Fracture of the thoracic spine with paralysis and esophageal perforation

A 17-year-old young man presented with a highly unstable fracture dislocation of the third and fourth thoracic vertebrae with neurological deficit, in which the fractured spine had perforated the thoracic esophagus. Open reduction and internal fixation of the spinal fractures in combination with aggressive treatment of the mediastinitis caused by esophageal perforation, consisting of two re-thoracotomies, was performed. Two years after the accident, the patient had recovered well. The neurological deficit had recovered, and there were no difficulties with swallowing.     

自发性食管穿孔的治疗改进

报道７例自发性食管穿孔治疗经验，并对诊断和治疗和治疗新方法进行了讨论，自发性食管穿孔早期诊断的重要依据是迅速获得完整，详细的发病史。可疑时通过食道造影，胸腔穿刺刺液的分析而确诊。一经确诊应急取早期食管修补，对发病时间长，全身情况差的病人，经积极准备后仍应急取食管修补，对不宜手术者给予食管冲洗促进穿孔愈合。同时给予有效的食管腔内外引流。     

Diagnosis of gallbladder perforation in acute acalculous cholecystitis in critically ill patients

In the presence of ascites ultrasound is not appropriate to distinguish between gallbladder perforation and acute acalculous cholecystitis. However, the correct and early diagnosis of gallbladder perforation is important for the treatment and prognosis. We report 4 critically ill patients with ascites. All patients had evidence of gallbladder perforation by ultrasound and underwent cholecystectomy: 2 patients had gallbladder perforation, but 2 had acalculous cholecystitis without perforation. markedly elevated serum alkaline phosphatase was the only discriminating finding indicating gallbladder perforation.     

高龄患者胃十二指肠穿孔围手术期处理

目的:探讨高龄患者胃十二指肠穿孔围手术期处理的具体措施。方法:对22例75岁以上高龄患者胃十二指肠穿孔手术资料进行回顾性分析。结果:全组治愈20例,死亡2例。结论:只要准确估计病情,充分细致做好术前准备,选择合适的术式及最佳麻醉,术中、术后严密监测,提高操作技术,尽量缩短手术时间,加强术后护理及各种有效的治疗,高龄患者是可以安全度过围手术期的。     

Pleural effusion following coronary perforation during balloon angioplasty: an unusual presentation of the postpericardiotomy syndrome.

We report on the development of features of the postpericardiotomy syndrome following coronary perforation during balloon angioplasty, in a patient that was managed conservatively. The case illustrates that while cardiac tamponade does not invariably follow coronary perforation, late consequences derived from this complication may occur. It also widens the spectrum of conditions where the postpericardiotomy syndrome has been observed.     

EMPHYSEMATOUS CHOLECYSTITIS CAN CAUSE PNEUMOPERITONEUM

A case of emphysematous cholecystitis with gall-bladder perforation, resulting in free intraperitoneal gas, is presented. It adds to only nine previous reports. A successful outcome was achieved by early surgery, combined with appropriate antibiotic therapy.     

胆道穿孔的诊治体会

目的探讨胆道穿孔的病因、诊断及处理措施。方法对1985-2003年收治的41例胆道穿孔病例进行回顾性分析。结果41例均行手术治疗，2例死亡，其余均治愈。结论胆道在感染和梗阻情况下容易发生胆道穿孔，胆囊疾病合并胆管疾病并发感染时易发生胆囊穿孔，治疗胆道穿孔应根据病变和其并发症采用不同的手术治疗措施。     

扩大壁细胞迷走神经切断术治疗十二指肠溃疡急性穿孔176例

目的探讨扩大壁细胞迷走神经切断术（EPCV）治疗十二指肠溃疡并发急性穿孔的远期临床疗效。方法对1979年以来采用EPCV治疗的176例十二指肠溃疡并发急性穿孔患者的临床资料进行总结,分析评价疗效,评价内容包括术后并发症发生率、溃疡复发率、胃排空功能、胃镜和上消化道钡餐检查结果和营养状态及Visick分级。结果全组患者有153例（86.9%）获得5年随访。无手术死亡者。进食后上腹发生间断性胀痛13例（8.5%）,有时返酸12例（7.8%）,经服用吗叮啉可缓解。出现粘连性肠梗阻行粘连松解术4例（2.6%）,溃疡复发4例（2.6%）,均发生在术后2-3年内。浅表性胃炎21例（13.7%）,十二指肠球部变形31例（20.3%）,胃窦蠕动功能较好,胃排空功能正常。全组无贫血发生,体重增加者116例（75.8%）。Visick改良分级,146例为Ⅰ级和Ⅱ级,优良率占95.4%,Ⅲ级3例（2.0%）,Ⅳ级4例（2.6%）。结论EPCV术具有手术操作简便、术后并发症较少、溃疡复发率低、患者术后远期营养状况良好、生活质量较高的优良疗效,是治疗十二指肠溃疡并发急性穿孔首选的安全有效术式之一。     

食管穿孔和破裂的诊断与治疗

目的 提高对食管穿孔和破裂的诊断及处理水平。方法 回顾性分析经外科处理的45例食管穿孔或破裂患的临床资料。结果 本组患经胸部平片、胸腔穿刺、上消化道造影及胃镜确诊。15例为自发性食管破裂，6例为医源性穿孔，5例为创伤性穿孔，10例为食管癌并食管支气管瘘，9例为食管憩室并食管支气管瘘。治疗予以食管修补9例；胸腔引流、空肠造瘘9例(其中1例为食管修补失败后改行此手术)；食管切除胃食管吻合术12例(其中3例为食管修补失败)；胃造瘘术4例；置入食管支架4例；食管支气管瘘切除修补3例；食管瘘口修补并肺叶切除2例；食管胃弓上短路1例，颈部引流2例；放弃治疗3例。治愈25例，好转11例，死亡6例。结论 详细了解病史和进行胸腔穿刺、上消化道造影等检查可帮助诊断。尽早手术闭合瘘口和治疗食管原发病变是治疗的关键。     

Post-operative esophageal leak treated with removable silicone-covered polyester stent

Self-expanding removable covered stents are increasingly being used for the treatment of benign esophageal diseases such as leaks or perforations and stenosis. They are easy to place and remove and good outcomes have been reported. We report a case of a postoperative esophageal leak successfully managed with a removable silicone-covered polyester stent.
