ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on inflammatory factors and immune function in patients with gynecological malignant tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 60 patients with gynecological malignant tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery from January 2021 to December 2021 in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected as the research objects. All patients were divided into the control group, low-dose DEX group (group D1) and high-dose DEX group (group D2) by using random number table method, 20 cases in each group. Patients in D1 and D2 groups were intravenously pumped DEX 0.5 μg/kg and 1.0 μg/kg 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia, and then maintained with DEX 0.5 μg·kg -1·h -1 and 1.0 μg·kg -1·h -1 until 30 minutes before the end of operation; and patients in the control group were given the same amount of Nacl solution. The 10 ml peripheral venous blood were collected at 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia (T 1), 1 h after pneumoperitoneum relief (T 2) and 24 h after pneumoperitoneum relief (T 3). The changes of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), the proportion of CD4 +, the proportion of CD8 + and CD4 +/CD8 + ratio of the three groups were compared, and the cases of bradycardia and hypotension in perioperative period and the time of first exhaust after operation were recorded. Results:At T 1,T 2 and T 3, the expression level of IL-6 in the control group was (7.95±0.26) pg/ml, (8.30±0.24) pg/ml and (8.35±0.28) pg/ml, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 14.14, P < 0.001); the expression level of IL-10 in the control group was (38.9±2.6) pg/ml, (44.5±6.6) pg/ml and (46.3±4.6) pg/ml, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 12.45, P < 0.001); the proportion of CD4 + in the control group was (38.5±2.1)%, (29.5±4.6)% and (29.6±3.5)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 40.82, P < 0.001); the ratio of CD8 + in the control group was (30.1±3.7)%, (35.1±6.3)% and (40.3±8.2)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 13.02, P < 0.001); the CD4 +/CD8 + ratio in the control group was 1.29±0.14, 0.84±0.09 and 0.75±0.14, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 99.94, P < 0.001). The expression level of IL-6 in group D1 and group D2 was (8.10±0.32) pg/ml and (8.01±0.30) pg/ml at T 2, and (8.12±0.35) pg/ml and (8.05±0.34) pg/ml at T 3,which were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The expression level of IL-10 in group D2 was (40.6±3.5) pg/ml at T 2, which was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). At T 3, the expression level of IL-10 in group D1 and group D2 was (43.7±3.5) pg/ml and (42.4±3.9) pg/ml, which were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). At T 2, the proportion of CD4 + in group D2 was (34.5±4.3)%, which was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). At T 3, the proportion of CD4 + in group D1 and group D2 was (32.1±4.2)% and (33.7±2.8)%, which were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). At T 2, the proportion of CD8 + in group D2 was (30.7±5.5)%, which was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). At T 3, the proportion of CD8 + in group D1 and group D2 was (35.4±5.8)% and (32.5±5.1)%, which were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The CD4 +/CD8 + ratio in group D1 and D2 was 0.99±0.17 and 1.14±0.16 at T 2, 0.93±0.19 and 1.05±0.16 at T 3, which were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, 1 case of hypotension occurred in the the control group and group D1, respectively; 3 cases of bradycardia and 2 cases of hypotension occurred in the group D2. The time of exhaust in the control group was later than that in group D1 and D2, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:DEX can inhibit the inflammatory reaction during laparoscopic surgery in patients with gynecological malignant tumors, reduce immune damage. The anti-inflammatory action and immune protection of high-dose of DEX is more significant compared with low-dose of DEX, while high dose of DEX is more likely to cause hemodynamic fluctuations in perioperative period.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical application value of preoperative colonoscopic marking by Nd-Fe-B magnet ring to assist laparoscopy.Methods:A total of 51 patients with colorectal tumor who underwent radical laparoscopy from January 2020 to October 2021 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital were recruited. The patients were marked by Nd-Fe-B magnet ring under endoscopy one day before the operation, another magnet ring was sent into the abdominal cavity during the radical laparoscopy through cannula. The two magnet rings were attracted and clung to each other to orient the lesions. The basic information of patients, location of preoperative marks under endoscopy and laparoscopy conditions were recorded.Results:All 51 Nd-Fe-B magnet rings were successfully located to the position of colorectal tumor and fixed. According to the location of the lesions, there were 15 cases of transverse colon, 12 cases of descending colon, 19 cases of sigmoid colon, and 5 cases of upper rectal segment. According to the lesion type, there were 21 cases of colon cancer, 25 cases of polyp carcinomatosis, and 