To analyze the causes of failure to reduce acute infantile intussusception with gas enema. 441 cases of acute infantile intussusception in our hospital who failed to be reduced with gas-enema, and underwent the operative therapy were analyzed. Result: 92 cases (20.9%) were intestinal necrosis, 184 cases (41.7%) double intussusception, 27 cases (6.1%) organic pathological changes and 8 cases (1.8%) intestinal perforation caused by gas-enema reduction. All the cases had a successful recovery after surgery. Conclusion: The main causes of failure to reduction with gas-enema were as follows: ①double intussusception, ②intestinal necrosis, ③late for visiting a doctor, ④organic pathological changes, ⑤perforation (in the process of gas-enema reduction). The importance of early diagnosis is emphasized.
Objective To evaluate the operative methods and therapeutic effects of nasal septum cartilage-sil ica gel complex for two-stage repair of nasal deformities of unilateral cleft l ip. Methods From June 2001 to June 2007, 38 cases of secondary nasal deformity and septum deviation of cleft l ip were treated with transplanting nasal septum cartilage-sil ica gelcomplex. Among of them, there were 21 males and 17 females, aging 14-23 years with an average of 17.6 years. All cases were with nasal deformities of unilateral cleft l ip, including 21 cases of complete cleft l ip and 17 cases of incomplete cleft l ip. The locations were left side in 26 cases and right side in 12 cases. Nasal deformities were columella nasi deflexion, flattened nasal tip, pteleorrhine and alanasi collapse. The patients received 1-4 times operations, and the interval of two operations was 3-10 years (mean 5.5 years). According to nasal deformity, the nasal septum cartilage of 1.8 cm × 1.2 cm was cut, and transplanted into the nose point phantom surface forming “the shield” to extend nose column and to raise the tip of the nose. At the same time the nasal tip fat-connective tissue flap graft with fat knot was given. After fixation, the nasal alar cartilage and soft tissues were reduced to normal position. Results Primary heal ing of the incisions was achieved in all cases. The nasal deformity was corrected. The postoperative follow-up period was 12-18 months with an average of 15.6 months. All the patients of regional cartilage scars had no compl ication. The figure of nose was sl inky, the height of apex of nose and the shape of nose was natural,the apex of nose, nasal ala, nostrils and nasal columella were satisfactory [(the results were satisfactory in 30 cases (78.9%), general in 8 cases (21.1%)]. The nose department overall esthetics shape was improved in all the patients, no compl ications of the phantom sl iding, shifting and exposure, hemorrhage and infection occurred. Conclusion The nasal septum cartilagesil ica gel complex to repair the nasal deformities of unilateral cleft l ip is an ideal operation style.
Objective To explore the secondary surgical reconstruction for orbital bone deformities accompanied with canthus dislocation after trauma. Methods From June 1998 to July 2007, 37 patients with secondary orbital bone fracture deformity accompanied with medial or lateral canthal l igament dislocation posttraumatically were treated, among whom there were 22 males and 15 females, aged 13-46 years old (21 on average). There were 29 cases of traffic accident, 6 of boxinginjury and 2 of beating injury by sticks. The latest reconstruction was performed on these 37 cases during 3 months to 8 years after injuries. There were 11 cases of orbital maxillary zygoma (OMZ) fracture, 15 of naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) fracture, 8 of OMZ and NOE fracture and 3 of frontal fracture. There were 31 patients who were reconstructed for the first time and 6 for the second time. Typical bicoronal and subcill iary incisions and intro-oral approach were employed to expose all the fractured sites. According to the fractured position and the degree of deformity and dislocation, the orbito-zygomatic fracture was repositioned after osteotomy and rigid fixation, or the heaved fragments were trimmed with a burr and the depressed fragments were filled with autogenous bone such as il ium, cranial outer table or Medpor in order to reconstruct orbital wall framework; the orbital walls were repaired to correct the enophthalmos with autogeneous bone or Medpor after the herniated orbital contents were released. The medial canthal l igament was anchored superior-posteriorly to the lacrimal fossa with transnasal wires fixation or fixed with titanium mini plates and nails. Results The 36 patients’ incisions obtained heal ing by first intention after the operation, and 1 case failed because of wound infection from maxillary sinusitis. There were 24 patients who were cured successfully with facial appearance and function improved significantly. During the follow-up for 3-6 months, no compl ication was found such as dislocation of the implant, rejection and infection. Two patients still showed sl ight enophthalmos while 3 patients with canthus dislocation regained improved appearances but not satisfactory. At 6 months after operation, the CT scan conducted in 3 patients with autogenous bone and Medpor grafting showed all fractures were fixed rigidly. Conclusion Surgical reduction combined with bone grafting is a satisfactory method for the correction of secondary orbital bone deformity, and the repair of canthus dislocation and correction of enophthalmos should be considered at the same time. An ideal result could be achieved only through all-round consideration and comprehensive treatment.
