Outpatient Hysterectomy versus Inpatient Hysterectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

ObjectiveThe aim was to investigate whether outpatient hysterectomy (OH) has benefits when compared with inpatient hysterectomy (IH) regarding postoperative complications, readmissions, operative outcomes, cost, and patient quality of life.Data SourcesA systematic search for studies comparing OH with IH was conducted through PubMed, SAGE, and Scopus from January 2010 to March 2020, without limitations regarding language and study design.Methods of Study SelectionStudies reporting on the differences between same-day discharge and overnight stay after hysterectomy were included. The study outcomes were overall complication rate, type of complication, readmission after discharge, surgery duration, estimated blood loss, payer savings, hospital savings, and health-related quality of life (HrQoL). Median and range are used to describe non-normal data, while mean ± SD and confidence interval are used to descibe data with normal distribution. A meta-analysis with sensitivity analysis and subgroup analyses was performed.Tabulation, Integration, and ResultsEight studies published between 2011 and 2019 with 104,466 patients who underwent hysterectomy were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. All included studies except 1 were found to have a high risk of bias. OH in comparison with IH had a lower overall complication rate (odds ratio [OR] 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60–0.82) and lower rates of wound infection (OR 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43–0.84), urinary tract infection (OR 0.64; 95% CI, 0.52–0.78), need for transfusion (OR 0.36; 95% CI, 0.22–0.59), sepsis (OR 0.33; 95% CI, 0.17–0.64), uncontrolled pain (OR 0.79; 95% CI, 0.66–0.95), and bleeding requiring medical attention (OR 0.82; 95% CI, 0.73–0.94). In addition, patients who underwent OH had a lower readmission rate (OR 0.81; 95% CI, 0.75–0.87), surgery duration (standardized mean difference –0.35; 95% CI, –0.61 to –0.08), and estimated blood loss (standardized mean difference –0.63; 95% CI, –0.93 to –0.33) than those who underwent IH. A qualitative analysis found that OH had a poorer patient HrQoL and a lower cost for the hospital as well as the payer.ConclusionOHs present fewer complications and have a lower readmission rate and estimated blood loss as well as a shorter surgery duration than IHs. OHs also have a cost benefit in comparison with IHs. But patients seem to have a worse HrQoL in the first postoperative week after OH. The high risk of bias of the included studies indicates that well-designed clinical trials and standardization of surgical complication reporting are essential to better address this issue.     

儿童室管膜瘤的临床研究进展

A systematic review of the safety and efficacy of non-operative management in patients with high grade liver injury

IntroductionThe liver is the most frequently damaged organ in blunt abdominal trauma. It is widely accepted that hemodynamically stable patients with low-grade liver trauma should be treated with non-operative management, however there is controversy surrounding its safety and efficacy in high-grade trauma. The purpose of this review is to investigate the role of non-operative management in patients with high-grade liver trauma.MethodsPubMed and reference lists of PubMed articles were searched to find studies that examined the efficacy of non-operative management in high-grade liver injury patients, and compare it to operative management. Non-operative management was considered successful if rescue surgery was avoided. Outcomes considered were success, mortality, and complication rates.ResultsThe electronic search revealed 2662 records, 8 of which met the inclusion criteria. All 8 studies contained results suggesting that non-operative management was safe and effective in hemodynamically stable patients with high-grade liver trauma. By combining the outcomes of the different studies, non-operative management had a high success rate of 92.4% (194/210) in high-grade liver trauma patients, which was near the overall 95.0% non-operative management success rate. Non-operative management also had mortality and complication rates of 4.6% (9/194) and 9.7% (7/72) in high-grade injury patients, respectively, compared to operative management's 17.6% (26/148) and 45.5% (5/11).ConclusionNon-operative management of liver trauma is safe and effective in hemodynamically stable patients with high-grade liver injury. It is associated with significantly lower mortality compared with operative management. More studies are required to evaluate complications of non-operative management in high-grade liver injury.     

冠心病合并其他器质性心脏病的外科治疗

目的分析冠心病合并其他器质性心脏病的临床特点,探讨一期外科治疗的方法和临床疗效。方法分析2004年4月至2006年4月冠心病合并其他器质性心脏病患者13例,其中风湿性心脏病联合瓣膜病1例,二尖瓣病变4例,二尖瓣退行性病变3例,主动脉瓣关闭不全3例,升主动脉瘤1例,继发孔房缺1例。因冠心病首诊入院5例,以其他器质性心脏病首诊入院8例。术前有心绞痛症状者8例,无心绞痛5例。体外循环下一期外科治疗。结果无死亡病例,13例均顺利出院。冠脉搭桥+瓣膜置换8例,冠脉搭桥+瓣膜成形3例,冠脉搭桥+Bentall+室壁瘤切除1例,冠脉搭桥+房缺修补1例。手术中搭桥1～3支,平均(1.92±0.73)支。术后1周,左心室舒张末内径(LVDD)为(51.77±2.64)mm,较术前[(58.92±3.81)mm]明显缩小(P<0.05)。随访3个月,心绞痛症状完全消失,心功能(NYHA)明显提高(P<0.05)。结论冠心病合并其他器质性心脏病临床症状无特异性,容易漏诊。虽然手术风险性和难度增加,但未得到血液重建,对患者更将是致命性的灾难,应争取一期手术。     

