Accumulating data have demonstrated that laparoscopic colectomy is associated with better short-term outcomes and equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared with open surgery. However, some controversies regarding the oncologic quality of mini-invasive surgery for rectal cancer exist. Meanwhile, some progresses in colorectal surgery, such as robotic technology, single-incision laparoscopic surgery, natural orifice specimen extraction, and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, have been made in recent years. In this article, we review the published data and mainly focus on the current status and latest advances of mini-invasive surgery for colorectal cancer.展开更多

In these cases, and when the patient’s BMI is high above 40 kg/m2, the weight of the breasts or abdomen produces what we consider suffocation when the patient is placed in horizontal position on surgical tables, decreasing his respiratory capacity and increasing the difficulty in treating respiratory or embolic risks. An 8-kg breast on the patient’s chest prevents normal breathing. An abdomen with a volume of 30 kg causes difficulties in all senses, making the physiological expansion of the lungs impossible and even preventing surgical assistance to patients. These patients are almost always customers who sleep in the sitting position to breathe better. The gigantic extirpation of the surgical parts facilitates a better respiratory expansion reducing by a large percentage the risk of death, what we call body relief. This relief does not free the patient from bariatric surgery for a possible weight loss, which is vital for the proper functioning of the organs and decreasing arterial hypertension and diabetes.展开更多

With rapid economic development, an increasing number of patients receive facial skeletal contouring surgery combined with other facial aesthetic sur geries. From January 2014 to December 2016, a total of 37 patients underwent Facial skeletal contouring surgery combined with facial esthetic surgeries in our department. The modified L-shape reduction malarplasty and reduction mandibular angleplasty were performed using reciprocating saws. The combined facial esthetic surgeries are 4 cases of double eyelid blepharoplasty, 6 cases of augmentation rhinoplasty, 2 cases of autologous fat transplantation and 1 case of augmentation genioplasty. 36 patients were satisfied with the final facial contour and appearance. No severe complications were seen in our series. Facial skeletal contouring surgeries can drastically and permanently change the patient's facial contour. Plastic surgeons should be acquainted with the metabolic aesthetic trends and be familiar with all the surgical techniques. The selection of an appropriate procedure or combined procedures for individual patients should be made according to the cultural background, patient's chief complain, anatomic variations and possible operative sequ elae.展开更多

文摘Laparoscopic techniques have been extensively used for the surgical management of colorectal cancer during the last two decades. Accumulating data have demonstrated that laparoscopic colectomy is associated with better short-term outcomes and equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared with open surgery. However, some controversies regarding the oncologic quality of mini-invasive surgery for rectal cancer exist. Meanwhile, some progresses in colorectal surgery, such as robotic technology, single-incision laparoscopic surgery, natural orifice specimen extraction, and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, have been made in recent years. In this article, we review the published data and mainly focus on the current status and latest advances of mini-invasive surgery for colorectal cancer.
文摘AIM:To study the short-term outcome of patients treated with laparoscopic right colectomy and how intracorporeal anastomosis has improved the outcome.METHODS:We retrospectively examined all patients affected by colorectal cancer who underwent a laparoscopic right colectomy between January 2006 and December 2010 in our department.Our evaluation criteria were:diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma at presurgical biopsy,elective surgery,and the same surgeon.We excluded:emergency surgery,conversions from laparotomic colectomy,and other surgeons.The endpoints we examined were:surgical time,number of lymph nodes removed,length of stay(removal of nasogastric tube,bowel movements,gas evacuation,solid and liquid feeding,hospitalization),and major complications.Seventy-two patients were divided into two groups:intracorporeal anastomosis(39 patients)and extracorporeal anastomosis(33 patients).RESULTS:Significant differences were observed between intracorporeal vs extracorporeal anastomosis,respectively,for surgical times(186.8 min vs 184.1 min,P < 0.001),time to resumption of gas evacuation(3 d vs 3.5 d,P < 0.001),days until resumption of bowel movements(3.8 d vs 4.9 d,P < 0.001),days until resumption of liquid diet(3.5 d vs 4.5 d,P < 0.001),days until resuming a solid diet(4.6 d vs 5.7 d,P < 0.001),and total hospitalization duration(7.4 d vs 8.5 d,P < 0.001).In the intracorporeal group,on average,19 positive lymph nodes were removed;in the extracorporeal group,on average,14 were removed P < 0.001).Thus,intracorporeal anastomosis for right laparoscopic colectomy improved patient outcome by providing faster recovery of nutrition,faster recovery of intestinal function,and shorter hospitalization than extracorporeal anastomosis.CONCLUSION:Short-term outcomes favor intracorporeal anastomosis,confirming that a less traumatic surgical approach improves patient outcome.
