Three different methods of electrocautery were used to study the effects of electrocoagu-lation on limbs and intraabdominal blood vessel of 6 rabbits. These methods are non-touching, touching and segmental electrocoagulation. The results show that all three methods can satisfactorily stop bleeding of the blood vessel which is smaller than 1. 5mm in diameter. For arteries with the diameter 1.5～2.0mm. the effect of segment electrocoagulation is better than the other methods because it has a long burn end after cautery.
Objective To evaluate the operative indication and results of pancreaticogastrostomy following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on the cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy following pancreaticogastrostomy from Aug. 2005 to Feb. 2008 in Shanghai Tongji Hospital. Results During this period, 38 cases had undergone pancreaticogastrostomy with pancreaticoduodenectomy. The median operative time was (352.1±78.3) min. The median intraoperative blood transfusion was (911.3±601.4) ml. The median postoperative length of stay was (26.2±12.1) d. Postoperative morbidity was 21.1% (8/38) with no operative death. Pancreatic anastomotic leakage occurred in 1 patient. Delayed gastric emptying occurred in 2 patients. Incision infection occurred in 2 patients. Abdominal fluid collection occurred in 1 patient and pulmonary infection occurred in 2 patients. All of the complications were treated conservatively. Conclusion Pancreaticogastrostomy is a safer drainage procedure for the pancreatic stump after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Objective To discuss venous drainage types of median hepatic lobe and their guiding significances on the selection of grafts. Methods Between April 2005 and March 2009, 109 potential living donors underwent 3-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) and the volume of graft was determined in the center of organ transplantation of Ruijin Hospital. The venous drainage types of median hepatic lobe of each donor were analyzed by the computer-based liver operation-planning system in detail to assign middle hepatic vein (MHV) types according to Marcos classification and venous types of Ⅳb segment according to Nakamura classification. Results The branching pattern of MHV was divided into 3 types: Type Ⅰ and Ⅱwere relatively more accounting for 44.0% （48/109）, 37.6% （41/109）, and type Ⅲ was fewest 〔18.3% （20/109）〕. There were no significant differences in volume of whole liver, volume of left liver or left liver/total liver volume ratio among various types of MHV of the donor (Pgt;0.05). Ⅳb vein was also divided into 3 types: The most common was type Ⅰ, accounting for 72.4% (79/109); Type Ⅱ 〔12.8% （14/109）〕, type Ⅲ 〔14.7% （16/109）〕 were relatively fewer. At last, 37 donors provided right liver, for Marcos Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ type of donors, donors remained with MHV was 12/17, 8/11, and 5/9; for Nakamura Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ type of donors, those number were 16/26, 4/6, and 5/5. Conclusion In adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation, there may be great significances in accordance with Marcos and Nakamura typing results to harvest right lobe liver graft with or without MHV.
ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive factors of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) before and after splenectomy and gastroesophageal devascularization for liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension. MethodsSixty-one cases of liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension who underwent splenectomy and gastroesophageal devascularization were enrolled retrospectively. The patients were divided into PVT group and non-PVT group based on the presence or absence of postoperative PVT on day 7. The clinical factors related with PVT were analyzed. ResultsThere were 25 cases in the DVT group and 36 cases in the non-DVT group. The results of univariate analysis showed that the preoperative platelet (P=0.006), activated partial thromboplastin time (P=0.048), prothrombin time (P=0.028), and international normalized ratio (P=0.029), postoperative fibrin degradation product (P=0.002) and D-dimer (P=0.014) on day 1, portal venous diameter (P=0.050) had significant differences between the DVT group and non-DVT group. The results of logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the preoperative platelet (OR=0.966, 95% CI 0.934-1.000, P=0.048) and postoperative fibrin degradation product on day 1(OR=1.055, 95% CI 1.011-1.103, P=0.017) were correlated with the PVT. The PVT might happen when preoperative platelet was less than 34.5×109/L (sensitibity 80.6%, specificity 60.0%) or postoperative fibrin degradation product on day 1 was more than 64.75 mg/L (sensitibity 48.0%, specificity 91.7%). ConclusionPreoperative platelet and postoperative fibrin degradation product on day 1 might predict PVT after splenectomy and gastroesophageal devascularization for liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension.
