METHODS:A total of 1639 patients who underwent radical or palliative gastrectomies for gastric cancer were included in the study.The study endpoint was the analysis of postoperative complications in inpatients. RESULTS:About 31%of patients had early postoperative complications,and complications of infection occurred most frequently.Intra-abdominal hemorrhage and anastomotic leak were the main causes of reoperation,which accounted for about 2.2%.Mortality was 11.1%in the reoperation group,but was only 0.8%in other patients.The duration of postoperative stay in hospital was significantly longer and the total expenditure was markedly higher in the patients who underwent reoperation(P<0.001).There was no significant association of any available factors in this study with the high rate of reoperation.CONCLUSION:Reoperation significantly increases the mortality rate and raises the burden of the surgical unit.More prospective studies are required to explore the potential risk factors.展开更多

A retrospective analysis was proceeded by comparing the general information, surgery performance, pathologic data, postoperative recovery and complications as well as long-term survival to investigate the diversity of immediate and long-term clinical outcomes of laparoscopic radical operation.RESULTS: There were no statistically significance differences between gender, age, height, weight, body mass index(BMI), tumor loci, tumor node metastasis stages, cell differentiation degree or American Society of Anesthesiologists scores of the patients(P > 0.05). In contrast to the ORR group, the LRR group experienced less operating time(P < 0.001), a lower blood loss(P < 0.001), and had a 2.44% probability of conversion to open surgery. Postoperative bowel function recovered more quickly, analgesic usage and the average hospital stay(P < 0.001) were reduced after LRR. Lymph node dissection during LRR appeared to be slightly more than in ORR(P = 0.338). There were no obvious differences in the lengths and margins(P = 0.182). And the occurrence rate in the two groups was similar(P = 0.081). Overall survival rate of ORR and LRR for 1, 3 and 5 years were 94.0% and 93.6%(P = 0.534), 78.1% and 80.9%(P = 0.284) and 75.2% and 77.0%(P = 0.416), respectively.CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy as a radical operation for rectal cancer was safe, produced better immediate outcomes. Long-term survival of laparoscopy revealed that it was similar to the open operation.展开更多

Methods： The data of 1,790 consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed. These patients underwent VATS pulmonary resections, VATS esophagectomies, and VATS resections of mediastinal tumors or biopsies at the Cancer Institute ＆ Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2009 and January 2012. Results： There were 33 patients converted to open thoracotomy （OT, 1.84%）. The overall morbidity and mortality rate was 2.79% （50/1790） and 0.28% （5/1790）, respectively. The overall hospitalization and chest tube duration were shorter in the VATS lobectomy group （n=949） than in the open thoracotomy （OT） lobectomy group （n=753）. There were no significant differences in morbidity rate, mortality rate and operation time between the two groups. In the esophageal cancer patients, no significant difference was found in the number of nodal dissection, chest tube duration, morbidity rate, mortality rate, and hospital length of stay between the VATS esophagectomy group （n=8 1） and open esophagectomy group （n=81）. However, the operation time was longer in the VATS esophagectomy group. In the thymoma patients, there was no significant difference in the chest tube duration, morbidity rate, mortality rate, and hospital length of stay between the VATS thymectomy group （n=41） and open thymectomy group （n=41）. However, the operation time was longer in the VATS group. The median tumor size in the VATS thymectomy group was comparable with that in the OT group. Conclusions： In early-stage （Ⅰ/Ⅱ） non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomies, VATS is comparable with the OT approach with similar short-term outcomes. In patients with resectable esophageal cancer, VATS esophagectomy is comparable with OT esophagectomy with similar morbidity and mortality. VATS thymectomy for Masaoka stage I and II thymoma is feasible and safe, and tumor size is not contraindicated. Longer follow-ups are needed to determine the oncologic equivalency of VATS lobectomy, esophagectomy, and thymectomy for thymoma vs. OT.展开更多

