Objective To explore the indications for liver transplantation among patients with hepatolithiasis. Methods Data from 1431 consecutive patients with hepatolithiasis who underwent surgical treatment from January 2000 to December 2006 were retrospectively collected for analysis. Surgical procedures included T-tube insertion combined with intraoperative cholangioscopic removal of intrahepatic stones, hepatectomy, cholangiojejunostomy, and liver transplantation. Results Nine hundred and sixty-one patients who had a stone located in the left or right intrahepatic duct underwent hepatectomy or T-tube insertion combined with intraoperative cholangioscopic removal of intrahepatic stones. The rate of residual stones was 7.5% (72/961). Four hundred and seventy patients who had a stone located in the bilateral intrahepatic ducts underwent surgical procedures other than liver transplantation; the rate of residual stones was 21.7% (102/470). Only 15 patients with hepatolithiasis underwent liver transplantation; they all survived. According to the degree of biliary cirrhosis, recipients were divided into 2 groups: a group with biliary decompensated cirrhosis (n=7), or group with biliary compensated cirrhosis or noncirrhosis group (n=8). There were significant differences in operative times, transfusion volumes and blood losses between 2 groups (P＜0.05). In the first group, 6 of 7 patients experienced surgical complications, and in the second, 8 recipients recovered smoothly with no complications. Health status, disability and psychological wellness of all recipients (n=15) were significantly improved in 1 year after transplantation as compared with pretransplantation (P＜0.05). Conclusion Liver transplantation is a possible method to address hepatolithiasis and secondary decompensated biliary cirrhosis or difficult to remove, diffusely distributed intrahepatic duct stones unavailable by hepatectomy, cholangiojejunostomy, and choledochoscopy.
Fifty three patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis were performed operation, treated surgically, including incision of the pancreatic capsule to release the pancreatic presure, removal of necrotic tissue, and placement of drainage tube around pancreas. Twenty two patients (41.5%) developed postoperative peripancreatic abscess. The average hospitalized days (83.3±25.1 days) of the patients with peripancreatic abscess was longer than those without (22.7±14.7 days) peripancreatic abscess (Ｐ＜0.01). Six cases of 28 (21.4%) patients who had localized or scattered pancreatic necrosis developed peripancreatic abscess, 16 cases of 25 (64.0%) patients who had subtotal or total pancreatic necrosis developed peripancreatic abscess which showed significant difference between two groups (Ｐ＜0.01). Among 21 patients in whom 2 to 4 doublelumened tubes for negative presure drainage were placed,5 cases (23.8%) had peripancreatic abscess but 32 patients with only one tube placed, 17 patients (53.1%) had peripancreatic abscess, the difference between two groups were significant (Ｐ＜0.05). At least 6 patients whose drainage tubes worked badly produced postoperative peripancreatic abscess. These results indicate that the peripancreatic abscess is closely related with the severity of the disease, surgical treatment, and proper postoperative care of the drainage tubes.
Objective To evaluate the effect of regiono-perfusional chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to seek the management of its complications. MethodsThirty-six patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma received selectively intra-arterial catheterization and perfused with 5-Fu, ADM, DDP. Results Six patients had complete response, 15 partial response, and one underwent radical resection subsequently. Cmplications occurred in 14 patients with 2 patients died of complications.Conclusion Regiono-perfusional chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is effective, but the complications can not be neglected.
【Abstract】 Objective To review the progress of autologous fat grafting of the face and outline different arguments in this field. Methods Recent literature concerning autologous fat grafting of the face was reviewed and analyzed. Results The applications and techniques for autologous fat grafting have been matured increasingly. It not only can adjust the proportion of facial contours, restore tissue volume, but also can improve the local skin texture. Reliable clinical results have achieved in facial augmentation and rejuvenation. Although there are arguments about donor site, harvesting technique, processing technique, and grafting technique, the basic principle is the same. Conclusion From the perspective of evidence-based medicine, clinicians are rich in clinical experience, but objective evidence is insufficient. So further researches should be carried to look for scientific evidences.
The report of brachial plexus injuries following radical mastectomy in patients with breast cancer was rare even though the operation was a main measure in treating with breast cancer. Nine patients treated from Oct. 1989 to Feb.1991 were summarized. The results were not ideal.
