ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of CT angiography (CTA) combined with three-dimensional modeling-assisted design of superficial peroneal artery perforator flap for reconstruction of traumatic hand wound.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 15 patients with hand injury admitted to 920th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2016 to December 2019. There were 11 males and 4 females, aged 19-51 years [(27.8±8.1)years]. All patients had soft tissue defect of the hand with exposed bone or tendon, and the defect area ranged from 2.0 cm×1.0 cm to 6.0 cm×4.0 cm. All patients underwent CTA of the abdominal aorta to dorsalis pedis artery before surgery. The three-dimensional models of bones, blood vessels, skin and other tissues were reconstructed by Mimics 20.0 software. The location, diameter and length of the superficial peroneal artery perforator vessels were accurately measured, and the perforator flap was designed according to the shape and size of the defect, then the resection of flap was simulated. During the operation, the superficial peroneal artery perforator flap was removed and transplanted to repair the defect according to the design. The location, diameter and length of perforator vessels were measured intraoperatively and compared with the preoperative modeling measurement. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. The survival of the flap and healing of the donor site were observed after operation. The function of the affected limb was evaluated according to the upper limb function evaluation standard of Chinese Medical Association before and 3 months after surgery. The appearance, sensation and motion of the donor site were observed 3 months after surgery.Results:The origin and course of superficial peroneal artery perforator vessels could be clarified preoperatively based on the three-dimensional model. There was no significant difference in the location, diameter and length of perforator vessels between the pre- and intra-operative measurements ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for 6-20 months [(12.2±3.8)months]. The operation duration was 50-125 minutes [(91.2±10.4)minutes], with blood loss of 150-450 ml [(364.1±44.7)ml]. The partial epidermal necrosis occurred in 2 patients after surgery, which gradually healed after dressing change, and other flaps survived smoothly. All donor sites could be sutured directly, and all incisions healed by first intention. According to the upper limb function evaluation standard of the Chinese Medical Association, the affected limb scored (76.4±9.7)points 3 months after surgery, higher than the preoperative score of (48.2±10.1)points ( P<0.05). The results were excellent in 8 patients, good in 6 and fair in 1, with the excellent and good rate of 93%. All patients had slight scar growth in donor sites and showed no obvious abnormalities in the sensation of foot dorsum and donor sites, with normal walking gait. Conclusion:CT angiography combined with three-dimensional modeling can accurately locate the perforating vessels, realize the individualized and precise design of the superficial peroneal artery perforator flap, and assist in the rapid and accurate flap resection, and hence promote wound healing and functional recovery of the hand.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate clinical features of three different gallbladder projective lesions. Methods Statistic analysis was performed for clinical data obtained from 325 cases of gallbladder projective lesions. Results There were 308 patients of benign lesions, including cholesterol polyps in 278 cases, other polyps in 5 cases, and adenomas of 25 cases. Malignant lesions was found in 17 cases, including 2 adenomas with malignant changes and 15 adenocarcinomas. 36. 0% and 32. 0% patients with benign polyps and adenomas were over 50 years of age, while 82.4% patients with adenocarcinomas were over 50 years. Average size of benign polyps, adenomas and adenocarcinomas were 8. 5 mm, 11.7 mm and 31.1 mm in diameter. 1.5% of benign polyps, 0% of adenomas and 52. 9% of adenocarcinomas were of low echo. 42.9% of benign polyps, 68.0% of adenomas and 100% of adenocarcinomas were single polyp. Conclusion The nature of gallbladder projective lesions can be suggested by patient age, size, number, and intensity of gallbladder projective lesions under B-ultrasound.
