ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of incision closure device in laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy. MethodsThe clinical data of 130 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from Oct. 2014 to Feb. 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the methods of gallbladder suture, 130 cases were divided into two groups, 72 cases underwent traditional manual suture (MS group), and 58 cases underwent incision closure device (ICD group). The operative time, postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time, bleeding volume, postoperative hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses, complications, and postoperative 6-12 months follow-up of patients in 2 groups were observed.Results One hundred and thirty cases were performed laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy successfully. The operative time and postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time of ICD group were significantly shorter than those of MS group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The hospitalization expenses of the patients in ICD group were significantly higher than those in the MD group (P < 0.05). There were no significant difference between the two groups in the bleeding volume and postoperative hospital stay (P > 0.05). The patients were followed up for 6-12 months, with an average of 8 months, and no complications occurred and stone recurrence. ConclusionIncision closure device can shorten the time of laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy and postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function, but the cost is higher. Next development, still need decrease the expend and strengthen clinical promotion.
Objective To study the clinical effect of laparoscopic repair of abdominal incision hernia. Methods The clinical data of 41 abdominal incision hernia patients undergone laparoscopic repair were retrospectively analyzed. Results 〗The operation was successfully performed for 38 cases, and 3 cases were conversed to open. Operative time ranged from 78 to 186 minutes, with an average of 95 minutes. Pain was minor after operation. The first flatus and defecation ranged from 25 to 41 hours, with an average of 32 hours. Food intake started on day 2 after operation. The average length of hospitalization was 6 days (range 5-7 days). After a mean follow-up of 9 (6-16) months, no incision hernia occurred.

Objective To summarize the experiences and methods on reoperation of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair with prosthetic patch. Methods Sixteen patients who got reoperation from January 2007 to December 2010 because of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair were analyzed retrospectively. Results All patients received prosthetic patch repair for reoperation. Thirteen patients received new mesh repair accompanied with old mesh removal, repair conducted by suturing new mesh with old mesh together in two patients, and repair performed by new mesh overlapping the old mesh in one patient. All patients recovered with primary wound healing. Fluid upon the mesh occurred in 3 patients and cured by percutaneous puncture and pressure dressing. Postoperative hospital stay was 7 to 16 days and the average 9 days. The drainage was removed 2 to 7 days after operation and the average was 4 days. All the 16 patients were followed up. And during a follow-up range of 5 to 36 months and the average 20 months, there was slight foreign body sensation in one patient, no chronic pain in wound area occurred. And no abdominal wall hernia recurrence occurred. Conclusions Reoperation of recurrent incisional hernia after mesh repair need to consider the recurrent position, material of the previous mesh, and the previous surgical methods, and should select appropriate prosthetic patch and surgical procedure, then could gain satisfied results.
Objective To investigate the effect of different degrees of wound eversion on scar formation at the donor site of anterolateral thigh flaps by a prospective clinical randomized controlled study. MethodsAccording to the degree of wound eversion, the clinical trial was designed with groups of non-eversion (group A), eversion of 0.5 cm (group B), and eversion of 1.0 cm (group C). Patients who underwent anterolateral femoral flap transplantation between September 2021 and March 2023 were collected as study subjects, and a total of 36 patients were included according to the selection criteria. After resected the anterolateral thigh flaps during operation, the wound at donor site of each patient was divided into two equal incisions, and the random number table method was used to group them (n=24) and perform corresponding treatments. Thirty of these patients completed follow-up and were included in the final study (group A n=18, group B n=23, and group C n=29). There were 26 males and 4 females with a median age of 53 years (range, 35-62 years). The body mass index was 17.88-29.18 kg/m2 (mean, 23.09 kg/m2). There was no significant difference in the age and body mass index between groups (P>0.05). The incision healing and scar quality of three groups were compared, as well as the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) score [including the observer component of the POSAS (OSAS) and the patient component of the POSAS (PSAS)], Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score, scar width, and patient satisfaction score [visual analogue scale (VAS) score]. Results In group C, 1 case had poor healing of the incision after operation, which healed after debridement and dressing change; 1 case had incision necrosis at 3 months after operation, which healed by second intention after active dressing change and suturing again. The other incisions in all groups healed by first intention. At 6 months after operation, the PSAS, OSAS, and patient satisfaction scores were the lowest in group B, followed by group A, and the highest in group C. The differences between the groups were significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in the VSS scores and scar widths (P>0.05). ConclusionModerate everted closure may reduce the formation of hypertrophic scars at the incision site of the anterior lateral thigh flap to a certain extent.
