【Abstract】 Objective To multifactorially analyze the risk factors related to the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) complications and death. Methods Two hundred and thirty-three PD cases were analyzed, average age 56, of those cases, 210 malignant with 72 pancreatic head and 138 periampullary involvement, 23 benign. Fifty-nine cases suffered coexisting vital organ disorders. Results Sixty-three cases (27.0%) experienced postoperative complications, among those 58 cases (24.9%) early complications, 28(12.0%) infection, 15(6.4%) organ systemic disorder, 14(6.0%) bleeding, 12(5.2%) pancreatic fistula, 15(6.4%) reoperations, 16 postoperative death during hospitalization. The independent risk factors related to the postoperative complications included coexisting vital organ disorders, operation methods, main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter and surgeon’s experiences, those related to the death during hospitalization included preoperative serum creatinine, coexisting vital organ disorders, surgeon’s experiences; those related to the reoperation included preoperative CA19-9, surgeon’s experiences, tumor diameters, lymph nodes metastasis; and those related to the pancreatic fistula included operation methods, MPD diameters and surgeon’s experiences. Conclusion Coexisting vital organ disorders and surgeon’s experiences are the independent risk factors related to postoperative complications and death during hospitalization, operation methods, MPD diameter and surgeon’s experiences are the independent risk factors related to the pancreatic fistula. Thus, it is very important to choose the appropriate PD candidates, select the right operation method and to familiarize the operation.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the causes of biliary tract complications after liver transplantation, and to put forward effective measures of prevention, diagnosis and treatment. MethodsThe literatures of recent years were reviewed and summarized. Results The causes of biliary tract complications after liver transplantation are very complex, and there are no standard preventive measures. Treatment differs according to causes. ConclusionOne of the most important causes leading to biliary complications is preservative and ischemic injury. Poorly operative techniques and blood supply to biliary tract are also disastrous. Improving T tube placement can reduce the incidence of biliary complications related with T tube. To prevent biliary complications, it is crucial to completely wash the biliary tract， avoid damaging the blood supply to donor biliary tract and manage perfect biliary mucosatomucosa anastomosis without tension. T tube cholangiography combined with noninvasive MRCP enables accurate depiction of the biliary tree and diagnosis of biliary complications. Doppler ultrosonography should be routinely applied postoperatively. Timely application of interventional radiological technique is a valuable nonoperative procedure for treatment of biliary complications. Meanwhile, biliary sludge or cholestasis and mixed infections of biliary tract should be handled actively and properly.
Objective To understand the urination of orthopedic patients after the catheter is removed, and to explore the influencing factors of urodynia. Methods Convenient sampling was used to select 160 patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Orthopedics of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from May to July 2020. Questionnaires were used to investigate the patients’ urination, and a logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the patients’ urodynia. Results A total of 157 patients urinated by themselves after the catheter was removed, with 102 cases of dysuria. Logistic regression results showed that male [odds ratio (OR)=0.282, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.092, 0.863), P=0.027], Huaxi Emotional-Distress Index score [OR=1.407, 95%CI (1.124, 1.760), P=0.003] and intraoperative fluid infusion [OR=1.001, 95%CI (1.000, 1.002), P=0.014] were the influencing factors of urodynia. Conclusion Most orthopedic patients can urinate on their own after the catheter is removed, but more than half of the patients experience urodynia during the first urination. Gender, mental status and intraoperative fluid infusion are the influencing factors of urodynia after urinary catheter removal after surgery. Clinical nursing staff should identify these influencing factors as soon as possible and carry out targeted interventions to improve the success rate of patients with urination after removing the catheter, reduce the incidence of urodynia, and promote the recovery of patients.
