ABSTRACT
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) refers to a venous reflux disorder caused by abnormal condensation of blood in deep veins,It is detected in cardinal veins of the whole body and often occurred in the lower extremities.Desquamation of thrombus may cause pulmonary embolism (PE).PE and DVT are two clinical manifestations of different stages of the same disease,which are collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE).Five famous experts in hernia and abdominal wall surgery explored the prevention and treatment of DVT during perioperative period in patients undergoing abdominal wall hernia surgery from different angles based on clinical experiences.Professor Liu Ziwen introduced the epidemiology of DVT during perioperative period in patients undergoing abdominal wall hernia surgery,emphasized its risks,analyzed systematically its mechanisms including slow venous blood flow,vein injury,high blood coagulation state,underlying diseases and specific factors of abdominal wall hernia surgery,focused on mechanisms of inflammation caused by meshes inducing DVT.Professor Zhang Guangyong introduced informatively its diagnosis with clear and careful thinking,from the clinical manifestations to assistant examinations and moreover to Wells quantitative scoring,from general to specific and from qualitative to quantitative,striving to achieve early and precise diagnosis in order to prevent misseddiagnosis or ignoration of its danger level.Professor Li Hangyu emphasized appropriate preventive and treatment measures according to different stages and risk levels by evaluating the risk factors of preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative DVT.Professor Shen Yingmo analyzed special factors of laparoscopic abdominal wall hernia inducing DVT during the perioperative period,and indicated that surgeons should select surgical methods individually after comprehensive evaluation and consideration because of uncertainty of risk degree in laparoscopic and open surgery inducing DVT during perioperative period based on exis-ting evidence-based medicine and related guidelines.Professor Lu Chaoyang introduced three categories of main treatments including anticoagulation therapy,thrombolytic therapy and surgical therapy,and specific drugs,indications,advantages and disadvantages,opportunities,recommended clinicians to select individually and rationally.
ABSTRACT
The spleen whose size reaches or exceeds third degree should be regarded as massive splenomegaly.Splenectomy for massive splenomegaly demands precise procedures.First,median incision on upper abdomen(or vertical rectus muscle splitting incision)and incision under left costal arch are preferred.Second,the spleen was freed and then 0.33 mg of epinephrine was injected via the splenic artery before splenic artery ligation.During the process,a cell saver helps to minimize blood loss and makes autoinfusion possible for patients with benign lesions.Third,preoperative administration of fibrinogen,platelet and essential styptieum combined with the cooperation between surgeons and anesthesi010gists are the key points of bloodless surgery which is important for the recovery of patients.Four common problems of splenectomy for massive splenomegaly should also be addressed,including operation discontinuance,perioperative hemorrhage,accessory injury and postoperative intractable fever.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical factors predicting long-term survival after curative resection of pancreatic head carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreatic head who underwent curative resection of carcinoma of pancreatic head from 1996 to 2004 were collected and were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 with Cox Proportional Hazards Model. Results 58 patients, including 30 male and 28 female patients, were involved in this study. Pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed in 14 cases and extended resections were performed in 44 cases. The overall 1, 3, 5 year survival rates was 46.6%, 29.3% and 8.6%, respeclively. The 1,3, 5 year survival rates of pancreatoduodenectomy with extended regional lymphadenectomy was 43.1%, 22.7% and 6.8%, respectively. UICC staging, peri-pancreatic nerve invasion and blood infusion had significant effects on the prognosis after curative resection. Conclusions The long-term prognosis after curative resection of pancreatoduodenectomy was still dismal. Much importance should be paid to early diagnosis and comprehensive management for pancreatic head cancer.