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The optimal timing of surgery in case of synchronous presentation of colorectal cancer and liver metastases is still under debate.Staged approach,with initial colorectal resection followed by liver resection(LR),or even the reverse,liver-first approach in specific situations,is traditionally preferred.Simultaneous resections,however,represent an appealing strategy,because may have perioperative risks comparable to staged resections in appropriately selected patients,while avoiding a second surgical procedure.In patients with larger or multiple synchronous presentation of colorectal cancer and liver metastases,simultaneous major hepatectomies may determine worse perioperative outcomes,so that parenchymal-sparing LR should represent the most appropriate option whenever feasible.Mini-invasive colorectal surgery has experienced rapid spread in the last decades,while laparoscopic LR has progressed much slower,and is usually reserved for limited tumours in favourable locations.Moreover,mini-invasive parenchymal-sparing LR is more complex,especially for larger or multiple tumours in difficult locations.It remains to be established if simultaneous resections are presently feasible with mini-invasive approaches or if we need further technological advances and surgical expertise,at least for more complex procedures.This review aims to critically analyze the current status and future perspectives of simultaneous resections,and the present role of the available miniinvasive techniques.

文摘Objective:Many factors affect intraoperative blood loss(BL)in mini-invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF)procedures,but only few has examined.Specifically,the impact of bone mineral density(BMD)levels on intraoperative BL.This study aims to examine the correlation between these two factors.Methods:Retrospective review of 120 patients with low back disorders who were scheduled to undergo mini-invasive PLIF from October 2018 to October 2019 was performed.Patients were divided into two groups based on BMD of the lumbar spine:normal group and abnormal group(osteoporosis and osteopenia).Comparison of age,gender,BMD,BL,BMI,prothrombin time,activated partial thromboplastin time,haemoglobin concentration,intraoperative mean arterial pressure,platelet count,and operative time(OT)between the two groups,and correlation analysis of BMD and BL were conducted.Results:The mean BL of patients in the abnormal group was remarkably higher than that in the normal group:357.22±152.55 ml and 259.37±125.90 ml respectively(p<0.001).The partial correlation coefficient between BL and BMD was0.45(p<0.001).The results of univariate regression analysis demonstrated that only BMD,gender,and OT were related to BL(BMD,r=0.427,p<0.001;gender,r=0.211,p=0.024;OT,r=0.318,p=0.001).While multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that patients with lower BMD and longer OT had a higher amount of intraoperative BL(p<0.001).Conclusions:BMD is an important factor influencing intraoperative BL in mini-invasive PLIF.It should be assessed routinely as a part of the preoperative examination to improve preoperative assessment and ensure patient safety.
文摘Depending on the treatment and weight of the breasts or abdomen, they may exceed volumes considered giant and morbidly obese. In these cases, and when the patient’s BMI is high above 40 kg/m2, the weight of the breasts or abdomen produces what we consider suffocation when the patient is placed in horizontal position on surgical tables, decreasing his respiratory capacity and increasing the difficulty in treating respiratory or embolic risks. An 8-kg breast on the patient’s chest prevents normal breathing. An abdomen with a volume of 30 kg causes difficulties in all senses, making the physiological expansion of the lungs impossible and even preventing surgical assistance to patients. These patients are almost always customers who sleep in the sitting position to breathe better. The gigantic extirpation of the surgical parts facilitates a better respiratory expansion reducing by a large percentage the risk of death, what we call body relief. This relief does not free the patient from bariatric surgery for a possible weight loss, which is vital for the proper functioning of the organs and decreasing arterial hypertension and diabetes.
文摘Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)in December 2019 in China,various measures have been adopted in order to attenuate the impact of the virus on the population.With regard to spine surgery,French physicians are devoted to take place in the national plan against COVID-19,the French Spine Surgery Society therefore decided to elaborate specific guidelines for management of spinal disorders during COVID-19 pandemic in order to prioritize management of patients.A three levels stratification was elaborated with Level I:Urgent surgical indications,Level II:Surgical indications associated to a potential loss of chance for the patient and Level III:Non-urgent surgical indications.We also report French experience in a COVID-19 cluster region illustrated by two clinical cases.We hope that the guidelines formulated by the French Spine Surgery Society and the experience of spine surgeons from a cluster region will be helpful in order optimizing the management of patients with urgent spinal conditions during the pandemic.
