Objective To explore the incidence of postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia and its related risk factors. Methods The clinical data of 213 patients with abdominal incisional hernia treated in the General Surgery of Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were collected retrospectively, and the incidence of postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia and its related influencing factors were analyzed. Results A total of 213 patients underwent a complete follow-up. The follow-up time was 3 to 60 months, and the median follow-up time was 46 months. A total of 24 cases (11.27%) of hernia recurred after surgery. The univariate analysis results showed that body mass index (BMI), hernia ring size, incarceration, recurrent hernia, history of multiple abdominal operations, postoperative incision complications, factors such as increased abdominal pressure, and whether the patch were used for postoperative recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia influences (P<0.05). Further logistic multi-factor analysis results showed that BMI [OR=1.14, 95%CI (1.01, 1.29), P=0.040], incarcerated hernia [OR=8.94, 95%CI (1.94, 40.98), P=0.005], recurrent hernia [OR=10.91, 95%CI (2.09, 56.84), P=0.005], and hernia ring size [OR=1.15, 95%CI (1.03, 1.28), P=0.010] were related to the recurrence of abdominal incisional hernia after surgery (P<0.05). Conclusions The risk factors for hernia recurrence after abdominal incisional hernia repair include recurrent hernia, incarcerated hernia, hernia ring size, and BMI. For patients with high-risk factors, corresponding measures should be taken to prevent hernia recurrence.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above) after laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of CRC patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria treated in the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to explore the risk factors of perioperative severe complications after the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ResultsAtotal of 170 eligible patients were included in this study, and the postoperative complications occurred in 45 patients, 24 of whom were severe complications. The univariate analysis results showed that the age (P<0.001), body mass index (BMI, P=0.047), age adjusted Charlson complication index (aCCI) score (P=0.002), American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (P<0.001), prognostic nutritional index (PNI, P=0.011), preoperative anemia (P=0.011), operation numbers of surgeon (P=0.003), and operation time (P=0.026) were related to the perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. The statistic indexes of univariate analysis (P<0.05) combined with indexes of clinical significance were included in the multivariate analysis, the results showed that the ASA classification Ⅲ– Ⅳ (OR=3.536, P=0.027), BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (OR=3.228, P=0.031), preoperative anemia (OR=2.876, P=0.049), operation numbers of surgeon <300 (OR=0.324, P=0.046), and the operation time ≥300 min (OR=3.480, P=0.020) increased the probability of perioperative severe complications in the patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of CRC. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that clinicians should pay attention to the perioperative management of patients with CRC, such as adequately evaluating the preoperative status of patients by ASA classification, PNI, and aCCI to adjust the malnutrition of patients; after operation, the patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and operation time more than 300 min should be paid more attention. At the same time, the surgeon should continuously accumulate the operation numbers and improve the operation proficiency so as to reduce the occurrence of perioperative severe complications after laparoscopic radical resection of CRC.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors affecting the postoperative ileus after total gastrectomy in elderly patients with gastric cancer. MethodsThe elderly patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy admitted to the Second Department of General Surgery of Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected and the postoperative ileus was analyzed. Meanwhile the risk factors affecting the postoperative ileus after total gastrectomy in the elderly patients with gastric cancer were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logtistic regression analyses. ResultsA total of 306 elderly patients with gastric cancer who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study were collected, 33 (10.8%) of whom suffered the postoperative ileus after surgery. The results of multivariate logtistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative anemia [OR (95%CI)=2.740 (1.181, 6.356), P=0.019], preoperative complicated intestinal obstruction [OR (95%CI)=3.286 (1.208, 8.935), P=0.020], open operation [OR (95%CI)=3.753 (1.298, 10.848), P=0.015], and operative time ≥400 min [OR (95%CI)=3.902 (1.705, 8.925), P=0.001] increased the risk probability of postoperative ileus after total gastrectomy in the elderly patients with gastric cancer. ConclusionsAccording to the analysis results of this study, the preoperative anemia and complicated intestinal obstruction, as well as the adopted open surgery and operation time ≥400 min are the risk factors of postoperative ileus in elderly patients with gastric cancer after total gastrectomy. When total gastrectomy is chosen for elderly patients with gastric cancer, preoperative physical status needs to be adjusted, such as correcting anemia and removing preoperative intestinal obstruction. During operation, the operation modus should be prior to the minimally invasive surgery according to the individual conditions of elderly patients and the operation skills of surgeons should be improved so as to reduce postoperative ileus.
