RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL).Methods:Five UESL cases operated on at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from 2014 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. H&E and immunohistochemical staining were done for pathological observation.Results:The 5 UESL patients(two boys,three girls) were 0.5 to 15 years old, all underwent radical surgical resection. In 3 cases tumors located in right liver, 1 in left liver, 1 in both lobes. Radiographically and visually, the tumor is a large cystic solid mass, microscopically composed of myxoid stroma and undifferentiated stromal cells, with pleomorphic tumor giant cells and characteristic eosinophilic bodies. All 5 patients are now alive after surgical resection: 1 patient achieved disease-free survival of more than 91 months after surgery alone. Two patients had recurrence after surgery and received surgical resection plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. They achieved survival of more than 35 and 16 months, respectively. Two patients were treated with chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus radiotherapy after surgery and survived more than 49 and 31 months without recurrence, respectively.Conclusions:UESL is a rare and highly malignant mesenchymal tumor with characteristic pathologic morphology. Radical resection is the key to the treatment for UESL, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be carried out after surgery.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the risk factors for overall complications after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD) and to establish postoperative pancreatic fistula prediction model for LPD.Methods:The clinical data of 176 patients undergoing LPD from Jan 2014 to Mar 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:One died within 30 days. Five patients underwent reoperation. Seventy-three patients (41%) had complications including pancreatic fistula in 30 cases(17.0%), postoperative hemorrhage in 16 (9.1%); bile leakage in 10 (5.7%); abdominal infection in 6 (3.4%); wound infection in 4 (2.2%); pulmonary infection in 4 (2.2%); gastric emptying disorder in 3 (1.7%). Age, intraoperative blood loss, diabetes mellitus were risk factors for overall postoperative complications of LPD(all P<0.05); Age, male gender, pancreatic duct diameter, pancreas texture, lesion size were risk factors for pancreatic fistula after LPD(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Age, intraoperative blood loss, diabetes mellitus were risk factors for overall postoperative complications of LPD; Age, male gender, pancreatic duct diameter, pancreas texture, and lesion size were risk factors for pancreatic fistula after LPD.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the coordination and function of a laparoscopic assistant in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 101 patients who underwent LPD at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,Hunan Provincial People's Hospital,from January 2014 to March 2017.The study aimed to study the coordination and function of a laparoscopic assistant.Results LPD was successfully completed in all the 101 patients.There was no conversion to open surgery.The operation time was (326.0 ± 55.6) min,and the resection time was (174.4 ± 42.5) min.The digestive tract reconstruction time was (101.0 ± 21.4) min.The time of pancreaticojejunostomy was (40.5 ± 8.7) min.The time of gastrointestinal anastomosis was:(26.3 ± 5.5) min.The time of biliary anastomosis was (24.4 ± 6.5) min.The intraoperative bleeding was (175.6 ± 41.1) ml.Postoperative pathological data showed that 27 patients (26.7％) had distal common bile duct cancer,23 patients (22.8％)ampullary carcinoma,39 patients (38.6％) duodenal papillary carcinoma,and 12 patients (11.9％) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.The tumor diameter was (2.3 ± 1.3) cm,and the number of resected lymph nodes was (16.7 ±4.2).The number of positive lymph nodes was 1.3 ± 1.1.The length of postoperative hospital stay was 14.8 (8 ～ 29) d.Twenty-three patients developed postoperative pancreatic fistula,including 17 patients (16.8％) with a biochemical fistula,5 patients (5.0％) with a grade B pancreatic fistula,and 1 patient (1.0％) with a grade C pancreatic fistula.There were 2 patients (3.0％) with bile leakage,7 patients (6.9％) with intra-abdominal bleeding,4 patients (4.0％) with delayed gastric emptying,6 patients (5.9％) with abdominal infection,3 patients (3.0％) with pulmonary infection,2 patients (2.0％)with intestinal obstruction,3 patients (3.0％) required a repeated operation,and 1 patient (1.0％) with death in hospital within 30 days after surgery.Conclusions The laparoscopic assistant should have the perspective of "one axis,two sides and four regions" in LPD,and warn the operator to ensure the safety and fluency of the operation by clearly exposing important blood vessels and organs when performing the Kocher incision and when dissecting the key parts such as the dangerous triangle of the uncinate process.During anastomosis,the laparoscopic assistant should appropriately adjust the distance of vision,clearly reveal the surgical field of the anastomotic area,and help the surgeon in improving the precision of the suture and the quality of the anastomosis.