METHODS Data of 306 consecutive patients undergoing VATS pulmonary resection between January 2009 and August 2010 in Cancer Institute ＆ Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS There were 7 patients who underwent open thoracotomy, accounting for 2.29% （7/306）. The overall morbidity rate of complications and the mortality rate induced by VATS was 1.63% （5/306） and 0.33% （1/306）, respectively. There were no significant differences in morbidity and mortality rate between the patients receiving the VATS and the patients receiving the OT. The overall hospitalization, postoperative length of stay （LOS） and chest tube duration in the VATS lobectomy group （n = 167） were shorter than those in the open thoracotomy （OT）, but the operative time in the VATS group was longer than that in the OT group （n = 124）. There were no significant differences in the number of station of lymph nodal dissection （LND） and number of LND in pathological stage I between VATS group and OT group, but significant differences were found in the number of station of LND and the number of LND in pathological stage II and stage IIIA between the 2 groups. Compared with those who underwent OT wedge resection （n = 72）, the patients who underwent VATS wedge resection （n = 108） had shorter operative time, chest tube duration and hospital LOS, and there were no significant differences in morbidity of the complications and mortality between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION VATS lobectomy can be performed for patients with clinical stage I lung cancer （with tumor diameter smaller than 5 cm, without hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement）. VATS lobectomy is superior to OT lobectomy in short-term outcomes, although further studies exploring long-term outcomes through longer follow-up is needed to determine the oncologic equivalency between the VATS and the open lobectomy. VATS is also superior to OT in pulmonary wedge resection.展开更多

Materials and Methods: This was an observational study with retrolective data collection. All patients who underwent laparoscopy for infertility with a complete file were recruited. Data were collected on a pre-established form and analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2007 software. Results: Six hundred and thirty-three women, representing 6.9% of gynecologic operations, underwent laparoscopic surgery during the study period. Infertility accounted for 69.8% (442 cases) of the indications. Four hundred and fifteen files were analyzed. The commonest intraoperative findings were: tubo-peritoneal adhesions (71.6%), hydrosalpinx with distal tubal occlusion (41.5%), peri-hepatic adhesions (22.4%), uterine fibroids (20.2%) and tubal phimosis (14.0%). Adhesiolysis, neosalpingostomy and fimbrioplasty were the commonest surgical gestures. At the end of the procedure, the best tube was staged as favorable in 57.6% of our patients. A complication rate of 4.3% was observed. Conclusion: Infertility is the main indication for laparoscopic surgery in our setting. The main operative findings are tubo-peritoneal adhesions and hydrosalpinx. The most practiced tubal surgical gesture is neosalpingostomy. Half of the recruited women have a favorable stage for the best tube. The complication rate is low.展开更多

We planned tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) surgery after curing mucosal defects and completing treatment for diabetes mellitus. Anuria and pyelonephritis relapsed repeatedly due to the failure of ring pessary therapy. Surgical treatment was required emergently. We performed a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and uterosacral ligament colpo-suspension (Shull’s method). Although the vaginal apex was supported to a good position, cystocele occurred six months after the initial surgery. A TVM procedure for recurrent cystocele was performed after curing the mucosal defects, and after the improvement of glycemic control. Transvaginal native tissue repair has the advantages of low risk of ureter injury, firm colpo-suspension, and no need for mesh usage. On the other hand, it is not good at treating cystocele. Transvaginal native tissue repair should prove to be a useful surgical option for apical support without mesh.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

According to the different surgical treatment methods, they were divided into the study group and the control group, each group with 32 cases. The study group was treated with single-operation-hole thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection, and the control group was treated with conventional multi-operation-holes thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results: The postoperative drainage time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, postoperative drainage volume and hospitalization cost of the study group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the duration of operation and the incidence of adverse reactions (such as postoperative pulmonary atelectasis and pulmonary infection) (P>0.05). There was no difference in lung function between the two groups before operation (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the