In the observation group, 30 patients were treated with laparoscopic surgery. After the completion of treatment, the operative time, the incidence of postoperative complications, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function after surgery and the occurrence of the second operation were compared between the two groups. Results: comparison of the time spent on the whole operation between the two groups. The duration of operation was (66.35 ± 5.57) min in the observation group and (121.24 ± 11.27) min in the control group. After operation, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function in two groups was (2.61 ± 0.87) d in the observation group and (3.89 ± 1.24) d in the control group. The length of stay was (6.23 ± 1.25) d in the observation group and (9.57 ± 2.05) d in the control group. All the above comparisons were P < 0.05. Conclusion: in the treatment process of periappendiceal abscess patients, the operative time, postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time and length of stay of patients are significantly longer, which is worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多

This paper presents the mathematical kinematic position modeling of the laparoscopic tools used for autonomous positioning of a laparoscope in such operations. These models are obtained using Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) Notations and Homogenous Transformation Matrix (HTM). The laparoscopic tools are considered as six degrees of freedom (DOF) mechanisms while the laparoscope has four DOF. The 3D loop closure equation is used to obtain the laparoscope kinematic position models in terms of those of the laparoscopic tools. These models are used to simulate and align the laparoscope camera with the surgeon’s laparoscopic Tools Center Points (TCP). The obtained results show the smooth positioning of the laparoscope camera for better visu-alization of laparoscopic surgery environments.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND An intrauterine device(IUD)is a contraceptive device placed in the uterine cavity and is a common contraceptive method for Chinese women.However,an IUD may cause complications due to placement time,intrauterine pressure and other factors.Ectopic IUDs are among the most serious complications.Ectopic IUDs are common in the myometrium and periuterine organs,and there are few reports of ectopic IUDs in the urinary bladder,especially in the anterior wall.CASE SUMMARY A 52-year-old woman was hospitalized due to a urinary bladder foreign body found via abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography(CT)examination.The patient had a 2-year history of recurrent abdominal distension and lower abdominal pain,accompanied by frequent urination,urgency,dysuria and other discomfort.Ultrasound examination revealed foreign bodies in the bladder cavity,with calculus on the surface of the foreign bodies.CT revealed a circular foreign body on the anterior wall of the urinary bladder,suggesting the possibility of an ectopic IUD.After laparoscopic exploration,an annular IUD was found in the anterior wall of urinary bladder,and an oval calculus with a diameter of approximately 2 cm was attached to the surface of the bladder cavity.The IUD and calculus were successfully and completely removed.The patient recovered well after surgery.CONCLUSION Abdominal ultrasound and CT are effective methods for detecting ectopic IUDs.The IUD is located in the urinary bladder and requires early surgical treatment.The choice of surgical method is determined by comprehensively considering the depth of the IUD in the bladder muscle layer,the situation of complicated calculus,the situation of intravesical inflammation and medical technology and equipment.
