From Jan. 1980 to Dec. 1996, 138 cases of papillary adenocarcinoma of thyroid gland were surgically treated. To minimize the local recurrence and complication, resection of the involved lobe and the isthmus is an ideal surgical operation. Modified neck lymph node dissection should be performed, if the diameter of primary tumor is larger than 1.5 cm; whether the lymph node is palpable or not. Functional or classical radical neck lymph node excision should be taken, if the neck lymph node can be palpable.
Abstract: Objective To compare clinical outcomes and postoperative quality of life (QOL) of difference surgical strategies for patients with esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer, and investigate the best surgical strategy. Methods A total of 148 patients with EGJ cancer underwent surgical treatment in Xuzhou First People’s Hospital from July 2007 to October 2011. There were 111 male patients and 37 female patients with an average age of 64 (47-77)years. All the patients were divided into 3 groups according to different surgical strategies for them based on their respective preoperative assessment and tumor invasion degree. In group A, 81 patients underwent proximal subtotal gastrectomy and subaortic gastroesophageal anastomosis. In group B, 20 patients underwent total gastrectomy and esophagojejunostomy. In group C, 47 patients underwent proximal subtotal gastrectomy and jejunal interposition. Postoperative mortality and morbidity were compared among the three groups. Cancer metastasis rate and 1-year survival rate were also compared among the three groups. QOL questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C-30 and tumor specific module QLQ-OES24) was used to evaluate patients’ QOL during follow-up. Results There was no statistical difference in postoperative morbidity (P=0.762)and mortality (P=0.650)among the three groups. There was no statistical difference in cancer metastasis rate at 1 year after surgery among the three groups (P=0.983). One-year survival rate was 100% in all the three groups. At 1 year after surgery, physical functioning score (P=0.037,0.000) and global health score (P=0.035,0.006) of group A and group C were significantly higher than those of group B, and there was no statistical difference in physical functioning score and global health score between group A and group C (P>0.05). Emotional function score of group B was significantly lower than that of group C (P=0.015). Fatigue score (P=0.040,0.006), anorexia(P=0.045,0.025), nausea and vomiting symptom score (P=0.033,0.048) of group A and group C were significantly lower than those of group B. Pain score of group A was significantly lower than that of group C (P=0.009). Insomnia score of group A was significantly higher than that of group C (P=0.028). Reflux score of group A was significantly higher than that of group B and group C (P=0.025,P=0.021). Conclusion Postoperative QOL in patients with EGJ cancer who undergo total gastrectomy is comparatively unsatisfactory. Proximal subtotal gastrectomy and jejunal interposition can significantly improve postoperative QOL. Postoperative QOL evaluation is helpful to choose better surgical strategies for patients with EGJ cancer.
Objective To review the latest progress in classification system of thoracolumbar fractures and its surgical treatment with posterior approaches. Methods Recent l iterature about classification system of thoracolumbar fractures and its surgical treatment was reviewed. Results For the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture, the surgeon first should decide whether the surgical treatment was necessary. Recently, a new classification system had been developed to help the surgeon make the right decision. The surgical methods included short segment internal fixation and long segment internalfixation with or without fusion, and minimally invasive internal fixation. Conclusion The progress in the surgical treatmentof thoracolumbar fracture will help spinal surgeon decide the necessary surgery beneficial for the patients. The most appropriate and effective surgical method with the minimum damage should be used to treat the fracture. The advantages of non-fusion surgical treatment still need a further study.
目的:探讨门静脉高压症(Portal hypertension,PHT)合并胆石症的合理处理方式。方法:回顾分析2003年9月于2008年9月64例PHT合并胆石症患者不同方式手术治疗的结果。根据手术方式不同将64例患者分为三组。A组:仅行胆道手术(n=20);B组:在行PHT手术的同时行胆道手术(n=20);C组:在行PHT手术时对胆囊或胆道结石未作处理(n=24)。结果:死亡率A组10%,B组28.5%,C组4.3%。并发症:A组40%,B组70%,C组25%。结论:PHT合并胆石症无论仅行胆道手术或同期行PHT手术和胆道手术,手术死亡率和术后并发症均显著增加,尤以同期手术为明显。根据患者情况选择正确的手术方式,可有效降低手术风险。