lung function indexes of the postoperative study group were significantly improved (P<0.05). There was no difference in the overall survival rate and tumor-free survival rate of the two groups after operation for half a year (P>0.05). The VAS scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group on the 1st and 3rd day after operation (P<0.05). There was no difference in the quality of life between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05), but the overall health status, physiological feature, physiological function, physical pain and energy of the patients in the study group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in social function, emotional function and mental health (P>0.05).Conclusions: Single-operation-hole thoracoscopic surgery is effective in the treatment of elderly solitary pulmonary nodules. It can not only accelerate the recovery of patients but also improve their lung function, without affecting the prognosis of patients, which can improve their quality of life. It is worthy of clinical application, but should strictly control the indications for surgery.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Surgery is the first choice of treatment for patients with colorectal cancer.Traditional open surgery imparts great damage to the body of the patient and can easily cause adverse stress reactions.With the continuous development of medical technology,laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has shown great advantages for the treatment of patients with celiac disease.AIM To investigate the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic radical surgery and traditional laparotomy for the treatment of colorectal cancer,and the differences in the risk analysis of unplanned reoperation after operation.METHODS As the research subjects,this study selected 100 patients with colorectal cancer who received surgical treatment at the Yulin First Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022.Among them,50 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection were selected as the research group and 50 patients who underwent traditional laparotomy were selected as the control group.Data pertaining to clinical indexes,gastrointestinal hormones,nutrition indexes,the levels of inflammatory factors,quality of life,Visual Analog Scale score,and the postoperative complications of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were collected,and the therapeutic effects in the two groups were analyzed and compared.RESULTS Compared with the control group,perioperative bleeding,peristalsis recovery time,and hospital stays were significantly shorter in the research group.After surgery,the levels of gastrin(GAS)and motilin(MTL)were decreased in both groups,and the fluctuation range of GAS and MTL observed in the research group was significantly lower than that recorded in the control group.The hemoglobin(Hb)levels increased after surgery,and the level of Hb in the research group was significantly higher compared with the control group.After the operation,the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-6,and C-reactive protein and the total incidence of complications were significantly lower in the research group compared with the control group.One year after the operation,the quality of life of the two groups was greatly improved,with the quality of life in the research group being significantly better.CONCLUSION Laparoscopy was effective for colorectal surgery by reducing the occurrence of complications and inflammatory stress reaction;moreover,the quality of life of patients was significantly improved,which warrants further promotion.
文摘AIM:To investigate the occurrence of postoperative complications of gastric cancer surgery,and analyze the potential causes of reoperation for early postoperative complications. METHODS:A total of 1639 patients who underwent radical or palliative gastrectomies for gastric cancer were included in the study.The study endpoint was the analysis of postoperative complications in inpatients. RESULTS:About 31%of patients had early postoperative complications,and complications of infection occurred most frequently.Intra-abdominal hemorrhage and anastomotic leak were the main causes of reoperation,which accounted for about 2.2%.Mortality was 11.1%in the reoperation group,but was only 0.8%in other patients.The duration of postoperative stay in hospital was significantly longer and the total expenditure was markedly higher in the patients who underwent reoperation(P<0.001).There was no significant association of any available factors in this study with the high rate of reoperation.CONCLUSION:Reoperation significantly increases the mortality rate and raises the burden of the surgical unit.More prospective studies are required to explore the potential risk factors.

