ABSTRACT
In order to realize the seamless connection between superior and inferior medical institutions and simplify the process of patient referral to superior medical hospitals from the community medical institutions,Zhenjiang First People's Hospital designs a two-way referral platform for direct registration to Zhenjiang First People’s Hospital from community medical institutions.The paper introduces the design process,features and realization steps of this platform.The platform can realize the sharing of patient information between the community medical institutions and the hospital,facilitate patients' seeing a doctor and improve medical service level.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the importance and significance of classification diagnosis and treatment of chordee among hypospadias in children.MethodsA random sample review and controlled study was made in patients with hypospadias and chordee from 1989 to 2011 in First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University,and the patients were divided into 2 groups.There were 232 cases in group A,who were all diagnosed as chordee only on the basis of clinical symptoms or an erection induced by artificial stimulation before operation.All the 232 cases were corrected empirically without objective assessment by degloving the penis,dissecting superficial and deep fascia,and cutting off the urethral plate,and so on during operation.There were 25 cases in group B,who were all strictly implemented on classification diagnosis and treatment of chordee,in sponge saline injection test during operation and correction effect evaluation after operation.Chordee was classified according to different etiology and pathology:skin type,fascia-type,urethra type,sponge type and the glans of penis type.There were different operating methods in different ways of folding tunica albuginea.ResultsIn group A,86 patients (37％) had postoperative recurrence of chordee,25 patients ( 11％ ) had pain during erection after surgery,183 patients were satisfied with correction of chordee (79％).In group A,25 patients were in their adulthood when followed up,and 7 patients had IIEF-5 score ＜21 points.In group B,the single type of chordee among hypospadias were 7/25 (28％),merged type were 18/25 (72％).All patients were followed up without chordee recurrence or painless erection,and 100％ patients or families were satisfied with correction of chordee.The efficacy difference were statistically significant between the two groups in chordee correction.In folding tunica albuginea group in group B,the penile erection length was (4.58 ± 1.59) cm before the correction,and (6.16 ±2.54) cm after correction.In non-folding tunica albuginea group,penile erection length was (4.O1 ± 1.18 ) cm before correction,and (5.82 ± 1.51 ) cm after correction.The difference was not significant between the 2 groups in penile erection length (P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionsSurgeon should pay more attention to the correction,effect evaluated,classified etiology and pathological diagnosis of hypospadias and chordee.And the targeted selection of the correct treatment of chordee can further improve the therapeutic effect.Chordee of hypospadias can exist in single or merged according to the pathological classification.Chordee correction surgery can increase length of penis,and dorsal tunica albuginea plication had no significantly different effect on the length of the penis compared to other chordee corrective surgery.