Objective To compare the efficacy of retromuscular repair of incisional hernia by using ProGrip self-gripping mesh and conventional polypropylene mesh. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 83 cases of incisional hernia between May 2012 and May 2016. Of 83 cases, ProGrip self-gripping mesh was used in 46 cases (self-gripping mesh group) and conventional polypropylene mesh (conventional mesh group) in 37 cases. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, types of incision hernia, hernia ring diameter, course of disease, and associated disease between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operative time, hospital stays, and visual analogue scale (VAS) were recorded and compared between 2 groups. Results The self-gripping mesh group was significantly lower than conventional mesh group in operative time and hospital stays (t=2.977,P=0.004;t=2.270,P=0.026). Primary healing of incision was obtained in 2 groups, with no seroma and mesh infection. The VAS score of self-gripping mesh group was significantly lower than that of conventional mesh group at 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days after operation (P<0.05). The follow-up time was 5-53 months (mean, 25.8 months) in 43 patients of self-gripping mesh group, and was 7-54 months (mean, 27.4 months) in 33 patients of conventional mesh group. No chronic pain or hernia recurrence was found in both groups during follow-up time. Conclusion It is a safe and feasible curative way to use ProGrip self-gripping mesh for retromuscular repair of incisional hernia as it can reduce operative time, hospital stays, and postoperative pain.

ObjectiveTo investigate the necessity and value of subcutaneous suction drainage in the prevention of fat liquefaction of postoperative abdominal vertical incision for obese patients. MethodsThree hundred and fortytwo obese patients underwent abdominal vertical incision from February 2008 to October 2010 were randomly divided into indwelling tube group and noindwelling tube group in our department of general surgery and obstetrics and gynecology. Agrade healing rate, the incidences of fat liquefaction and incision complications, mean healing time of incision, patient satisfaction, foreign body sensation, and direct medical costs were evaluated. ResultsThree hundred and twentyeight cases were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 165 patients in the indwelling tube group and 163 patients in the noindwelling tube group. There were not significant differences of age, gender, fat thickness, surgical time, incision length, and BMI between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The incidence of foreign body sensation of the no-indwelling tube group was less than that of the indwelling tube group 〔3.7% (6/163) versus 50.3% (83/165 )〕, Plt;0.05. The score of patient satisfaction of the no-indwelling tube group was higer than that of the indwelling tube group 〔(9.2±2.8) points versus (6.8±1.7) points〕, Plt;0.05. There were no significant differences in incidences of fat liquefaction and incision complications, A-grade healing rate, mean healing time of incision, and direct medical costs between two groups (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionIt’s unnecessary to indwell a conventional suction drainage tube to prevent fat liquefaction of the obese patient with vertical abdominal incision.
