Objective To explore the safety, effectiveness, operation mode and clinical value of the laparoscopic colorectal resection. Methods The clinical data and experiences of laparoscopic resection for 18 cases with colorectal neoplasm from Jun. 2007 to Mar. 2008 were studied retrospectively. Results Among 18 cases, there were 5 cases of rectal cancer, 6 cases of sigmoid colon carcinoma, 2 cases of sigmoid colonic polyp, 2 cases of descending colon carcinoma, 2 cases of ascending colon carcinoma and 1 case of ascending colonic lipoma. Fifteen cases of laparoscopic colorectal resection were performed successfully, including Dixon procedure 4 cases, Miles operation 1 case, radical resection of sigmoid colon 5 cases, palliative resection of sigmoid colon 2 cases, left hemicolectomy 2 cases and right hemicolectomy 1 case. Three cases converted to laparotomy due to adiposity or advanced status of local disease. Average intraoperative blood loss was 110 ml. The average number of lymph nodes dissected was 13.5. It took about 40 hours to restore intestinal function. The average time of hospitalization was 9 days. No one died during operation and no complications such as anastomotic leakage and postoperative hemorrhage occurred. Conclusion Laparoscopic resection for colorectal neoplasms possesses less trauma and rapid postoperative recovery. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe and effective with skill and indication.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the role and value of multidisciplinary team (MDT) in the decision-making for the treatment of elderly patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with multiple organ dysfunction. MethodThe clinicopathologic data of an elderly patient with large HCC with multiple organ dysfunction admitted to Dongguan Hospital of Southern Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThe patient was an 82 years old male patient with asthmatic bronchitis, long-term hormone use, severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction, moderate pericardial effusion, hypertension, and poor liver function compensation. After MDT discussion including 10 departments and full communication with the patient and his families, the open hepatectomy for hepatic S5 and S4b and cholecystectomy were proposed to perform. The operation process was smooth, and the patient was discharged on the 15th day after the operation without any complications. After discharge, lenvatinib was taken and thymosin alpha for injection was injected. At present, the patient’s quality of life was better, and there was no tumor recurrence or metastasis. ConclusionsFor the elderly patients with large HCC with severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction, the risk of treatment is higher. By MDT mode, the optimum treatment scheme for patient could be formulated to ensure efficient and accurate diagnosis and ensure high-quality treatment process, so as to maximally benefit patient.
