RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the feasibility and therapeutic effect of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cruciate-retaining (CR) prosthesis by using FEM-X1 femoral extramedullary positioning instrument based on the theory of restricted kinematic alignment (rKA).Methods:Thirty five cases who underwent total knee arthroplasty in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from November 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males and 28 females with an average age of 71± 8 years (ranging from 55 to 85 years) Following the guidance of rKA alignment, the FEM-X1 femoral extramedullary positioning instrument was used for TKA with CR prosthesis. Before the operation, the full-length lower limb radiographs of both anteroposterior and lateral views were taken in a standing position for preoperative assessment of lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA). According to the principle of rKA alignment, the target LDFA, MPTA and HKA were calculated. The proximal end of tibia and distal end of femur were cut using extramedullary positioning instrument respectively. The posterior femoral condyle was cut according to the tibial plateau and mediolateral soft tissue tension. The prosthesis was installed after osteotomy. The release of collateral ligaments, PCL function, release of PCL, patellofemoral trajectory, release of patellofemoral support band, the amount of blood loss and time of operation were recorded. Postoperative LDFA, MPTA, HKA, and posterior slope angle of tibial prosthesis were measured on X-ray images. The Knee Society Score (KSS) was used for functional evaluation.Results:Thirty five cases of TKA with CR prosthesis following rKA alignment were successfully completed. The operation time was 100 (90, 110) min, and the blood loss was 100 (100, 200) ml. 30 of them were followed up for 12.5±0.7 months (ranging from 12 to 14 months). The pre-operative and post-operative LDFA were 1.0°(-2.0°, 4.0°), 0°(-2.0°, 2.0°), MPTA were -4.0°(-5.0°, -1.0°), -2.0°(-3.0°, -1.0°), HKA were -3.0°(-3.0°, -1.0°), -2.0°(-3.0°, -1.0°). There was no significant difference between the three angles before and after operation ( Z=-0.89, P=0.372; Z=1.87, P=0.061; Z=1.03, P=0.302). The average posterior tibial slope was 5°(3°, 7°). At the follow-up of one year, the KSS clinical score was 94(92, 97) and functional score was 80(70, 90) in 30 cases. During the operation, PCL was released in 1 case because of excessive tension; and lateral retinacular release was performed in 1 case because of poor patellofemoral track. Conclusion:ITKA with CR prosthesis by using the extramedullary positioning instrument on the theory of rKA alignment showed a good clinical outcome at a short follow up.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss the surgical strategy and clinical effects of robotic assisted laparoscopic antegrade inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and surgical strategy on the 7 cases,who undergoing robotic assisted laparoscopic antegrade inguinal lymphadenectomy,from August of 2016 to August of 2017.The mean age of 7 patients was (49.7 ± 7.5) years old,ranged from 40 to 62 years old,the mean BMI was (27.97 ± 3.86) kg/m2,ranged from 21.76 to 33.21 kg/m2 . There were 4 cases of T1,2 cases of T2,1 case of T3,1 case of N1,3 cases of N2,3 cases of N3 according to TNM stages.Preoperative preparation was as follows,preoperative cardiopulmonary assessment,inguinal and pelvic CT or MRI,ultrasound of lower extremity venous,bowel preparation.The patients were placed in a supine position,with an indwelling catheter,with the head positioned lower than the hip at an angle of about 15 degrees,legs were spread apart around 45 degrees,and both knees were slightly bent and externally rotated.The da Vinci robotic patient cart was pushed forward between legs of the patient.A blunt separation was carried out between Scarpa's fascia and the surface of the aponeurosis of the obliquus externus abdominis prior,then subcutaneous space was established by a self-made balloon dilatation.Results 7 cases were completed successfully without robot reposition without any conversion.Operative time of each side ranged from 50 to 90 min (70.0 ± 12.5)min.The blood loss of each side was less than 10 ml.In the 7 cases,the number of nodes removed from left inguinal region ranged from 7 to 18 (14.0 ±3.3).The number of nodes removed from right ranged from 5 to 21 (11.0 ± 3.3).Pelvic lymphadenectomy was completed in the meantime by original trocar site on 4 cases.Till now,no perioperative complications,such as flap necrosis,delayed healing of incision,cellulitis,occurred in inguinal region,except lymphorrhagia in 3 cases.During a follow-up within 3-14 months,there was no recurrence or metastasis in 6 cases except one died from tumor progression with systemic metastasis.Conclusions Antegrade inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer by using Da Vinci robotic surgical system is safe and effective.This technique also appears to diminish the wound related complications associate with the standard open approach.Compared with the similar surgery,we conducted bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy without patient cart reposition,which simplify the procedure and reduce the using of trocar.According to individual clinical conditions,pelvic lymphadenectomy also can be completed in the meantime by original trocar.