Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

However, the surgeon should still be suspicious of this condition since the non specific symptoms and the rarity of it make a preoperative diagnosis uncertain. Considering the secondary nature of adult intussusception and the necessity of early surgical intervention to avoid morbidity and mortality, we report two cases of intussusception due to MD in adults. A diverticulectomy using a TA stapler was performed in the first patient. In the second patient extensive fibrosis of the adjacent mesentery and thickening of jejunal mucosa were observed, so a segmental resection of the small bowel or affected ileal part and a hand-sewn anastomosis was performed. The postoperative period along with the long term follow-up was uneventful for both patients. The decision between diverticulectomy vs bowel resection can be based on the intussuscepted bowel condition. Early surgical intervention may ensure a favorable outcome.展开更多

Colonoscopy and a barium enema study revealed a submucosal tumor over the cecum, but computed tomography showed an ileal lipoma. There was no definitive diagnosis preoperatively, but ileocolic intussusception was noted during surgery. Single port laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy was performed because intra-operative reduction failed. The histological diagnosis of the resected tumor was lipoma. Single port laparoscopic surgery has recently been proven to be safe and feasible. There are advantages compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, such as smaller incision wounds, fewer port site complications, and easier conversion. However, there are some drawbacks which need to be overcome, such as difficulties in triangulation and instrument clashing. If there are no contraindications to laparoscopy, single port laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely and should be considered for diagnosis and treatment of intussusception in adults. Here, we report the first case of ileocolic intussusception successfully treated by single port laparoscopic surgery.展开更多

METHODS: A retrospective review of patients aged 〉 18 years with a diagnosis of intestinal intussusception between 2000 and 2008. Patients with rectal prolapse, prolapse of or around an ostomy and gastroenterostomy intussusception were excluded. RESULTS: There were 20 rases of adult intussusception. Mean age was 47.7 years. Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting were the most common symptoms. The majority of intussusceptions were in the small intestine (85%). There were three (15%) cases of colonic intussusception. Enteric intussusception consisted of five jejunojejunal cases, nine ileoileal, and four cases of ileocecal invagination. Among enteric intussusceptions, 14 were secondary to a benign process, and in one of these, the malignant cause was secondary to metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. All colonic lesions were malignant. All cases were treated surgically. CONCLUSION: Adult intussusception is an unusual and challenging condition and is a preoperative diagnostic problem. Treatment usually requires resection of the involved bowel segment. Reduction can be attempted in small-bowel intussusception if the segment involved is viable or malignancy is not suspected; however, a more careful approach is recommended in colonic intussusception because of a significantly higher coexistence of malignancy.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Cronkhite-Canada syndrome(CCS)is a rare nonhereditary disease with a syndrome of multiple gastrointestinal polyps,skin pigmentation,hair loss,and fingernail/toenail dystrophy.Intussusception is a serious condition with an occurrence rate of 5%in adults,which is mainly caused by intestinal tumors or other intestinal occupations.CASE SUMMARY A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to abdominal distension and pain for the past year.Her nausea and vomiting symptoms had been aggravated for the past month.Previous transoral enteroscopy results one year prior showed chronic erosive gastritis protuberans,duodenitis,and jejunitis.She had sparse body hair and brown pigmentation on the skin of her hands and bilateral anterior tibias.The nails of both hands were pale and lacked luster,and the fingernail of her ring finger was longitudinally cracked.Gastroscopy showed extensive diffuse polypoid lump changes in the gastric body and antrum,of 0.5-3 cm in size.Colonoscopy showed multiple polypoid mucosal bulges in the terminal ileum and multiple polyps(0.3-5 cm)throughout the colon.The patient was diagnosed with CCS and underwent partial excision of the polyps,but she refused hormone therapy.One month later,the patient complained of nausea and vomiting,accompanied by abdominal pain and inability to pass gas or stool.Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed gastrointestinal polyposis and ileocecal intussusception.She underwent stomach and bowel surgery.CONCLUSION CCS,as a rare disease with poor prognosis,should be treated aggressively.Systematic steroids,immunosuppressive agents,and biological agents were not applied;thus,the patient’s symptoms quickly progressed,and intussusception occurred.She had to undergo surgery.Improved compliance may lead to a better prognosis.
