RESUMO
Objective Preliminary study on the clinical effect of preoperative ultrasound endoscopy combined with stai-ning labeling technique to locate the actual boundary of esophageal and gastric cancer Methods From September 1, 2015 to October 30, 2017, 18 patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma were enrolled in this study. The actual boundaries of esophage-al and gastric-derived adenocarcinoma lesions were localized by endoscopic ultrasonography and staining. There were 10 males and 8 females. After completing the preoperative examination, 1-2 days before operation, endoscopic ultrasonography was used to locate the edge of the lesion. Two point injection of carbon nano suspension was used to mark the location of 1cm at the lon-gest distance from the longitudinal axis of the tumor. According to the length of longitudinal axial staining, the thoracotomy was performed. Intraoperative proximal margin resection was used to send frozen pathology. According to the results of freezing, the operation was decided. After the operation, the specimens from the margin of the tumor were segmented into paraffin section, which was about 0. 5cm in each segment, and the tumor cells were observed under the electron microscope at all levels of the paraffin sections. Results The average time of preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography staining was(10. 16 ± 1. 38) min, and the diameter of nano carbon diffusion was(1.43 ±0.41)cm. All patients in the operation could clearly see the nano carbon staining area under the naked eye. In the field, the average time of locating lesions was(1.27 ±0.53)min. 5 patients under-went thoracoabdominal surgery and 13 underwent abdominal surgery. The average length of the cut margin of the tumor was(4. 74 ±1.12)cm, and the frozen pathology of the incision margin was negative, and no additional operation was performed. The routine pathology confirmed that all the specimens were negative. Conclusion The staining and labeling technique for adeno-carcinoma of the esophagogastric junction under endoscopic ultrasonography can detect the tumor edge and the scope of invasion accurately. It provides guidance and guarantee for the smooth implementation of AEG precision surgery. It is a safe, rapid and effective positioning technique.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical value of transumbilical endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy on women patients with palmar hyperhidrosis.Methods A total of 25 consecutive women patients with palmar hyperhidrosis underwent transumblical thoracic sympathectomy with ultra-thin endoscope.The operative data,including duration of operation,intra-operative and postoperative complications were recorded.Results The procedure was performed successfully in all 25 patients with a mean operative time of 64 min(58-113 min).No umbilical hernia,diaphragmatic hernia,Horner's syndrome or hemothorax were observed.Minor pneumothorax was found in postoperative chest X-ray in 3 patients,all of which were completely resolved with conservative treatment.All patients recovered to their normal life at 1 week after discharge.The scar was small and hidden in umbilical with no visible incisions.After a follow-up of 4 to 12 months,all patients' hands sweating symptoms completely disappeared,axillary sweat symptoms completely resolved in 6 patients,significantly improved in 4 and mildly improved in 1.Conclusion Transumbilical thoracic sympathectomy with ultrathin flexible endoscope is a safe and effective option for women patients with severe palmar hyperhidrosis,which provides excellent cosmetic outcomes.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the technique of finger palpation in thoracoscopic localization in patients with pulmonary nodules,and to summarize its technical details,especially with exploit of chest computed tomography (CT) facilitating it.Methods 95 patients with total amount of 109 pulmonary nodes 20 mm or smaller in size shown with lung window of CT,were reviewed.They were located subpleurally,with a median depth of 8.2 mm and a median size of 10.0 mm.The value of their depth over their size (D/d value) could be used as the extent of localizing difficulty.Each node had its own radiographic fealures for being localized,which was built preoperatively.Under thoracoscopic vision,nodules were finger-palpated by index finger via the 4th or 5th intercostal space on anterior axillary line,followed by wedgectomy or lobectomy for instant histopathological diagnosis to further decide the final surgical type.The distance between the nodule and the origin of segmental bronchus (L value) were also calculated out,as it might be relevant to the way the nodule could be biopsied.Results All nodules were successfully localized and resected for biopsy goal,105 by wedgectomy,4 by lobectomy.After intraoperative diagnosis was made by the pathologist,VATS lobectomy and lymph node dissection were further performed in 55 patients.L value of 4 cases being biopsied by lobectomy ranged from 18.3 to 30.3 mm,averaging 26.1 mm.Conclusion Finger palpation is viable in any cases of pulmonary nodules.Detailed reference of CT digital information,and enough detachment of mediastinal pleura,can greatly facilitate thoracoscopic localization by finger palpation.Lobectomy or segementectomy is preferable when L value is less than 30 mm.