文摘To explore the clinical effect of laparoscope for patients with periappendiceal abscess. In the observation group, 30 patients were treated with laparoscopic surgery. After the completion of treatment, the operative time, the incidence of postoperative complications, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function after surgery and the occurrence of the second operation were compared between the two groups. Results: comparison of the time spent on the whole operation between the two groups. The duration of operation was (66.35 ± 5.57) min in the observation group and (121.24 ± 11.27) min in the control group. After operation, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function in two groups was (2.61 ± 0.87) d in the observation group and (3.89 ± 1.24) d in the control group. The length of stay was (6.23 ± 1.25) d in the observation group and (9.57 ± 2.05) d in the control group. All the above comparisons were P < 0.05. Conclusion: in the treatment process of periappendiceal abscess patients, the operative time, postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time and length of stay of patients are significantly longer, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

文摘BACKGROUND Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy(LDP)has emerged as the preferred approach for both benign and malignant lesions located in the pancreatic body and tail.Nevertheless,a notable deficiency persists in the absence of a standardized,procedure-specific metric for evaluating and comparing surgical quality.A composite measure termed“textbook outcome(TO)”,which encompasses key short-term endpoints,has been validated in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy but has not yet been established in dedicated LDP cohorts.The definition and prediction of TO in this context could aid in facilitating cross-institutional benchmarking and fostering advancements in quality improvement.AIM To establish procedure-specific criteria for TO and identify independent predictors of TO failure in patients undergoing LDP.METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent LDP at a single high-volume pancreatic center between January 2015 and August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.TO was defined as the absence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula(grade B/C),post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage(grade B/C),severe complications(Clavien-Dindo≥III),readmission within 30 days,and in-hospital or 30-day mortality.Multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify independent predictors of TO failure,and a nomogram was constructed and internally validated.RESULTS Among 405 eligible patients,286(70.6%)attained TO.Multivariable analysis revealed that female sex[odds ratio(OR)=0.62,95%confidence interval(CI):0.39-0.99]conferred a protective effect,while preoperative endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration(OR=2.66,95%CI:1.05-6.73),pancreatic portal hypertension(OR=2.81,95%CI:1.06-7.45),and cystic-solid(OR=2.51,95%CI:1.34-4.69)or solid lesions(OR=1.91,95%CI:1.06-3.44)were independently associated with TO failure(all P<0.05).The derived nomogram exhibited modest discrimination and calibration when assessed in both the training and validation datasets.CONCLUSION The proposed LDP-specific definition of TO is feasible and discriminative,and the developed nomogram provides an objective tool for individualized risk assessment.

文摘Objective:Sepsis exhibits remarkable heterogeneity in disease progression trajectories,and accurate identificationof distinct trajectory-based phenotypes is critical for implementing personalized therapeutic strategies and prognostic assessment.However,trajectory clustering analysis of time-series clinical data poses substantial methodological challenges for researchers.This study provides a comprehensive tutorial framework demonstrating six trajectory modeling approaches integrated with proteomic analysis to guide researchers in identifying sepsis subtypes after laparoscopic surgery.Methods:This study employs simulated longitudinal data from 300 septic patients after laparoscopic surgery to demonstrate six trajectory modeling methods(group-based trajectory modeling,latent growth mixture modeling,latent transition analysis,time-varying effect modeling,K-means for longitudinal data,agglomerative hierarchical clustering)for identifying associations between predefinedsequential organ failure assessment trajectories and 25 proteomic biomarkers.Clustering performance was evaluated via multiple metrics,and a biomarker discovery pipeline integrating principal component analysis,random forests,feature selection,and receiver operating characteristic analysis was developed.Results:The six methods demonstrated varying performance in identifying trajectory structures,with each approach exhibiting distinct analytical characteristics.The performance metrics revealed differences across methods,which may inform context-specificmethod selection and interpretation strategies.Conclusion:This study illustrates practical implementations of trajectory modeling approaches under controlled conditions,facilitating informed method selection for clinical researchers.The inclusion of complete R code and integrated proteomics workflows offers a reproducible analytical framework connecting temporal pattern recognition to biomarker discovery.Beyond sepsis,this pipeline-oriented approach may be adapted to diverse clinical scenarios requiring longitudinal disease characterization and precision medicine applications.The comparative analysis reveals that each method has distinct strengths,providing a practical guide for clinical researchers in selecting appropriate methods based on their specificstudy goals and data characteristics.
文摘Robotic inguinal hernia repair remains in the early stages of implementation,and its potential advantages over the laparoscopic approach are still a matter of debate.This narrative review aims to summarize the findingsof major systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials and explore variables not adequately addressed in those studies.The literature review indicates that robotic inguinal hernia repair is associated with longer operative times but has improved ergonomics compared with laparoscopy.It is a safe procedure that results in a reduced inflammatory response,similar complication rates,and no significantdifference in acute postoperative pain.Although it involves higher direct costs,its cost-effectiveness remains unclear owing to a lack of analysis including indirect costs.Ongoing controversy continues regarding long-term benefits.The most recent systematic review pointed towards lower recurrence rates with robotic surgery,although randomized controlled trials have not validated this finding.Data on chronic pain are currently insufficientto draw firmconclusions.Further studies are needed to assess its use in complex cases and the role of novel techniques.

