Objective To explore and summarize the curative effect and experience of emergency devascularization for treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension. Melthods The clinical data of 42 patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension， undergoing emergency devascularization from March 2006 to July 2011 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of the 42 cases， 29 patients underwent emergency splenectomy plus esophagogastric devascularization， 8 patients underwent emergency spleen artery ligation plus esophagogastric devascularization， and 5 patients only underwent emergency esophagogastric devascularization. The hemostasis rate at 3 hours after emergent disconnection operation was 100%. One patient died of liver failure on 8 days after operation. Three patients supervened with hemorrhage in abdominal cavity on 2 days after operation， and succeeded in hemostasis by conservative treatment. Other patients were successfullydischarged from hospital after postoperative rehabilitation for 2-4 weeks. All cases were followed up regular in 1 year after operation， 5 patients were lost to follow-up. Among the 36 cases followed up， rehaemorrhagia occurred in 1 patientin 8 months after operation， cured by endoscopic variceal ligation subsequently. A primary liver cancer occurred in 1 patient during physical examination in 7 months after operation， followed by partial hepatectomy. Other patients could complete daily life and work. Conclusions The patients suffering from upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension are likely to benefit from appropriate operations. Decisive emergency devascularization can stop the bleeding rapidly and effectively， and save the lives of those patients.
Objective To approach the prognosis after liver transplantation （LT） of liver function for Child grade A in patients with portal hypertension， and to compare with periesophagogastric devascularization with splenectomy （PDS）. Methods The data of 195 portal hypertension cases with Child A caused by hepatitis B cirrhosis who received surgical treatment of PDS （152 cases） or LT （43 cases） in division of liver transplantation center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 1999 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. The pre-， intra-， and postoperative variables in two groups that including patients’ age， score of Child， score of model for end-stage liver disease （MELD）， total bilirubin （TB），creatinine （Cr）， international normalized ratio （INR）， albumin （Alb）， complications of portal hypertension， amount of intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion， operative time， and in the ICU and hospital stay time were compared. The postoperative outcomes were statistically analyzed including severe postoperative complications， short-term and long-term survival rates. Results Compared with PDS group， the amount of intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion of LT group were morer （P＜0.05）， the operative time， in the ICU and hospital stay time of LT group were longer （P＜0.05）. The rate of severe postoperative complications in LT group was higher than that in PDS group 〔18.60% （8/43） vs. 1.97% （3/152），P＜0.05〕. The levels of TB and Cr during the postoperative period in LT group were higher than that in PDS group （P＜0.05）. Although the INR on day 1 after operation in LT group was higher than that in PDS group （P＜0.01）， but the difference disappeared soon on day 7 after operation in two groups （P＞0.05）.The 1-， 3-， and 5-year survival rates of the LT and PDS groups were 90.3%， 86.5%， 86.5%， and 100%， 100%， 100%， respectively， significant difference were observed in both short-term and long-term survival rates between the two groups （P＜0.05）. Conclusion LT offered no significant survival benefit to patients with portal hypertension and Child A due to hepatitis B cirrhosis， whereas PDS could be an effective treatment.
目的 探讨脾切除术后再出血的原因及诊治方法并总结其预防措施。方法 对我院1998年8月至2009年3月收治的11例脾切除术后再出血患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果 本组11例再出血患者均行急诊再手术治疗，10例治愈,无术后并发症，恢复顺利，切口愈合良好，均拆线出院，术后住院10～21 d（平均15 d）； 余1例外伤性脾破裂者术中探查为胃短动脉破裂出血，遂结扎胃短动脉，术后发生胃瘘，经禁食、静脉营养等治疗，效果差，于术后20 d死亡。结论 脾切除术后再出血原因较多，以胃短血管处理不当、脾蒂血管结扎线脱落、胰尾部血管损伤及患者凝血功能障碍为主。脾切除术后出血以预防为主，术前充分做好各项准备，术中止血彻底，术后特别是术后24 h内严密观察腹腔引流液的量、性质及速度。再出血后果严重，一旦发生，应及时准确诊断，行急诊再手术治疗。
Objective To investigate the effects of hand assistant laporoscopic splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization on systemic stress responses. Methods Forty patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension were selected， 20 cases of which were underwent hand assistant laparoscopic splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization (LAP group)， and the other 20 were underwent open splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization (OP group). The levels of blood glucose （BG）, insulin (Ins), triiodothyronine （T3）, tetraiodothyronine （T4）, corticosteroid （CS） and other related clinical data were measured before operation and on day 1-3 after operation, which were compared between two groups. Results There was no statistical significance between two groups on those levels before operation. On day 1 after operation， BG and CS level in both two groups were higher than those before operation (P＜0.05), but they were recovered on day 2 after operation in LAP group (Pgt;0.05), and on day 3 after operation in OP group (Pgt;0.05). BG and CS level in OP group were markedly higher than those in LAP group on day 2 after operation (P＜0.05). On day 1 after operation， Ins, T3 and T4 level of two groups were lower than those before operation (P＜0.05), but they were recovered on day 2 after operation in LAP group (Pgt;0.05) and on day 3 after operation in OP group (Pgt;0.05). Ins, T3 and T4 level in OP group were lower than those in LAP group on day 2 after operation (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in operation time between two groups (Pgt;0.05). But laparoscopic surgery had more advantages than conventional open surgery such as reducing bleeding quantity in operation, shortening recovery time of bowel and urinary bladder function and the length of stay. Conclusion Compared with laparotomy, the laparoscope not only imposes less impact on physical stress system, but also makes recovery after operation more quickly.

【Abstract】Objective To evaluate the operation of laparoscopic splenectomy（LS）, its safety and clinical effects.Methods Literature of the advances of LS were reviewed and analyzed.Results With the development of technology and surgical technique, the indications for LS were widened, the size of spleen plays an important role in the clinical outcome of LS.Conclusion LS has all the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. The application of handassisted technique is safe and feasible for giant spleen. With the accumulation of surgical experiences and technique development, LS will be extensively used in clinic.
ObjectiveTo study the results of splenectomy in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. MethodsSeven patients who failed to respond to conservative management were treated with splenectomy and followed up for 6 months to 8 years (1990～1999).ResultsThe presplenectomy patients had symptoms of bleeding and their platelet count on average was 32×109/L. The 3th,7th day and 1th,2th, 6th month after splenectomy, the average platelet count was 191×109/L,354×109/L,317×109/L,200×109/L and 151×109/L respectively. Their platelet recovered to normal during a week in 7 cases (≥100×109/L); In 6 patients the platelet count was normal in the 6th month after splenectomy, the success rate was 6/7, the rate of remission was 1/6. The platelet count after splenectomy was significantly higher than that before splenectomy.ConclusionThere are no correlation between the course of disease before splenectomy and the results of splenectomy. Splenectomy is safe and effective in the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
