Objective To explore the comprehensive treatment of synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach. Methods The treatment procedures of 8 patients with synchronous double cancers of the esophagus andstomach admitted in the Department of Digestive Tumor Surgery of The Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Jiangsu Province between Oct. 2006 to Feb. 2013 were analyzed. Some experience of comprehensive treatment of synch-ronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach was explored. Results Eight cases of synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach were all diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy. According to the results of CT and endoscopic ultrasonography assessment, lesions which were staged earlier than T1a were cured by endoscopic mucosal resection(6 cases, including 4 cases of esophagus cancer and 2 cases of gastric cancer), and resection operation (1 cases of esop-hagus cancer). The lesions staged later than T2 were treated by preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiation, surgery, and adjuvant chemoradiation after operation (8 cases, including 2 cases of esophagus cancer and 6 cases of gastric cancer), and simple operation (1 case). Eight patients had been followed-up for 10-76 months (averaged 41.3 months). Six patients survived without recurrence and metastasis during the followed-up, 1 patient died in 7 months after operation, and 1 patient relapsed in 20 months after operation. Conclusions Individually designed comprehensive treatment using neo-chemotherapy, intervention chemotherapy, radio-chemotherapy, radical resction surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and endoscopic mucosal resection can treat synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach effectively. Impr-actical pursuit for radical surgery will not result in good prognosis
Objective To compare the clinical effect of tissue selecting therapy stapler (TST) and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) in treatment of hemorrhoid in Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree.
Methods Clinical data of 80 cases of hemorrhoid in Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree who treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from May 2015 to July 2015 were retrospectively collected. All the 80 cases were divided into TST group (n=40) and PPH group (n=40) according to the surgical types. The comparison of the clinical effect of 2 groups was performed.
Results The operative time, hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, anal fall bilge feeling score, postoperative pain score at 3 time points, and the incidence of anal secretions of TST group were lower or shorter than those corresponding indexes of PPH group (P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in cure rate, the incidence of urinary retention, the incidence of anal stenosis, the incidence of intractable pain, and satisfaction situation between the 2 groups (P>0.05). All of the cases were followed up for 3 months, during the follow-up period, no one suffered from rectal vaginal fistula, fecal incontinence, and recurrence.
Conclusion TST and PPH both have satisfactory effect in treatment of hemorrhoid in Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree, but TST has advan-
tages of less blood loss, shorter operative time, rapid postoperative recovery, and less pain.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common, chronic disease of the digestive system. In recent years, endoluminal therapy for GERD has become a research hotspot. The reduced anti-reflux barrier function plays an important role in the occurrence of GERD. Peroral endoscopic therapy can improve the defect of anti-reflux barrier function. According to the involved layers, the endoscopic therapy can be classified as transmural which represented by transoral incisionless and transoral incisionless fundoplication, and non-transmural which represented by peroral endoscopic cardia constriction and radiofrequency ablation. This article reviews the progress of endoscopic non-full-thickness therapy for GERD in recent years, and introduces the action mechanism of peroral endoscopic therapy of GERD, the therapy of the mucosal layer and muscle layer of anti-reflux barrier, and other treatments. The purpose is to provide a reference for further exploring suitable endoscopic treatment of GERD.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of functional surgery in upper and middle gastric cancer.Method" functional gastric surgery” " pylorus-preserving gastrectomy” and " proximal gastrectomy” were used as search terms to retrieve the literatures, and various surgical methods and their application status were reviewed.ResultsFunctional gastric surgery can effectively improve the postoperative quality of life of patients with early gastric cancer in the upper and middle stomach.ConclusionFunctional gastric surgery is a feasible surgical method for early gastric cancer.
