OBJECTIVE: To explore the methods of treatment for old achilles tendon rupture merging with skin defect. METHODS: By following up retrospectively 10 patients from February 1995 to December 2001, we analyzed the operative methods, the points for attention and the results. Gastrocnemius musculocutaneous flaps were used in 3 cases, foot lateral skin flaps in 4 cases, superior medial malleolus skin flaps in 2 cases, and sural neural skin flap in 1 case. The Achilles tendon was sutured directly in 8 patients, with Lindholm’s technique in 2 patients. RESULTS: All flaps survived and the wound healed well in 8 cases and reruptured in 2 cases. According to Yin Qing-shui’s criteria to test the efficacy, the results were excellent in 5 patients, good in 4 and poor in 1. CONCLUSION: Repairing the old Achilles tendon rupture merging with skin defect by use of microsurgery has good results and plays an important role in reducing joint contracture and stiffness, and in saving the ability to push forward and flex.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the perinatal outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy versus transabdominal myomectomy.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were searched from inception to July 2017, to collect randomized controlled trials or cohort studies comparing the perinatal outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy and transabdominal myomectomy. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of include studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsEight randomized controlled trials, twenty-one cohort studies involving 4357 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the premature birth rate (OR=0.60, 95%CI 0.38 to 0.95, P=0.03) in the laparoscopic myomectomy was lower than that in the laparotomy group. However, the rate of uterine rupture during pregnancy (OR=3.19, 95%CI 1.29 to 7.89, P=0.01) in the laparoscopic myomectomy was higher than that in the laparotomy group. There were no significant differences between two groups in the myoma residual (OR=1.00, 95%CI 0.37 to 2.65, P=0.99), recurrence (OR=0.92, 95%CI 0.68 to 1.25, P=0.60), abortion (OR=0.90, 95%CI 0.63 to 1.28, P=0.56), ectopic pregnancy (OR=1.11, 95%CI 0.54 to 2.26, P=0.78), pregnancy rate (OR=1.06, 95%CI 0.89 to 1.27, P=0.52), cesarean (OR=0.82, 95%CI 0.57 to 1.19, P=0.31), and pregnancy complications (OR=0.84, 95%CI 0.45 to 1.59, P=0.60).ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that there are no significant differences between two groups in the myoma residual, myoma recurrence, abortion, ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy rate, cesarean and pregnancy complications. While the rate of uterine rupture during pregnancy in the laparoscopic myomectomy is higher than that in the laparotomy group, the premature birth rate after operation in the laparoscopic myomectomy is lower and shorter than that in the laparotomy group. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
Objectives
To analyze the risk factors of uterine rupture in pregnancy in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital in recent years.
Methods
The clinical data of pregnant uterine rupture patients who were hospitalized in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 were collected. The risk factors of uterine rupture in pregnancy were analyzed compared with the maternal delivery during the same period. The SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis.
Results
A total of 69 patients with uterine rupture were included, involving 14 cases of complete uterine rupture and 55 cases of incomplete uterine rupture. Compared with the pregnant females who were hospitalized during the same period, the incidence of uterine rupture in patients with scar uterus after cesarean section, history of laparoscopic hysterosalping surgery, placental implantation, twins and uterine malformation was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Among them, the risk of uterine rupture was greater in the interpregnancy interval (IPI)>24 months after cesarean section in patients with scar uterus. There was no significant difference in the incidence of uterine rupture between the elderly and the multiple pregnant females and the maternal delivery during the same period (P>0.05).
Conclusions
Scar uterus (postoperative cesarean section), history of laparoscopic hysterosalping surgery, placental implantation, twins, and uterine malformation are possible risk factors for uterine rupture in pregnancy. Among them, patients with scar uterus have a greater risk of uterine rupture with IPI>24 months.
