Objective To discuss the preoperative diagnosis and the effect of microsurgical transsphenoidal surgery of pituitary Rathke's cleft cysts.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed from January,2011 to May,2015 on 62 cases of Rathke's cleft cyst which confirmed by surgery and pathology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.Sixty-two cases were performed by the surgery of transsphenoidal approach.Results There were 50 cases with a correct preoperative diagnosis of and consider Rathke's cleft cyst,12 cases of misdiagnosis.Postoperative follow-up was performed within 6-12 months,and the patient's clinical symptons were improved in different degrees,1 case of recurrence,no deaths and serious complications.Conclusion The diagnosis of Rathke's cleft cyst need for comprehensive considerations from many aspects,and the improvement of diagnosis rate base on the clinical features,endocrine examination,and imaging data.The microsurgical transsphenoidal surgery is safe and effective treatment for Rathke's cleft cyst.

Repair of skin and soft tissue defects in upper limbs with low abdominal superficial artery flap / 中华显微外科杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of applying low abdominal superficial artery flap to repair skin and soft tissues defects in upper limbs.MethodsTotal 42 cases with soft tissues defects were recruited in this study.Seven cases were repaired using skin flaps with circumfiexa ilium superficial artery.Five cases were repaired using osteocutaneous flaps based on circumfiexa ilium superficial artery.Eleven cases were repaired using flaps with superficial epigastric artery.Seven cases were repaired using flaps with circumfiexa ilium superficial artery,lateral branches of superficial epigastric artery and musculocutaneous perforators of the fourth lumbar artery.Six cases were repaired using flaps with origin of circumfiexa ilium superficial artery,medial and lateral branch of superficial epigastric artery,and the deep and cutaneous branch of circumfiexa ilium superficial artery.ResultsAfter surgery,forty-two flaps all survived.Flaps areas were between 5 cm × 6 cm-9 cm × 30 cm.Followed up 6-24 months,the appearance,texture,color and function of flaps were recovered well and did not need to trim again.ConclusionLow abnominal superficial artery flap could be used to repair skin and soft tissues,also its texture is so thin and areas can be direct sutures,which,is an ideal method to forearm repairment.

Treatment of kid foot soft tissue defect with reverse flap with cutaneous branch of fibular artery combine with sural nerve nutritional vessel axial / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical efficiency of kid foot soft tissue defect with reverse flap with cutaneous branch of fibular artery combine with sural nerve nutritional vessel axial. Methods From Feb. 2006 to Feb. 2009, according to the position and size of the soft tissue defects, the sural nerve nutritional vessel flap combine with the cutaneous branch of the peroneal artery were desingned and obtained to repair the 5 cases soft tissue defects of the foot. The flap size ranged from 8 cm × 7 cm to 18 cm × 10 cm. The vessel pedicle of cutaneous branches ranged from 1.7 cm to 3.0 cm. The distribution of the vessel pedicle of cutaneous branches ranged from 4.5 cm to 8.0 cm on the lateral malleolus. Results All flaps survived completely in 6 cases. The outline and function were satisfactory during 6-18 months follow-up. Among of 6 cases, the sural nerve were anastomosed with the acceptor sensory nerve in all cases. The skin sense were sat-isfactory after 1 year of operation and 2-point discrimination was 10-13 mm. Conclusion The blood supply of this flap is reliable without sacrifice of major arteries. Flap elevation is easy. It can reverse to a long dis-tance and can repair large skin defects. Especially this flap could have some sensory nerve. It is very useful in repairing kid foot large soft tissue defect.

Evaluation on results after minimal invasive videoscopic lumbar discectomy / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective To analysis and evaluate the long term results after endoscopic lumbar discectomy, which was performed through a minor incision with guidance of TV screen Methods Forty-one operations were followed up, to evaluate their postoperative conditions according to Nakano scale, analysis the causes of repeated operations, and also compared them with other lumbar discectomy Results All symptoms and disabilities disappeared, and they return to work 3 months after treatments Three of them relapsed respectively in 12,16 and 52 months But after receiving regular treatment of open window on vertebral lamina, they all were recovered Conclusion Minimal invasive videoscopic lumbar discectomy led to less trauma, earlier recovery, lower costs and less influence on biodynamic structure of spine Its early and long term results are satisfactory So it is concerned to a new choice of operative methods