5 cases of laterally spreading tumors with partial carcinomatosis. There were 5 cases with positive margins after endoscopic mucosal resection and 1 case with positive margin after endoscopic submucosal dissection. All lesions were accurately located during the operation. The marking time was 4.1±1.2 min (3-6 min) before the operation and the localization time was 1.5±1.1 min (0.9-5.3 min) during the operation. All magnet rings were removed from the body by laparoscope. The mean distances between the tumor and the cutting edge of the proximal and distal intestinal segments were 5.5 cm and 6.3 cm, respectively. No complications such as colon mucosal injury, bleeding, intestinal perforation or local inflammatory reactions occurred.Conclusion:Nd-Fe-B magnet ring tracer technique for laparoscopic orientation is simple, fast, accurate and safe with no need for additional equipment or apparatus, which is worthy of clinical application.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the maternal and fetal outcomes of women with cervical insufficiency (CI) undergoing McDonald cerclage (MC) and laparoscopic cervicoisthmic cerclage (LCC), so as to provide evidence for the selection of cerclage methods.Methods:A retrospective trial was carried out in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2010 to December 2020. A total of 221 women who underwent the prophylactic cerclage were divided into MC group ( n=54), LCC with MC history group ( n=28) and LCC without MC history group ( n=129) by the mode of operation and whether the pregnant women who underwent LCC had MC history. General clinical data, pregnancy complications and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the three groups. Results:(1) General clinical data: the proportion of women accepted cervical cerclage during pregnancy in MC group, LCC with MC history group and LCC without MC history group were 100.0% (54/54), 7.1% (2/28) and 27.1% (35/129), respectively ( P<0.001). The indications of the three groups showed statistical significance ( P=0.003), and the main indication was the history of abortion in the second and third trimester [75.9% (41/54) vs 89.3% (25/28) vs 84.5% (109/129)]. (2) Pregnancy complications: the incidence of abnormal fetal position [7.8% (4/51) vs 17.4% (4/23) vs 19.8% (24/121)], placenta accrete [5.9% (3/51) vs 13.0% (3/23) vs 11.6% (14/121)], uterine rupture [0 vs 4.3% (1/23) vs 5.8% (7/121)] in the MC group were all lower than those in LCC with MC history and LCC without MC history groups. However, there were no statistical significances (all P>0.05). Intrauterine inflammation or chorioamnionitis [15.7% (8/51) vs 0 vs 0.8% (1/121)] and premature rupture of membrane [23.5% (12/51) vs 4.3% (1/23) vs 0] were both significantly higher in MC group than those in LCC with MC history and LCC without MC history groups (all P<0.001). (3) Pregnancy outcomes: the cesarean section rate was significantly lower in MC group (41.2%, 21/51) than that in LCC with MC history group (100.0%, 23/23) and LCC without MC history group (100.0%, 121/121; P<0.001). MC group was associated with lower expenditure than LCC with MC history and LCC without MC history groups (12 169 vs 26 438 vs 27 783 yuan, P<0.001). The success rates of live birth cerclage did not differ significantly in MC (94.4%, 51/54), LCC with MC history (82.1%, 23/28) and LCC without MC history (93.8%, 121/129) groups ( χ2=5.649, P=0.059). There was no significant difference in neonatal intensive care unit occupancy, neonatal birth weight and neonatal asphyxia between the three groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Both LCC and MC are the treatment choice for women with CI, which may get similar liver birth. However, MC has the advantages of low cesarean section rate, economical and easy operation. Therefore, MC is recommended as the first choice for CI patients, and LCC is for women with failed MC.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical advantages of absorbable barbed wires in laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy treatment of gallbladder polyps.Methods:The clinical data of 103 patients with gallbladder polyps who received laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy treatment in The First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from February 2016 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-five patients in the observation group underwent gallbladder wall sutures with absorbable barbed wires, and thirty-eight patients in the control group underwent gallbladder wall sutures with common absorbable wires. The operative time, gallbladder wall suture time, intraoperative blood loss, average hospitalization time, and postoperative bile leakage were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss and average hospitalization time between the two groups ( P = 0.312, P = 0.114). In the observation group, gallbladder wall suture time and operative time were (5.58 ± 1.14) minutes and (60.71 ± 11.03) minutes, respectively, which were shorter than (6.32 ± 1.04) minutes and (68.24 ± 9.61) minutes in the control group ( t = 3.23, 3.50, P = 0.002, 0.001). No bile leakage occurred in the observation group and bile leakage occurred in four (10.5%) patients in the control group. There was a significant difference in bile leakage between the observation and control groups ( χ2 = 4.57, P = 0.032). Conclusion:Absorbable barbed wires for gallbladder wall sutures during operation in laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy treatment of gallbladder polyps is safe and feasible. It can markedly shorten gallbladder wall suture time and operative time, decrease the incidence of bile leakage, and has a clinical advantage over common absorbable wires.