ABSTRACT
Guided by aim of improving the survival rate of the injuries, damage control surgery (DCS) have undergone developments from simple gauze packing to planned resuscitation and reoperation for nearly a century, which leads to a great improvement in the treatments. In recent years, the concept of DCS has been more and more widely accepted and applied in many fields other than abdominal trauma. Besides, the technologies have been constantly standardized and the procedures have been more scientific. At the same time, some remarkable progress has been made in the research of DCS, such as new concepts of damage control resuscitation, permissive hypotension, and new technologies such as resuscitative balloon aortic occlusion and hybrid emergency surgery system.
ABSTRACT
[Abstract ] Objective Pelvic radiation disease(PRD) is multiple injuries in more than one organ resulted by pelvic radio-therapy.Patients have the symptoms of frequent feces and fecal incontinence after the resection of small bowel lesion .Sugeries on PRD patients were mainly distal ileum and ilieocecal valve resections , while the most susceptible part of pelvic radiation injury is rectum . However , little research has been done concerning PRD patients′anorectal functions .This study was mainly to evaluate the anorectal function of cervical cancer patients with PRD in order to provide evidence for the therapy and prognosis of PRD . Methods Cervical cancer patients with PRD in need of small bowel resection who hospitalized in our department from January 2014 to January 2015 were collected as patient group , while people from outpatient physical exam group were selected as control group according to the exclusion criteria of hypertension , diabetes, constipation and unrelaxed pelvic floor syndrome .PDR group and control group were matched according to age.All subjects underwent colonoscopy and anorectal manometry .Rectal radiation injury was estimated on the basis of colonoscopy results.Anorectal manometry results of PRD group and control group were analysised statistically . Results PRD group and control group both included 20 women without stenosis or obstruction in rectum .Significant difference was found between PRD group and con-trol group in anal resting pressure (47.23 ±9.08 mmHg vs 58.25 ±9.24 mmHg, P<0.05), anal maximum squeezing pressure (47.23 ±9.08 mmHg vs 58.25 ±9.24 mmHg, P<0.01), anal distension pressure (23.30 ±12.49 mmHg vs 39.10 ±9.99 mmHg, P<0.01), rectal defecation pressure(22.85 ±16,69 mmHg vs 50.90 ±9.14 mmHg, P<0.01) and maximum tolerated rectal volume (112.85 ±51.34 mL vs 173.50 ±48.15 mL, P<0.01).There was no significant difference between the two groups as to the lenghth of functional sphincters(P=0.313),rectum initial threshold(P=0.416) and rectal defecation threshold(P=0.161). Conclusion Ionization radiation that injures PRD patients′internal anal sphincters and external anal sphincters also reduces maximum tolerated rec -tal volumes preoperatively .It′s necessary to assess the muscles and nerve functions of anorectum before intestinal surgery in order to make a proper operation plan which will improve PRD patients′life quality.
