Objective To review the value of imaging assessment for perioperative period of liver transplantation. Methods The related literatures in recent years were reviewed, and the applications of various kinds of radiological techniques in perioperative period of liver transplantation and radiological strategies of major complications after liver transplantation were summarized. Results Transplantation has become an effective option for treatment of patients with irreversible severe liver dysfunction. Radiological assessment supplies prompt and accurate information for clinic to increase the success rate and reduce the complications. So it plays an irreplaceable role. Conclusions Radiology assessment is important for screening donors and recipients before liver transplantation， following up and monitoring the complications. The doctor of imaging department could grasp the different imaging appearance in perioperative period of liver transplantation.
Objective To explore the perioperative management of the coexisting diseases for the elderly patients with gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of perioperative management for coexisting diseases in 528 patients with gastric cancer over 70 years old treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from March 1980 to November 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The main coexisting diseases included cardiovascuclar disease (259 cases, 49.05%), respiratory disease (161 cases, 30.49%), diabetes (72 cases, 13.64%). Adjusting blood pressure and blood glucose, improving cardiopulmonary function, and hepatic and renal function were mainly given. The common postoperative complications included intestinal obstruction (10 cases), pneumonia (10 cases), reflux esophagitis (9 cases), functional evacuation disorder of gastric remnant (7 cases), and anastomotic leakage (5 cases). Ten patients died during perioperative period: 6 died of heart and lung failure, 2 of acute myocardial infarction, 1 of anastomotic leakage, 1 of intestinal obstruction. Conclusions The common coexisting diseases in the elderly patients with gastric cancer are hypertension， bronchitis and diabetes. Complete assessment of the patient’s general health before operation and intensive perioperative management of the coexisting diseases not only can decrease the risk of surgical procedures， but also decrease the incidence of complication and perioperative mortality.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the clinical efficacy and safety of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) prophylaxis with a single dose of tranexamic acid (TXA). MethodsThe Embase, PubMed, WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI, ChiCTR and Cochrane Library were electronically retrieved to collect clinical studies related to appraising the efficacy and safety in parturients after cesarean section used TXA perioperatively from inception to September, 2024. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using R software. A trial sequential analysis of outcomes was carried out to investigate the reliability and conclusiveness of findings. ResultsA total of 43 RCTs including 23 497 parturients that compared the prophylactic use of a single dose of TXA with placebo or no treatment in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery. The results of meta-analysis revealed that there was a significantly reduced risk of PPH (RR=0.52, 95%CI 0.40 to 0.67, P<0.01), total blood loss (SMD=−183.73mL, 95%CI −220.87 to −146.60, P<0.01), need for blood transfusion (RR=0.42, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.60, P<0.01), and use of additional uterotonics (RR=0.55, 95%CI 0.43 to 0.70, P<0.01) with TXA use. There were no statistical differences in thromboembolic events between TXA and control groups (RR=1.05, 95%CI 0.54 to 2.03, P=0.11), and results were consistently in favor of TXA use across subgroups, and trial sequential analyses. ConclusionTaken as a whole, existing evidence suggests that TXA can effectively reduce PPH in patients undergoing cesarean delivery. Further, prophylactic TXA administration for parturients significantly reduced blood loss and need for blood transfusion, without increasing adverse events and use of additional uterotonics, supporting its use as a safe and effective strategy for reducing PPH in this population.