Objective To compare the difference of the changes of platelet counts after splenectomy between the patients with splenic rupture and patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, and to analyze the possible reasons and clinical significance. Methods The platelet count of 47 splenic rupture patients and 36 cirrhosis patients who had been carried out splenectomy from July 2008 to December 2009 in our hospital were counted, and the differences in platelet count and it’s change tendency of two groups were compared. Results In the splenic rupture group，the platelet count of all 47 patients increased abnormally after operation, the maxlmum value of platelet count among 300×109/L-600×109/L in 6 cases，600×109/L-900×109/L in 21 cases，and above 900×109/L in 20 cases. In the cirrhosis group，the maxlmum value of platelet count after operation was above 300×109/L in 26 cases，100×109/L-300×109/L in 8 cases，and below 100×109/L in 2 cases. The difference of maxlmum value of platelet count in the two groups had statistic significance（P=0.00）. Compared with the cirrhosis group, the platelet count increased more significant and decreased more slow in splenic rupture group（P＜0.05）.The abnormal days and rising range of platelet count were higher in patient with Child A than Child B and C（P=0.006，P=0.002）. Conclusions The change of platelet count after operation in splenic rupture group was obviously different from cirrhosis group because of the difference of the liver function and body situation of patients. To patients with splenic rupture or cirrhosis, appropriate treatment based on the platelet count and liver function could obtain good therapeutic effect.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of Achillon Achilles tendon suture guide combined with circuit suture under the perineural channel and Krachow suture with posterolateral incision of Achilles tendon in the treatment of Kuwada type Ⅱ acute closed Achilles tendon rupture. Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with Kuwada type Ⅱ acute closed Achilles tendon rupture who met the selection criteria between January 2020 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Krachow suture via posterolateral incision was used in 24 cases (traditional group), and Achillon Achilles tendon suture guide combined with circuit suture via perineural channel was used in 14 cases (minimally invasive group). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as age, gender, body mass index, cause of injury, time from injury to operation, characteristics of Achilles tendon injury (broken end distance, stump length), and preoperative Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot function score between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, incision length, hospital stay, and complications (re-tear, incision infection, sural nerve irritation, deep venous thrombosis) were recorded. ATRS score and AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function score were used to evaluate the effectiveness before operation and at 3 and 6 months after operation. Results All patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time, incision length, and hospital stay in the minimally invasive group were significantly shorter than those in the traditional group (P<0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up 8-16 months, with an average of 12.7 months. There was no sural nerve injury or re-tear of Achilles tendon in both groups. In the traditional group, 1 case had incision infection,1 case had suture rejection, and 1 case had intermuscular venous thrombosis; in the minimally invasive group, no incision healing complication, suture knot discomfort, or thrombosis occurred. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P=0.283). The ATRS score and AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function score of the two groups were improved after operation, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Except that there was no significant difference in AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function scores between the two groups at 6 months after operation (P>0.05), the ATRS scores and AOFAS ankle and hindfoot function scores in the minimally invasive group were significantly better than those in the traditional group at other time points (P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of Kuwada type Ⅱ acute closed Achilles tendon rupture with Achillon Achilles tendon suture guide combined with circuit suture via the perineural channel has similar ankle function comparable to traditional operation, but the incision is smaller and the incidenc of incision infection is lower, which is beneficial for patients to recover early ankle function.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of a suture bridge technique for quadriceps tendon rupture repair in uraemic patients.
MethodsBetween March 2010 and September 2012, 10 uraemic patients (14 sides) with quadriceps tendon rupture were treated with the suture bridge technique. Of them, 8 were male and 2 were female, aged from 30 to 62 years (mean, 54.2 years). The duration of uremia was 3-11 years (mean, 5.5 years);the duration of quadriceps tendon rupture was 5 days to 2 months (median, 12 days). Six cases had a trauma history, and one case had diabetes. The left side was involved in 2 cases, the right side in 4 cases, and both sides in 4 cases. The active range of motion (ROM) of the knees was (115.0±8.3)°in flexion, and (72.5±21.2)°in extension. Lysholm score was 19.5±16.3. X-ray films showed downward shifting of patella. MRI revealed discontinuity between distal quadriceps tendon and upper pole of patella.
ResultsThe operation time was 30-50 minutes (mean, 40.3 minutes). Primary healing of incision was obtained in all patients without complications. All patients were followed up 12-25 months (mean, 16.3 months). There was no re-rupture of quadriceps tendon or loosening of internal fixation during follow-up. At last follow-up, the active ROM of the knees was (121.0±7.9)°in flexion, showing no significant difference when compared with preoperative one (t=-2.075, P=0.058); the active ROM was (8.2±6.1)°in extension, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative one (t=11.702, P=0.000). Lysholm score was 84.6±12.4, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative score (t=-16.226, P=0.000). According to the American Knee Society score (KSS), the results were excellent in 4 sides, good in 9 sides, and fair in 1 side, and the total excellent and good rate was 92.9%. At last follow-up, the active ROM of the knee, Lysholm score, and KSS score were significantly better in young patients (<45 years) than in elder patients (≥45 years), and in patients receiving early operation (<2 weeks) than in patients receiving late operation (≥2 weeks) (P<0.05).
ConclusionFor fewer traumas and early functional exercise after operation, the suture bridge technique benefits functional restoration of knee joint in uraemic patients. Operation chance and age seem to be important factors to the results. Early operation should be considered when quadriceps tendon ruptured.
