ABSTRACT
Objective To clarify the value of absorbable barbed suture in closure of galeal. Methods A total of 101 patients had craniotomy treated in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from October 2018 to February 2019 were divided into two groups according to the admission date. In the barbed suture group, 45 patients were sutured with QUILL by continuous stitching. In the control group, 56 patients were sutured with traditional stitchingby intermittent suture. Compare the differences in suture speed, average postoperative hospital stay, incision complication rate, and the average hospital costs of the two groups. Results The suture speed in barbed suture group was (0.330 ± 0.012) cm/min , and was significantly faster than that in control group (0.540 ± 0.016) cm/min;the postoperative average hospitalization days in barbed suture group was (10.91 ± 0.62) d, and was significantly shorter than that in control group (12.73 ± 0.41) d, there were significant differences (P<0.05) . However, the complications and hospital costs in two groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions The use of absorbable barbed close epicranial aponeuroisiscan improve suture speed, shorten the postoperative average hospitalization days, which is worthy of promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the protective effect of RLN revealed for RLN in high -risk thyroid surgery,and the clinical value of detecting nerve,thus to provide a reference for clinical treatment.Methods 132 patients of thyroid high -risk surgery were selected,according to whether to explode recurrent laryngeal nerve,they were divided into exposed group (80 cases)and non -exploded group(52 cases).The recurrent laryngeal nerve damage rate,clinical indicators of operation time were compared between the two groups.In the explode group,80 patients according to whether implementation of the nerve monitoring,were divided into the monitored group (36 cases)and non -monitored group(44 cases).The hours to find the nerve,recurrent laryngeal nerve injury rates and other indicators were compared.Results The operative time of the exploded group was (133.66 ±21.48)min,which was significantly longer than the non -exploded group,difference was statistically significant (t =3.994,P =0.025 ).The exposed group had similar incidence of hypocalcemia compared with the other groups,there was no statistically significant difference (P >0.05).The revealing recurrent laryngeal nerve injury rate of the exposed group was 2.50%,which was significantly lower than the non -exploded group,difference was statistically significant (χ2 =5.794,P =0.008).The recurrent laryngeal nerve positioning time of the monitoring group was (4.78 ±0.94)min,which was significantly shorter than the unmonitored group,difference was statistically significant (t =7.168,P =0.001).The recurrent laryngeal nerve injury rate of the monitoring group was 2.78%,showed no significant difference (χ2 =0.911,P =0.338).Conclusion In a high risk thyroid surgery,explode recurrent laryngeal nerve can reduce the rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve damage,nerve monitoring can effectively speed up the nerve localization time,but has no significant effect on reduce the rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
