ObjectiveTo investigate the occurrence and treatment of postoperative complications after laparoscopic laparoscopic pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPPPD) or pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). MethodThe clinical data of 130 patients undergoing LPD from October 2010 to December 2015 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsOf 130 patients, postoperative complications occurred in 55 cases, including 24 cases of pancreatic fistula, 14 cases of gastric emptying disorder, 3 cases of anastomotic bleeding, 6 cases of peritoneal infection, 1 case of bile leakage, 1 case of venous thrombosis, 1 case of chylous leakage, 5 cases of peritoneal effusion, without the occurrence of stress ulcer and incision complications. There were significant difference in the incidence of pancreatic fistula (P=0.025), gastric emptying disorder (P=0.034), anastomotic bleeding (P=0.020), and peritoneal infection (P=0.016) among prophase group, metaphase group, and the later stage group. ConclusionsThe most common complication after LPD is pancreatic fistula. With the improvement of surgical techniques and procedures, incidences of some postoperative complications decreases gradually.
In response to the structural contradiction between the supply and demand of medical resources, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University focuses on optimizing resource allocation, improving service accessibility and patient medical experience, aiming to solve problems such as rigid resource allocation and high emergency turnover pressure through measures such as reforming bed management mode and strengthening emergency patient treatment. After the implementation of the reform, the medical efficiency and case mix index have improved, the average length of hospital stay has been shortened, and the level of patient satisfaction has been increasing year by year. However, the paradox of emergency volume-effectiveness suggests the need to further strengthen the ability to allocate dynamic resources. This article summarizes the specific measures, work effectiveness, and future plans, in order to provide references for the transformation of service models in large general hospitals.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical resection for the second and the third hepatic portal tumor. Methods The clinical data of 39 patients who underwent surgical resection of the second and the third hepatic portal tumor were analyzed from May 2012 to May 2017 in our hospital. Among them, there were 29 patients with primary liver cancer, 6 patients with hepatic hemangioma, 2 patients with focal liver hyperplasia, and 2 patients with liver metastasis from colon cancer. Results Right liver resection was performed in 11 patients, left liver resection in 7 patients, left outer lobe resection in 6 patients, right trefoil excision in 5 patients, Ⅴand Ⅷ segment resection in 4 patients, Ⅶ and Ⅷ segment resection in 4 patients, local resection in 2 patients. In the resection, there were 16 patients without interruption of hepatic inflow, 21 patients with interrupted portal blood flow, 2 patients with total hepatic blood flow occlusion. The operative time of the 39 patients was 150–270 min (mean of 190 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 100–2 000 mL (mean of 680 mL). Postoperative bile leakage occurred in 2 patients, bleeding occurred in 1 patient, and no liver failure occurred. Twenty-six patients were followed-up of 31 liver cancer patients, and the follow-up time was 3–40 months, the median time was 8 months. During follow-up period, 12 patients died, 9 patients died of tumor recurrence, 3 patients died from liver failure. Of 8 patients, 5 patients with benign liver disease were followed-up for 7–18 months with living healthy, and the median time was 9 months. Conclusion The risk of surgical resection of tumors invaded the second and the third hepatic portal is mainly the accurate functional assessment of residual liver and the correct treatment of the main branches of the hepatic veins.
Objective To construct an information hospital service system and discuss the application effect of information construction in the hospital service center. Methods Patients admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University between June 2022 and January 2023 were selected. We innovatively practiced intelligent safety gate, self-appointment admission registration, pre-hospital examination and advance migration, pre-hospital health education, an age-appropriate transformation of information service, and other information service measures to investigate the medical experience of patients, and compared patients’ satisfaction with medical treatment under four admission management methods (Huayitong APP, WeChat, self-service machine, and manual management). Results A total of 1452 patients were surveyed. The overall satisfaction score for medical treatment of patients was (4.98±0.04) points. Among them, Huayitong APP was (4.99±0.03) points, WeChat was (4.98±0.13) points, self-service machine was (4.97±0.05) points, and manual treatment was (4.92±0.11) points. There was a statistically significant difference between groups in overall satisfaction with different admission procedures (F=68.582, P<0.001). Since the information construction of the hospital admission service center was carried out, the average time of admission was (12.4±2.3) minutes, and 89.4% (1 298/1 452) of patients thought the time of admission was ideal. Conclusions The information construction of a hospital admission service center can effectively improve patients’ medical experience and enhance patient satisfaction. In the future, it is necessary to explore the influencing factors of patients’ satisfaction with information construction, and constantly improve and upgrade the information construction of hospital admission service centers.
Objective To understand the effect and influencing factors of humanistic care on improving the experience of inpatients. Methods Patients were collected from a third grade class A women’s and children’s hospital in June 2015 and June 2016, and their satisfaction was investigated by a third party. The service items of Inpatients Satisfaction Item Score Table in 2015 were analyzed. Appropriate intervention measures were taken to low-score items, such as humanistic knowledge training to all medical staff, improvement health guidelines, implementation of recycling process, carrying out high quality nursing interventions, and so on. The patients satisfaction survey results in 2016 were compared with those of 2015. Results In 2016, the total satisfaction rate (89.94%), and the average score of items ranked the top three (94.64±0.14), including the level of medical technology, medical ethics and the overall evaluation of doctor’s professional ehtics, medical communication and service attitude, were higher than those of 2015 (85.25, 90.86±1.53). The average score of items ranked the last three (89.25±9.21), including hospital ward, hospital environment (clean, quiet and safe), hospital meals and room service, and hospital food quality, was higher than that of 2015 (78.64±2.40). However, compared with the same period in the last year, the rank of hospital environment fell by two places. Conclusions Hardware conditions like physical environment have an important impact on the experience of hospital patients. However, humanistic care is the key factor to improve the patients’ inpatient experience and satisfaction.