Objective?To investigate clinical characteristics， diagnosis， and treatment for patients with spontaneous esophageal rupture， and improve clinical diagnostic and treatment level.?Methods?We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 34 patients with spontaneous esophageal rupture who were treated in Subei People’s Hospital from January 1996 to June 2010. There were 28 male patients and 6 female patients with their age ranging from 32 to 80 years old (mean 57.6 years old). Main clinical manifestations included severe chest and abdominal pain after vomiting， fever， dyspnea and shock. The duration between disease onset and establishing diagnosis ranged from 4 hours to 7 days. Thirteen patients received conservative treatment including chest drainage， retrograde gastrointestinal decompression and enteral nutrition through jejunostomy. Twenty one patients received surgical treatment including layered anastomosis of the ruptured esophagus， retrograde gastrointestinal decompression and enteral nutrition through jejunostomy.?Results?All the patients were cured without in-hospital death. The mean hospital stay of the 13 patients who received conservative treatment was 46 days， while that of the 21 patients who received surgical treatment was 17 days. All the ruptured esophagus were one-stage healed. All the 34 patients were followed up from l to 8 years， including 11 patients in the conservative treatment group and 19 patients in the surgical treatment group， but 4 patients was lost during follow-up. All the patients had a normal diet without symptoms of esophageal stricture， reflux esophagitis or chronic thoracic empyema.?Conclusion Spontaneous esophageal rupture is a thoracic emergency with a high misdiagnosis rate and mortality．Early diagnosis， early surgical repair of ruptured esophagus and satisfactory chest drainage play a vital role in the treatment for patients with spontaneous rupture of esophagus.

ObjectivesTo systematically review the risk factors of complete uterine rupture so as to provide evidence for prevention of uterine rupture.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect case-control studies or cohort studies on the risk of complete uterine rupture from inception to October, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the quality of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 18 studies, involving 2 104 607 cases were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the risk factors of complete uterine rupture included single-layer suture of uterine incision (OR=1.78, 95%CI 1.15 to 2.78, P=0.01), induction of labor (OR=1.72, 95%CI 1.21 to 2.45, P=0.003) (case-control studies) and (OR=2.66, 95%CI 1.87 to 3.79, P<0.000 01) (cohort studies), induction with prostaglandins (OR=3.23, 95%CI 1.48 to 7.06, P=0.003), induction with oxytocin (OR=3.97, 95%CI 1.65 to 9.59, P=0.002), and augmentation of labor with oxytocin (OR=2.17, 95%CI 1.53 to 3.09, P<0.000 1) (case-control studies) and (OR=2.29, 95%CI 1.24 to 4.23, P=0.008) (cohort studies). There was no significant relationship between birth weight and complete uterine rupture (OR=1.26, 95%CI 0.74 to 2.17, P=0.40).ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that single layer suture of uterine incision, induction of labor, induction with prostaglandins, induction with oxytocin and augmentation of labor with oxytocin are the risk factors of complete uterine rupture. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
Objective
To investigate the difference of effect between laparoscopic and open surgery in patients with traumatic rupture of spleen.
Methods
The literatures on comparison of laparoscopic and open surgery in patients with traumatic rupture of spleen were retrieved in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases from Jan. 2007 to Jan. 2017, and then Stata 12.0 software was applied to present meta-analysis.
Results
① The condition during operation: compared with the OS group, operative time of the LS group was shorter [SMD=–0.71, 95% CI was (–1.12, –0.30), P=0.001] and intraoperative blood loss of the LS group was less [SMD=–1.53, 95% CI was (–2.28, –0.78), P<0.001]. ② The postoperative condition: compared with the OS group, the postoperative anal exhaust time [SMD=–2.47, 95% CI was (–3.24, –1.70), P<0.001], postoperative ambulation time [SMD=–2.97, 95% CI was (–4.32, –1.62), P<0.001], and hospital stay [SMD=–1.68, 95% CI was (–2.15, –1.21), P<0.001] of the LS group were all shorter. ③ The overall incidence of complications and the incidence of complications: on the one hand, compared with the OS group, patients in the LS group had a lower overall incidence of postoperative complications [OR=0.29, 95% CI was (0.19, 0.43), P<0.001]. On the other hand, compared with the OS group, patients in the LS group had lower incidences of infection [OR=0.27, 95% CI was (0.13, 0.55), P<0.001], ascites [OR=0.36, 95% CI was (0.13, 1.00), P=0.049], bleeding [OR=0.29, 95% CI was (0.10, 0.90), P=0.032], ileus [OR=0.34, 95% CI was (0.13, 0.90), P=0.030], incision fat liquefaction [OR=0.27, 95% CI was (0.08, 0.94), P=0.040], and incision rupture [OR=0.17, 95% CI was (0.03, 0.96), P=0.045]. However, there was no statistical difference on splenectomy fever [OR=0.41, 95% CI was (0.13, 1.27), P=0.123], pancreatic fistula [OR=0.40, 95% CI was (0.06, 2.63), P=0.343], liver function lesion [OR=0.36, 95% CI was (0.10, 1.34), P=0.127], and thrombosis [OR=0.33, 95% CI was (0.09, 1.22), P=0.097] between the 2 groups.
Conclusions
Laparoscopic surgery can not only significantly reduce the incidence of multiple complications of traumatic rupture of spleen, but also can speed up the recovery rate of postoperative recovery. Therefore, it is safe and beneficial in treatment of patients with traumatic rupture of spleen.
