ABSTRACT
@#Surgery is a classic traditional method for the treatment of early-stage esophageal cancer, and it is also recognized as an effective first-choice method in the medical community. With the development of endoscopic technology, esophagus-preserving comprehensive treatment of esophageal cancer has almost the same or even better effects in some aspects in the treatment of early esophageal cancer than surgery. Many clinical guidelines have also recommended it as the first-choice treatment for early esophageal cancer. The room for surgical treatment of esophageal cancer has been further compressed. This article discusses the comprehensive treatment model of esophageal cancer from the perspective of thoracic surgery, aiming to find a new position of thoracic surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective:The extensive development of anatomical pulnonary segmentectomy requires thoracic surgeons to be familiar with the anatomical variations of the lung segment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the anatomical patterns of the right upper lobe lung segment using three-dimensional reconstruction, and to count rare variant types.Methods:From October 2017 to March 2020, 101 patients with small pulmonary nodules who were undergo segmental resection in our center were subjected to preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction of the lung structure, and the reconstruction data was retained for the statistics and analysis of the anatomical structure in the right upper lung lobe.Results:The right upper lobe bronchus is the most common with three branches(77/101), followed by two branches(16/101) and four branches(7/101). The two branches(70/101) of the right upper lobe pulmonary artery are the most common, followed by single branch(19/101) and three branches(11/101). In rare cases, four branches(1/101 cases) can be seen. The two branches(63/101) of the right upper pulmonary vein were the most common, followed by three branches(32/101) and single branch(6/101). In addition, a total of 12 rare mutations were counted. There were 2 variants in the bronchus, totaling 2 cases; 4 rare variants in the pulmonary artery, 13 cases total; 6 rare variants in the pulmonary vein, 10 cases total.Conclusion:The lung anatomy is complex and has many variations. The surgeon should fully grasp the anatomical structure of the lung segment of the patient's operating area before surgery, the data in this article will be a valuable reference for thoracic surgeons to carry out the upper right lobe segmentectomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application of panning axial turnover in placement of surgical positions before thoracic surgery. Methods From June 2017 to September 2017, altogether 140 patients who underwent thoracic surgery were enrolled in and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group. The control group was treated with traditional turnover method, while the observation group were treated with axial turnover. Results No significant changes were found in blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate (P>0.05) after turning over. There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group about turn over time, (7.06 ± 0.78)s vs. (7.01±0.81)s (P>0.05). The subjective evaluation results of the medical staff in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (Z=-7.111, P<0.01) and the shift rate of double-lumen endotracheal tube in the observation group was 3.7% (2/54), which was significantly lower than 21.6% (11/51) of the control group (χ2=6.158, P<0.05). Conclusions The panning axial turnover properly guided the turn-over work with the principle of human body mechanics, which was more labor-saving and requires less operators. Besides, the panning axial turnover effectively reduced the double- lumen tracheal intubation shift rate. It′s worthy of clinical promotion.