Objective?To approach feasibility, safety, and the application range of pure laparoscopic resection （PLR）, hand-assisted laparoscopic resection （HALR）, and robotic liver resection （RLR） in the minimally invasive liver resection （MILR）. Methods?The clinical data of 128 patients underwent MILR in the Surgical Department of the Shanghai Ruijin Hospital from September 2004 to January 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different methods, the patients were divided into PLR group, HALR group, and RLR group. The intraoperative findings and postoperative recovery of patients in three groups were compared.?Results?There were 82 cases in PLR group, 3 cases of which were transferred to open surgery；the mean operating time was （145.4±54.4） minutes （range：40-290 minutes）；the mean blood loss was （249.3±255.7） ml （range：30-1 500 ml）；abdominal infection was found in 3 cases and biliary fistula in 5 cases after operation, but all recovered after conservative treatment；the mean length of hospital stay was （7.1±3.8） days （range：2-34 days）. There were 35 cases in HALR group, 3 cases of which were transferred to open surgery；the mean operating time was （182.7±59.2） minutes （range：60-300 minutes）；the mean blood loss was （754.3±785.2） ml （range：50-3 000 ml）；abdominal infection was found in 1 case, biliary fistula in 2 cases, and operative incision infection in 2 cases after operation, but all recovered after conservative treatment；the mean length of hospital stay was （15.4±3.7） days （range：12-30 days）. There were 11 cases in RLR group, 2 cases of which were transferred to open surgery； the mean operating time was （129.5±33.5） minutes （range：120-200 minutes）； the mean blood loss was （424.5±657.5） ml （range：50-5 000 ml）； abdominal infection was found in 1 case and biliary fistula in 1 case after operation, but all recovered after conservative treatment； the mean length of hospital stay was （6.4±1.6） days （range：5-9 days）. The operating time （P=0.001） and length of hospital stay （P=0.000） of the RLR group were shortest and the blood loss （P=0.000） of the PLR group was least among three groups. Conclusions?Minimally invasive resection is a safe and feasible. Different surgical procedures should be chosen according to different cases. The robotic liver resection provides new development for treatment of liver tumor.
目的 探讨胰腺淋巴瘤和胰腺癌的鉴别诊断及治疗。方法 回顾性分析我院2000年1月至2008年4月期间经病理确诊的5例胰腺淋巴瘤患者的临床资料。结果 本组5例患者临床症状以腹痛、发热、黄疸为主，除1例外血浆CA19-9均正常，临床表现无法区分胰腺淋巴瘤和胰腺癌，CT等影像学有助于鉴别诊断。胰腺淋巴瘤CT增强扫描后均见强化表现，胰管不粗，和周围大血管关系紧密，邻近血管结构被推移，但无浸润、包绕现象。治疗以化疗为主，除1例失访外，其余4例分别存活24、14、14、13个月。结论 胰腺淋巴瘤是一种罕见的疾病，临床症状缺乏特异性，极易与胰腺癌混淆，治疗和预后却与胰腺癌不尽相同，临床上应该尽量通过CT或超声下穿刺明确诊断，以避免不必要的手术。
【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the preoperative and intraoperative evaluation and the operative methods of pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with resection of involved blood vessel. Methods The materials of 226 cases of carcinoma of head of pancreas, which were collected from January 2002 to June 2005, were assessed according to the T-grade evaluative method and were summarized into a more accurate method of preoperative and intraoperative evaluation and an operative method of the pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with vascular resection. The statistical analyses were performed by SAS 6.12 Stat software package with χ2 test for categorical data. Results The coincidence of every preoperative evaluations on pancreaticoduodenectomy with T-grade method were more than 85.00% and the accurate rate of evaluation on relationship between tumor and blood vessel was 80.97%. As the degree of T-grade increased, the proportion of requiring pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with vascular resection increased significantly as well (P＜0.001). All operations were smoothly done and the reconstruction of removed vascular took 12 to 46 minutes. The complication rate and the mortality rate of perioperative period were 19.61% and 1.96%, respectively. Conclusion With more practice, experience and the advanced imaging technology, it is possible for professional surgeon to evaluate more accurately on the pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with vascular resection by using the preoperative T-grade method. T-grade evaluative method is useful for operator to assess the indication accurately and to design the operative schedule reasonably. Accurate operational evaluation and careful operation are also important for pancreatoduodenectomy combined vascular resection.