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of single-layer with full thickness of duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 45 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with the procedures of single-layer with full thickness in Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from Jan 2020 to Jan 2022 were retrospectively collected and compared with 45 matched patients with traditional two-layer pancreaticojejunostomy.Results:The laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy procedures were successfully performed in all the 90 cases. The mean operation time (285.6±92.4 minutes) and the media pancreaticojejunostomy time 20(15, 35) minutes) of the single-layer with full thickness pancreaticojejunostomy group were shorter than those of the two-layer pancreaticojejunostomy group [the mean operation time: 317.0±85.5 minutes, the media pancreaticojejunostomy time: 46(30, 58) minutes] with significantly statistical differences (all P value<0.05). There were no significantly statistical differences on intraoperative blood loss, the postoperative complications or hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with traditional pancreaticojejunostomy, the single-layer with full thickness of duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy is simple and safe, which has the advantage of easy manipulation and less time-consuming and can be recommended for laparoscopic procedures.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the effect of lung protective ventilation on lung ventilation function and serum Clara cell protein 16 (CC16) level in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 80 gynecological patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery in Yancheng City Jianhu County People′s Hospital from October 2018 to December 2020 were randomly divided into group A and group B by random number table, each group with 40 cases. The patients in group A were treated with intermittent positive-pressure ventilation, and the patients in group B were ventilated with whole course ventilation mode. The pulmonary ventilation function, CC16 level and postoperative pulmonary complications were observed before anesthesia, 10 min of pneumoperitoneum, 30 min of pneumoperitoneum, 5 min of pneumoperitoneum stop and 2 h after operation. The patients were divided into groups according to whether with pulmonary complications, and their pulmonary ventilation function and serum CC16 level were compared. The predictive value of the above indexes for pulmonary complications was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that alveolar arterial oxygen differential pressure (PA-aDO 2) were significant differences in time point factors, time point interaction factors and group factors ( P<0.05); CC16 index were significant differences in time point factor and group factor ( P<0.05). According to the observation from postoperative to discharge, 4 patients (10.0%) in group A had pulmonary complications, 15 cases (37.5%) had pulmonary complications in group B, the levels of PA-aDO 2 and CC16 in patients with complications were significantly higher than those in patients without complications: group A:(332.9 ± 2.0) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (290.4 ± 13.2) mmHg, (53.5 ± 1.5) μg/L vs. (39.5 ± 6.5) μg/L; group B: (339.1 ± 8.8) mmHg vs. (305.7 ± 17.9) mmHg, (41.5 ± 4.2) μg/L vs. (39.7 ± 5.8) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC) of PA-aDO 2 and CC16 in predicting pulmonary complications in group A were 0.882 and 0.833, in group B was 0.885 and 0.731. Conclusions:Lung protective ventilation has little effect on lung ventilation function and serum CC16 in patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and the probability of pulmonary complications is lower. The pulmonary ventilation function and CC16 have certain value in predicting postoperative pulmonary complications.

ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a kind of mesenchymal tumor, most commonly found in the stomach, with unique immunophenotype and molecular genetic characteristics. Gastric GIST mostly originates from the musculi propria of the stomach wall. It often grows expansively with clear boundaries and is relatively easy to separate. Surgery is still the preferred treatment for gastric GIST. With the rapid development of laparoscopic technique, laparoscopic surgical treatment for gastric GIST has been gradually recognized. However, it still remains unclear whether laparoscopic surgery can be applied in gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors located in unfavorable sites. Here, this paper will combine author center′s exploration and clinical application on laparoscopic surgery for gastric GIST located in unfavorable sites and make a brief summary in order to choose a better way for treatment of gastric GIST located in unfavorable sites.
