Laparoscopic management of intra-abdominal infections: Systematic review of the literature

AIM: To investigate the role of laparoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of intra abdominal infections.METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed including studies where intra abdominal infections were treated laparoscopically.RESULTS: Early laparoscopic approaches have become the standard surgical technique for treating acute cholecystitis. The laparoscopic appendectomy has been demonstrated to be superior to open surgery in acute appendicitis. In the event of diverticulitis, laparoscopic resections have proven to be safe and effective procedures for experienced laparoscopic surgeons and may be performed without adversely affecting morbidity and mortality rates. However laparoscopic resection has not been accepted by the medical community as the primary treatment of choice. In high-risk patients, laparoscopic approach may be used for exploration or peritoneal lavage and drainage. The successful laparoscopic repair of perforated peptic ulcers for experienced surgeons, is demonstrated to be safe and effective. Regarding small bowel perforations, comparative studies contrasting open and laparoscopic surgeries have not yet been conducted. Successful laparoscopic resections addressing iatrogenic colonic perforation have been reported despite a lack of literature-based evidence supporting such procedures. In post-operative infections, laparoscopic approaches may be useful in preventing diagnostic delay and controlling the source.CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy has a good diagnostic accuracy and enables to better identify the causative pathology; laparoscopy may be recommended for the treatment of many intra-abdominal infections.     

Snake bite induced cellulitis leading to infected open dislocation of the first metacarpophalangeal joint – A rare complication

Non-traumatic open dislocation of the first metacarpophalangeal joint is a rare phenomenon. We present a rare such occurrence secondary to snake bite induced cellulitis. A 22-year-old girl presented with pain and instability of her right thumb two months. She had snake bite two months back following which she developed cellulitis which gradually became infected. She presented with raw area over her dorsal aspect of the thumb with active infection. Radiographs revealed metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation. She underwent debridement, stabilisation and soft tissue coverage. At final follow up, she was pain free and the wound healed completely.

目的:探讨膝关节前交叉韧带重建术后关节感染的治疗策略。方法:2005年3月至2014年2月关节镜下前交叉韧带重建术后关节感染6例,均为男性,年龄18～36岁。患者术后出现膝关节疼痛肿胀,血沉和C-反应蛋白升高,细菌培养均为表皮样葡萄球菌。采用关节镜清理和置管灌注冲洗。按照Lysholm膝关节评分系统和膝关节活动度对患者进行评价。结果:所有患者的感染均被控制,血沉和C反应蛋白恢复正常,Lysholm膝关节评分85～95分,膝关节活动度120°～135°。结论:前交叉韧带重建术后关节感染,早期采用关节镜清理和置管灌注冲洗获得满意疗效。     

急性坏死性胰腺炎合并感染的病原菌及耐药性分析

目的：研究急性坏死性胰腺炎（ANP）合并感染的病原菌分布及耐药性,并探讨其对ANP患者预后的影响。 方法：回顾性分析2010年10月—2014年10月收治的72例有明确病原学依据的ANP合并感染患者的临床资料。 结果： 72例ANP患者中,腹腔及腹膜后感染47例（65.28%）,呼吸道感染37例（51.39%）,血流感染32例（44.44%）,其中血流感染与患者死亡密切相关（P<0.05）。检出病原菌235株,其中革兰阴性细菌159株（67.66%）,革兰阳性细菌60株（25.53%）,真菌16株（6.81%）。获得的病原菌中排名前6位的依次是：鲍曼不动杆菌（24.68%）,铜绿假单胞菌（8.94%）,肺炎克雷伯菌（8.09%）,屎肠球菌/粪肠球菌（8.09%）,大肠埃希菌（7.66%）,金黄色葡萄球菌（4.68%）。耐药性分析显示,鲍曼不动杆菌和铜绿假单胞菌对亚胺培南耐药率分别达95.92%和52.63%,对头孢哌酮/舒巴坦的耐药率分别为59.26%和50.00%。肺炎克雷伯菌和大肠埃希菌产超广谱β-内酰胺酶（ESBLs）检出率分别为64.29%和80.00%,对头孢哌酮/舒巴坦的耐药率分别为31.58%和18.75%,而对亚胺培南的耐药率分别为23.08%和7.14%。19株屎肠球菌/粪肠球菌中仅1株对万古霉素耐药,对利奈唑烷尚未发现耐药菌株。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌检出率为72.73%,对万古霉素、利奈唑烷和呋喃妥因尚未发现耐药菌株。16株真菌对常用抗真菌药物均未发现耐药菌株。 结论：血流感染是ANP患者死亡的重要原因。ANP患者的病原菌仍以革兰阴性菌为主,但革兰阳性菌和真菌的比例不容忽视。多重耐药菌已成为ANP合并感染的巨大的挑战。     

维持性血液透析患者死亡原因的临床分析

目的:探讨维持性血液透析患者主要死亡原因及影响因素。方法:回顾性分析2008年1月~2013年12月上海市第六人民医院及上海市第六人民医院南院行维持性血液透析患者资料,剔除透析龄<3月患者,共计380例,死亡患者96例,分析患者的死亡原因及影响因素。结果:96例死亡病例中男62例,女34例,主要死亡原因为:心脑血管疾病48例(50%),感染性疾病18例(18.75%),肿瘤16例(16.67%)。<60岁28例,≥60岁68例,其中糖尿病患者居多。高血磷组(>1.45 mmol/L)患者心血管疾病死亡率明显高于正常血磷组(≤1.45 mmol/L),差异有统计学意义,提示血磷水平越高,心血管死亡风险越大。Logistic回归分析提示白蛋白、尿素氮、肌酐是MHD患者死亡的危险因素。与非心脑血管疾病死亡患者相比,死于心脑血管疾病的患者其透析龄较短,血清肌酐、血红蛋白、白蛋白、三酰甘油、胆固醇均较高。结论:心脑血管疾病是维持性血液透析患者最主要的死亡原因,其次为感染和肿瘤;糖尿病是影响预后的重要原因,控制血磷水平,有助于减少死亡风险。     

Risk for Clostridium difficile infection after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: Analysis of a contemporary series

IntroductionThis study seeks to evaluate the incidence and associated risk factors of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed a single institution׳s bladder cancer database including all patients who underwent RC between 2010 and 2013. CDI was diagnosed by detection of Clostridium difficile toxin B gene using polymerase chain reaction–based stool assay in patients with clinically significant diarrhea within 90 days of the index operation. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify demographics and perioperative factors associated with developing CDI.ResultsOf the 552 patients who underwent RC, postoperative CDI occurred in 49 patients (8.8%) with a median time to diagnosis after RC of 7 days (interquartile range: 5–19). Of the 122 readmissions for postoperative complications, 10% (n = 12) were related to CDI; 2 patients died of sepsis directly related to severe CDI. On multivariate logistic regression, the use of chronic antacid therapy (odds ratio = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.02–3.68, P = 0.04) and antibiotic exposure greater than 7 days (odds ratio = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.11–4.44, P = 0.02) were independently associated with developing CDI. The use of preoperative antibiotics for positive findings on urine culture within 30 days before surgery was not statistically significantly associated with development of CDI (P = 0.06).ConclusionsThe development of CDI occurs in 8.8% of patients undergoing RC. Our study demonstrates that use of chronic antacid therapy and long duration of antimicrobial exposure are associated with development of CDI. Efforts focusing on minimizing antibiotic exposure in patients undergoing RC are needed, and perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis guidelines should be followed.
