Objective To analyse the factors of complications aftertreatment of intertrochanteric fractures with Gamma nail. Methods From January 1998 to May 2004, 50 patients were treated with Gamma nail, including 18 males and 32 females and ageing from 47 to 82 years. The locations were the left side in 16 cases andthe right in 34 cases. According to Evans classification, there were 4 cases oftype Ⅰ, 2 cases of type Ⅱ, 23 cases of type Ⅲ, 10 cases of type Ⅳ and 11 cases of type Ⅴ. Results Fifty patients were followed up 429 months. Accordingto the Harris criterion for evaluation, the results were excellent and good in 35 cases, showing sthenic weight loading walking and normal range of motion of the hip joint. The postoperative complications appeared in 15 cases: 5 cases of coxa vara or coxa valga, 3 cases of rotation deformity of lower limb, 2 cases oftension screwprotrusions and lower shorten, 1 case of failure of internal fixation, 1 case of femoral fracture, 2 cases of coxalgia and 1 case of pain in knee joint and stiff knee joint. Conclusion The reason of complications was various, mainly lies in insufficient comprehension and analysis of the types of fractures, unfamiliarity with the characteristics and usage of the instruments and neglected rehabi litation instruction, inappropriate functional training and too early weight loading after operation.
Objective To explore the influence of cirrhotic portal hypertension and its complications on liver transplantation. Methods The literatures of the recent years on influence of hepatic cirrhotic portal hypertension on liver transplantation were reviewed. Results Splenomegaly, hypersplenism, portal vein thrombosis, portosystemic shunt and collateral flow in cirrhotic patients will increase the difficulty of liver transplantation and lead to more postoperative complications. Appropriate handling of these conditions can achieve a higher success rate of liver transplantation. Conclusion Correct management of end-stage cirrhotic portal hypertension and its complications can expand the indications of liver transplantation and improve long-term survival rates.
Objective To evaluate the complication rate of CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy and determine the risk factors. Methods A retrospective investigation of patients with CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy in Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between2002 and 2009 was performed. The risk factors for complications were determined by multivariate analysis of variables related to patients’demographics, lung lesions, biopsy procedures, and individual radiological features. Results 281 biopsy procedures were enrolled. The total complication rate was 55. 9% with pneumothorax 32. 4% ( 91/281) , hemoptysis 34. 5% ( 97 /281) , and cutaneous emphysema2. 1% ( 6 /281) , and with no mortality.The pneumothorax rate was correlated with lesion location, lesion depth, and number of pleural passes. The bleeding risk was correlated with lesion size, lesion depth, and age. Prediction models for pneumothorax and bleeding were deduced by logistic regression. The pneumothorax model had a sensitivity of 80. 0% and a specificity of 62. 4% . And the bleeding model had a sensitivity of 67. 4% and a specificity of 88. 8% .Conclusions Lesion location, lesion depth, and number of pleural passes were independent risk factors for pneumothorax. Lesion size, lesion depth, and age were independent risk factors for bleeding. The prediction models for pneumothorax and bleeding will helpfully reduce the complication of CT-guided lung biopsy.
【Abstract】Objective To study the clinical application of laparoscopic operation. Methods The clinical findings from 13 840 cases of laparoscopic surgery in this hospital from 1992 to 2005 were reviewed retrospectively.Results Laparoscopic operation were performed successfully in 13 653（98.6%）,187 cases were transferred to open operation. Complications were occurred in 115 cases, including common bile duct injury in 3 cases. Combined treatment with laparoscope and endoscope were performed in 162 cases. Eleven thousand three hundred and fiftytwo patients had been succeeded in followup survey. Over 90.0 percent of patients recovered smoothly. Conclusion Laparoscopic operation may be applied in a more extensive scope. The major complications can be reduced by strict procedures of laparoscopic operation. The combined treatment of laparoscope and endoscope should be further studied and widely used.
ObjectiveTo investigate clinical efficacy of percutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
MethodsEighty-six patients with SAP in this hospital from August 2012 to November 2015 were selected, which were divided into percutaneous nephroscope treatment group (43 cases) and laparotomy treat-ment group (43 cases) according to the difference of therapy modality. The conventional drug therapy was performed for all of them. The postoperative recovery, content of serum C reactive protein (CRP) on day 14 after operation, and post-operative complications were observed in these two groups.
Results① The abdominal pain relief time, postoperative bowel sounds recovery time, normal body temperature recovery time, and postoperative hospitalization time in the percu-taneous nephroscope treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the laparotomy treatment group (P<0.05). ② The contents of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group and in the laparotomy treatment group on day 14 after operation were significantly lower than those on day 1 before operation[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (31.44±3.45) mg/L, P<0.05; (16.42±2.44) mg/L versus (32.09±2.98) mg/L, P<0.05]. On day 14 after operation, the content of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treat-ment group[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (16.42±2.44) mg/L, P<0.05]. ③ The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treatment group[14.0% (6/43) versus 32.6% (14/43), P<0.05].
ConclusionPercutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with SAP is effect, it has advantages of shorter hospital stay and early recovery, which could reduce incidence of postoperative complications, and it's mechanism might be related to systemic inflammatory response.
