ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the feasibility of laparoscopic simple oblique side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy in treating congenital annular pancreas in neonates.Methods Medical records of neonates with the diagnosis of congenital annular pancreas undergoing laparoscopic simple oblique side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy at Huai'an Women and Children's Hospital from January 2015 to May 2017 were reviewed.The age ranged from 1 d to 4d with a median age of 2d at operation.The body weight at operation was 2.5-3.5 kg with a mean of 3.1 kg.By a lower-pressure pneumoperitoneum of 5-8 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) and a suspending suture for liver elevator,the procedure was performed using 4 ports.A transumbilical 5-mm port was for the laparoscopy and 3 3-mm trocars were placed for inserting instruments.The diagnosis was made after laparoscopic exploration,and then the distal duodenum was incised longitudinally 0.5-1 cm away from the annular pancreas,the proximal duodenum was incised O.5 cm away from the annular pancreas obliquely.The duodenoduodenostomy was performed as a "simple oblique" side-to-side anastomosis with 5-0 PDS running suture.Results All the 6 cases were treated by laparoscopic simple oblique side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy.Three of cases were annular pancreas complicated with congenital intestinal malrotation,and Ladd's procedure was accomplished in the mean time.The average operative time was 98 min (70-120 min).The blood loss during operation was 3-10 ml.Fluid diet started on postoperative day 3 to 7 (mean 4.5 d),without abdominal distention and vomit,and all the cases were discharged uneventfully in a median of 7-14 (mean 9 d) postoperative day without any postoperative complications.No cases were transferred to open abdominal surgery,and there were no intraoperative and postoperatuve adverse events.The cases were followed-up for 1-30 months (mean 13 months),and all the cases grew well without intestinal obstruction.Conclusions The laparoscopic simple oblique duodenoduodenostomy in treating congenital annular pancreas was conveniently performed,the intestinal function recovered quickly,which can be safely done in neonatal period even if the neonate was complicated with congenital intestinal malrotation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the causes of repeated operations in patients with biliary diseases.Methods The clinical data of 265 patients who received repeated operations at the Jinshan Branch of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2005 to June 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The causes of repeated operations were analyzed. The first reoperation aimed at removing the calculi completely,repairing the injured biliary ducts and managing malignant tumors. The primary surgical procesures of the first reoperation included choledochotomy + T tube drainage,choledochotomy + Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy,endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography + endoscopic sphincterotomy,choledochotomy + hepatectomy + T tube drainage or Rouxen-Y choledochojejunostomy,choledochotomy + biliary-endo-drainage,end-to-end anastomosis of bile duct + T tube drainage,radical or palliative resection of tumor,endoscopic biliary stent drainage or exploratory laparotomy.The second and multiple reoperations aimed at reconstructing the passage for biliary drainage. All data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results A total of 69.8％ (120/172) of patients who had recurrent or retained calculi received first reoperation,which was significantly higher than 31.2％ ( 29/93 ) of those who received second or multiple reoperations (x2 =36.51,P ＜ 0.05 ).A total of 58.1％ (54/93) of patients who had benign stenosis of bilioenteric anastomosis received multiple reoperations,which was significantly higher than 4.1％ (7/172) than those who received first reoperation (x2 ＝ 99.32,P ＜ 0.05 ).Of the 265 patients,46 had complications.The incidence of complications of patients who receive first reoperation was 10.5％ ( 18/172),which was significantly lower than 30.1％ (28/93) of patients who received second or multiple reoperations ( x2 =13.61,P ＜ 0.05 ).Six patients died of hemorrhagic shock or multiple organ syndrome dysfunction postoperatively.The mortality rates for patients who received first reoperation and second or multiple reoperations were 1.7％(3/172) and 3.2％ (3/93),respectively,with no significant difference ( x2 ＝ 0.59,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions The causes for reoperation of biliary disease are muhifactorial.Full assessment of the status of biliary diseases and ample preperation preoperatively,careful operation and precise and rational selection of operative procedures are keys to decrease the reoperative rates and perioperative complications.
ABSTRACT
Twelve cases of colon carcinoid were treated by laparoscopic resection combined with colonoscopy from January 2003 to November 2009 in the First Huai'an Hospital. The tumors presented as submucosal lesions in colonoscopy with the size of 1.5 - 3.0 cm in diameter, which were difficult to be found by laparoscopy. All tumors were locally resected under laparoscopy with the assistance of colonoscopy successfully. Patients were followed up for 6 - 72 months, one case died 30 months after operation due to liver metastases. Colon carcinoid tumors with diameter from 1.5 - 3.0 cm often have muscular invasion and lymph node metastasis. The results indicate that laparoscopic resection combined with colonoscopy is a safe and effective procedure for colon carcinoid tumor.
