Pain and faulty breathing: a pilot study

The purpose of this pilot study was to observe both relaxed and deep breathing patterns in a convenience sample to determine the incidence of normal versus faulty patterns of respiration. These observations were then combined with respondent answers to a survey on pain history to determine if there is any correlation between faulty breathing and musculo-skeletal pain patterns. If such a correlation can be made, then we propose that clinicians working with chronic pain patients may have improved outcomes if they address and correct faulty breathing patterns. Based on this study, it is suggested to include the evaluation and treatment of faulty respiration in the rehabilitation of chronic musculo-skeletal conditions, most notably cervical pain.     

肺癌骨转移所致腰腿麻痛的误诊原因(附1例报告并文献复习)

目的分析肺癌骨转移引起腰腿痛症状导致误诊的原因及教训。方法对1例误诊为腰椎间盘突出症、腰臀部慢性软组织损害的肺癌骨转移致腰腿痛患者的诊疗过程结合文献进行综合分析。结果肺癌骨转移所致腰腿麻痛症状是因受累椎体发生溶骨性破坏或楔形变,对应椎管位置狭窄,肿瘤侵犯骨皮质或软组织肿块压迫刺激脊髓和神经根而引起,本病误诊的主要原因是病史询问不详,查体简单、粗疏,未做针对性强的影像学检查。结论仔细询问病史,认真查体,与早期行针对性强的影像学检查相结合,可有效降低误诊率。     

改良式腹腔镜腹膜外补片植入法疝修补术

目的探讨改进式腹腔镜腹膜外补片植入法腹股沟疝修补术的可行性及临床意义.方法回顾性分析我院2002年6月～2004年10月13例腹股沟疝进行的腹腔镜下经腹腔腹膜外补片植入法联合腹膜缝合覆盖修补术的临床资料.其中腹股沟斜疝9例,直疝4例;其中复发疝1例;右侧8例,左侧4例,双侧1例.结果手术均获成功,单侧手术时间35～85 min,平均50 min,无一例中转开腹,无术后并发症,术后平均住院时间2 d,13例随访1～28个月,平均12个月,无一例复发.结论腹腔镜下经腹腔途径腹膜外补片植入法联合腹膜缝合覆盖术是一种安全、可靠、疗效显著的腹股沟疝修补方法,具有手术操作简单、创伤小、术后疼痛轻、恢复快等优点,可以代替开放手术,值得推广应用.     

微型腹腔镜治疗小儿腹股沟斜疝62例体会

目的:探讨微型腹腔镜治疗小儿腹股沟斜疝的可行性。方法:应用微型腹腔镜,采用自行设计的带线针和En-doc lose与操作钳配合,运用提插式缝合方法,高位荷包缝扎内环口周边腹膜,治疗小儿腹股沟斜疝62例。结果:62例手术均成功,手术时间10~15m in,住院2~3d。术后随诊1~28月无复发。结论:微型腹腔镜下高位荷包缝扎内环口治疗小儿腹股沟斜疝具有损伤小、恢复快、住院时间短、对侧再发率低的优点。     

无张力疝修补术治疗复发性腹股沟疝(附16例临床分析)

目的探讨无张力疝修补术在复发性腹股沟疝中的临床应用价值。方法自2002年1月至2005年1月,我院应用无张力疝修补术治疗复发性腹股沟疝16例进行回顾性分析。结果平均手术时间55min,术后1例出现阴囊积液,2例切口脂肪液化,无切口感染病例,平均住院5天,随访12～36个月均无复发。结论无张力疝修补术是治疗复发性腹股沟疝的较理想术式,具有安全、创伤小、术后恢复快、疗效满意,尤其是复发率低等优点。     

腹壁会阴切口子宫内膜异位症30例临床分析

目的探讨腹壁子宫内膜异位症(内异症)的发病机制、诊断和治疗。方法回顾性分析我院1987年-2003年收治的30例腹壁会阴切口内异症的临床特点、治疗方法。结果30例患者中,腹壁内异症患者22例,均有剖宫产手术史,会阴EP切口内异症8例。均有典型周期性腹痛,肿块,手术切除均取得良好效果,未有复发。结论子宫内膜异位种植是本症的主要发病机制。根据典型的症状、体征,结合B超可正确诊断。彻底手术是唯一确实有效的治疗方法。     

Repair of large midline incisional hernias with polypropylene mesh: Comparison of three operative techniques

Polypropylene mesh is widely used for the reconstruction of incisional hernias that cannot be closed primarily. Several techniques have been advocated to implant the mesh. The objective of this study was to evaluate, retrospectively, early and late results of three different techniques, onlay, inlay, and underlay. The records of 53 consecutive patients with a large midline incisional hernia — 25 women and 28 men, mean age 60.4 (range 28–94) — were reviewed. Polypropylene mesh was implanted using the onlay technique in 13 patients, inlay in 23 patients, and underlay in 17 patients. Either the greater omentum or a polyglactin mesh was interponated between the mesh and the viscera. The records of these 53 patients were reviewed with respect to: size and cause of the hernia, pre- and postoperative mortality and morbidity, with special attention to wound complications. Patients were invited to attend the outpatient clinic at least 12 months after implantation of the mesh for physical examination of the abdominal wall. Postoperative complications occurred in 14 (26.4%) patients. The onlay technique had significantly more complications, as compared to both other techniques. Reherniation occurred in 15 (28.3%) patients. The reherniation rate of the inlay technique was significantly higher than after the underlay technique (44% vs 12%, P=0.03) and tended to be higher than the onlay technique (44% vs 23%, P=0.22). Repair of large midline incisional hernias with the use of a polypropylene mesh carries a high risk of complications and has a high reherniation rate. The underlay technique seems to be the better technique.