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the of the decision process to perform staged or synchronous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) in the treatment of bilateral upper urinary tract calculi. Methods Patients with an indication for bilateral PCNL were enrolled in the study from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2008. The decision to perform staged or synchronous bilateral PCNL was based on the initial side operative time, the changes of hemoglobin level and systolic arterial pressure, the results of blood gas analysis and the patient′s tolerance at the end of initial side operation. The patients were divided into two groups, patients who underwent synchronous bilateral PCNL were in group one. Patients where the PCNL procedure was stopped after the initial side and subsequently underwent staged bilateral PCNL three to six weeks later were placed in group two. The success and complication rates of two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Of 60 planned simultaneous bilateral PCNLs, nine were stopped after the initial side, due to prolonged operative time in four cases, a hemoglobin level ＜100 g/L or the decrease of more than 30 g/L in three cases, a systolic arterial pressure lower than 90 mm Hg or the decrease more than 30 mm Hg in two cases, an arterial blood pH lower than 7.35 or the arterial oxygen saturation lower than 95% in two cases or the patients were intolerant to the surgery in three cases. Between the two groups, the differences of patient gender, age, BMI, preoperative hemoglobin level, the total hemoglobin decrease, the side initiated operation, stone number and second side stone burden were insignificant. However, there were significant differences in the first operative side stone burden, total stone burden, the first operative side operative time and total operative time. The stone-clearance rate was 87.3% in group one and 88.9% in group two. There was no difference in complication rate of two groups. Conclusions Prolonged operative time, large blood loss during the first operation side and patient intolerance are the main causes of staged bilateral PCNL.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SBPCNL) for bilateral renal or upper ureteral calculi. Methods Forty-eight cases (26 males, 22 females, 24-57 years )who underwent SBPCNL with pneumatic and ultrasonic power for bilateral renal or upper ureteral calculi were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data including opera-tion time, blood loss, transfusion rates, length of hospital stay, stone free rate and complications were analyzed. Results The percutaneous renal access was successfully established under ultrasonic guid-ance in all patients. The average operation time was(105±18) rain(range 80-190 min). The average drop in hemoglobin was 21 g/L (range 5-54 g/L), with 5 patients requiring blood transfusion. In 43 patients, a single stage was performed on both sides, while 5 required the second stage PCNL on one side. A single tract was adopted on both sides in 44 patients, while 4 cases of the patients required two tracts on one side. No one required two tracts on both sides or more than one stage on both sides. The stone-clearance rate was 87.5 %. The average hospital stay was 6.5 d. There was no severe complica-tion occurred. Conclusion SBPCNL might be safe and effective for bilateral renal or upper ureteral calculi for selected patients.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the safety of the elderly donors in living related donor kidney transplantation. Methods Forty-five elderly donors (51 - 78 years,study group) who underwent ne-phrectomy for living related donor kidney transplantation from April 1993 to December 2007 were retrospectively investigated. Clinical data including serum creatinine (SCr), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in pre-and post-operation, operation complications and hospital stay time were analyzed and compared with the control group(62 cases, the donors age were younger than 50 years). Results The operations of all living donors were successful. The SCr and GFR in pre-operation were (82.16 ± 10.86)μmol/L, (85. 82±6.26)ml/min(study group)and (78. 66±10. 41)μmol/L, (88. 74±9. 44) ml/min (control group) respectively. There were no significant differences in SCr and GFR between the groups at different time points (P>0. 05). The average hospitalization time was 9 days in study group and 8 days in control group. There were no severe perioperative complications and no renal function failure was found in long-term following-up in study group. Conclusions Age is not the absolute contraindication of donor for living related donor kidney transplantation. The preoperative evaluation and careful operation can ensure the safety of elderly donors.