文摘We report a case of adult intussusception caused by cecal adenocarcinoma that was treated by laparoscopyassisted ileocecal resection following reduction by contrast enema and preoperative colonoscopy.A 68-yearold male with cecal cancer was admitted to our hospital because of colicky abdominal pain after taking a laxative.His abdomen was distended,and a mass was palpable in the right upper quadrant,which appeared as a target-or sausage-shaped lesion by ultrasonograhpy and computed tomography.A contrast enema using water-soluble material showed a cup-shaped filling defect characterized by intussusception in the ascending colon.This round defect with a clear margin was pushed gradually back into the cecum by the enema pressure.Re-occurrence of the intussusception is easilyreleased by colonoscopy.We performed laparoscopyassisted ileocecal resection of a protruding tumor measuring 6.5 cm × 5.0 cm × 3.5 cm from the cecum,with D3 lymph node dissection.Histological examination revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma that had invaded the serosa without permeating the lymphatic or venous capillaries,as well as lymph node metastasis.The postoperative course was uneventful,and the patient has been well without evidence of disease recurrence for 5 years following the operation.Preliminary reduction of adult colonic intussusception before surgical resection is therefore an option in cases of an early and correct diagnosis of intussusception.
文摘BACKGROUND Intussusception is the invagination of a segment of the bowel into an adjacent segment.It is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in children,but in adults,it is rare,accounting for 1%of all intestinal obstructions and 5%of all intussusceptions,with malignancy being the most common cause.In the past,it was typically diagnosed intraoperatively.However,with the availability of computed tomography for abdominal imaging,recognizing the condition's signs has become crucial.Surgical intervention is essential for managing neoplastic cases and their complications.CASE SUMMARY A 45-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain encompassing her entire abdomen,abdominal distension,vomiting,and persistent constipation.Over the past two months,she has also experienced considerable weight loss.After an initial history review,examination,and imaging investigations,the patient was diagnosed with ileo cecal intussusception resulting from a colo rectal mass located in the cecum and ascending colon.This condition was surgically managed through an extended right hemi colectomy.CONCLUSION Intussusception is uncommon in adults,but it should be considered in patients with intestinal obstruction.Surgical intervention is essential.
文摘BACKGROUND Complete appendiceal intussusception(CAI)coexisting with appendiceal tumor represents an exceptionally rare clinical tumor.This study presented a retrospective analysis of a case involving CAI complicated by appendiceal mucinous tumor,supplemented by a review of 10 previously reported cases to distill diagnostic and therapeutic insights.CASE SUMMARY A 74-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain.Abdominal contrastenhanced computed tomography(CECT)initially suggested a colonic tumor with intussusception.Colonoscopy identified a mass in the colon 60 cm from the anus.Intraoperative exploration confirmed CAI secondary to an appendiceal neoplasm.The patient underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with regional lymphadenectomy under general anesthesia.Postoperative recovery was uneventful,and the patient was discharged 9 days post-surgery.Twelve-month follow-up revealed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.CONCLUSION Plain abdominal computed tomography may underestimate the presence of CAI and appendiceal mucinous tumor,whereas CECT significantly improves diagnostic accuracy.Preoperative suspicion of appendiceal malignancy should be entertained in cases of CAI.In the absence of definitive biopsy results,intraoperative frozen section analysis is recommended to guide radical resection.
文摘Objective:To explore the relationship between anesthetic depth and surgical stress response in minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery.Methods:A total of 89 patients who underwent thoracoscopic minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery in our hospital from June 2024 to December 2024 were selected as the research objects.They were divided into the light anesthesia group(n=45)and the deep anesthesia group(n=44).The vital signs at different intraoperative nodes and perioperative stress status of the two groups were compared.Results:Before lesion resection and after surgery,the mean arterial pressure and heart rate of the deep anesthesia group were lower than those of the light anesthesia group,with statistically significant differences.Conclusion:In thoracoscopic minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery,deep anesthesia can effectively control the patient’s surgical stress response,but the postoperative awakening time is longer;patients under light anesthesia have a shorter awakening time,but the intraoperative stress response is obvious.

