【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore selective criteria of sphincter preservation operation (SPO) for middle to low third rectal cancer, and analyze clinicopathologic parameters resulting in the selective criteria. MethodsTwo hundred and seventynine cases of middle to low third rectal cancer who accepted operative treatment from 1996 to 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. One hundred and eightyseven rectal tumours were located in 5-10 cm from anus, 92 rectal tumours in below 5 cm from anus. Among them 127 cases were treated by abdominalperineal resection (APR), and 152 cases were treated by SPO in which there were 130 Dixon operations, 12 Bacon operations, and 10 Parks operations. Clinicopathologic parameters and survival rate in APR and SPO groups were compared statistically. ResultsGender, age, size, tumor types, site of tumor, degree of differentiation, infiltrated circumference of intestine, and lymph node metastasis, depth of invasion and Dukes stages were not significantly different between APR and SPO groups. SPO performed rate was 54.48% in all. SPO was performed in 48 lower third rectal cancer cases (52.17%, 48/92). Regional recurrence rate was 6.81% （19/279）.Middle survival time was （65.00±6.87）months and 5year survival rate was 63.51% in SPO group. Middle survival time was （52.23±5.63） months and 5year survival rate was 52.50% in APR group. ChiSuqare was 18.14 by Logrank test (P=0.054 1). ConclusionThere is no statistically difference in survival rate between APR and SPO groups.
ObjectiveTo analyze the relation between preoperative staging and surgical decision-making in rectal cancer patients from the West China Colorectal Cancer Database (DACCA) and to identify key factors influencing the selection of surgical approach. MethodsBased on the updated DACCA dataset as of April 24, 2024, the patients with rectal cancer were included. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the correlation between preoperative staging [(y)cTNM stage] and the selection of sphincter-preserving surgery or intersphincteric resection (ISR). Additional factors, including age, body mass index (BMI), tumor location, and nutritional score, were assessed for their impact on surgical choices. ResultsA total of 2 733 rectal cancer patients were included. Preoperative (y)cTNM staging distribution was as follows: 23 (0.8%) at stage 0, 388 (14.2%) at stage Ⅰ, 760 (27.8%) at stage Ⅱ, 873 (31.9%) at stage Ⅲ, and 689 (25.2%) at stage Ⅳ. The preoperative stage Ⅱ–Ⅳ were the independent risk factors for both the choices of sphincter-preserving surgery and ISR [stage Ⅱ: sphincter-preserving surgery: OR(95%CI)=13.634 (4.952, 37.540), P<0.001; ISR: OR (95%CI)=3.097 (2.108, 4.551), P<0.001. stage Ⅲ: sphincter-preserving surgery: OR (95%CI)=14.677 (5.339, 40.345), P<0.001; ISR: OR (95%CI)=2.985 (2.042, 4.363), P<0.001. stage Ⅳ: OR (95%CI)=25.653 (9.320, 70.610), P<0.001; ISR: OR (95%CI)=4.445 (3.015, 6.555), P<0.001]. The low/ultra-low tumor location was an independent risk factor for choice of sphincter-preserving surgery [OR (95%CI)=2.038 (1.489, 2.791), P<0.001], but which was an independent protective factor for the choice of ISR [OR (95%CI)=0.013 (0.009, 0.019), P<0.001]. ConclusionsResults of this study are consistent with clinical practice, indicating that preoperative staging is the core basis for surgical decision-making in rectal cancer. With the progression of staging, patients are more inclined to choose non-sphincter-preserving and non-ISR procedures. Although low/ultralow tumors pose great challenges for anal preservation, the proportion of ISR selection remains relatively high. The anatomical location of the tumor and nutritional status also significantly affect surgical selection, necessitating comprehensive preoperative evaluation.
The incidence of rib fracture in patients with chest trauma is about 70%. Simple rib fractures do not need special treatment. Multiple rib fractures and flail chest are critical cases of blunt trauma, which often cause serious clinical consequences and need to be treated cautiously. Nowadays, there is a controversy about the diagnosis and treatment of multiple rib fractures and flail chest. In the past, most of the patients were treated by non-operative treatment, and only less than 1% of the patients with flail chest underwent surgery. In recent years, studies have confirmed that surgical reduction and internal fixation can shorten the hospital stay, and reduce pain and cost for patients with flail chest, but there is still a lack of relevant clinical consensus and guidelines for diagnosis and treatment, which leads to great differences in clinical diagnosis and treatment plans. This article reviewed the treatment, surgical indications and surgical timing of multiple rib fractures and flail chest.

ObjectiveTo discuss the pattern of lymph node metastasis for Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and its appropriate surgical approach. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 162 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who underwent curative resection in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2007 through February 2010. The patients were divided into three groups based on their surgical approach, including 96 patients in a left thoracic group, 20 patients in an Ivor-Lewis group and 46 patients in an abdominal group. ResultsThere were 120 patients with lymph node metastasis. The lymph node metastatic rate was 74.1%. Simple thoracic lymph node metastasis was observed only in 2 patients (1.7%), 98 patients (81.7%) with simple abdominal lymph node metastasis, and 20 patients (16.6%) with both capacity lymph node metastasis. The thoracic approaches had an advantage in dissection lower mediastinal lymph node over the abdominal approach, while for the abdominal lymph node the result was reversed. There are 11 groups of lymph node with a more than 10% metastatic rate. ConclusionsThe abdominal lymph nodes are the dominating metastatic area of Siewert type Ⅱ AEG, but some important groups of lower mediastinal lymph node should be removed. In terms of curative resection of tumor, the Ivor-Lewis operated by a thoracic surgeon who is more familiar with the abdominal lymph node may be a reasonable choice.
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.
