Objective To explore the Shanghai featured day surgery directory to provide policy support for further promoting the development of day surgery and focusing on appropriate diseases. Methods The data of day surgery patients discharged from Shanghai municipal hospitals within 24 hours between January 1 and September 30, 2021 or between January 1 and September 30, 2022 were collected. The number of day surgical cases, average cost and the trend of surgical diseases in 2021 and 2022 were compared. The day surgical diseases suitable for normalized epidemic prevention and control were summarized. Results A total of 35 municipal hospitals were included, including 175 201 patients. A total of 107 101 operations were performed in 2021 and 68 100 in 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, affected by the epidemic situation in Shanghai, the number of cases undergoing day surgery decreased significantly, and the average cost was not significantly affected by the epidemic situation. In 2022, 27 of the day surgery carried out in Shanghai municipal hospitals did not appear in the national recommended directory, and the number of operations for 6 diseases recovered rapidly under the normalized epidemic prevention and control. Conclusion Vigorously implementing day surgery can improve the utilization rate of hospital beds, speed up the turnover of patients, improve the utilization rate of medical resources, and reduce the hospitalization time of patients, the waiting time for surgery and the accompanying time of family members to meet the epidemic prevention requirements.
ObjectiveTo review the clinical research progress of spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL). Methods The clinical studies on SEL at home and abroad in recent years were extensively reviewed, and the pathogenesis, clinical and imaging manifestations, and treatment status of SEL were summarized and analyzed. ResultsSEL is a disease characterized by compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots due to abnormal accumulation of epidural adipose tissue in the spinal canal. Its prevalence and diagnosis rate are low and the pathogenesis is not fully understood. MRI is the most sensitive and specific diagnostic test for SEL. Surgical decompression and removal of excess adipose tissue are the only options for patients with acute SEL or those who have failed conservative management, and conservative management should be considered for other patients. ConclusionSEL is a rare disease and related research still needs to be improved. In the future, high-quality, multi-center and large-sample studies will be of great significance for evaluating the choice of treatment methods and effectiveness of SEL patients.