文摘Background Computed tomography(CT) and cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) image registration play pivotal roles in computer-assisted navigation for orthopedic surgery. Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

文摘AIM:To assess the visual acuity and visual quality of cataract patients who received femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(FLACS)and multifocal intraocular lens(MIOL)implantation with an improved polishing technique during a 1-year follow-up period.METHODS:This study included 74 eyes from 37 patients,comprising 17 males and 20 females,with a mean age of 51.74±7.80 years.Using a coin toss method,one eye per patient was randomly selected for improved anterior capsular polishing,while the other eye received standard irrigation/aspiration(I/A)polishing.The polishing group consisted of 37 eyes,including 21 right and 16 left eyes,while the control group comprised the contralateral fellow eyes of the same individuals in the polishing group.Visual acuity and quality of the patients were evaluated before surgery and at 1 wk,1,6,and 12 mo after surgery.The OPD-Scan III was utilized to assess high-order aberrations,while the optical quality analysis system(OQAS)was employed to evaluate modulation transfer function(MTF cutoff),Strehl ratio(SR),and objective scatter index(OSI)for the purpose of visual quality assessment.Paired t-tests and repeated measures analysis of variance(ANOVA)were utilized to compare the results,and the SNK-q post hoc test was applied to identify significant differences.RESULTS:The polishing group’s uncorrected distant visual acuity(UDVA)and uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA)significantly improved 1-week post-surgery(all P<0.05).At 12-months,UDVA,UNVA,and corrected distant visual acuity(CDVA)were better than the control group(P<0.05).The MTF cutoff,SR,OSI,and high-order aberrations in the polishing group also showed significant improvements compared to the control group at 12 mo(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The improved capsular polishing method has been demonstrated to effectively maintain visual acuity and visual quality in patients with MIOL after FLACS within 1 a.
文摘The concept of Damage Control Surgery(DCS)emphasizes prioritizing hemorrhage control,preventing hypothermia,correcting coagulopathy,and acidosis in trauma treatment.The application of the DCS concept in trauma treatment at grassroots hospitals faces numerous challenges such as limited resources,high technical difficulty,and insufficient multidisciplinary collaboration.Therefore,DCS strategies need to be adapted to simplified processes to create conditions for subsequent treatment.This paper retrieves relevant literature to discuss the proposal,promotion,and application of the DCS concept,aiming to provide evidence-based basis for optimizing trauma treatment outcomes at grassroots hospitals.
文摘Background:Pressure injury(PI)is a prevalent complication in pediatric cardiac surgery,with higher incidence than in general pediatric populations due to children’s thin skin,underdeveloped subcutaneous tissue,and prolonged intraoperative pressure.Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the curvilinear supine position(CSP)in preventing PI among children undergoing congenital heart disease(CHD)surgery.Methods:Between October 2024 and February 2025,a single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted.Of the 80 children initially enrolled for congenital heart disease(CHD)surgery,77(aged 1 month to 14 years)completed the study and were included in the final analysis after 3 were excluded due to protocol violations.Participants were randomly assigned to the CSP group(n=38)or the conventional supine position group(n=39).Results:The incidence of PI was significantly lower in the CSP group(2.6%)compared to the control group(20.5%)(p=0.029).Postoperative LDH levels were also significantly reduced in the CSP group(422.67±86.52 U/L vs.592.92±215.71 U/L;p=0.031),while preoperative LDH and surgical variables(e.g.,cardiopulmonary bypass time)were comparable between groups.Although the CSP group had a shorter hospital stay(17.24 vs.22.51 days),the difference was not statistically significant(p=0.085).Caregiver satisfaction was significantly higher in the CSP group(100.0%vs.84.6%;p=0.025).Conclusion:CSP effectively reduces PI incidence,mitigates tissue injury,and enhances caregiver satisfaction in pediatric cardiac surgery,offering a safe and feasible strategy for perioperative PI prevention.