ABSTRACT
Laparoscopy technology is widely used in urology. The mastery of laparoscopic surgery by urologists is very important to improve the quality of surgery and improve the prognosis of patients. However, there is no evaluation system for the maturity of laparoscopic technology of urologists. Based on this situation, in recent years, some evaluation criteria or evaluation elements have emerged to try to evaluate the laparoscopic skills of urologists. This article mainly summarizes the common evaluation tools, application scenarios, and limitations of laparoscopic technology in urology, and made an idea to establish a laparoscopic technology evaluation system in urology, providing a certain reference for the application and development of training and evaluation tools of laparoscopic technologyin urology.
ABSTRACT
Objective:Three-dimensional simulation modeling technology was used to conduct three-dimensional reconstruction, classification and measurement for the anatomic structures of colorectal canal, tumor and key blood vessels in patients with rectal cancer before operation. And the accuracy of the data and information obtained for the prediction of anastomotic tension, important types of vascular variant, positioning of anatomical landmarks, etc. in laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of rectal cancer, and the guiding effect of operation was evaluated.Methods:The clinical data of 50 patients with laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of rectal cancer treated in the General Surgery Department, Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University from January 2019 to February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, including 31 males and 19 females, aged from 42 to 83 years old, with an average age of (62.72 ±15.21) years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the patients underwent three-dimensional simulation reconstruction before operation. The patients who underwent abdomen pelvic enhancement CT and further three-dimensional reconstruction before surgery were taken as reconstruction group ( n=24), and the patients who were only routinely performed abdomen pelvic enhancement CT before operation were taken as control group ( n=26). For the patients in the reconstruction group, the CT images were modeled by Mimics software before operation, and the key data such as the length of colorectal and tumor, the correlation length of rigid structure of pelvic wall, the length of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) from the bifurcation point of left and right arteria iliaca communis, the type and proportion of IMA variation, the length of left colonic artery (LCA) from the beginning of IMA and the distance between LCA and IMV were measured, and the consistency correlation coefficient (CCC) was analyzed with the actual data obtained during operation. And then the accuracy of three-dimensional simulation modeling technology for surgical guidance was evaluated. MedCalc 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results:In the reconstruction group, regarding the data of each dimension of the model (intestinal tract, pelvic cavity, blood vessels) and the corresponding structural measurements during the operation, the consistent correlation coefficient (CCC) evaluation was more than 0.9. One case was predicted to have free splenic flexure of colon and one case actually had free splenic flexure of colon. The prediction accuracy was 100%. The IMA variants in the reconstruction group were divided into 4 types, all of which were verified by operation. Compared with the control group, the operation time ( P=0.011) and the location time (IMA, P=0.043; LCA, P=0.007; IMV, P=0.034) of each vessel in the reconstruction group were shorter, and the amount of intraoperative blood loss was less ( P=0.017). Conclusion:The application of three-dimensional simulation modeling technology before operation is helpful for the operator to accurately predict the intraoperative anastomotic tension, the type of IMA variation and the related diameter length, based on which the accurate operation plan can be made to guide the operation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic myomectomy with a baseball-style suture technique in the treatment of hysteromyoma.Methods:Sixty patients with hysteromyoma who received treatment in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Second People's Hospital of Hefei, China between July 2018 and July 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to observation and control groups with 30 patients per group. The observation group was subjected to laparoscopic myomectomy with a baseball-style suture technique. The control group was given laparoscopic myomectomy with a continuous suture technique. Intraoperative indices and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:Operative time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(98.06 ± 35.41) minutes vs. (119.39 ± 33.65) minutes, t = 2.39, P < 0.05]. Intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group [(28.33 ± 9.56) mL vs. (46.17 ± 13.08) mL, t = 6.36, P < 0.05]. The percentage of intraoperative needle-hole bleeding in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [16.67% (5/30) vs. 46.67% (14/30), χ 2 = 6.23, P < 0.05). The time to anal exhaust and the time to drainage in the observation group were (19.21 ± 5.77) hours and (59.07 ± 18.85) hours, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (25.39 ± 9.65) hours and (77.22 ± 27.07) hours in the control group ( t = 3.01, 3.02, both P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative fever in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [3.33% (1/30) vs. 26.67% (8/30), χ 2 = 4.70, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Laparoscopic myomectomy with a baseball-style suture technique is highly effective on hysteromyoma. It can improve the safety of operation and has a great clinical value.