ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate three different methods for controlling presacral massive bleeding during pelvic operations.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 11 patients with presacral massive bleeding during pelvic operation at The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and 157 Branch Hospital of Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command from January 2001 to January 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Hemostasis methods for presacral massive bleeding during operation included gauze packing (whole pressure), drawing pin (local pressure) and absorbable gauze (absorbable gauze was adhered to bleeding position with medical glue after local pressure). Efficacy of these 3 methods for controlling bleeding was evaluated and compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Ten patients were male and 1 was female with average age of 65.2 (40 to 79) years old. Eight cases were rectal cancer, 2 were presacral malignancies and 1 was rectal benign lesion. Bleeding volume during operation was 300 to 2 500 (median 800) ml. From 2001 to 2012, 4 cases received gauze packing, of whom, 3 cases were scheduled Dixon resection before operation and then had to be referred to Hartman resection; 3 cases died of systemic failure due to postoperative chronic errhysis and infection, and 1 underwent re-operation. At the same time from 2001 to 2012, 5 cases received drawing pin, of whom, bleeding of 3 cases was successfully controlled and Dixon resection was completed. In other 2 cases with hemostasis failure, 1 case underwent re-operation following the use of gauze packing, and another 1 case received absorbable gauze hemostasis. All the 5 patients were healing. From 2013 to 2016, 2 cases completed scheduled anterior resection of rectum after successful hemostasis with absorbable gauze and were healing and discharged.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Gauze packing hemostasis is a basic method for controlling presacral massive bleeding. Drawing pin and absorbable gauze hemostasis are more precise and may avoid the change of surgical procedure. But drawing pin has the possibility of hemostasis failure. Absorbable gauze hemostasis with medical adhesive is effective, simple and fast.</p>
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of preoperative colonoscopy for patients with benign anal diseases,and to compare the success rates of examination done by sedated colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy.Methods The clinical data of 333 patients with benign anal disease who received preoperative colonoscopy at the Six Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from April 2010 to March 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were divided into the lesion group (120 patients) and normal group (213 patients)according to the results of colonoscopy.The measurement data and count data were analyzed using the t test and chi-square test,respectively.Results The age of patients in the lesion group was (48 ± 14) years,which was significantly older than (42 ± 14) years (t =3.75,P ＜ 0.05).The constituent ratio of patients older than 40 years in the lesion group was 72.50％ (87/120),which was significantly higher than 39.44％ (84/213) in the normal group (x2=33.59,P ＜0.05).The proportions of male and female patients were 71.67％ (86/120) and 28.33％ (34/120) in the lesion group,and 62.44％ (133/213) and 37.56％ (80/213) in the normal group,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =2.90,P ＞ 0.05).The benign anal diseases in the lesion group included polyp (80 cases),enteritis (30 cases),malignant tumor (7 cases),infflammatory bowel disease (7 cases),diverticulum (5 cases) and ulcer (1 case).The application rates of sedated colonoscopy in the lesion group and the normal goup were 51.67％ (62/120) and 54.93％ (117/213),respectively,with no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=0.33,P ＞0.05).The success rate of terminal ileum intubation was 99.44％ (178/179) in patients who received sedated colonoscopy,which was significantly higher than 95.45％ (147/154) of patients who received conventional colonoscopy (x2 =5.61,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Patients with benign anal disease might complicated with colorectal lesions,and sedated colonoscopy is recommended for preoperative diagnosis,especially for patients who are older than 40 years.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the function of colonic mucosal barrier of patients with colonic slow transit constipation (STC).Methods From June 2008 to June 2012,a total of 136 patients with STC were enrolled.Among them,course of disease of 55 cases was between one and six years,of 43 cases was between six and 10 years,and of 38 cases was over 10 years.The colonic transit time of 66 cases was between three and five days,of 42 cases was between five and seven days,and of 28 cases was over seven days.Altogether,35 cases received subtotal resection of the colon.At same time,individuals who received partial resection of the colon because of single polypus were set as control group.Fasting blood and urine samples of all subjects were collected.The colonic specimens of STC patients who received surgery and control group were harvested.The urinary lactulose and mannitol ratio (L/M) was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The level of blood Dlactic acid (D-LAC) was tested by enzymatic spectrophotometric.The level of blood diamine oxidase (DAO) was determined by speetrophotometry.The level of endotoxin (ET) was detected by azo chromogenic substrate limulus test.The colonic epithelial cells membrane resistance (TER) and paracellular mannitol permeability (PMP) were measured with Ussing perfusion chamber.t-test was performed for comparison between groups.Results Urinary L/M of STC group and control group was 0.16±0.03 and 0.10±0.02,respectively.The level of blood D-LAC was (1.81±0.19) and (1.04±0.13) mmol/L.The level of blood DAO was (17.07±1.81) and (9.78±1.14) U/L.The level of blood ET was (64.20±6.85) and (51.30±5.90) EU/L.The TER of colonic epithelia cell was (61.23±7.76) and (75.87±9.65) Ω/cm2.The PMP of colonic epithelia cell was (3.17±0.35) ％ and (2.14 ±0.22)％.All the differences were statistically significant (t =3.185,3.378,3.863,3.201,3.125 and 3.543,all P＜0.05).Among patients with disease course between one and six years,six to 10 years and over 10 years,colonic transit time of STC between three and five days,five to seven days and over seven days,urinary L/M,blood D-LAC level and blood DAO level increased along with the disease course and colonic transit time and the differences were statistical significantly compared with control group (urinary L/M:t=1.993,2.311,2.356,2.204,2.347 and 3.673; blood D-LAC level:t=2.023,2.886,4.124,1.999,2.998 and 3.465; blood DAO level:t=1.994,2.995,4.423,2.203,3.673 and 5.211; all P＜0.05).Compared with control group,there were significant differences in blood ET level of course of STC between six and 10 years,over 10 years,colonic transit time of STC between five and seven days and over seven days (t=2.121,4.245,3.241 and 4.657,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The permeability of colonic mucosal barrier increased and which was more significant in longer colonic transit time and long course of disease.
ABSTRACT
0.05).Conclusions There are no significant preoperative gut mucosal barrier function damages in patients with 1 d and 3 d bowel preparation for colorectal carcinoma surgery,1 d bowel preparation for colorectal carcinoma surgery can be performed in colorectal carcinoma patients,and 3 d bowel preparation can be used for certain special colorectal carcinoma patients.