Partial or complete blockage of the bile outflow tract by extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma often leads to jaundice, which not only causes skin itching in patients, but also destroys the body environment through a series of pathophysiological processes, reduces the surgical tolerance of patients with resectable tumors, and affects the prognosis. Preoperative jaundice reduction can reduce jaundice and relieve biliary obstruction, but the various complications that follow will also adversely affect the treatment. This article elaborates on the disadvantages of different methods for jaundice reduction, the indications for preoperative jaundice reduction, the jaundice reduction options for different types of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, the complications and treatment methods of preoperative jaundice reduction for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, aiming to provide a reference for clinicians, so that patients can better benefit from preoperative jaundice reduction.
ObjectiveTo investigate the optimal catheter extubation time by comparing the postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with catheter extubation at different times.
MethodsBetween May and August 2013, 60 patients needing total hip replacement were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30 in each. The patients' average age of the experimental group was 75.6 years (65-87 years) and of the control group was 76.9 years (66-85 years). Extubation was performed within 24 hours after surgery in the experimental group, while it was performed after 24 hours after surgery in the control group. All the patients underwent clean catheterization with a Foley catheter two hours before surgery. The catheter indwelling time, first time of self-urination, urination after extubation, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups carefully.
ResultsThe incidence of complications (urinary retention, urethral pain, cystospasm and urinary irritant symptoms) in the experimental group was significantly less than the control group (P<0.05). The first urination time had no significant difference (P>0.05) between the two groups.
ConclusionThe extraction of indwelling catheter in the early postoperative period (within 24 hours) can reduce the incidence of complications and is better for the early postoperative rehabilitation.
With the development of surgical technology and the need of clinical, transesophageal echocardiography is more and more favored by clinicians. Although the transesophageal echocardiography has developed more than 20 years, yet it has not been widely used in operation at present in domestic. In addition, its application in surgery of children is more rare. It has been confirmed that intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography has good safety and wide range of application. We will summarize indications, complications, and the progress of the current technology from the scope of transesophageal echocardiography in pediatric surgery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of undernutrition, nutritional risk as well as nutritional support in patients with gastrointestinal tumor. MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, patients with gastrointestinal tumor were recruited from Septemper 2009 to June 2011. Patients were screened by using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) at admission. Data of the nutritional risk, application of nutritional support, complications, and tumor staging were collected. ResultsNine hundred and sixty-one patients with gastrointestinal tumor were recruited, the overall prevalence of nutritional risk was 38.9% (374/961) at admission, 49.2% （176/358） in gastric tumor and 32.8% （198/603） in colorectal tumor, respectively. The highest prevalence was found in stage Ⅳ gastric tumor 〔87.3% (48/55)〕 and colorectal tumor 〔58.8% (50/85)〕 while the lowest prevalence was found in stage ⅡA gastric tumor 〔16.1% (5/31)〕 and stageⅠcolorectal tumor 〔9.8% (6/61)〕. 62.3% (152/244) of gastric tumor patients with nutritional risk while 48.6% (144/296) without nutritional risk received nutritional support. 37.7% (92/244) of colorectal tumor patients with nutritional risk while 51.4% (152/296) without nutritional risk received nutritional support. The ratio of parental nutrition and enteral nutrition was 1.251. The rate of complications in the gastrointestinal tumor patients with nutritional risk was higher than that in the patients without nutritional risk 〔32.4% (121/374) versus 20.4% (120/587), P=0.000 0〕. For the gastrointestinal tumor patients with nutritional risk, the complication rate of the patients with nutritional support was significantly lower than that of the patients without nutritional support 〔27.5% (67/244) versus 40.8% (53/130), P=0.008 6〕. For the gas trointestinal tumor patients without nutritional risk, the complication rate of gastric tumor patients with nutritional support was significantly lower than that of the patients without nutritional support (P=0.039 6), while the complication rate was not significantly different in the colorectal tumor patients with nutritional support or not (P=0.464 7). ConclusionsPatient with gastrointestinal tumor has a high nutritional risk which is related to tumor staging. Patients with nutritional risk have more complications, and nutritional support is beneficial to the patients with nutritional risk by a lower complication rate.
ObjectiveTo discuss the treatment of retroperitoneal tumors infiltrating celiac trunk.
MethodFifteen cases of retroperitoneal tumors who underwent surgery in our hospital between December 2014 to December 2015 were reviewed and analyzed.
ResultsAll of the 15 cases had underwent operation, and the blood loss was 300-2200 mL (mean of 600 mL), operation time was 125-600 minutes (mean of 240 minutes). Length of stay in cases of celiac trunk resected was 10-23 days (mean of 15.1 days), and length of stay in cases of celiac trunk nonresected was 15-132 days (mean of 35.2 days). Thirty cases of them were complete resection, and 2 cases were mostly resection. Eight cases of them did not injure celiac trunk, 1 case suffered from complication, 7 cases injured celiac trunk and all of them suffered from complication. There were significant statistical difference in incidence of complications (χ2=8.14, P=0.01) in cases of celiac trunk injury or not. All the cases were followed up for 3-13 months (mean of 6.3 months), 2 cases recurred during the follow-up period, 1 case was leiomyosarcoma, and another 1 was malignant fibrous histiocytoma who underwent celiac trunk resection.
ConclusionsWhen retroperitoneal tumors infiltrates celiac trunk, we can resect the celiac trunk, but we must follow a certain principle.