Objective To summarize the clinical experience of liver retransplantation. Methods Six liver retransplantations were performed. The indications consisted of primary non-function (PNF, 2 cases), acute or chronic rejection (2 cases), stomas stenosis of biliary tract (1 case) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (1 case). The immunosuppressive protocols included tacrolimus, methylprednisolone (MP) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Results Five patients were cured. One patient died on day 4 after liver retransplantation because of multiple organ failure. Postoperative complications included deep fungal infection and wound infection. Conclusions Liver retransplantation is an effective method for graft failure after liver transplantation. Proper indication and optimum operative time, intensive perioperative supervision and proper treatment are very important to improv effect of liver retransplantation.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the result of liver transplantation for end stage liver disease. Methods A retrospective analysis was made for 7 cases orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT) and 4 cases living related liver transplantation (5 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and 6 with Wilson’s disease),cirrhosis group was treated with lamivudine plus low dose anti-HBV-Ig. Results Ten patients were completely recovered discharged(including 4 cases LRLT) and only 1 died of ARDS.The complications after operation were: 2 cases of abdominal hemorrhage,3 cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome; and 4 cases of hepatitis B cirrhosis were HBV-DNA(-) after operation.Copperoxidase in all with Wilson’s disease became normal. Conclusion Liver transplantation is effective measure for end stage liver disease and living related liver transplantation is suitable for the present medical condition in China.Surgical technique is crucial for reducing perioperative complications.
Objective To investigate the effect of ventral urethroplasty for postoperative anastomotic stricture in patients with hypospadias. Methods From August 2000 to December 2005, 20 patients with anastomotic stricture after hypospadias repair were treated with ventral urethroplasty. The age ranged from 2 to 27 years with an average of 6.4 years. All patients showed dysuria after operation. Main clinical manifestation included dysuria and acraturesis. Interruption of urinary stream occurred in 17 cases; of them, 3 cases had urinary stasis and 4cases had frequent micturition, urgent micturition and pain in urination. Urethrography and cystourethrography showed 0.5-1.0 cm stricture with proximal dilat ion of urethra in 16 cases and obvious diverticularization in 9 cases. Urine routine examination showed that white blood cell was ++ to ++++ in 16 cases and pus cell was ± to++ in 13 cases.Results Twenty cases were followed up 2 months to 4 years (mean 2.3 years). All the cases achieved good results in urination with normosthenuria and normal force of urinary stream. No recurrent stricture, urethrocutaneous fistula, or penile curvature occurred. The cosmesis was satisfactory, and the results of urine routine examination was normal. Conclusion Ventral urethroplasty for postoperative anastomotic stricture inpatients with hypospadias is a simple and effective procedure.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of intraabdominal complications (IACs), pancreatic fistula (PF), and operative death after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), and to provide a theoretical basis in reducing the rates of them.
MethodsClinical data of 78 patients who underwent standard PD surgery in The Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from Jun. 2003 to Nov. 2011 were collected to analyze the influence factors of IACs, PF, and operative death.
ResultsThere were 29 cases suffered IACs (13 cases of PF included), and 6 case died during 1 month after operation. Univariate analysis results showed that IACs and PF occurred more often in patients with soft friable pancreas, diameter of main pancreatic duct less than 3 mm, preoperative biliary drainage, no pancreatic duct stenting, and without employment of somatostatin (P < 0.05), no influence factor was found to be related to operative death. Multivariate analysis results showed that patients with no pancreatic duct stenting (OR=1.867, P=0.000), soft texture of remnant stump (OR=1.356, P=0.046), and diameter of main pancreatic duct less than 3 mm (OR=2.874, P=0.015) suffered more IACs; PF was more frequent in patient with no pancreatic duct stenting (OR=1.672, P=0.030), soft texture of remnant stump (OR=1.946, P=0.042), and diameter of main pancreatic duct less than 3 mm (OR=1.782, P=0.002);no independent factor was found to have relationship with operative death.
ConclusionsSoft texture of remnant stump, diameter of main pancreatic duct less than 3 mm, and no pancreatic duct stenting are independent risk factors that should be considered in indications for PD surgery.
One thousand four hundred and fifty-four cases of operations for gastric carcinoma in this hospital from 1983 to 1994 are reviewed. 121 out of 1454 patients sustained 168 occurrences of early postoperative complications. The patiets involvement rate was 8.32% and the occurrence rate of complications was 11.55%. Complications could be divided into two groups, the general complication after surery (8.25%) and complication relavent to gastrointestinal reconstruction (3.30%). Most common complications were wound infection, pulmonary infection, anastomotic obstruction or leakage. The authors stress the prevention of surgical complications that would furhter improve the therapeutic result of gastric cancer.