文摘BACKGROUND Although the 2021 Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery(ERAS)provide recommendations for ERAS in gastrointestinal surgery,the clinical application of standard ERAS nursing models is challenging due to the variety of diseases involved in gastrointestinal surgery and the com-plex factors contributing to patient stress responses.Moreover,stress responses are more severe in older adult patients.Therefore,precision medicine is required to improve the quality of nursing care and promote postoperative recovery in gastrointestinal surgery.and demonstrate nursing benefits through clinical practice.METHODS This randomized clinical trial first established an evidence-based nursing ERAS protocol in older adult patients based on literature related to perioperative nursing measures for gastrointestinal surgery stress response.Next,392 older adult patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery and were admitted to our hospital between December 2021 and June 2023 were categorized into two groups to receive evidence-based(study group)or conventional(control group)ERAS nursing models,respectively.Intraoperative physiological parameters during surgery and postoperative recovery indicators were compared between the groups.RESULTS Among 64 domestic and international studies,the stress responses of older adult patients mainly included emotional anxiety,sleep disorders,gastrointestinal discomfort,physical weakness,pain,and swelling.The appropriate nursing interventions included comprehensive psychological counseling,pre-and postoperative nutritional support,temperature control,pain management,and rehabilitation training.Compared with the control group,the study group showed lower heart rate,mean arterial pressure,blood glucose level,and adrenaline level;shorter duration of drainage tube placement,time to first flatus,time to first ambulation,and postoperative hospital stay;lower anxiety scores on postoperative day 3;and lower incidences of postoperative infection,obstruction,poor wound healing,and gastrointestinal reactions were lower in the study group(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION The evidence-based nursing measures targeting stress responses based on the conventional ERAS nursing model resulted in stable intraoperative physiological parameters during surgery,promoted postoperative recovery,and reduced the incidence of complications.

文摘BACKGROUND Laparoscopic hepatectomy(LH)has been applied in the treatment of hepatolithiasisa in patients with a history of biliary surgery and has already achieved good clinical outcomes.However,reoperative LH(rLH)includes multiple procedures,and the no studies have examined the clinical value of individual laparoscopic procedures.AIM To evaluate the safety and feasibility of each rLH procedure for hepatolithiasisa in patients with a history of biliary surgery.METHODS Patients with previous biliary surgery who underwent reoperative hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis were studied.Liver resection procedures were divided into three categories:(1)Laparoscopic/open left lateral sectionectomy[reoperative laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy(rLLLS)/reoperative open left lateral sectionectomy(rOLLS)];(2)Laparoscopic/open left hemihepatectomy[reoperative laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy(rLLH)/reoperative open left hemihepatectomy(rOLH)];and(3)Laparoscopic/open complex hepatectomy[reoperative laparoscopic complex hepatectomy(rLCH)/reoperative open complex hepate ctomy(rOCH)].The clinical outcomes were compared between the rLLLS,rLLH,and rLCH groups,and subgroup analyses were performed for the rLLLS/rOLLS,rLLH/rOLH,and rLCH/rOCH subgroups.RESULTS A total of 185 patients were studied,including 101 rLH patients(40 rLLLS,50 rLLH,and 11 rLCH)and 84 reoperative open hepatectomy(40 rOLLS,33 rOLH,and 11 rOCH).Among the three types of rLH procedure,rLLLS required the shortest operation time(240.0 minutes vs 325.0 minutes vs 350.0 minutes,P=0.001)and the lowest blood transfusion rate(10.0%vs 22.0%vs 54.5%,P=0.005),followed by rLLH.The rLCH had the highest conversion rate(P<0.05)and postoperative intensive care unit stay rate(P=0.001).Most clinical outcomes in rLLLS and rLLH were superior or similar to those in the corresponding open surgery,while there were no differences in all outcomes between the rLCH and rOCH subgroups.CONCLUSION The rLH is safe for hepatolithiasis patients with a history of biliary surgery.The rLLLS and rLLH can be recommended for these patients,whereas rLCH should be applied with caution.
