ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of contact endoscopic argon plasma coagulation(APC) for treating protuberant erosive gastritis. Methods 63 patients with protuberant erosive gastritis were randomly divided into groups A and group B, which were treated with non-contact and contact APC, respectively. The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference between group A and group B in the efficacy and complication frequency. The curative rates in group A and B were 96.8% and 96.9%, respectively, and only 3 patients had abdominal pain or distension 1 to 3 days after operation, and disappeared within 3 to 7 days after treatment in each group. The numbers of ineffective operation in groups A and B were 284 and 96, respectively. The duration of operation in groups A and B was 11 min and 38 sec,7 min and 22 sec, respectivley. The numbers of accidental injury in group A and B were 137 and 58 times, respectively (all P
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of endoscopic duodenal feeding tube placement in severe coma patients with endotracheal tube by tracheostomy. Methods 28 patients, who suffered from severe coma with endotracheal tube by tracheostomy, received endoscopic duodenal feeding tube placement. Results Endoscopic duodenal feeding tube placement in all 28 patients was successful, and complications such as tube blocking or dropping occurred only in one patient. The average time of placing duodenal feeding tube was 16 min. Conclusion Endoscopic duodenal feeding tube placement was an effective, simple,convenient and safe way to set up enteral nutrition for severe coma patients with endotracheal tube by tracheostomy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application of intraoperative endoscopy during the emergency exploratory laparotomy in the patients with acute massive small intestinal bleeding.Methods Twenty-six patients with acute massive small intestinal bleeding were examined by intraoperative endoscopy during the emergency exploratory laparotomy and the clinical data were analyzed.Results The hemorrhagic reasons were clarified in 25 patients(96.2%) through the application of intraoperative endoscopy.Of the 25 patients,the results showed that 2 cases were with duodenal leiomyoma,1 case duodenal Dieulafoy' disease,5 cases small bowel leiomyoma,2 cases small bowel leiomyosarcoma,2 cases ileum lymphoma,3 cases ileum ulcer,4 cases small bowel cavernous hemangioma,5 cases small bowel arteriovenous dysmorphosis and 1 case pancreaticojejunostomy cut bleeding.The average examination time was 15 min and no complications related to intraoperative endoscopy occurred in all patients.Conclusion The application of intraoperative endoscopy,which may increase the detection rate,is efficient and safe during the emergency exploratory laparotomy in the patients with acute massive small intestinal bleeding.