外科治疗56例心脏非黏液性肿瘤的临床分析

目的探讨心脏非黏液性肿瘤临床特点,总结外科治疗经验。方法对我院1996年10月至2005年3月进行外科治疗的56例心脏非黏液性肿瘤的临床资料进行回顾性分析,总结其临床表现、发生部位、肿瘤性质和外科治疗特点等。结果心脏非粘液性肿瘤占本院同期手术患者的0.14%,良性肿瘤28例,恶性肿瘤28例,其中继发性心脏肿瘤8例。良性肿瘤最常见的是生长在心室,共18例;恶性肿瘤最常见的生长部位是心房,共15例。外科治疗行急诊手术者12例。心包开窗引流术2例,探查术1例,术中肿瘤全部切除者26例,部分切除27例,术后住院期间死亡1例。结论心脏非黏液性肿瘤临床表现各异、病理类型多样、病变广泛,手术原则为尽可能切除肿瘤和保持心脏结构的完整性和功能。     

自体血预充技术对血液保护作用的研究

目的研究采用自体血预充技术对体外循环下心脏手术的血液保护作用。方法40例非急诊手术的首次接受体外循环下心脏冠脉搭桥的患者,依性别(男女比例)、年龄、体重、身高、体表面积(BSA)和射血分数(EF)进行配对后分为两组:自体血预充组(n=20)和经典预充组(n=20)。自体血预充组:用1250ml晶体液和8000IU肝素预充,体外循环开始前先采用自体血预充技术置换出大部分最初预充液,维持平均动脉压(MAP)在50mmHg以上。经典预充组:1250ml晶体液和8000IU肝素预充。心肌保护均采用Calafiore温血停跳液灌注。体外循环中保持温度35.0℃～35.5℃,流量2.5～2.8L·min-·1m-2。所有患者按标准手术步骤进行手术。手术结束前将体外循环系统中余血全部回输给患者。结果自体血预充组平均置换出(894±171)ml的最初预充液,患者体外循环中,手术结束时,术后6h、1d、2d的HCT水平均明显高于经典预充组(P<0.05)。自体血预充组围术期人均输血量明显低于经典预充组[(0.16±1.09)U/人和(0.97±2.18)U/人,P<0.05]。自体血预充组患者术后胸腔引流量较经典预充组明显减少(303±89ml和495±112ml,P<0.05)。结论自体血预充技术的应用能减少血液稀释,减少围术期输血量,保护血液。     

1381例先天性室间隔缺损的外科治疗

目的总结先天性室间隔缺损(VSD)手术治疗的临床经验。方法1992年12月至2005年10月手术治疗VSD1381例,男性835例,女性546例,年龄2天至55岁,平均(4.6±3.2)岁。体重2.5～80(14.5±10.7)kg,<10kg者487例(35.3%)。均在低温体外循环下手术,必要时应用深低温低流量及改良超滤技术。直视缝合823例,补片修补558例。结果术后30d内死亡24例(其中11例年龄<6个月),死亡率1.74%;晚期死亡1例。主要并发症发生率9.7%。结论手术治疗室间隔缺损效果满意。但<6个月龄的低体重婴儿应严格控制手术适应证。干下型VSD应早期手术,防止主动脉瓣关闭不全的发生。术后应重视对呼吸系统、循环系统的监护与治疗,重视对肺动脉高压围术期处理     

重型颅脑损伤的手术治疗

目的探讨重型颅脑损伤梯度减压的手术方法对预防术中脑膨出、降低死亡率及致残率的效果。方法对100例重型颅脑损伤患者采用分次减压手术方式及去骨瓣后，硬膜与颞肌筋膜瓣减张缝闭硬膜切口方法。结果40例脑肿胀患者术中脑嘭出6例占15．0％，死亡19例占47．5％；60例脑内血肿病人未发生脑膨出，死亡12例占20％。结论脑外伤后脑血管调节麻痹及血肿压迫继发脑水肿易造成脑膨出.术中分次减压降低了骨窗部位脑组织的顺应性，从而降低了局部的压力梯度，避免脑血管急性扩张，能有效防止脑膨出，降低死亡率及致残率。     

腹腔镜和开腹结直肠手术的炎性反应比较

目的对比分析腹腔镜和开腹结直肠手术患者全身和腹腔炎性反应的差异,为腹腔镜手术对结直肠肿瘤中的应用提供理论依据。方法对51例2004年4-8月间收治的乙状结肠和直肠恶性肿瘤患者,采用腹腔镜辅助手术25例(LAP组),开腹手术26例(OPEN组)。术毕骶前留置引流管。观察并比较两组患者的一般情况和炎性反应及与手术相关的各项指标。结果两组患者在年龄、性别、ASA分级、术前血红蛋白及白蛋白水平、肿瘤Dukes分期和手术方式差异均无统计学意义(P＞0．05)。在切口长度、手术时间、肠道功能恢复时间、住院时间的比较中,LAP组占有明显优势(P＜0．05)。腹腔引流量在术后第1天,两组间差异无统计学意义(P＞0．05)；而术后2-4 d,LAP组明显低于OPEN组(P＜0．05)。LAP组术后第1天,周围血中性粒细胞[(7．30±2．62)×10~9/L]、白介素(IL)-10[(19．46±3．31)pg/ml]和C反应蛋白(CRP)[(2．76±2．17)mg/dl]水平均显著低于OPEN组(P＜0．05)。术后第4天两组间差异无统计学意义(P＞0．05)。术后第1天,两组腹腔引流液的IL-10、肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)及CRP水平差异无统计学意义(P＞0．05),术后第4天LAP组IL-10 [(22．53±15．47)pg/ml]明显低于OPEN组(P＜0．05)。结论术后早期,腹腔镜结直肠手术的腹腔炎性反应与开腹手术相当,而全身炎性反应较开腹手术轻。腹腔镜结直肠手术临床上体现出恢复快、并发症少、住院天数少的优势。