文摘BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery has emerged as the preferred treatment for acute appendicitis,a common acute abdominal condition.Despite surgical advances,postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction and delayed recovery continue to negatively impact rehabilitation outcomes and patient quality of life.Laser acupuncture represents a promising emerging complementary therapy with potential benefits for promoting functional recovery.AIM To evaluate the clinical efficacy of laser acupuncture in enhancing gastrointestinal function recovery following laparoscopic appendectomy and to investigate its potential applications in postoperative rehabilitation.METHODS This retrospective controlled clinical study selected 120 acute appendicitis patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy from January 2022 to December 2023 at a tertiary hospital.Patients were randomly divided into two groups:Routine treatment group(n=60)and laser acupuncture intervention group(n=60).There were no significant statistical differences in baseline characteristics(age,gender,body mass index,appendicitis severity)between the two groups.The routine treatment group received standard postoperative care,while the laser acupuncture intervention group received additional laser acupuncture treatment on top of standard care.Key observation indicators included time to first exhaust,time to first bowel movement,time to gastrointestinal function recovery,and postoperative complication rates.RESULTS Patients in the laser acupuncture intervention group showed significantly faster gastrointestinal function recovery compared to the routine treatment group.Specifically,time to first exhaust was significantly shortened(intervention group:12.5±2.3 hours vs control group:18.7±3.1 hours,P<0.05),time to first bowel movement was earlier(intervention group:36.4±4.6 hours vs control group:48.2±5.7 hours,P<0.05),postoperative complication rate was significantly reduced(intervention group:8.3%vs control group:20.0%,P<0.05),postoperative pain score was significantly lower(intervention group:3.2±1.1 vs control group:4.7±1.5,P<0.05),and intestinal motility recovery was faster and more effective.CONCLUSION Laser acupuncture,as an auxiliary treatment method,can significantly promote gastrointestinal function recovery in patients after laparoscopic appendectomy,reduce complications,and improve postoperative comfort.This technique has advantages such as minimal invasiveness,rapid recovery,and few side effects,making it worthy of further clinical promotion and application.

文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer,one of the most common malignancies,is primarily treated through surgery.With the widespread use of laparoscopy,gastrointestinal reconstruction remains a key area of research.The choice between intraperitoneal anastomosis(IA)and extraperitoneal anastomosis(EA)remains a subject of considerable debate.This study uses intraperitoneal isoperistaltic side-to-side anastomosis(IISSA)with hand-sewn closure of the common opening to evaluate its safety and short-term outcomes.It is hypothesized that this technique may offer better short-term outcomes than EA.AIM To investigate the safety and short-term outcomes of IISSA with hand-sewn closure of the common opening compared to EA.METHODS Patients who underwent laparoscopic radical colon cancer surgery between January 2018 and June 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were retrospectively analyzed.Surgical,postoperative,and pathological features of the IA and EA groups were observed before and after propensity score matching.Patients with right-sided and left-sided colon cancer were separated,each further divided into IA and EA groups(R-IA vs R-EA for right-sided,L-IA vs L-EA for left-sided),for stratified analysis of the aforementioned indicators.RESULTS After propensity score matching,63 pairs were matched in each group.In surgical characteristics,the IA group exhibited less blood loss and shorter incisions than the EA group.Regarding postoperative recovery,the IA group showed earlier recovery of gastrointestinal function.Pathologically,the IA group had greater lymph node clearance.Relative to the R-EA group,the R-IA group experienced reduced blood loss,shorter assisted incisions,earlier recovery of gastrointestinal functions and greater lymph node dissection.When compared to the L-EA group,the L-IA group demonstrated earlier postoperative anal exhaust and defecation,along with a reduced length of hospitalization.Regarding postoperative complications,no statistically significant differences were found between the groups either after matching or in the stratified analyses.CONCLUSION Compared to EA,IISSA with hand-sewn closure of the common opening is a safe and feasible option for laparoscopic radical colon cancer surgery.
文摘Facial skeletal contouring surgery such as reduction malarplasty and reduction angleplasty is popular in Asian countries. With rapid economic development, an increasing number of patients receive facial skeletal contouring surgery combined with other facial aesthetic sur geries. From January 2014 to December 2016, a total of 37 patients underwent Facial skeletal contouring surgery combined with facial esthetic surgeries in our department. The modified L-shape reduction malarplasty and reduction mandibular angleplasty were performed using reciprocating saws. The combined facial esthetic surgeries are 4 cases of double eyelid blepharoplasty, 6 cases of augmentation rhinoplasty, 2 cases of autologous fat transplantation and 1 case of augmentation genioplasty. 36 patients were satisfied with the final facial contour and appearance. No severe complications were seen in our series. Facial skeletal contouring surgeries can drastically and permanently change the patient's facial contour. Plastic surgeons should be acquainted with the metabolic aesthetic trends and be familiar with all the surgical techniques. The selection of an appropriate procedure or combined procedures for individual patients should be made according to the cultural background, patient's chief complain, anatomic variations and possible operative sequ elae.