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the feasibility for transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA) with conventional laparoscopic instruments, and compare SILA with the traditional three-port laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA).Methods:The clinical data of 113 patients with acute appendicitis from January 2018 to August 2020 in the Second Hospital of Jiaxing City were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 61 patients received traditional three-port LA (three-port LA group), 52 patients received transumbilical SILA (SILA group). The operative time, intra-operative blood loss, surgical complications, length of hospital stay and hospitalization costs were recorded. Pain score 6 h after operation was assessed by visual analogue scale. C-reactive protein (CRP) on the first day after operation was detected. All patients were followed up for 1 month.Results:In 2 groups, all patients did not suffered from the conversion to open operation or multi-port method, massive bleeding and accessory injury during the operation. Moreover, severe pain, severe incision infection, residual abdominal abscess and incisional hernia did not occur. Patients in SILA group had more hidden abdominal scars. there were no statistical differences in operative time, intra-operative blood loss and CRP on the first day after operation between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the rate of moderate pain degree 6 h after operation, length of hospital stay and hospitalization costs in SILA group were significantly lower than those in three-port LA group: 15.38% (8/52) vs. 34.43% (21/61), (3.63 ± 1.22) d vs. (4.31 ± 1.38) d and (8 802 ± 1 466) yuan vs. (9 559 ± 1 617) yuan, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions:The transumbilical SILA with conventional laparoscopic instruments is safe and feasible, the scar is more difficult to see, the cosmetic effect is much clearer, and the length of hospital stay is shorter.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect and demonstrate the techniques of single position laparoscopic nephroureterectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 84 upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients admitted to the Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from September 2018 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 39 males and 45 females, with a median age of (64.9±9.3)years and mean BMI of(24.7±3.4)kg/m 2. The tumor was located on the left side in 47 cases and the right side in 37 cases. All 84 patients received single position laparoscopic nephroureterectomy. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into two groups, including 67 cases undergoing nephrectomy first, and then bladder cuff excision was performed along ureter(traditional group), 17 cases undergoing bladder cuff excision before clamping the ureter below the tumor, and then nephrectomy was performed along the ureter to the head side (modified group). There was no statistically significant in the comparison of age [(65.5±9.4)years vs.(62.7±8.9)years], BMI[(24.9±3.5)kg/m 2vs.(23.9±3.3)kg/m 2], left/right side tumor of(38/29 cases vs. 9/8 cases), tumor location (in renal pelvis or calyx or upper/middle/lower ureter being 46/9/12 cases vs. 13/2/2 cases)and tumor stage(T 1-2/T 3-4: 54/13 cases vs. 15/2 cases) between traditional group and modified group ( P>0.05). The operation time, estimate blood loss, postoperative intestinal function recovery time and postoperative drainage time were recorded and compared. Results:All 84 cases were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. The mean operation time was (160.4±50.1)min, the mean estimated blood loss was(59.4±24.4)ml, the median postoperative intestinal function recovery time was 1(1, 2)d and the mean postoperative drainage time was (4.8±1.9)d(No drainage tube was placed in 4 patients). No Clavien Dindo >grade 3 complications occured. There was no significant difference in the comparison of operation time [(159.2±52.9)min vs. (164.7±38.1)min], estimate blood loss [(60.5±26.2)ml vs. (55.0±17.5)ml], postoperative intestinal function recovery time [1(1-2)d vs. 2(1-2)d] and drainage removal time [(4.8±1.8)d vs. (5.2±2.0)d] between traditional group and modified group ( P>0.05). The postoperative pathology of 84 cases was urothelial carcinoma, and the pathological results of the resection margin were negative. The median follow-up of 84 upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients was 13(3, 28)months. Five patients were lost to follow-up. In traditional group, 5 patients had bladder tumor recurrence, and 5 patients had distant metastasis. In modified group, no bladder tumor recurrence occurred and 1 patient had distant metastasis. Conclusions:Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy in single position is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique for the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma. Treatment of the bladder cuff excision firstly is more in line with the principle of tumor-free and increase surgical space.