ABSTRACT
Clinical data of 14 patients with iatrogenic duodenal injuries treated in hospital from January 2000 and January 2010 were retrospectively reviewed.Iatrogenic duodenal injuries were found intraoperatively in 9 cases,in whom repair or additional jejunostomy was performed and all were cured and discharged.In 2 patients the duodenal injuries were found within 24 hours postoperatively,1 was cured,another had low flow duodenal fistula and cured with conservative treatment.Duodenal bypass and extraoral drainage were performed in 2 patients whose duodenal injuries was found 72 hours after surgery and died from severe infection of retroperitoneal space and multiple organ failure respectively.One patient whose duodenal injury was found 7 d postoperatively suffered from septic shock and died in 4 h after admission.The results suggest that early detection and early management would result in satisfied outcome for patients with iatrogenic duodenal injuries,the first 24 hours are crucial.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore etiological factors, clinical characteristic and diagnosis of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). Methods Clinical data of 68 patients with ARP from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Results Among 532 acute pancreatitis (AP) cases, 68 were diagnosed as ARP ( 12.8% ). The majority of ARP patients were male, amounting 76.5% of the total. The average age of ARP patients was 45.6 years. Cholelithiasis, hyperlipemia and alcohol were the most frequent factors causing ARP. Among the 68 ARP cases, 58 cases were mild (85.3%) and 10 cases were severe ( 14. 7% ). 54 cases underwent surgery or endoscopic treatment (79.4%) while 14 cases underwent non-operative treatment (20.6%). As a result, 66 cases were cured or improved and 2 cases with severe ARP died. Conclusion The key to reduce recurrent rate of ARP is to find out the causes of recurrence and then treat the diseases accordingly.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of succus entericus reinfusion with continuous enteral nutrition on the barrier function of intestinal mucosa and nutritional status in patients with stomal type fistulas. Methods Sixteen patients with stomal type fistula from July 1995 to May 2008 were enrolled in the study. A]l patients met the following conditions: gut function returned normal; abdominal infection was controlled; total enteral nutrition was provided ; and the length of small intestine for succus entericus reinfusion was more than 50 cm. Intestinal mucosa was taken at 25 to 30 cm away from stoma of fistula by endoscope 0, 7, and 14 days after reinfusior. Hematoxylineosin staining was performed to count the number of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IIELS). In addition,proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was measured with immunohistochemical staining. Serum protein levels were determined by immunonephelometry. ResultsThe percentage of IIELS in intestinal mucosa ( 19.06％ ±4.81％ vs. 12.81％ ±2.95％, P=0.000) and the percentage of PCNA positive cells ( 12.13％ ±4.33％ vs.6.44％ ± 2.34％, P =0.000) 14 days after succus entericus reinfusion were significantly higher than those on the day of reinfusion. Serum fibronectin level increased from ( 152.80 ± 16.50 ) to ( 227.05 ± 45.36 ) mg/L ( P =0.000), and transferring protein level increased from ( 2.16 ± 0.52 ) to ( 2.62 ± 0.41 ) g/L ( P =0.017 ) 14days after succus entericus reinfusion. ConclusionSuccus entericus reinfusion is effective in protecting the intestinal mucosa in patients with stomal type fistulas.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution of biliary bacteriology and their sensitivity to antibiotics in patients with biliary tract infection in Jinshan area in recent 3 years.Methods Bile specimens collected from 367 patients with cholelithiasis between June 2006 and June 2009 were cultured and tested for drug sensitivity to aerobic bacteria.The results were statistically analyzed.Results One hundred and fifty-six bacterial strains were found in 142 (38.7%) bile specimens including gram negative strains (97,62.2%),gram positive strains (51,32.7% ),and fungal strains (8,5.1%).Enterococcus (17.9%) was major pathogen and follwed by Escherichia coli (12.8%),staphylococcus (11.5%),Klebsiella pneumoniae (8.3%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7.7%).Whereas the mixed infection was found in 26 (18.3%) specimens.The positive rate of bacterial infection was 53.1% in patients over 60 years of age (X2=8.36,P<0.01 ) and 47.1% in patients with acute biliary infection(X2=4.68,P<0.05).The drug susceptibility revealed that gram negative strains had low resistance to Meropenem (7.5 %),and followed by Imipenem (8.8 %),Cefoperazone +Sulbactam (19.7%),Amikacin (21.9%) and Tazobactam+Piperacillin (TZP,25.3%),but they were highly resistant to Ampicillin,Quinolones and some third generation of Cephalosporins (>50% ).In gram positive strains,none was resistant to Vancomycin,11.3% to fosfomycin and 11.6% to chloromycetin.They were highly resistant to Penicillins,Ampicillin and Cefazollin (>40%).ConclusionsEnterococcus,Escherichia coli,Sstaphylococcus and Klebsiella pneumoniae are commonly seen pathogens in biliary tract infection in Jinshan area.Use of Sulperazone or TZP plus Amikacin and metronidazole is recommended.Imipenem and Vancomycins may be second choice in treatment of severe biliary infection and refractory infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical characteristic and diagnosis and treatment of HLAP.Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with HLAP were reviewed retrospectively.Results 38 cases were diagnosed as HLAP(10.7%),that included 29 cases with mild acute panereatitis(76.3%) and 9 cases with severe acute panereatitis(23.7%).34 patients were treated by nonsurgical methods(89.5% ),4 by surgery(10.5%),As a result,36 cases were cured and 2 cases with severe acute pancreatitis died.Conclusions HLAP are common,and have particular clinical manifestations.Treatment for HLAP is mainly by nonoperative management.Reducing the blood triglyceride could quickly alleviate symptoms.Surgical treatment should be adopted according to the severity of panereatitis.
