Objective To summarize the clinical therapeutic efficacy of emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC） and emergent open cholecystectomy （OC）. Methods One hundred and thirty-three patients with acute cholecystitis from March 2011 to June 2012 in this hospital were randomly divided into emergent LC （ELC） group and emergent OC （EOC） group. The examination and treatment before and after operation were the same. The clinical data before and during operation， postoperative complications， and recovery conditions were observed and compared. Results There was no obvious difference of the clinical data before operation between the ELC group and EOC group （P＞0.05）. Also， there were no significant differences of the operation time， biliary duct injury rate， postoperative bleeding rate， and reoperation rate in two groups （P＞0.05）. The time of postoperative anal exsufflation， time of out-of-bed activity， and postoperative hospital stay in the ELC group were significantly shorter than those in the EOC group （P＜0.05）， the poor incision healing rate in the ELC group was significantly lower than that in the EOC group （P＜0.05）， and the intraoperative blood loss in the ELC group was significantly less than that in the EOC group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions ELC as compared with EOC， are less intraoperative blood loss， less postoperative complications， more rapid recovery， and do not increase operation time. In a hospital with skilled LC technique， ELC is safe and feasible， has obvious advantages of minimal invasion.
Objective To explore the value of CT guided percutaneous puncture, aspiration and drainage on diagnosis and treatment of local complications of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Forty-three cases of SAP combined with pancreatic necrosis, peripancreatic hydrops, pseudocyst and abscess were analyzed, all of them underwent CT guided percutaneous puncture, aspiration and drainage. Results The punctures were performed on 43 SAP patients for sixty-four times, the success rate was 100%, and in 24 cases of them puncture were performed for diagnosis, the positive rate of fluid absorption by puncture was 100%. Forty-one of 43 cases (95%) received puncture and tube drainage, open operation was performed in one patient, one patient was automatically discharged. The remission rate of abdominal distension was 93% (40/43) and 16 of 43 cases (37%) were turned to open operation. The effective rate of drainage was 61% (25/41). Conclusion The puncture, aspiration and drainage guided by CT is an effective method in diagnosis and treatment of local complications in part of SAP cases.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of early repeated intermittent veno-venous hemofiltration (RIVVH) in treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Sixty-five patients were randomly divided into RIVVH group (35 cases) and control group (30 cases). Symptoms, physical signs, serum concentration of BUN, Cr, AST, ALT, AMS were observed and compared between two groups. The changes of C-reactive protein (CRP) and result of bacteria culture, APACHEⅡ grades and Balthazar CT grades, open-belly surgery rate, complications, mortality rate, average hospital stay and costs were compared between these two groups. Results Two patients died of multiple organ failure in the RIVVH group, with 5.7% mortality rate, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (26.7%, 8/30), P＜0.05. Twenty-four hours after treatment, symptoms and signs were alleviated more in RIVVH group; blood biochemical indicator, oxygenation index and CRP level improved significantly in RIVVH group compared with those in control group （P＜0.05，P＜0.01）. Balthazar CT grades and APACHEⅡ grades decreased significantly after treatment in patients of RIVVH group （P=0.002, P＜0.001）. The hospital stay, costs, open-belly surgery rate, complications rate and infection rate were also significantly lower in RIVVH group comparing with those in control group （P＜0.05, P＜0.001）. Conclusion RIVVH can decrease the mortality rate of SAP with high recovery rate, less cost and shorter hospital stay.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapic efficacy for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) during different periods. MethodsAccording to internalized standard, 234 patients with SAP admitted to this hospital from January 1986 to October 2009 were included, which were divided into two stages based on the time of admitting to this hospital. The first stage named prior operation group was from January 1986 to August 1998 (n=117), the second stage named individual treatment group was from September 1998 to October 2009 (n=117). There was comparability in demography and clinic between two groups. The prior operation group primarily underwent laparotomy and medication, and the individual treatment group underwent multiple combined therapies. These indexes were compared between two groups: hospital stay, cure rate, and mortality; the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic and peripancreatic abscess, pancreatic encephalopathy, cardiac insufficiency, acute renal failure (ARF), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and shock. The efficacies for early treatment, ascites, biliary pancreatitis, and pancreatic and peripancreatic complications were compared two groups by stratified analysis. ResultsCompared with the prior operation group, the hospital stay was shorter (Plt;0.05), cure rate was higher (Plt;0.001), and mortality was lower in the individual treatment group (Plt;0.001). During the treatments, the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic and peripancreatic abscess, pancreatic encephalopathy, cardiac insufficiency, ARF, ARDS, and shock in the individual treatment group were lower than those in the prior operation group (Plt;0.05). According to the stratified analysis, the efficacies for early treatment, ascites, biliary pancreatitis, and pancreatic and peripancreatic complications in the individual treatment group were better than those in the prior operation group (Plt;0.001). ConclusionIn recent years, the change of therapeutic mode significantly improves the treatment efficacy for SAP.