文摘Background:According to the 2022 update of the BCLC strategy,laparoscopic liver resection(LLR)is considered feasible for BCLC stage 0-A hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients with clinically significant portal hypertension(CSPH).However,there is still no research to explore the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open liver resection(OLR)in the specific patients with BCLC stage 0-A HCC and CSPH.Methods:Patients diagnosed with BCLC stage 0-A HCC and CSPH who underwent liver resection at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from February 2018 to December 2022 were analyzed.Demographic characteristics,pathological findings and postoperative outcomes were compared using propensity score matching(PSM).Long-term outcomes after surgery were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis both before and after PSM.Results:A total of 409 patients,including 261 LLRs and 148 OLRs,were enrolled in this study.There were imbalances between the groups in baseline information.After 1:1 PSM,118 patients were included in each group with comparable baseline characteristics.Patients in the LLR group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss compared to those in the OLR group(median 223 vs.318 mL,P<0.001),and fewer postoperative complications(33.9%vs.57.6%,P<0.001),including lower rates of postoperative liver decompensation(16.9%vs.28.0%,P=0.043),postoperative ascites(18.6%vs.31.4%,P=0.024)and pulmonary infections(12.7%vs.29.7%,P=0.001).The long-term follow-up showed that overall survival(P=0.154)and recurrence-free survival(P=0.376)were comparable between the two groups.In subgroup analysis,patients with PLT≤75×10^(9)/L suffered more postoperative liver decompensation(PLD)and ascites than patiens with PLT>75×10^(9)/L.Conclusions:Compared with OLR,LLR had less intraoperative blood loss,fewer postoperative complications and comparable oncological outcomes for patients with BCLC stage 0/A HCC and CSPH.
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We found the qualitative study by Xu et al.on how patients feel about laparoscopic incisions under enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)protocols to be very interesting.1 Xu et al.carried out a qualitative study on patient experience with laparoscopic incisions under an ERAS protocol to highlight the problem of psychosocial and aesthetic concerns,which are often overlooked when planning surgical operations.This study,which involved semistructured interviews with sixteen people,aimed to narrow perioperative education and the decision-making process for incision site selection,thus making the processes more focused on patient priorities.The study is based on a timely but under-researched subject area;however,it is possible to outline four possible areas of improvement that would allow the study to be more transparent and,at the same time,more applicable to clinical practice.
文摘Impacted upper ureteral stones are definedas calculi that remain lodged in the same location within the upper ureter for more than two months,1 and they are typically associated with inflammation,mucosal edema,and fibrosisof the surrounding ureteral wall.These stones often lead to significantclinical consequences,including persistent flankpain,hydronephrosis,infection,impaired renal function,and in severe cases,irreversible kidney damage.
文摘Based on the Bismuth-Corlette classification of hilar cholangiocarcinoma,the patients with types I,II,and III can undergo radical resection in the absence of extensive intrahepatic metastasis and vascular invasion[1].Depending on the scope of tumor invasion in bile duct,a combined resection of parts of the liver,hepatic ducts,common bile ducts,regional lymph nodes,and even parts of the duodenum and pancreas is necessary,along with biliary and gastrointestinal reconstructions[2].The surgical plan is complex,involving a large resection area and significant trauma.In recent years,laparoscopic or robot assisted radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma has been applied clinically[3,4].With the advanced laparoscopic equipment,many patients undergo hepatopancreatoduodenectomy successfully[5].The limitations of traditional laparoscopic techniques restrict their wide application in clinical practice.However,the Da Vinci robot has been widely applied due to its clear field of vision and flexible manipulation.However,its utilization in hepato-pancreatoduodenectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma is still relatively rare.Here,we report a case with hilar cholangiocarcinoma at clinical stage IIIb who underwent robot-assisted hepato-pancreatoduodenectomy.
