Objective To evaluate surgical treatment of infected pseudoaneurysm (PA) caused by injection of addictive drugs. Methods The clinical data of 17cases of infected PA caused by drug injection were reviewed retrospectively. Ofthem, 1 case was female, and the other 16 cases were male, aging 24-38 years. The locations were brachial artery in 1 case and femoral artery in 16 cases. Fourteen cases were treated by artificial blood vessel transplantation after resection of the aneurysm and radical debridement, 1 case by amputation for serious infection, and 2 cases by non-operation for different reasons. Results Among 14 cases treated by prosthetic grafts, 13 cases achieved satisfactory results, no blood drawback of lower extremity occurred after operation; 1 case had to be amputated for serious infection. After 3 months of operation, the color Doppler examination showed that the 9 artificial vessel grafts were patent and the pulse of arteria dorsal pedis was good. Conclusion Though artificial vessel grafting has high risk in the vicinity of infected PA, it is still an effective procedure for revascularization in condition that there is no suitable autogenous conduit available for auto transplantation. Sufficient drainage, anti-infection and anti-coagulation therapy should be the key factors after the operation.
Objective
To carry out the systematic clinical management to reduce the incidence of femoral pseudoaneurysm after interventional treatment.
Methods
A historical controlled study was used to compare the management effect before (from October 2012 to October 2013) and after (from March 2014 to March 2015) the application of doctor-nurse integrated systematic clinical management mode. This work mode enhanced cooperation between doctors and nurses, formed the clinical path for nursing workflows and contingency plans, and strengthened specialized education and training for nurses.
Results
After the implementation of systematic clinical management, the incidence of femoral pseudoaneurysm was significantly lower than before (1.0% vs. 2.7%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The systematic clinical management, carrying out in the doctor-nurse integration mode, can improve the quality of nursing and reduce the incidence of femoral pseudoaneurysm. And the management model has achieved remarkable results. So it is worth to be applied in the clinical practices.
ObjectiveTo determine the characters of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis and effects of surgical treatment with two kinds of procedure （internal drainage or external drainage）. MethodsOne hundred and fifteen cases hospitalized during recent ten years were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsWe found that necrotic tissue existed in the pseudocyst in most cases and infection might occur in these pseudocyst. Although effect of two kinds of surgery was similar, the clinical course was different. The complications after surgery were fewer in patients underwent internal drainage than that with procedure of external drainage, and average hospital day was 7d in cases with internal drainage and 11d in cases with external one respectively. Surgery of internal drainage used in treatment was not only successful in noninfectious and single pseudocyst, but in infectious or multiple seudocyst.ConclusionInternal drainage should be used in most cases and considered as the first selection in surgery of pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis.
ObjectiveTo investigate diagnosis and treatment of rupture of pancreatic cystic disease.
MethodThe clinical data of 20 patients who were diagnosed as pancreatic cystic disease combined with rupture in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from June 2011 to December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results① For the 5 patients with pancreatic cystic tumor, 3 patients of them received distal pancreatectomy and 2 patients of them received Whipple procedure. For the 15 patients with pancreatic pseudocyst, 2 patients received ultrasound-guided cyst puncture and drainage, 2 patients received endoscopic retrograde pancreatic drainage (ERPD), 2 patients received ERPD plus ultrasound-guided cyst puncture and drainage, 1 patient received pancreatic external drainage, 3 patients received pancreatic cyst-gastric anastomosis, 5 patients received pancreatic cyst-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis. ② Pancreatic fistula occurred in 3 patients (Grade A 2 cases, Grade B 1 case), delayed gastric emptying was found in 1 patient, peritoneal effusion occurred in 1 patient. ③ Eighteen of them were followed up from 3 to 60 months with an average 25.6 months, 2 patients recurred and non-surgical treatments were taken.
ConclusionsHow to correctly identify pancreatic cystic tumor with pancreatic pseudocyst is premise of treatment. Pancreatic cystic disease combined with rupture requires urgent therapy. Based on clinical manifestations, optimal selection might achieve a better prognosis.
ObjectiveTo compare the effects of medical glue and stapling in the prevention of postoperative seroma for patients undergoing laparoscopic direct hernia repair.
MethodsNinty-four patients were randomly by computer generated randomization number divided into two groups: medical glue group (medical glue was used to fix pseudo-direct hernia sac) and stapling group (staple was used to fix pseudo-direct hernia sac).The time of follow-up was two years.The operative time, length of hospital stay, the pain level on first day and 7th day after operation, postoperative complications (seroma, wound infection, wound bleeding), hospital costs, and hernia recurrence rate within 2 years were observed.
ResultsThe medical glue group compared with the stapling group, the operative time was shorter〔(35±5.1) min vs.(41±7.5) min〕, hospitalization time was shorter〔(4±0.51) d vs.(5±0.83) d〕, lower postoperative pain score〔the first day: (5±0.52) scores vs.(6±0.33)scores; the 7th day: (3±0.67) scores vs.(4±0.53) scores〕, and lower cost in hospital〔(5 731±560.50) yuan vs.(8 715±534.33) yuan〕, there were significant difference (P < 0.05).The incidence of seroma and other complications after operation and postoperative 1-year and 2-year hernia recurrence rate showed no significant differences (P > 0.05).
ConclusionsThe medical glue has good prevention effects on postoperative seroma for patients undergoing laparoscopic direct hernia surgery, with shorter operative time and lower cost.This method is suitable for all levels of hospitals
