Objective To summarize the characteristic manifestations in the middle and old aged people with meniscus injury and the outcome of the treatment under the arthroscope. Methods Fifty-two patients, aged 52-58 years, with meniscus injury to a total of 57 knee joints, were diagnosed and treated under the arthroscope. The history of their knee diseases was 1-21 years. Horizontal tearsoccurred in 19 knee joints, degenerative tears in 13 knee joints, complex tears in 9 knee joints, longitudinal tears in 5 knee joints, oblique tears in 4 knee joints, radial tears in 4 knee joints, and flap tears in 3 knee joints. Three meniscus tears were sutured and 54 meniscus tears were cut fully or partly under thearthroscope. Results All the postoperative patients were followed up for 6-15 months, and the average follow-up period after operation was 9 months. According to the DONG Tianxiang’s standards for the therapy under the arthroscope, the excellent result was achieved in 39 knee joints, good in 12 knee joints, and fair in 6 knee joints, with no failure. The excellent and good rate was 89.5%. Conclusion The clinical manifestations of meniscus injury are not typical in the middle and old aged people. The therapeutic effect with the help of the arthroscope is satisfactory with an advantage of minimal traumatic invasiveness to the knee joint.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the operation of benign diseases of the gallbladder in day surgery.MethodThe clinical data of 105 patients underwent the single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the Day Operation Center of Zhengzhou Central Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomies were successfully performed in 105 patients with benign gallbladder diseases, including 65 cases of gallbladder stones, 26 cases of gallbladder polyps, 14 cases of gallbladder adenomyosis; 45 cases of men and 60 cases of women. In all cases, no incision was increased or no case was converted to laparotomy. No bile duct injury and intra-abdominal bleeding happened during the operation. All patients were discharged overnight (no more than 24 h) after the surgery and without delayed discharge and re-admission. The intraoperative blood loss was (10.3±3.5) mL, and the operation time was (55.0±25.5) min (from laparoscopy to gallbladder removal). The postoperative pain score was 1–2 and 0–1 on day 1 and on day 3 after the surgery, respectively. The postoperative incision cosmetic satisfaction score on month 6 after the operation was 4.5±0.5.ConclusionSingle incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible for benign gallbladder disease during day surgery.