文摘Over the past ten years,numerous papers have been published on the use of indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence in liver surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).There are many different applications.The first involves targeting superficial tumors in patients with macronodular cirrhosis and an irregular liver surface.In a minimally invasive setting,the lack of tactile feedback on the hepatic surface makes detecting subcapsular HCC with ultrasound alone challenging.ICG fusion images can mimic the tactile feedback of the hand and act as an ultrasound booster.ICG fluorescence can be used to evaluate tumor residues after minimally invasive thermal ablation.ICG fluorescence imaging can also be used to identify the grade of HCC early on and evaluate the microinvasive component.

文摘BACKGROUND With the increasing use of laparoscopic techniques in living-donor kidney transplantation,limitations in donor vessel length,particularly of the right renal vein,pose significant challenges for vascular anastomosis to the recipient’s external iliac vein.These anatomical constraints can complicate graft implantation and increase the risk of postoperative complications.CASE SUMMARY To address the issue of short right renal veins,several surgical strategies have been proposed.In this report,we describe our experience with three cases in which venous extension was successfully achieved using a venous cuff interposition technique during back-table reconstruction.This approach was used to facilitate secure vascular anastomosis and improve graft positioning in anatomically complex transplant scenarios.CONCLUSION Venous cuff interposition represents an effective technique for managing short renal veins in living-donor kidney transplantation.It provides additional length and flexibility,easing anastomotic tension and supporting successful transplantation.
文摘Background:Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy(MIDP)is increasingly being used,although its oncologic safety for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)remains controversial.In Japan,MIDP for PDAC has limited endorsement due to insufficient data.This study aimed to compare the perioperative and long-term outcomes of open distal pancreatectomy(ODP)and MIDP for PDAC.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed patients with resectable pancreatic body and tail cancer treated with ODP or MIDP(laparoscopic or robotic)between January 2007 and July 2022.The surgical procedures(ODP and MIDP)were compared and the patient characteristics,perioperative outcomes,and long-term outcomes were analyzed.We also compared the outcomes of patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)and without NAC.Results:A total of 72 distal pancreatectomies were performed(37 ODPs and 35 MIDPs).In the upfront group,MIDP resulted in significantly less blood loss than ODP(P<0.01),despite similar operative time.There was no statistically significant difference in the 2-year recurrence-free survival(RFS)rates between ODP and MIDP(39.7%vs.57.8%,P=0.60)or in the overall survival(OS)rates(66.7%vs.74.1%,P=0.43).Similarly,in the NAC group,MIDP resulted in significantly less blood loss than ODP(P=0.01);ODP and MIDP had similar 2-year RFS rates(41.7%and 60.0%,P=0.75)and OS rates(50.0%and 70.0%,P=0.36).The interval from surgery to adjuvant chemotherapy initiation did not significantly differ between the ODP and MIDP subgroups in both the upfront group(P=0.13)and the NAC group(P=0.14).The incidence of recurrence was 64.8%for ODP and 42.8%for MIDP(P=0.06).Both procedures showed similar distributions of local and distant recurrence.Conclusions:MIDP caused less blood loss and had similar oncologic safety compared with ODP.MIDP could become a feasible,minimally invasive option with sufficient oncologic safety for pancreatic body and tail cancers.