【Abstract】 Objective To explore the cause of the perioprative period compl ication of scandinavian total anklereplacement(STAR) and to summarize the experience in the treatment and prevention. Methods From March 1999 toNovember 2006, 35 patients were given total ankle replacement(TAR) with STAR system. There were 19 males and 16 femaleswith an average age of 50.5 years (27 to 68 years), including 12 cases of posttraumatic arthritis, 8 cases of osteoarthritis and 15cases of rheumatoid arthritis. All patients had pain of ankle joint, swell ing and l imitation of joint motion. The disease coursewas 9-64 months. The curative effect was estimated by Kofoed total ankle scoring system. The mean preoperative ankle scorewas 29(6-48); the mean pain score was 18.3(0-35); the mean function score was 11.7(6-18); and the mean activity score was9.2(3-12). The type of all compl ications were record, and its cause, prevetion and treatment were analyszed. Results Thirtythreepatients achieved heal ing by first intention, 2 achieved delayed union because of infection. Twenty-eight patients werefollowed up 3-80 months (mean 43.5 months). Medial malleolus fracture occurred in 2 cases, unstable ankle joint introversion in2 cases, l imitation of ankle dorsiextension in 1 case and 1 case had hypoesthesia at intermediate dorsal skin of foot and 3rd-5thmetatarsal skin without obvious dysfunction; all were treated with symptomatic medication. The postoperative mean ankle scorewas 85.5 (58-95); the mean pain score was 48.3(35-50); the mean function score was 20.7(18-30); the mean activity score was17.2(16-20). There were statistically significant differences when compared with preoperative score(P lt; 0.01). The cl inical resultswere excellent in 16 patients, good in 9 patients and fair in 3 patients. The X-ray films showed no loosening and subsidence ofprosthesis. Conclusion Although STAR can retain the functions of the operated joint, it has its special compl ications. It isimportant to obey operation principle with proficient operative technique, to strictly control surgical indication and to intensifyperioperative period treatment so as to decrease the compl ications.
Objective To discuss the impacts of completion rate of fast track items on postoperative management of colorectal cancer surgery. Methods Between February 2010 and May 2010, 100 patients (Group “Year 2010”) were analyzed retrospectively, who were compared with 76 patients (Group “Year 2008”) from the same period of 2008. Postoperative recovery indexes, complications, and completion rate of fast track items were studied and compared. Results For major fast track items, the completion rates of restrict rehydration, early out-of-bed mobilization, early oral intaking, and management of gastric tube and drains were significantly higher in Group “Year 2010” than those in Group “Year 2008” (Plt;0.05). Meanwhile, the completion rate of urinary catheter management was significantly higher in Group “Year 2008” than that in Group “Year 2010” (Plt;0.05). In early rehabilitation, the first flatus of patients in Group “Year 2010” 〔(3.86±1.05) d〕 was significantly earlier than that in Group “Year 2008” 〔(4.28±1.22) d〕, Plt;0.05; for postoperative hospital stay, though, there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). As to the complications, there was also no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions As the concepts of fast track surgery became increasingly favorable, completion rates of fast track items are increased. As a result, more and more fast track items turn into regular perioperative care. Although enhanced recovery has been achieved, better collaboration and localilzation are still needed to make the full advantage of fast track surgery.
Objective To explore the risk factors of postoperative anxiety in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing total pancreatectomy. Methods A total of 31 patients who underwent total pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer between July 2011 and December 2016 were collected and analyzed in this retrospective study. The patients’ postoperative Self-Rating Anxiety Scale scores were collected, and the exposure factors were analyzed to identify the risk factors of postoperative anxiety through univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis by SPSS 21.0 statistical software. Results In the 31 patients, there were 17 males and 14 females, with an average age of (66.16±9.09) years, an average body mass index of (21.11±3.10) kg/m2, and an average postoperative hospital stay of (14.58±7.47) days. There were 23 patients (74.2%) with postoperative anxiety, and 30 patients (96.8%) with hyperglycosemia required insulin therapy. The total perioperative mortality was 3.2%. In the univariate analysis, age (P=0.012), smoking history (P=0.043), preoperative diabetes mellitus (P=0.012), postoperative bile leakage (P=0.043), and postoperative abdominal infection (P=0.026) were related factors of the postoperative anxiety. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, patients without preoperative diabetes was an independent risk factor of postoperative anxiety (P=0.013). Conclusions For patients undergoing total pancreatectomy, it is needed to pay attention to the patients’ postoperative psychological conditions and assess the postoperative anxiety, especially for those without preoperative diabetes. To improve the life quality and long-term survival of these patients, health education and psychological intervention are needed.