文摘AIM: To assess the diverse immediate and longterm clinical outcomes, a retrospective comparison between laparoscopic and conventional operation was performed.METHODS: A total number of 916 clinical cases, from January 2006 to December 2013 in our hospital, were analyzed which covered 492 patients underwent the laparoscopy in radical resection(LRR) and 424 cases in open radical resection(ORR). A retrospective analysis was proceeded by comparing the general information, surgery performance, pathologic data, postoperative recovery and complications as well as long-term survival to investigate the diversity of immediate and long-term clinical outcomes of laparoscopic radical operation.RESULTS: There were no statistically significance differences between gender, age, height, weight, body mass index(BMI), tumor loci, tumor node metastasis stages, cell differentiation degree or American Society of Anesthesiologists scores of the patients(P > 0.05). In contrast to the ORR group, the LRR group experienced less operating time(P < 0.001), a lower blood loss(P < 0.001), and had a 2.44% probability of conversion to open surgery. Postoperative bowel function recovered more quickly, analgesic usage and the average hospital stay(P < 0.001) were reduced after LRR. Lymph node dissection during LRR appeared to be slightly more than in ORR(P = 0.338). There were no obvious differences in the lengths and margins(P = 0.182). And the occurrence rate in the two groups was similar(P = 0.081). Overall survival rate of ORR and LRR for 1, 3 and 5 years were 94.0% and 93.6%(P = 0.534), 78.1% and 80.9%(P = 0.284) and 75.2% and 77.0%(P = 0.416), respectively.CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy as a radical operation for rectal cancer was safe, produced better immediate outcomes. Long-term survival of laparoscopy revealed that it was similar to the open operation.
文摘Objective： To evaluate the short-term outcomes of video-assisted thoracic surgery （VATS） for thoracic tumors. Methods： The data of 1,790 consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed. These patients underwent VATS pulmonary resections, VATS esophagectomies, and VATS resections of mediastinal tumors or biopsies at the Cancer Institute ＆ Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2009 and January 2012. Results： There were 33 patients converted to open thoracotomy （OT, 1.84%）. The overall morbidity and mortality rate was 2.79% （50/1790） and 0.28% （5/1790）, respectively. The overall hospitalization and chest tube duration were shorter in the VATS lobectomy group （n=949） than in the open thoracotomy （OT） lobectomy group （n=753）. There were no significant differences in morbidity rate, mortality rate and operation time between the two groups. In the esophageal cancer patients, no significant difference was found in the number of nodal dissection, chest tube duration, morbidity rate, mortality rate, and hospital length of stay between the VATS esophagectomy group （n=8 1） and open esophagectomy group （n=81）. However, the operation time was longer in the VATS esophagectomy group. In the thymoma patients, there was no significant difference in the chest tube duration, morbidity rate, mortality rate, and hospital length of stay between the VATS thymectomy group （n=41） and open thymectomy group （n=41）. However, the operation time was longer in the VATS group. The median tumor size in the VATS thymectomy group was comparable with that in the OT group. Conclusions： In early-stage （Ⅰ/Ⅱ） non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomies, VATS is comparable with the OT approach with similar short-term outcomes. In patients with resectable esophageal cancer, VATS esophagectomy is comparable with OT esophagectomy with similar morbidity and mortality. VATS thymectomy for Masaoka stage I and II thymoma is feasible and safe, and tumor size is not contraindicated. Longer follow-ups are needed to determine the oncologic equivalency of VATS lobectomy, esophagectomy, and thymectomy for thymoma vs. OT.
文摘OBJECTIVE To evaluate the indication and short-term outcomes of video assisted thoracic surgery （VATS） for lung tumors. METHODS Data of 306 consecutive patients undergoing VATS pulmonary resection between January 2009 and August 2010 in Cancer Institute ＆ Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS There were 7 patients who underwent open thoracotomy, accounting for 2.29% （7/306）. The overall morbidity rate of complications and the mortality rate induced by VATS was 1.63% （5/306） and 0.33% （1/306）, respectively. There were no significant differences in morbidity and mortality rate between the patients receiving the VATS and the patients receiving the OT. The overall hospitalization, postoperative length of stay （LOS） and chest tube duration in the VATS lobectomy group （n = 167） were shorter than those in the open thoracotomy （OT）, but the operative time in the VATS group was longer than that in the OT group （n = 124）. There were no significant differences in the number of station of lymph nodal dissection （LND） and number of LND in pathological stage I between VATS group and OT group, but significant differences were found in the number of station of LND and the number of LND in pathological stage II and stage IIIA between the 2 groups. Compared with those who underwent OT wedge resection （n = 72）, the patients who underwent VATS wedge resection （n = 108） had shorter operative time, chest tube duration and hospital LOS, and there were no significant differences in morbidity of the complications and mortality between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION VATS lobectomy can be performed for patients with clinical stage I lung cancer （with tumor diameter smaller than 5 cm, without hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement）. VATS lobectomy is superior to OT lobectomy in short-term outcomes, although further studies exploring long-term outcomes through longer follow-up is needed to determine the oncologic equivalency between the VATS and the open lobectomy. VATS is also superior to OT in pulmonary wedge resection.
