The effect of ultrasonic harmonic scalpel on stress after radical resection of esophageal carcinoma / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of ultrasonic harmonic scalpel on stress after radical resction of esophageal carcinoma.MethodsAll 115 patients of esophageal carcinoma undergone radical esophagectomy were analyzed retrospectively.60 patients were performed with ultrasonic harmonic scalpel,the other 55 patients were performed with electrotome.The drainage volume of 72h after operation,postoperative complications and hospital days were analyzed.White blood cell count,Neu,CRP and blood glucose level were tested 2 days after operation.ResultsThere was significant difference in the drainage volume of 72h after operation (P ＜ 0.05 ),but the postoperative complications and hospital days had no obvious difference.White blood cell count,Neu,CRP and blood glucose were obviously increased after operation( all P ＜ 0.05 ) ;the barmonic scalpel group was dramatically decreased as compared with the electrotome group except blood glucose ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionRadical resection of esophageal carcinoma using ultrasonic harmonic scalpel appears to decrease the drainage volume of 72h after operation and less the stress.
