Objective To investigate the morphological anatomical abnormal ities of high congenital dislocation of hip in adults and provide anatomical basis for the total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods From May 1997 to July 2008, 49 patients (57 hi ps) with high congenital dislocation of hip (Hartofilakidis type III) were treated. There were 6 males and 43 females with an average age of 29.4 years old (18-56 years old). The locations were left in 24 hi ps and right in 33 hi ps. The morphological parameters (including femoral length, isthmus, height of femoral head center, neck-shaft angle, medialhead offset, anteversion angle, canal flare index, anteroposterior diameter of the true acetabulum, posterior thickness of the true acetabulum, depth of the true acetabulum) of suffering hips (dislocation group, n=57) were measured by preoperative X-ray, CT and intraoperative cl inical observation and were compared with those of contralateral hips (control group, n=41). The intraoperative situations of hip were observed. Results The height of dislocation was (45.41 ± 2.15) mm. The length difference of both lower extremities was (40.41 ± 2.02) mm. In dislocation group, isthmus was shortened; height of femoral head center, neck-shaft angle and medial head offset were decreased; and anteversion angle was increased. CT showed that the canal flare index was larger than 4.7, femoral shape was funnel-shaped according to Noble classification. Anteroposterior diameter of the true acetabulum became smaller, posterior thickness of the true acetabulum became thicker, and depth of the true acetabulum was shallower. There were statistically significant differences in the morphological parameters of femur and acetabulum between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The intraoperative measurements showed that the anteroposterior diameter of acetabulum was (32.98 ± 1.02) mm and the depth of acetabulum was (14.21 ± 0.56) mm. There was no statistically significant difference between intraoperative measurements and preoperative measurements (P gt; 0.05). The acetabulum was full of fat and fibrous tissues. Running of the sciatic nerve in 40 cases were changed and it ran upward and laterally. Conclusion When high congenital dislocation of the hip in adults is treated with THA, anatomical variation must be fully taken into account. The acetabulum is expanded toward posterosuperior, excessive reamed should be avoided to prevent femoral fractures, and appropriate or tailor-made prosthesis was selected.
Objective To explore the operative managements of ectopic gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods Twenty one cases of ectopic gallbladder undergone LC in this hospital were analyzed regarding the perioperative management, principle, and technique of operation.Results There were 2 cases of situs transversus, 1 case with gallbladder under right posterior lobe of liver, 2 under left lateral lobe of liver and 16 in the liver. All 21 cases of ectopic gallbladder had undergone LC successfully, and no complications were found during and after operation. Conclusion Anatomic ectopia of gallbladder tosses a challenging problem to laparoscopic surgeon. It is safe for surgeons to recognise actual anatomical anomaly and to manage them appropriately.
Objective To explore anatomical features and variation of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve and to summarize identification method, operation skill, and damage treatment experience of it. Method The clinical data of 15 patients with non-recurrent laryngeal nerve in 4 054 patients who underwent thyroidectomy from our division by the same medical group from January 2006 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 6 626 recurrent laryngeal nerve (left side 3 248, right side 3 378) were exposed in 4 054 cases. Fifteen patients with non-recurrent laryngeal nerve were detected with an incidence of 0.23% (15/6 626), all located on the right side. There were 3 males and 12 females. There were 3 cases of type Ⅰ, 10 cases of type Ⅱa, 2 cases of type Ⅱb. And 2 patients with non-recurrent laryngeal nerve were injured. Conclusions Incidence of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve is lower, most of which occur on right side of neck, there is a high injury rate for its special anatomical location. It’s key to prevent nerve injury for careful interpreting preoperative auxiliary examination results and improving awareness of non-recurrent laryngeal nerve, fining dissection, conventional exposuring recurrent laryngeal nerve, and accurate using nerve monitor during operation.