ABSTRACT
Objective:In order to explore the possibility of expanding the surgical indications of the ambulatory laparoscopic transcystic common bill duct exploration(LTCBDE).Methods:A retrospective case-control study analysis was performed on the clinical data of 585 patients who underwent laparoscopic transcystic common bill duct exploration in the Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2018, including 155 cases of the ambulatory LTCBDE (study group) and 430 cases of the overnight LTCBDE (control group). The propensity score was used to match the related variables, and 144 pairs were successfully matched. The two groups were compared in surgery-related indicators, such the preoperative tests, history of acute exacerbation in the last one month, history of upper abdominal surgery, concomitant diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and respiratory diseases), american society of anesthesiology (ASA) score, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, total medical costs, unplanned readmission rate. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), chi-square test was used for comparison between groups, and M( Q1, Q3) was used for measurement data with non-normal distribution. Fisher exact probability test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used for comparison between groups. Results:The indexes of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin (DBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), ASA score, intraoperative bleeding and total medical costs of the study group were 21.8(18.0, 31.0) U/L, 21.5(15.0, 42.5) U/L, 14.2(11.2, 18.6) umol/L, 2.6(2.1, 3.5) μmol/L, 91.0(73.3, 118.5) U/L, 44.5(22.0, 109.8) U/L, 2.0(2.0, 2.0) grade, 7.5(5.0, 10.0) mL, 9 659.0(8 704.8, 10 640.2) yuan respectively, and the control group were 26.0(17.7, 45.3) U/L, 29.5(16.0, 85.5) U/L, 17.2(13.0, 27.5) μmol/L, 3.8(2.4, 8.7) μmol/L, 105.0(81.0, 156.0) U/L, 86.5(25.0, 224.8) U/L, 2.0(2.0, 2.0) grade, 10.0(6.3, 20.0) mL, 14 366.6(11 766.4, 16 764.4) yuan, which the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In two groups of the surgery-related indicators, such as the history of acute exacerbation in the last one month, history of upper abdominal surgery, hypertension are significant statistical differences ( P<0.05). Then there were no significant differences in diabetes, coronary heart diseases, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory diseases, surgical time and unplanned readmission rate. Conclusion:The concomitant diseases may not be the absolute contraindications of the ambulatory LTCBDE. More patients can be treated with ambulatory LTCBDE in experienced centers if relevant outpatient assay and examinations can be further improved, risks of surgery and anesthesia can be fully evaluated, and surgical contraindications can be clearly excluded.
ABSTRACT
Accurate determination of intestinal viability is the key step in the management of acute mesenteric ischemia. For patients with the possibility of intestinal necrosis, the application of laparoscopy for the primary exploration or second look, is significantly less invasive than laparotomy, so to avoid the unnecessary operative trauma for those with negative results. For critical patients, application of bed-side laparoscopy, with the avoidance of risks during transport process, is an effective and safer diagnostic method. And the combination with intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography may further improve the reliability of exploration so to result in more precise surgical management for these severe situation. So in the era of endovascular management for acute mesenteric ischemia, as an mimmally invasive and precise method for accurate determination of existence or not of intestinal necrosis, laparoscopy is effective in further improving the outcome of these patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy and laparotomy for 5-10 cm intermediate-risk gastric stromal tumor, and to evaluate whether there was evident benefits of postoperative adjuvant treatment with imatinib.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 72 patients with moderate risk gastric stromal tumors (5-10 cm in diameter) who received operation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2010 to July 2020. There were 28 cases in the laparoscopy group and 44 cases in the laparotomy group. The clinical features, pathological data, perioperative results and hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups. The survival rates of postoperative adjuvant therapy with or without imatinib were analyzed and compared.Results:There was no significant difference in clinicopathological features between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of postoperative complications in the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group were 32.1% (9/28) and 52.3% (23/44) respectively, showing no significant difference ( P=0.094). Compared with the laparotomy group, both the hospital stay (12.5±3.2 days VS 15.0±3.5 days, P=0.004) and the median postoperative hospital stay (7.5 days VS 9.0 days, P=0.006) in the laparoscopy group were significantly shorter, and the first exhaust time was significantly shorter ( P=0.003). During the median follow-up period of 58 months (13-129 months), there was no tumor-related death. Two cases died of breast cancer and heart disease in the laparotomy group, and 1 case died irrelevant to gastric stromal tumor in the laparoscopy group. Of the 72 patients, 40 received postoperative imatinib adjuvant therapy, 22 cases (50.0%) in the laparotomy group and 18 cases (64.3%) in the laparoscopy group, with no significant difference in the proportion ( χ2=1.414, P=0.234). There was significant difference in the overall survival rate between the group treated with imatinib and the group without imatinib ( P=0.015). Conclusion:Laparoscopic resection is safe and effective for intermediate-risk gastric stromal tumor of 5-10 cm. Taking imatinib adjuvant treatment does not increase overall survival rate of patients with intermediate-risk gastric stromal tumors (5-10 cm), and there is no tumor-related death, recurrence or metastasis for those who did not accept imatinib adjuvant treatment after R0 resection.
