust time, and slighter postoperative pain than those treated by open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); the differences in postoperative hospital stay, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative pain of acute suppurative appendicitis more than 36 h of onset and acute gangrenous appendicitis treated by two types of surgery had no statistical significances (Pgt;0.05); the operation time of acute gangrenous appendicitis operated by laparoscopic surgery was longer than that by open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); incision infection rate of laparoscopic appendectomy was lower than that of open appendectomy (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsFor chronic appendicitis, acute simple appendicitis, and acute suppurative appendicitis within 36 h of onset, the outcome and advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy are outstanding, the value of application is clear; and for acute suppurative appendicitis more than 36 h of onset and acute gangrenous appendicitis, laparoscopic appendectomy is difficult and with high rate of conversion, no obvious advantages in recovery after surgery but an increase of medical costs, and the application value is not great.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance and effect for surgery of Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma. MethodsEightytwo cases of Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma who underwent surgery from 1991 to 1998 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsTwentyone patients experienced extended resections,29 patients palliative resection, 19 patients sideside anastomosis and 13 patients laparotomy and biopsy of the tumor. Patients with extended resections had significantly long survival time, quality of life in these patients were excellent in 71.4%, good in 23.8%, and fair in 4.8%; whereas quality of life in the group with palliative resections were excellent in 62.1%, good in 17.2%, fair in 13.8%, and poor in 6.9%. The other two groups had a bad postoperative effect, short survival time and poor quality of life. ConclusionIf the patients with Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma have operative indications,surgical therapy should be actively performed and the postoperative survival rate and quality of life can be improved.
Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of distal phalanx of great toe and soft tissue orthopaedics for treatment of obstinateingrown nail. Methods From October 1997 to May 2006,31 patients(38 nails) suffering from obstinate ingrown nail were treated by the distal phalanx of great toe and soft tissue orthopaedics. There were 23 males(27 nails) and 8 females(11 nails) with an average age of 17.5 years(12-28 years). The disease course was 2years and 1 month to 14 years(average, 31-6 months). At the same time, thirty-eight patients with diseases of feet were selected randomly as controls. The depth of the nail groove was measured.The X-ray films were taken to calculate the rate of upward projection of tuberosity (r). Results Thedepth of the nail and r value of 31 patients were 2.87±0.31 mm and 0.149±0.013，respectively. There were statistically significant differences when compared with control group（1.06±0.10 mm and 0.060±0.019）（Plt;0.01）. Thirty patients(37 nails) had a primary healing; 1 patient(1 nail) had a delayed healing. Twenty-nine patients(36 nails) were followed up for 8 to 29 months(average, 21 months). The appearance of the nail was satisfactory. No relapse occurred in all patients. Conclusion The upward projection of tuberosity of distal phalanx of great toe and deepened nail groove are the most important anatomical causes for ingrown nail. The distal phalanx of great toe and soft tissue orthopaedics is aneffective treatment for obstinate ingrown nail.