文摘Objective:To analyze the impact of nursing interventions based on quantitative assessment using the Kano model on the quality of rehabilitation in patients with early-stage ovarian cancer following laparoscopic radical surgery.Methods:A prospective clinical study was conducted involving 96 patients with newly diagnosed early-stage ovarian cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery from December 2023 to December 2025.Patients were randomly assigned to groups using a random number table method before surgery.After surgery,the control group(n=48)received routine quantitative assessment nursing interventions,while the observation group(n=48)received nursing interventions based on quantitative assessment using the Kano model.Both groups received continuous nursing care until discharge.Differences between the groups were compared in terms of negative emotions,quality of life scores before and after postoperative intervention,postoperative recovery indicators,and nursing satisfaction evaluations on the day of discharge.Results:After intervention,the observation group had lower scores on the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS),as well as shorter recovery times for gastrointestinal function and food intake,and a shorter hospital stay compared to the control group.Additionally,the observation group had higher scores on the Quality-of-Life Instrument for Cancer Patients-Ovarian Cancer(QLICP-OV)than the control group,with statistically significant differences(p<0.05).The overall satisfaction with nursing care in the observation group was also higher than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(p<0.05).Conclusion:Implementing quantitative evaluation nursing interventions based on the Kano model for patients with early-stage ovarian cancer after laparoscopic radical surgery can,by addressing their postoperative basic health,disease awareness,and other intervention content needs to a comprehensive degree,actively promote postoperative recovery and improve their mental health and quality of life.

文摘BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal(GI)tumors are among the most prevalent malignancies,and surgical intervention remains a primary treatment modality.However,the complexity of GI surgery often leads to prolonged recovery and high postoperative complication rates,which threaten patient safety and functional outcomes.Enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)principles have been shown to improve perioperative outcomes through evidence-based,multidisciplinary care pathways.Despite its widespread adoption,there is a paucity of research focusing specifically on optimizing ERAS-guided nursing processes in the post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)and evaluating its impact on perioperative safety in patients undergoing GI tumor surgery.This study aimed to investigate whether an ERASbased PACU nursing protocol could enhance recovery,reduce complications,and improve patient safety in this surgical population.AIM To explore the impact of optimizing the recovery room nursing process based on ERAS on the perioperative safety of patients with GI tumors.METHODS A total of 260 patients with GI tumors who underwent elective surgeries under general anesthesia in our hospital from August 2023 to August 2025 and were then observed in the recovery unit(PACU)were selected.They were randomly divided into the observation group(the PACU nursing process was optimized based on ERAS)and the control group(the conventional PACU nursing process was adopted)by the random number grouping method,with 130 cases in each group.The time of gastric tube removal,urinary catheter removal,defecation time,hospital stay,time of leaving the room after tube removal,retention time in the recovery room,occurrence of complications,satisfaction and readmission rate were compared between the two groups after entering the room.Compare the occurrence of adverse events in the PACU nursing process between the two groups.RESULTS The time of gastric tube removal,urinary catheter removal,defecation time,hospital stay,retention time in the recovery room,total incidence of complications and readmission rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,and the satisfaction rate was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The occurrence of adverse events in the PACU nursing process in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Optimizing the PACU nursing process based on ERAS can effectively accelerate the recovery process of patients undergoing GI tumor surgery,reduce adverse events,improve nursing satisfaction,and at the same time,lower the incidence of adverse events in the PACU nursing process,providing a more refined management basis for clinical practice.
文摘With the intensification of population aging,knee and hip joint replacement surgeries have become core methods for treating end-stage joint diseases,with over a million cases performed globally each year.Postoperative rehabilitation nursing,as a crucial aspect of enhancing surgical outcomes,reducing complications,and facilitating patients’return to normal life,has its scientific and effective protocols directly influencing patient prognosis.This article systematically reviews the core research findings on rehabilitation nursing after joint replacement surgery based on the concept of evidence-based medicine,aiming to provide references for the formulation of standardized and personalized rehabilitation nursing plans in clinical settings.