文摘BACKGROUND Repeated application of the Pringle maneuver is a key obstacle to safe minimally invasive repeat liver resection(MISRLR).However,limited technical guidance is available.AIM To study the utility of newly developed Pringle taping method guided by liver surface in MISRLR.METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 72 cases of MISRLR performed by a single surgeon at two centers from August 2015 to July 2024.Beginning in October 2019,a liver surface-guided encirclement of hepatoduodenal ligament(LSEH)was used for repeat Pringle taping.Perioperative outcomes including Pringle taping success,operative time,blood loss,conversion rate,morbidity,and mortality were assessed.RESULTS Laparoscopic and robotic approaches were used in 63 patients and 9 patients,respectively.The median operative time,blood loss,and hospital stay were 331.5 minutes,70 mL,and 8 days,respectively.Open conversion occurred in two cases(2.8%)due to severe adhesions and right renal vein injury.Clavien-Dindo grade≥III complications occurred in 5.6%of cases with no mortality.Anti-adhesion barriers were used in 54 patients(75.0%).LSEH was attempted in 57 cases,improving Pringle taping success from 33.0%to 91.4%(P<0.001).LSEH succeeded in all patients with prior open liver resection(n=11).Among 6 patients in whom LSEH failed,3 patients(50.0%)had undergone a third liver resection,and 1 patient had a history of distal gastrectomy with choledochoduodenostomy.CONCLUSION The newly developed LSEH technique for Pringle taping in MISRLR was feasible,enhancing safety and reproducibility even in patients with a history of open liver resection.
文摘In the 2010s,laparoscopic hepatectomy(LH) rapidly gained popularity in Japan as a minimally invasive approach for liver resections.It offers significant advantages,such as reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery.The Glissonean pedicle approach,employed during LH,enables precise anatomical resection,particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver tumors.Innovations in training,including the use of animal models and the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery certification program,have been instrumental in improving surgical expertise.However,complex hepatectomies involving vascular or biliary reconstruction pose substantial technical challenges.Robotassisted hepatectomy(RAH) has shown great potential for improved precision and visualization,though its high costs and uncertain long-term benefits limit its widespread adoption.Further technological advancements,enhanced training programs,and large-scale comparative trials are necessary to evaluate the longterm efficacy of both LH and RAH.
文摘BACKGROUND Left colon cancer surgery relies on laparoscopic hemicolectomy,with digestive tract reconstruction critical.End-to-side anastomosis(ESA)and side-to-side anastomosis(SSA)anastomoses are common,but their comparative outcomes,especially in splenic flexure handling and efficacy,need clarification.This study compares ESA and SSA to guide surgical practice.AIM To compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy with ESA and SSA.METHODS A total of 334 patients were included,with 105 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University and 229 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University,between January 1,2012,and May 31,2020.The patients were divided into two groups:146 cases in the ESA group and 188 cases in the SSA group.Clinical data from both groups were compared,and the survival prognosis was followed up.RESULTS The operation time for the ESA group was significantly shorter than that of the SSA group(197.1±57.7 minutes vs 218.6±67.5 minutes,χ2=4.298,P=0.039).There were no significant differences between the two groups in intraoperative blood loss,postoperative pain score at 48 hours,time to first bowel movement,number of lymph nodes dissected,or postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage,bleeding,stenosis.and adhesive intestinal obstruction at 6 months,12 months,and 24 months(P>0.05).Specifically,the incidence of complications like anastomotic leakage was 2.1%in the ESA group vs 4.3%in the SSA group(P=0.264).The 5-year disease-free survival(DFS)rate was 66.4%for the ESA group and 63.9%for the SSA group(P=0.693).There were no significant differences in the overall survival rate between the two groups.The incidence of splenic laceration was significantly higher in the SSA group(3.7%vs 0.7%,P=0.018).Overall,the 5-year DFS was 66.4%for ESA and 63.9%for SSA,with no significant difference in survival between the groups(P=0.693).CONCLUSION Both laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy with ESA and SSA are feasible and offer comparable long-term outcomes.ESA may reduce the need for splenic flexure dissociation,particularly when the tumor is located at the descending colon or its junction with the sigmoid colon,and especially in obese patients,elderly individuals with multiple complications,or those with severe adhesions in the splenic flexure of the surgical field.
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.