Objective To detect the operative technique and aesthetic problem of reconstruction to deformity of bilateral cleft lip． Methods From March 2003 to December 2004, 26 patients with bilateral cleft lip were treated, aged 10 months to 11 years. Of 26 patients, there were 13 bilateral complete cleft lip and palate, 9 bilateral incomplete cleft lip and 4 mixed cleft lip with unilateral complete cleft palate. The chief design principle was keeping the length of prolabium. During operation, sufficient dissociation was made in the base of the ala base and orbicularis oris muscle to reconstruct these structures．The circle suture was made for the bilateral orbicularis oris muscle. The shape of vermilion was achieved by lateral red lip muscle flap and simultaneous simple rhinoplasty was performed. Results Primary healing of the incisions was achieved in all cases. After the 10 days-3 months follow-up, the results were satisfactory in thewidth and chubbiness of the nose bottom,the shapes of nostril and Cupid’s bow were good without whistle deformity. Theapperance of upper lip was good in either dynamic or static state． Conclusion Excellent shapes and function of the nose and lip， and opportunity for twostage repair could be obtained with this method，which being believed important methods for the primary repair of bilateral cleft lip．
Thirty-one cases of below pairt nasal defect were re-paired by various auricular compound tissue flap. All of thepatients have good appearance after operations,The operativetechniques and the application range of various auricularcompound tissue flaps were introduced.
Since 1982. nineteen cases of defect of mouth floorhave been treated by free skin flap and myocutaneous flapgrafts. All of cases were sucecssful with good appearence andfunctions. The repairing method of defect of mouth floorwere disscused and verious free skin flaps graft in repairingdefect of mouth floor were evaluated.
ObjectiveTo explore the value of maxillofacial osseous reconstruction in one-stage operation combined with craniotomy for moderate craniocerebral injury. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted by analyzing the clinical and radiographic results of 13 patients treated between January 2008 and February 2015. Among them, 7 patients admitted into the hospital between January 2008 and December 2009 were regarded as the control group. Among the 7 patients, 5 were males and 2 were females, aged between 22 and 66 years old, averaging (44.3±15.9) years old. The patients of the control group underwent craniotomy within 24 hours after admission, and accepted the second stage operation for maxillofacial reconstruction 3 to 5 weeks later. The other 6 patients including 4 males and 2 females aged between 27 and 57 years old, averaging (40.2±10.7) years old, admitted into the hospital between January 2010 and February 2015 were designated into the observation group. They underwent maxillofacial osseous reconstruction in one-stage operation combined with craniotomy within 24 hours after admission. The treatment effect, leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, intracranial infection and average length of stay were analyzed and compared. ResultsIn the control group, there were 5 cases of cerebrospinal rhinorrhea preoperatively, and all were cured after craniotomy. During the second stage operation for maxillofacial reconstruction, bone callus and scar tissue presented in all cases and poor reconstruction occurred to 3 cases. After reconstruction, cerebrospinal rhinorrhea recurred in 2 cases. The average length of stay was (43.4±4.5) days. For the observation group there were 3 cases of cerebrospinal rhinorrhea preoperatively, and one of them remained after the operation and cured 7 days later. The average length of stay was (22.7±2.7) days. None of the 13 patients suffered intracranial infection. ConclusionMaxillofacial osseous reconstruction should be considered in one-stage operation combined with craniotomy for moderate craniocerebral injury