文摘BACKGROUND There has been an increasing focus in recent years on health-care disparities.Studies investigating return to work(RTW)or sports are often performed in large,urban areas.Relatively few studies have investigated rates of return to farming or other heavy labor that is of interest to patients in rural areas.AIM To evaluate the literature regarding RTW in farming or heavy labor after orthopedic hip,knee,or shoulder surgery.METHODS A search was performed in the PubMed and EMBASE databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.Studies were included if they reported patients employed in farming or heavy labor,RTW rates after orthopedic surgery of the hip,knee,or shoulder,and had a minimum 6-month follow-up.A meta-analysis of proportions using a random-effects model was performed on three single-arm observational studies to estimate the pooled RTW rate following arthroscopic shoulder surgery.RESULTS Ten studies were included,and 101 farmers were identified among 440 total patients.One study involved hip surgery,two studies involved knee surgery,and seven studies involved shoulder surgery.RTW rates across studies varied by type of surgery and follow-up interval,ranging from 24%to 100%.The RTW rate was only 53.6%at 1 year following total hip arthroplasty.No studies investigated RTW in farmers following total knee arthroplasty.Among non-comparative studies,meta-analysis revealed a pooled RTW rate of 89%following arthroscopic shoulder surgery,with low heterogeneity(I^(2)=30.1%).Among comparative studies,one study reported significantly higher RTW odds for patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty compared to reverse shoulder arthroplasty(odds ratio=5.45).Overall,surgical intervention for shoulder pathology was associated with a high likelihood of RTW across multiple techniques,with particularly favorable outcomes for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.CONCLUSION This systematic review highlights the high rates of RTW in farmers and heavy laborers after shoulder surgery.However,our findings also underscore the need for more rural-specific research to guide patient counseling,rehabilitation expectations,and shared decision-making in this underserved population,particularly for orthopedic surgery of the hip and knee.
文摘Objective:To investigate the long-term prognosis and postoperative cosmetic outcomes of breast-conserving surgery combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with early-stage breast cancer,providing a reference for the selection of clinical treatment plans.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 68 patients with early-stage breast cancer admitted from January 2022 to December 2025.Based on the surgical approach,patients were divided into an observation group(breast-conserving surgery+sentinel lymph node biopsy)and a control group(other surgical methods such as modified radical mastectomy/total mastectomy).Clinical and pathological characteristics,incidence of postoperative complications,follow-up prognosis,and satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:Among the 68 patients,41 were in the observation group and 27 in the control group.The average age of patients in the observation group was(54.32±8.15)years,while that in the control group was(62.45±9.76)years.The average tumor size in the observation group was(1.86±0.72)cm,compared to(3.21±1.45)cm in the control group.The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 9.76%,significantly lower than that in the control group at 33.33%(P<0.05).The 6-month disease-free survival rate was 95.12%in the observation group and 88.89%in the control group,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The excellent and good rate of cosmetic outcomes in the observation group was 87.80%,significantly higher than that in the control group at 29.63%(P<0.05).Conclusion:Breast-conserving surgery combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy for early-stage breast cancer can achieve long-term prognostic outcomes comparable to those of traditional radical surgery,with the advantages of fewer postoperative complications and superior cosmetic results.This approach is worthy of clinical promotion and application,particularly for early-stage breast cancer patients who have a demand for preserving breast morphology.
文摘AIM:To investigate the long-term outcomes in acute primary angle closure(APAC)patients treated with lens extraction(LE)surgery and to identify risk factors for glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON).METHODS:In this longitudinal observational study,detailed medical histories of APAC patients and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations at final followup were collected.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of blindness.Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors associated with visual outcomes.RESULTS:This study included 39 affected eyes of 31 subjects(26 females)with an average age of 74.1±8.0y.At 6.7±4.2y after APAC attack,2(5.7%)eyes had bestcorrected visual acuity(VA)worse than 3/60.Advanced glaucomatous visual field loss was observed in 15(39.5%)affected eyes and 5(25.0%)fellow eyes.Nine affected eyes(23.7%)had GON,and 11(28.9%)were blind.Six(15.4%)affected eyes and 2(9.1%)fellow eyes had suspicious progression.A significantly higher blindness rate in factory workers compared to office workers.Logistic regression identified that worse VA at attack(OR 10.568,95%CI 1.288-86.695;P=0.028)and worse early postoperative VA(OR 13.214,95%CI 1.157-150.881;P=0.038)were risk factors for blindness.Multivariate regression showed that longer duration of elevated intraocular pressure(P=0.004)and worse early postoperative VA(P=0.009)were associated with worse visual outcomes.CONCLUSION:Despite LE surgery,some APAC patients experience continued visual function deterioration.Lifelong monitoring is necessary.Target pressure and progression rates should be re-evaluated during follow-up.