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of minimal incision technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by comparing the early compl ications after minimal incision TKA and those after traditional incision. Methods From May 2004 to July 2005, 38 patients (46 knees) underwent TKA using the minimal incision technique (minimal incision group), and 43 patients (54 knees) underwent TKA using the traditional incision technique at the same period (traditional incision group). The inimal incision group included 12 male patients (12 knees) and 26 female patients (34 knees), and their ages ranged from 52 to 76 years. Twenty-four patients (28 knees) had osteoarthritis and 14 patients (18 knees) had rheumatic arthritis. The varus deformity of the knee was found in 30 patients (34 knees) and valgus deformity was found in 8 patients (12 knees). TheAmerican Knee Society Score (AKSS) score was 37.5 ± 12.6, and the disease course was (7.5 ± 2.3) years. The raditional incision group included 15 male patients (19 knees) and 28 female patients (35 knees), and their ages ranged from 55 to 82 years. Thirtytwo patients (37 knees) had osteoarthritis and 11 patients (17 knees) had rheumatic arthritis. Varus deformity of the knee was found in 34 patients (41 knees) and valgus deformity was found in 9 patients (13 knees). The AKSS score was 31.1 ± 10.2, and the disease course was (10.1 ± 4.2) years. There were no statistically significant differences in the general data between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The incision length, the operation time and the drainage flow were (12.6 ± 1.2) cm, (95 ± 15) minutes and (650.1 ± 10.0) mL in the minimal incision group and (18.7 ± 2.3) cm, (63 ± 11) minutes and (300.0 ± 20.0) mL in the traditional incision group; showing statistically significant differences between two groups (P lt; 0.05). In the minimal incision group, 4 patients (4 knees) developed infections at the operated knees, including 2 early infection and 2 late infection, which were all cured by corresponding treatment. Deep vein thrombosis occurred in 1 patient on the third day after operation and was managed successfully by thrombolytic therapy. Cutaneous necrosis was found in 2 patients on the seventh and ninth postoperative day separately, which healed uneventfully after intensive local treatment. On the twelfth postoperative month, 1 patient had femoral fractured at the site of supracondylar region after a careless fall, but the prosthesis was stable. The fracture was fixed by a plate and healed uneventfully. In the traditional incision group, only 1 patient (1 knee) developed early infection at the operated knee on the tenth postoperative day, which was managed by corresponding treatment. And there were no periprosthetic fracture, cutaneous necrosis or deep vein thrombosis. The patients were followed up for (3.7 ± 0.4) years in the minimalincision group and (3.9 ± 0.6) years in the traditional incision group. At the latest follow-up, the AKSS scores were 78.2 ± 6.7 in the minimal incision group and 81.2 ± 7.3 in the traditional incision group, showing statistically significant ifferences (P lt; 0.05) when compared with those before operation and no statistically significant difference between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Minimally invasive TKA has relatively higher compl ication rate than traditional incision. Strict patient inclusion criteria, competent surgery skill, proper instrument and intensive perioperative management are essential to success.
ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of three different ways of annulus fibrosus incision on the biomechanical strength of intervertebral disc. MethodsA total of 30 goats underwent intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus extraction at L3, 4 and L4, 5 by the working channel in group A (n=10), by circular incision in group B (n=10), and by square incision in group C (n=10). The body weight, male and female ratio, age, intraoperative blood loss, and wound healing time were recorded and compared among 3 groups. The survival rate and wound healing situation were observed after operation. At 24 weeks after operation, the goats were sacrificed, MRI images were taken to observe the signal intensity of nucleus pulposus. The disc height of L3, 4 and L4, 5 was measured to calculate the loss of disc height; biomechanical test was used to assess the strength of the disc and anulus. Histological staining was also conducted to observe the repair effect at L4, 5. ResultsThere was no significant difference in body weight, male to female ratio, age, intraoperative blood loss, and wound healing time among groups (P>0.05). All goats survived to the end of the experiment. MRI examination showed decreased signal intensity in 3 groups, indicating intervertebral disc degeneration. According to modified Thompson classification method, the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration of group A was significantly higher than that of groups B and C (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups B and C (P>0.05). Difference was not significant in intervertebral space height before operation among 3 groups (P>0.05). But after 24 weeks, the intervertebral space height in group A was significantly higher than that in groups B and C (P<0.05), and the intervertebral space height loss in group A was significantly lower than that in groups B and C (P<0.05). The biomechanical strength in group A was also significantly higher than that in groups B and C (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between group B and group C (P>0.05). HE and Masson staining showed good continuity of annulus fibrosus and clear layers in group A; poor continuity of annulus fibrosus and obvious scar tissues were observed in groups B and C. ConclusionApplication of working channel may have less destruction of annulus fibrosus, it plays a positive role in the maintenance of biomechanical strength and repair of annulus fibrosus.