Objective To explore whether bundled care for anesthesia management can reduce the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Methods The data of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients admitted to the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between July and November 2021 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a bundled care group and a control group based on whether anesthesia management was implemented according to the bundled care. The demographic characteristics, intraoperative anesthesia management methods, postoperative conditions, and incidence of PONV between the two groups of patients were analyzed and compared. Results A total of 314 patients were included. Among them, there were 124 cases in the bundled care group and 190 cases in the control group; PONV occurred in 52 cases, the incidence of PONV was 16.6% (52/314). Except for surgical time and postoperative incision infiltration (P>0.05), there were statistically significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, anesthesia time, airway establishment, and postoperative analgesic use between the two groups of patients (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of PONV between the bundled care group and the control group (17 vs. 35 cases; χ2=1.205, P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that PONV was correlated with gender [odds ratio=0.107, 95% confidence interval (0.030, 0.375), P<0.001], and using bundled care [odds ratio=0.388, 95% confidence interval (0.169, 0.894), P=0.026]. Conclusions Women are at high risk of PONV among patients undergoing day laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The risk of PONV is lower when using bundled care.
ObjectiveTo analyze the effect and incidence rate of major postoperative complications of pericardial devascularization in treatment of portal hypertension. MethodsEnglish and Chinese literatures about pericardial deva-scularization in treatment of portal hypertension were searched through Medline, Elsevier, PubMed, CNKI, and WanFang database, and meta analysis was taken in the process by using R-2.15 software. ResultsIn total of 671 literatures were searched and 23 were selected finally according to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.The results of meta analysis showed that, the effect of pericardial devascularization in treatment of portal hypertension were as follows:the incidence rate of rebleeding was 21%(95% CI: 0.18-0.24), the incidence rate of hepatic encephalopathy was 4%(95% CI: 0.02-0.06), the incidence rate of ascites was 29%(95% CI: 0.14-0.47), mortality of operation was 3%(95% CI: 0.02-0.04), mortality was 23%(95% CI: 0.15-0.33). ConclusionsThere is a certain incidence rate of complications of pericardial devascularization, of which the most common complication is rebleeding.So, it is necessary to do further improvement and development of pericardial devascularization.
Postoperative delirium is one of the most common postoperative complications in elderly patients, affecting the outcome of approximately half of surgical patients. The pathogenesis of postoperative delirium is still unclear, but multivariate models of the etiology of postoperative delirium are well-validated and widely accepted, and 40% of postoperative delirium can be effectively prevented by targeting predisposing factors. Benzodiazepines have long been considered as predisposing factors for postoperative delirium. Although benzodiazepines are widely used in clinical practice, most relevant guidelines recommend avoiding the use of benzodiazepines in the perioperative period to reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium. Controversy exists regarding the association of benzodiazepine use with postoperative delirium. This article discusses the results of studies on perioperative benzodiazepines and postoperative delirium.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the influence of dexmedetomidine on early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and serum inflammatory factors in elderly patients.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases from inception to April 2017, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about dexmedetomidine for early POCD in elderly patients. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 23 RCTs, including 2 026 patients were enrolled. The results of meta-analysis showed that, the incidence of POCD in the dexmedetomidine group was lower than that in the control group (the first day: RR=0.40, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.53, P<0.000 01; the third day: RR=0.33, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.48,P<0.000 01; the seventh day: RR=0.42, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.78,P=0.006). Meanwhile, compared with the control group, the dexmedetomidine group significantly decreased the serum levels of TNF-α (immediately after operation: MD=–5.43, 95%CI –7.44 to –3.42, P<0.000 01; 1 h after operation: MD=–4.64, 95%CI –6.92 to –2.36,P<0.000 1; 24 h after operation: MD=–3.27, 95%CI –4.92 to –1.63,P<0.000 1) and IL-6 (immediately after operation: MD=–30.69, 95%CI –41.39 to –20.00,P<0.000 01; 1h after operation: MD=–20.84, 95%CI –28.87 to –12.80,P<0.000 01; 24 h after operation: MD=–13.42, 95%CI –19.90 to –6.94,P<0.000 1).ConclusionCurrent evidence indicates that dexmedetomidine could relief early POCD in elderly patients, in which the reduction of serum inflammatory factors alleviate inflammation response may play a vital role. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality RCTs are required to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula" at different concentrations on patients after mixed hemorrhoidectomy. MethodsTwo hundred and ten patients having undergone mixed hemorrhoidectomy between October and November 2013 were randomized into seven groups, with 30 patients in each group. Group A was treated with 6% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula"; Group B was treated with 6% "Zhiji Fumigation Formula"; Group C was treated with 4% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula"; Group D was treated with 4% "Zhiji Fumigation Formula"; Group E was treated with 3% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula"; Group F was treated with 3% "Zhiji Fumigation Formula"; And Group G was treated with branch water. Each group was fumigated at 45℃ for five minutes, then hip bath at 40℃ for five minutes with a course of 10 days. The curative effect of pain of wound, edema, effusion, urinary disturbance were observed. ResultsThe therapeutic effect in group C was the best (P<0.05), and the relief of postoperative complications (pain, edema, effusion) was better than the other groups (P<0.05). ConclusionTreatment with 4% "Fuchuang Xunxi Formula" for postoperative complications is the most effective.
