Objective To explore the incidence of postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia and its related risk factors. Methods The clinical data of 213 patients with abdominal incisional hernia treated in the General Surgery of Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were collected retrospectively, and the incidence of postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia and its related influencing factors were analyzed. Results A total of 213 patients underwent a complete follow-up. The follow-up time was 3 to 60 months, and the median follow-up time was 46 months. A total of 24 cases (11.27%) of hernia recurred after surgery. The univariate analysis results showed that body mass index (BMI), hernia ring size, incarceration, recurrent hernia, history of multiple abdominal operations, postoperative incision complications, factors such as increased abdominal pressure, and whether the patch were used for postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia influences (P<0.05). Further logistic multi-factor analysis results showed that BMI [OR=1.14, 95%CI (1.01, 1.29), P=0.040], incarcerated hernia [OR=8.94, 95%CI (1.94, 40.98), P=0.005], recurrent hernia [OR=10.91, 95%CI (2.09, 56.84), P=0.005], and hernia ring size [OR=1.15, 95%CI (1.03, 1.28), P=0.010] were related to the recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia after surgery (P<0.05). Conclusions The risk factors for hernia recurrence after abdominal incisional hernia repair include recurrent hernia, incarcerated hernia, hernia ring size, and BMI. For patients with high-risk factors, corresponding measures should be taken to prevent hernia recurrence.
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of the DaVinci robot system and laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Methods Propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study were adopted. Data of 446 patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Xijing Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2014 to April 2021 were collected. Among them, 174 cases underwent robotic and 272 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery. Using the method of propensity score matching, 133 cases were selected from robotic operation group and laparoscopic operation group respectively as the research object. The perioperative indexes of the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to draw the survival curve and calculate the survival rate. Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factor of prognosis. Results There was no significant difference in baseline data between the robotic surgery group and the laparoscopic surgery group after propensity score matching (P>0.05). The operative time of the two groups [(236.47±50.32) min vs. (230.64±44.51) min, t=1.000, P=0.318], the number of lymph nodes dissected [(23.32±6.58) vs. (23.95±6.03), t=–0.826, P=0.410], the time of first anal exhaust [(3.46±0.77) days vs. (3.38±0.75) days, t=0.882, P=0.378], and the length of postoperative hospital stay [(6.98±2.84) days vs. (6.94±3.61) days, t=0.094, P=0.925] were similar, the differences were not statistically significant. Compared with the laparoscopic surgery group, the robotic surgery group had less intraoperative bleeding [(83.76±58.23) mL vs. (116.54±58.58) mL, t=–4.577, P<0.001], but the total hospitalization expenses was higher [(10.04±1.92) ten-thousand Yuan vs. (6.80±1.27) ten-thousand Yuan, t=16.211, P<0.001]. The incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (χ2=0.057, P=0.812) and Clavien-Dindo classification of complications (Z=–0.440, P=0.965) were similar between the two groups, the differences were not statistically significant. The 3-year survival situation was similar between the two groups (P=0.356). Body mass index [RR=0.803, 95%CI (0.698, 0.924), P=0.002], TNM-staging [Ⅱ -stage vs.Ⅰ -stage, RR=4.152, 95%CI (1.121, 15.385), P=0.033; Ⅲ -stage vs.Ⅰ -stage, RR=5.476, 95%CI (1.458, 20.558), P=0.012] and postoperative complications [with vs. without, RR=3.262, 95%CI (1.283, 8.293), P=0.013] were prognostic factors for 3-year survival. Conclusion Compared with laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, robotic radical gastrectomy has the same short-term and long-term prognosis.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above) after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of CRC patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria treated in the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications after the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ResultsAtotal of 170 eligible patients were included in this study, and the postoperative complications occurred in 45 patients, 24 of whom were severe complications. The univariate analysis results showed that the age (P<0.001), body mass index (BMI, P=0.047), age adjusted Charlson complication index (aCCI) score (P=0.002), American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (P<0.001), prognostic nutritional index (PNI, P=0.011), preoperative anemia (P=0.011), operation numbers of surgeon (P=0.003), and operation time (P=0.026) were related to the perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. The statistic indexes of univariate analysis (P<0.05) combined with indexes of clinical significance were included in the multivariate analysis, the results showed that the ASA classification Ⅲ– Ⅳ (OR=3.536, P=0.027), BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (OR=3.228, P=0.031), preoperative anemia (OR=2.876, P=0.049), operation numbers of surgeon <300 (OR=0.324, P=0.046), and the operation time ≥300 min (OR=3.480, P=0.020) increased the probability of perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that clinicians should pay attention to the perioperative management of patients with CRC, such as adequately evaluating the preoperative status of patients by ASA classification, PNI, and aCCI to adjust the malnutrition of patients; after operation, the patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and operation time more than 300 min should be paid more attention. At the same time, the surgeon should continuously accumulate the operation numbers and improve the operation proficiency so as to reduce the occurrence of perioperative severe complications after laparoscopic radical resection of CRC.