文摘BACKGROUND Elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery are at high risk for hypothermia-related complications.This study explores the efficacy of periop-erative composite insulation interventions in maintaining normothermia and reducing postoperative risks in this vulnerable group.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of perioperative composite insulation in older patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.METHODS We selected 100 older patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer at Huzhou Central Hospital from September 2023 to April 2024.Using a random number table,patients were divided into a control group and inter-vention group of 50 patients each.After returning to the regular ward,the con-ventional group received traditional insulation intervention measures,while the intervention group received composite insulation nursing intervention.We ob-served and recorded postoperative blood pressure and heart rate changes,as well as postoperative anesthesia recovery time and incidence of complications.RESULTS The statistical results showed significant differences(P<0.05)in heart rate changes and systolic blood pressure between the two groups.There was a sig-nificant change in heart rate between the groups immediately after surgery and at 15 and 30 minutes after surgery(P<0.05).The heart rate and systolic blood pressure of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 15 and 30 minutes after surgery(P<0.05).The rewarming time of the intervention group was shorter than that of the control group,and the overall incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION For elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery,a composite insulation intervention during the perioperative period can maintain body temperature,reduce postoperative stress,and significantly reduce the incidence of hypothermia and related complications.
文摘BACKGROUND Currently,very few studies have examined the analgesic effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia.AIM To investigate the analgesic effect and safety of dexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia.METHODS In this retrospective study,94 patients scheduled for laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia,admitted to Yiwu Central Hospital between May 2022 and May 2023,were divided into a control group(inhalation combined general anesthesia)and a treatment group(dexmedetomidine-assisted intrave-nous-inhalation combined general anesthesia).Perioperative indicators,analgesic effect,preoperative and postoperative 24-hours blood pressure(BP)and heart rate(HR),stress indicators,immune function levels,and adverse reactions were com-pared between the two groups.RESULTS Baseline data,including age,hernia location,place of residence,weight,monthly income,education level,and underlying diseases,were not significantly different between the two groups,indicating comparability(P>0.05).No significant difference was found in operation time and anesthesia time between the two groups(P>0.05).However,the treatment group exhibited a shorter postoperative urinary catheter removal time and hospital stay than the control group(P<0.05).Preoperatively,no significant differences were found in the visual analog scale(VAS)scores between the two groups(P>0.05).However,at 12,18,and 24 hours postoper-atively,the treatment group had significantly lower VAS scores than the control group(P<0.05).Although no significant differences in preoperative hemodynamic indicators were found between the two groups(P>0.05),both groups experienced some extent of changes in postoperative HR,diastolic BP(DBP),and systolic BP(SBP).Nevertheless,the treatment group showed smaller changes in HR,DBP,and SBP than the control group(P<0.05).Preoperative immune function indicators showed no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).However,postoperatively,the treatment group demonstrated higher levels of CD3+,CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+and lower levels of CD8+than the control group(P<0.05).The rates of adverse reactions were 6.38%and 23.40%in the treatment and control groups,respectively,revealing a significant difference(χ2=5.371,P=0.020).CONCLUSION Dexmedetomidine-assisted intravenous-inhalation combined general anesthesia can promote early recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for inguinal hernia.It ensures stable blood flow,improves postoperative analgesic effects,reduces postoperative pain intensity,alleviates stress response,improves immune function,facilitates anesthesia recovery,and enhances safety.

文摘BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage(AL)is a serious complication following rectal cancer surgery and is associated with increased recurrence,mortality,extended hospital stays,and delayed chemotherapy.The Onodera prognostic nutritional index(OPNI)and inflammation-related biomarkers,such as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),have been studied in the context of cancer prognosis,but their combined efficacy in predicting AL remains unclear.AIM To investigate the relationships between AL and these markers and developed a predictive model for AL.METHODS A retrospective cohort study analyzed the outcomes of 434 patients who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer at a tertiary cancer center from 2016 to 2023.The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of the occurrence of AL:One group consisted of patients who experienced AL(n=49),and the other group did not(n=385).The investigation applied logistic regression to develop a risk prediction model utilizing clinical,pathological,and laboratory data.The efficacy of this model was then evaluated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.RESULTS In the present study,11.28%of the participants(49 out of 434 participants)suffered from AL.Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative levels of the OPNI,NLR,and PLR emerged as independent risk factors for AL,with odds ratios of 0.705(95%CI:0.641-0.775,P=0.012),1.628(95%CI:1.221-2.172,P=0.024),and 0.994(95%CI:0.989-0.999,P=0.031),respectively.These findings suggest that these biomarkers could effectively predict AL risk.Furthermore,the proposed predictive model has superior discriminative ability,as demonstrated by an area under the curve of 0.910,a sensitivity of 0.898,and a specificity of 0.826,reflecting its high level of accuracy.CONCLUSION The risk of AL in rectal cancer surgery patients can be effectively predicted by assessing the preoperative levels of serum nutritional biomarkers and inflammatory indicators,emphasizing their importance in the preoperative evaluation process.