Objective To analyze the clinical risk factors of the occurrence of severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after scleral reattachment surgery. Methods A total of 4031 eyes of 4031 consecutive patients with reghmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and PVR (grade C1 or less), on whom the scleral buckling was performed, were retrospectively studied. Twenty-two clinical charac teristics of the patients (including the ocular tension, condition of lens and vitreous, characte ristics of retinal detachment, whether or not with choroidal detachment, et al) were recorded.In 4031 patients, 2660 were followed up for more than 3 months, and 72 (in PVR group) of the 2660 patients underwent the second surgery (vitre oretinal surgery) because of the occurrence of postoperative seve re PVR; in the other 2588 patients, 72 (72 eyes) with retinal reattachment for more than 3 months were selected randomly as the control. The data were analyzed in SPSS (10.0) software. Results Logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant risk factors for PVR were incomplete posterior vitreous detachment ( P＜0.001), intraocular pressure lt;7 mm Hg（1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa, P＜0.002）, and large retinal tear (gt;2 DD,P＜0.005). Conclusion Incomplete posterior vitreous detachment, intraocular pressure lt;7 mm Hg and large retinal tear of the patient with RRD may be the major risk factors for PVR.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of preoperative gum chewing on the postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.MethodsA total of 160 patients undergoing elective gynecologic laparoscopic surgery between January and May 2013 were selected to participate in the study. Each patient was randomly assigned to one of the two groups: the trial group (n=80) or the control group (n=80). Thirty to sixty minutes before the surgery, the patients in the trial group chewed one piece of sugarless gum for at least 30 minutes, and then removed the gum before being taken to the operating room; while the patients in the control group chewed nothing. The time to first passage of flatus and the time to first defecation after surgery, length of hospital stay, the degrees of pain at 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 24-, 48-hour after surgery, the incidences of postoperative nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension, postoperative analgesic and antiemetic drug requirement were recorded.ResultsThe mean time to first passage of flatus was significantly earlier in the trial group than that in the control group [(16.49±7.64) vs. (20.25±7.94) hours, P=0.003]. The mean time to first defecation was significantly earlier in the trial group than that in the control group [(48.16±15.25) vs. (55.80±18.97) hours, P=0.006]. The degree of pain at 2-hour after surgery was significantly lighter in the trial group than that in the control group (P<0.05). Fewer participants in the trial group than in the control group experienced postoperative nausea (43.75% vs. 61.25%, P=0.027). There were no significant differences in the length of hospital stay, the degrees of pain at 4-, 6-, 8-, 24- and 48-hour after surgery, incidences of postoperative vomiting and abdominal distension, postoperative analgesic, or antiemetic drug requirement between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsGum chewing before surgery can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, reduce postoperative short-term pain, and promote postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Gum chewing before surgery can be used clinically as an easy, inexpensive, safe, and effective procedure.