文摘Intussusception of the bowel is defined as the telescop-ing of a proximal segment of the gastrointestinal tract within the lumen of the adjacent segment.This condi-tion is frequent in children and presents with the classic triad of cramping abdominal pain,bloody diarrhea and a palpable tender mass.However,bowel intussusception in adults is considered a rare condition,accounting for 5% of all cases of intussusceptions and almost 1%-5%of bowel obstruction.Eight to twenty percent of cases are idiopathic,without a lead point lesion.Secondary intus-susception is caused by organic lesions,such as inflam-matory bowel disease,postoperative adhesions,Meckel's diverticulum,benign and malignant lesions,metastatic neoplasms or even iatrogenically,due to the presence of intestinal tubes,jejunostomy feeding tubes or after gas-tric surgery.Computed tomography is the most sensitive diagnostic modality and can distinguish between intus-susceptions with and without a lead point.Surgery is the definitive treatment of adult intussusceptions.Formal bowel resection with oncological principles is followed for every case where a malignancy is suspected.Reduction of the intussuscepted bowel is considered safe for benign lesions in order to limit the extent of resection or to avoid the short bowel syndrome in certain circumstances.
文摘Adult intussusception due to Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. However, the surgeon should still be suspicious of this condition since the non specific symptoms and the rarity of it make a preoperative diagnosis uncertain. Considering the secondary nature of adult intussusception and the necessity of early surgical intervention to avoid morbidity and mortality, we report two cases of intussusception due to MD in adults. A diverticulectomy using a TA stapler was performed in the first patient. In the second patient extensive fibrosis of the adjacent mesentery and thickening of jejunal mucosa were observed, so a segmental resection of the small bowel or affected ileal part and a hand-sewn anastomosis was performed. The postoperative period along with the long term follow-up was uneventful for both patients. The decision between diverticulectomy vs bowel resection can be based on the intussuscepted bowel condition. Early surgical intervention may ensure a favorable outcome.
文摘A 36-year-old male was admitted with right lower abdominal pain and diarrhea for more than 3 mo. Colonoscopy and a barium enema study revealed a submucosal tumor over the cecum, but computed tomography showed an ileal lipoma. There was no definitive diagnosis preoperatively, but ileocolic intussusception was noted during surgery. Single port laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy was performed because intra-operative reduction failed. The histological diagnosis of the resected tumor was lipoma. Single port laparoscopic surgery has recently been proven to be safe and feasible. There are advantages compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, such as smaller incision wounds, fewer port site complications, and easier conversion. However, there are some drawbacks which need to be overcome, such as difficulties in triangulation and instrument clashing. If there are no contraindications to laparoscopy, single port laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely and should be considered for diagnosis and treatment of intussusception in adults. Here, we report the first case of ileocolic intussusception successfully treated by single port laparoscopic surgery.
文摘AIM: To evaluate 20 adults with intussusception and to clarify the cause, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of this uncommon entity. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients aged 〉 18 years with a diagnosis of intestinal intussusception between 2000 and 2008. Patients with rectal prolapse, prolapse of or around an ostomy and gastroenterostomy intussusception were excluded. RESULTS: There were 20 rases of adult intussusception. Mean age was 47.7 years. Abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting were the most common symptoms. The majority of intussusceptions were in the small intestine (85%). There were three (15%) cases of colonic intussusception. Enteric intussusception consisted of five jejunojejunal cases, nine ileoileal, and four cases of ileocecal invagination. Among enteric intussusceptions, 14 were secondary to a benign process, and in one of these, the malignant cause was secondary to metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. All colonic lesions were malignant. All cases were treated surgically. CONCLUSION: Adult intussusception is an unusual and challenging condition and is a preoperative diagnostic problem. Treatment usually requires resection of the involved bowel segment. Reduction can be attempted in small-bowel intussusception if the segment involved is viable or malignancy is not suspected; however, a more careful approach is recommended in colonic intussusception because of a significantly higher coexistence of malignancy.
