ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effect of neuroendoscope-assisted drainage with lumbar cistern and large bone flap decompression in the treatment of craniocerebral injury complicated with temporal uncinate herniation.Methods:A total of 80 patients with craniocerebral trauma and temporal uncinate herniation hospitalized in Lanling County People′s Hospital from January 2017 to October 2020 were retrospectively included and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the surgical methods, with 40 patients in each group. Surgical procedures were performed by the same group of experienced neurosurgeons. The observation group was treated with neuroendoscope-assisted drainage with lumbar cistern and large bone flap decompression, while the control group was treated with large bone flap decompression only. Cephalic CT was reexamined before and 48 h after the surgery to compare the appearance rates of cisterna ambiens and suprasellar cistern. Intracranial pressure (ICP) was monitored at 3, 5 and 7 d after the surgery, and the scores of Glasgow coma scale(GCS) was recorded. Drainage time, postoperative cerebral edema and cerebral infarction complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Six months after the surgery, the prognosis was assessed by the Glasgow prognostic scale (GPS).Results:The occurrence rates of cisterna ambiens and suprasellarcistern in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: 67.50%(27/40) vs. 45.00%(18/40), 65.00%(26/40) vs. 42.50%(17/40), χ2 = 4.11, 4.07, P<0.05. The ICP value in the observation group at 3, 5 and 7 d after the surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the scores of GCS in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, there were statistical differences( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in drainage time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative cerebral edema in the observation group was lower than that in the control group:7.50%(3/40) vs. 25.00%(10/40), χ2 = 4.50, P<0.05. The incidence of postoperative cerebral infarction in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the volume of cerebral infarction was smaller than that in the control group: 5.00%(2/40) vs. 22.50%(9/40), (6.68 ± 1.75) cm 3 vs. (8.20 ± 2.15) cm 3, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 7.50%(7/40) vs. 40.00%(16/40), χ2 = 4.94, P<0.05. Six months after the surgery, the rate of good prognosis in the observation group was higher than that in the control group: 62.50%(25/40) vs. 35.00%(14/40), χ2 = 6.05, P<0.05. Conclusions:Neuroendoscope-assisted drainage with lumbar cistern and large bone flap decompression in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma and temporal uncinate herniation has good efficacy and safety.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Xingnaojing injection combined with modified large bone flap decompression on postoperative intracranial pressure (ICP) and serum inflammatory factors in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI).METHODS: In retrospective analysis, STBI patients were selected from Wuhan Municipal Third Hospital during May 2014-Nov. 2016, and then divided into control group and observation group according to therapy plan, with 32 cases in each group. Control group received modified large bone flap decompression and rountine postoperative infection. Observation group was given Xingnaojing injection 30 mL, once a day, after modified large bone flap decompression, for consecutive 30 d. ICP levels and GCS score were compared between 2 groups 3, 5, 7 d after surgery. The levels of serum inflammatory factors (hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6) were compared before surgery and 7 d after surgery. SF-36 score were observed before surgery and one month after surgery. GOS grading and the incidence of complication were observed one month after surgery. RESULTS: There was no statistical significance in baseline information between 2 groups (P>0. 05). Before surgery, there was no statistical significance in GCS score, serum inflammatory factor level or SF-36 score between 2 groups (P>0. 05). GOS grading of observation group was better than that of control group after surgery (P<0. 05). Compared with control group, the levels of ICP in observation group were decreased significantly 3, 5, 7 d after surgery (P<0. 05), while GCS score was increased significantly (P<0. 05); 7 d after surgery, the levels of serum inflammation factors were decreased significantly (P<0. 05). SF-36 score was increased significantly one month after surgery (P<0. 05), and the incidence of incisional hernia and acute encephalocele were decreased significantly (P<0. 05); there was no statistical significance in the incidence of delayed hematoma, hydrocephalus or interstitial brain edema (P>0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: Prognosis effect of Xingnaojing injection combined with modified large bone flap decompression may be better than modified large bone flap decompression alone in the treatment of STBI, and there is difference between them.