文摘BACKGROUND With advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases,lung segment surgery has become increasingly common.Postoperative rehabilitation is critical for patient recovery,yet challenges such as complications and adverse outcomes persist.Incorporating humanized nursing modes and novel treatments like nitric oxide inhalation may enhance recovery and reduce postoperative complications.AIM To evaluate the effects of a humanized nursing mode combined with nitric oxide inhalation on the rehabilitation outcomes of patients undergoing lung surgery,focusing on pulmonary function,recovery speed,and overall treatment costs.METHODS A total of 79 patients who underwent lung surgery at a tertiary hospital from March 2021 to December 2021 were divided into a control group(n=39)receiving a routine nursing program and an experimental group(n=40)receiving additional humanized nursing interventions and atomized inhalation of nitric oxide.Key indicators were compared between the two groups alongside an analysis of treatment costs.RESULTS The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in pulmonary function,reduced average recovery time,and lower total treatment costs compared to the control group.Moreover,the quality of life in the experimental group was significantly better in the 3 months post-surgery,indicating a more effective rehabilitation process.CONCLUSION The combination of humanized nursing mode and nitric oxide inhalation in postoperative care for lung surgery patients significantly enhances pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes,accelerates recovery,and reduces economic burden.This approach offers a promising reference for improving patient care and rehabilitation efficiency following lung surgery.
文摘Objective: To describe the practice of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of infertility at the Yaoundé Gyneco-Obstetrics and Pediatric Hospital. Materials and Methods: This was an observational study with retrolective data collection. All patients who underwent laparoscopy for infertility with a complete file were recruited. Data were collected on a pre-established form and analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2007 software. Results: Six hundred and thirty-three women, representing 6.9% of gynecologic operations, underwent laparoscopic surgery during the study period. Infertility accounted for 69.8% (442 cases) of the indications. Four hundred and fifteen files were analyzed. The commonest intraoperative findings were: tubo-peritoneal adhesions (71.6%), hydrosalpinx with distal tubal occlusion (41.5%), peri-hepatic adhesions (22.4%), uterine fibroids (20.2%) and tubal phimosis (14.0%). Adhesiolysis, neosalpingostomy and fimbrioplasty were the commonest surgical gestures. At the end of the procedure, the best tube was staged as favorable in 57.6% of our patients. A complication rate of 4.3% was observed. Conclusion: Infertility is the main indication for laparoscopic surgery in our setting. The main operative findings are tubo-peritoneal adhesions and hydrosalpinx. The most practiced tubal surgical gesture is neosalpingostomy. Half of the recruited women have a favorable stage for the best tube. The complication rate is low.
文摘A 75-year-old woman complained of anuria and a sense of discomfort with severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We planned tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) surgery after curing mucosal defects and completing treatment for diabetes mellitus. Anuria and pyelonephritis relapsed repeatedly due to the failure of ring pessary therapy. Surgical treatment was required emergently. We performed a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and uterosacral ligament colpo-suspension (Shull’s method). Although the vaginal apex was supported to a good position, cystocele occurred six months after the initial surgery. A TVM procedure for recurrent cystocele was performed after curing the mucosal defects, and after the improvement of glycemic control. Transvaginal native tissue repair has the advantages of low risk of ureter injury, firm colpo-suspension, and no need for mesh usage. On the other hand, it is not good at treating cystocele. Transvaginal native tissue repair should prove to be a useful surgical option for apical support without mesh.