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo analyse the current situation and advance in perioperative therapy of liver transplantation for primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).MethodsThe published papers on current situation and advance in the perioperative therapy of liver transplantation for HCC were reviewed.ResultsThe survival rate of liver transplantation for HCC in early stage has been the same as that for benign liver diseases up to now. However, it is still a difficult problem to improve the survival rate of liver transplantation for advanced HCC. The ideal perioperative therapies of liver transplantation for HCC should be helpful to suppress the growth of tumor while the HCC patients are waiting for donated livers, to diminish or eliminate the intraoperative spread or implantation of tumor cells and to repress the micrometastasis postoperatively. The current perioperative therapies of liver transplantation for HCC include hepatic arterial chemoembolization, systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy, percutaneous ethanol injection into HCC and radiofrequency ablation etc. ConclusionThe perioperative assistant therapy of HCC can not only save time for patients before liver transplantation but also improve the survival rate after operation.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the perioperative management in hepatectomy using hepatic energy metabolisom for enhancing safety of and improving the survival in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC).MethodsTwo thousands and one hundred fortythree patients with PLC were treated in this hospital from January 1990 to January 2004. The perioperative data, operative approach, postoperative treatment, postoperative clinical course and follow up data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups: the early period group and the late period group(from January 1997 to January 2004) and comparison was taken between two groups. The preoperative redox tolerance index (RTI), intraoperative hepatopetal blood occlusion of half liver, and postoperative arterial ketone body ratio (AKBR) were investigated and evaluated.Results①The proportion of small PLC and resection rate increased, the morbidity of complications and mortality after hepatectomy decreased, also the survival rate prolonged in the late period group. ②When using RTI as an indicator for selection of hepatectomy, the morbidity of complications decreased from 21.1% to 11.0%, the mortality form 1.6% to 0.3%. ③Comparising hepatopetal blood occlusion of total liver (n=476) with half liver (n=523),the postoperative morbidity of complications and mortality were 25.8% to 11.9% and 2.3% to 0.6% respectively. ④Postoperative AKBR measurements was a reliable indicator to assess the energy status of the liver and liver failure.ConclusionRTI is of potential value in predicting preoperative hepatic functional reserve, hepatopetal blood occlusion of half liver could protect the residual liver function, and postoperative AKBR measuremeant is a simple and accurate means of determining the immediate state of metabolic dysfunctioning in liver resection. The authors propose that perioperative treatment is an important factor in decreasing operative complications and mortality rate after liver resection.
ObjectiveTo evaluate and summarize the perioperative management experience of living related liver transplantation (LRLT). MethodsA retrospective analysis was made in perioperative management of 13 cases undergoing LRLT (15 times operation, including 2 cases of liver retransplantation) in our department from January 2001 to December 2002. ResultsAll the operations were successful. All the 13 donors were followed up regularly, 12 donors were uneventfully recovered after operation and 1 donor suffered from bile leakage due to T tube. The survival rate of recipients, who achieved longterm survival at 2 months to 2 years, was 92.3%(12/13); the survival rate of graft was 86.7%(13/15). One adult recipient with Wilson’s disease died of serious rejection on the 72nd day postoperatively. Two cases suffered from embolism of hepatic artery, one case received reduced size cadaveric liver retransplantation, the other case received liver retransplantation from cadaver, and they both achieved longterm survival after retransplantation. The other complications included: 1 case of serious rejection, 2 cases of ARDS, 6 cases of infection of microbe, 7 cases of serious hydrothorax, 1 cases of leakage of biliary tract, and so on. ConclusionPerfect preoperative management, which composes one of the key parts of LRLT, is critically important for both donor and recipient.
Objective To report our experience in living donor liver harvesting of right lobe grafts. MethodsThe data of 76 living donors of right lobe grafts hepatectomy between August 2007 and December 2008 were studied. Before operation, the graft size, remnant liver volume rate, fatty liver, middle hepatic vein type, and the level of portal hypertension of recipient were comprehensive assessed to determine whether harvested middle hepatic vein. The graft was harvested depending on the port vein and hepatic artery ischemia-line. B-ultrasound was used to definite the structure and branch of middle hepatic vein, and intraoperative cholangiography was performed to definite the structure and variation of bile duct. Donor operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, levels of bilirubin, international normalized ratio （INR）, and ALT, and complications after operation were recorded. Results All the operations were successful. The operative time was (8.3±1.3) h, the blood loss was (325±127) ml without blood transfusion in operation. The ALT, INR, and bilirubin recovered on the 12th day. The most common complication in early post-operation was wound infection in 5 cases, 4 cases had cholestasis, 4 cases occurred cross-section bile leakage, and 11 cases occurred varying degrees of delayed gastric emptying in 4～7 d after operation, who were all alleviated by corresponding treatments. The hospital stay was 9～21 d (median: 14 d) after operation. Conclusion Preoperative evaluation of the hepatic anatomy and precise surgical procedure are crucial, which will help the development of graft harvesting and rehabilitation of donor.
