Decision analysis model of incisional hernia after open abdominal surgery

Background The incidence rate of incisional hernias after open surgery has been reported to be higher than that of port site hernias after laparoscopic surgery. No studies have compared the costs for the health care system in treating those two types of hernia. Methods A systematic review was conducted to obtain the baseline data, and a decision analysis model was created to simulate the occurrence and recurrence of incisional and port site hernias. Results The overall risk of having incisional hernias was eight-times higher than that of having port site hernias (7.4% vs 0.9%). A cost savings of ￡93 per patient can be generated for the health care system in the UK. Similar results were obtained for Germany, Italy and France. Conclusions The additional treatment costs for incisional hernia should be taken into account when the costs of a surgery performed by open approach are compared with by laparoscopy.     

Allergic fungal sinusitis— A clinico-pathological study

The co-existence of fungal elements in allergic nasal Polyposis, has given rise to a distinct clinical entity known as ‘Allergic fungal sinusitis ’ (AF’S). Many a time, these fungal elements may not be diagnosed pre-operatively by routine diagnostic nasal endoscopy or CT scan of paranasal sinuses, due to the florid presentation of nasal polyps, which usually obscure the underlying fungal pathology. The diagnosis is often made intra-operatively. The post-operative confirmation of AFS is by histopathology, fungal smear, fungal culture, allergic murin study and fungal specific IgE titres. We report a series often such cases done in our institution, which highlight that AFS should be considered as a differential diagnosis in Sinonasal Polyposis cases, for their effective management.     

低位直肠癌的保肛手术

目的 探讨如何选择合适的保肛手术方法治疗低位直肠癌。方法 44例肿块下缘距肛缘5～7cm的低位直肠癌患者,对21例采用改良的结肠肛管吻合术(A组)、23例应用吻合器技术的前切除术(B组)进行治疗;并对两组疗效予以对比。结果 A组患者无远端直肠残端肿瘤残留,B组有2例。肿瘤远端直肠切除距离A组平均为(2.81±0.35)cm,B组(1.73±0.42)cm。两组比较,差异有显著性意义(t=9.083,P<0.001)。A组术后两年均无吻合口复发,B组有4例,B组吻合口复发率明显高于A组(x~2=4.234,P=0.04)。A组术后早期排便功能较差,但均能在半年内改善;B组术后排便功能良好。结论 低位直肠癌患者肿瘤下缘距肛缘5～7cm、肿瘤“T”分期为Ⅱ、Ⅲ期、术前指诊肿瘤可推动、肿瘤侵犯肠壁范围不到1周可行保肛手术。应根据患者体型、骨盆宽窄、肿瘤分化程度及其侵犯肠管的周径合理选择改良的结肠肛管吻合术或吻合器技术的前切除术。     

糖尿病患者超声乳化白内障吸除手术的临床观察

目的:探讨糖尿病患者进行超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入手术的临床效果。方法:50例(61只眼)糖尿病患者(设为A组)和同期163例(174只眼)血糖正常患者(设为B组)接受超声乳化白内障吸除联合人工晶状体植入手术。糖尿病患者手术前通过饮食疗法、口服药物或肌注胰岛素治疗,使空腹血糖降到 10mmol/L以下。术后随访 1～28个月(平均 8.6个月),复查视力、裂隙灯及眼底检查。结果:术后矫正视力≥0.5者,A组为77.1%;B组为80.5%。两组经统计学处理差异无显著性(P>0.05)。两组术中出现后囊破裂及术后发生角膜水肿和前房渗出等并发症的差异无显著性(P>0.05 )。结论:糖尿病患者进行超声乳化白内障吸除手术前只要有效控制血糖,其手术效果与对照组患者相同。但术后血糖的控制仍然十分重要。眼科学报2003;19:98-100。     

The Application of Topical Anesthesia Combined with Subconjunctival Anesthesia for Glaucoma Surgery

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, reliability and analgesia effect of topical anesthesia combined with subconjunctival anesthesia in anti-glaucomatous surgery.Methods: Two hundred and four cases (357 eyes) underwent anti-glaucomatous surgeries under topical anesthesia with 0.5％ Alcaine eye drops combined with subconjunctival anesthesia with 2％ Lidocaine. The analgesic effect was analysed with visual analogue pain scale.Results: Among all of 357 eyes, 62 eyes underwent peripheral iridectomy, 67 eyes underwent simple trabeculectomy, 167 eyes underwent compound brabeculectomy and 12 eyes nonpenetrating trabecular surgery. The effects of anesthesia were as follows: 304 eyes (85.2％) were painless (Grade Ⅰ), 50 eyes (14.0％) were slight painful (Grade Ⅱ), and 3 eyes (0.8％) were more painful (Grade Ⅲ) during surgery. And no severe complications were observed in all the cases during surgery and postoperatively. Amaurosis fugax was not observed in the glaucoma patients at the late stage with narrow vi

目的：探讨腮腺深叶癌切除面神经后，即刻功能性修复的临床效果。方法：对1984年1月至2005年10月间收治的11例腮腺癌患者，术中采用将肿瘤连同腮腺及面神经切除，同时行颈丛神经移植重建面神经的治疗方法。结果：术后面神经功能均完全恢复，所有患者术后6个月复诊，见患者静态时面部对称，动态时口角轻度偏斜，术后一年两侧面部完全对称，睁、闭眼及提口角功能基本恢复正常。结论：腮腺癌根治术中采用颈丛神经移植能有效地恢复面神经的功能，既达到肿瘤切除的彻底性，又符合功能外科的发展要求，是一种比较理想的手术方法。     

Double congenital bronchoesophageal fistulae in an adult

We report adult congenital bronchoesophageal fistula with both symptomatic fistula and asymptomatic one. A 56-year-old woman with a history of cough after drinking fluids was diagnosed as bronchoesophageal fistula by upper gastrointestinal series that showed a diverticulum in the middle portion of the esophagus with a fistula between the esophagus and right lower lung. Esophagoscopy revealed an orifice of the fistula located 27 cm from the incisors. Computed tomography showed chronic inflammatory change with bronchiectasis in the S6 segment of the right lung. The patient underwent video assisted thoracic surgery that identified two fistulae without missing a symptomatic one, and both were successfully resected. The fistulae were lined by squamous epithelium and smooth muscle without evidence of malignancy, infection or chronic inflammation that were histologically compatible with congenital fistulae.