文摘Objective:To explore the application effect of the Eyesi surgical simulator in the teaching of cataract surgery for professional ophthalmology postgraduate students.Methods:The professional postgraduate students who were trained in the third year of ophthalmology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University were selected as the research objects.After passing the theoretical examination,they were randomly divided into the pig eyeball group,Eyesi group,and pig eye+Eyesi group,with 5 students in each group.The pig eyeball,Eyesi surgery simulator,and pig eye+Eyesi surgery simulator were used for microscopic technique operation and cataract surgery steps training,respectively.After the training,the overall training effects of the three groups of postgraduates were scored,and questionnaires were used to objectively evaluate the three training methods.Results:The scores of the students in the pig eye+Eyesi group were better than those in the Eyesi group,and the students in the Eyesi group were better than those in the pig eyeball group.Conclusion:The Eyesi surgical simulation training system can evaluate the microsurgical skills of professional masters and improve their surgical skills.This system is of great significance for the training of the cataract surgery skills of professional masters.
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:Parents of children with complex right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT)anomalies are confronted with their child’s need for heart surgery early in life and repeated reoperations later on.Preoperative assessment needs to be performed whenever an indication for reoperation is suspected.The aim was to illuminate the experiences of parents of children diagnosed with RVOT anomalies,in particular,how they experience their child’s heart disease and everyday life during the assessment and after the decision on whether to perform a reoperation.Method:Individual interviews(n=27)were conducted with nine parents on three occasions between 2014 and 2016 and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.Results:The analysis resulted in the following five main coexisting themes:The heart surgery keeps my child alive illuminates parents’experiences during and after the assessment and emphasizes that heart surgery,although dreaded,is central for their child’s survival;Everyday struggles illuminates the different struggles parents had to face to ensure that their child would be in the best possible condition;the remaining three themes,Unconditional love,Trust in life,and Togetherness,illuminate the ways in which the parents gained inner strength and confidence in their everyday lives.Conclusion:Although the parents were grateful for the assessment and had learned to navigate among the fears it aroused,they experienced several distressing situations during the assessment process that should be addressed.By inviting both the parents and their child to participate in the child’s care,individualized support can take into account the needs of both parents and child.
文摘Objective:To investigate the effect of single-operation-hole thoracoscopic surgery on elderly solitary pulmonary nodules and its effects on lung function and prognosis.Methods:64 patients with solitary pulmonary nodules admitted to our hospital were selected. According to the different surgical treatment methods, they were divided into the study group and the control group, each group with 32 cases. The study group was treated with single-operation-hole thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection, and the control group was treated with conventional multi-operation-holes thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results: The postoperative drainage time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, postoperative drainage volume and hospitalization cost of the study group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the duration of operation and the incidence of adverse reactions (such as postoperative pulmonary atelectasis and pulmonary infection) (P>0.05). There was no difference in lung function between the two groups before operation (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the lung function indexes of the postoperative study group were significantly improved (P<0.05). There was no difference in the overall survival rate and tumor-free survival rate of the two groups after operation for half a year (P>0.05). The VAS scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group on the 1st and 3rd day after operation (P<0.05). There was no difference in the quality of life between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05), but the overall health status, physiological feature, physiological function, physical pain and energy of the patients in the study group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in social function, emotional function and mental health (P>0.05).Conclusions: Single-operation-hole thoracoscopic surgery is effective in the treatment of elderly solitary pulmonary nodules. It can not only accelerate the recovery of patients but also improve their lung function, without affecting the prognosis of patients, which can improve their quality of life. It is worthy of clinical application, but should strictly control the indications for surgery.
