痔治疗的临床进展研究

痔是肛肠外科最常见的疾病之一,其治疗方式多种多样,尚无统一治疗标准。虽然,痔在临床上以保守治疗为主,但是对于II度以上有症状的痔,手术仍是目前最主要的治疗方式。关于有症状痔最佳治疗方式的争论仍在继续,无论是非手术治疗、传统的痔切除术还是痔的微创手术,都处于不断的改进和探索之中。临床医生总希望能够找到一项理想的具有复发率低、安全可靠、可早期恢复正常活动、术后疼痛轻微甚至无痛的手术方式。随着手术方式的改进和医疗技术的进步,痔的治疗效果也取得了很大的进步。本文就痔的非手术治疗、有创手术治疗以及微创手术治疗作一综述,为痔的临床治疗提供一定的理论依据。     

肝外胆管结石微创治疗的研究进展

肝外胆管结石是肝胆外科临床常见病,严重威胁患者健康。目前该病治疗主要以手术治疗为主,以往的手术方式主要以剖腹胆总管切开取石为主,但创伤较大,恢复较慢,后遗症较多。随着微创技术的发展,腹腔镜、胆道镜及十二指肠镜等微创治疗技术以其创伤小、恢复快等优势越来越多的被肝外胆管结石患者采用。微创治疗肝外胆管结石的方法也日趋多样化,如经消化内镜治疗,经腹腔镜治疗,腹腔镜联合消化内镜治疗及腹腔镜、胆道镜、十二指肠镜三镜联合治疗等。本文就肝外胆管结石治疗中各种微创技术的研究进展做一综述。     

胆囊结石合并胆总管结石现代外科治疗方式探析

：胆石症在消化外科发生率较高,我国发病率约为7％-10％。胆石症以胆囊结石为主,部分可合并胆总管结石。胆石症的既往 主要治疗方式是开腹胆囊切除+胆总管探查+T 管引流术（OC+OCH+TD)。但近年来随着微创外科的不断发展,其治疗模式已有 长足的进步。我国目前用于治疗胆石症尤其是胆囊结石合并胆总管内结石的微创治疗模式包括2 种：阶梯治疗方案：内镜逆行胰 胆管造影(ERCP)／内镜下括约肌切开取石术(EST)+ 二期腹腔镜胆囊切除术(LC),即ERCP／EST+LC;同期治疗方案：LC+ 腹腔 镜胆总管探查术(LCBDE),即LC+LCBDE。本文通过探析两种治疗方案的适应症、禁忌症和并发症,为临床在胆囊结石合并胆总 管结石治疗方法的选择上提供依据。     

Monitoring glucocorticoid response to rehabilitation and research procedures in California and Steller sea lions

We used serum and fecal corticosteroid analysis to study the physiological response to a range of invasive and non-invasive procedures in sea lions. Four experimental groups of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus; Group A: restraint only [n=9], Group B: gas anesthesia without surgery [n=10], Group C: minimally invasive surgery [n=10], and Group D: invasive surgery [n=5]) were monitored for adrenal response. Feces were collected opportunistically from 72 hr before 72 hr post procedure for corticosterone analysis. All experimental groups showed substantial individual variation and no significant change in corticosterone levels after the procedures. Additional fecal and serum corticoid samples were collected from six free-ranging Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in temporary captivity undergoing abdominal implantation of long-term telemetry devices. Only one sea lion exhibited a significant fecal corticosterone increase in response to the surgery. Capture and restraint appear to elicit a greater glucocorticoid response than invasive or non-invasive procedures. J. Exp. Zool. 309A:73-82, 2008. (c) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in Wistar rat's intervertebral disc after experimentally induced scoliotic deformity

Minimally invasive spine surgery is becoming more common in the treatment of adult lumbar degenerative disorders. Minimally invasive techniques have been utilized for multilevel pathology, including adult lumbar degenerative scoliosis. The next logical step is to apply minimally invasive surgical techniques to the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, there are significant technical challenges of performing minimally invasive surgery on this patient population. For more than two years, we have been utilizing minimally invasive spine surgery techniques in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. We have developed the present technique to allow for utilization of all standard reduction maneuvers through three small midline skin incisions. Our technique allows easy passage of contoured rods, placement of pedicle screws without image guidance, and allows adequate facet osteotomy to enable fusion. There are multiple potential advantages of this technique, including: less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, earlier mobilization, and relatively less pain and need for pain medication. The operative time needed to complete this surgery is longer. We feel that a minimally invasive approach, although technically challenging, is a feasible option in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Although there are multiple perceived benefits, long term data is needed before it can be recommended for routine use.     

Chirurgie de l’hyperparathyroïdie primaire en 2008

In recent years, different minimally invasive techniques of parathyroidectomy have been described. The concept of these limited explorations is based on the fact that 85% of patients will have a single-gland disease. Minimally invasive techniques are targeted on one specific parathyroid gland and in most cases the exploration of other glands is not performed. These interventions are today possible for three main reasons: the available imaging techniques permit to localize the diseased gland, the use of rapid intraoperative PTH assay can confirm the successful extirpation, new instrumentation and miniaturized cameras have been adapted for this kind of surgery. Not all patients presenting with primary hyperparathyroidism are candidate for this surgery. Contraindications are mainly due to a large goiter, previous surgery in the parathyroid vicinity, suspicious multiglandular disease and equivocal preoperative localization studies. Currently 60% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism can benefit of these techniques. Studies comparing conventional parathyroid surgery to minimally-invasive techniques have shown a diminution of postoperative pain and better cosmetic results with minimally-invasive techniques. If early results are similar to those obtained with conventional parathyroidectomies, it is still too soon to evaluate what will be the recurrence rate of these new techniques. One can expect that minimally invasive and conventional parathyroid surgery will probably turn out to be complementary in the near future.     

Cannulation of the middle cardiac vein during MICS

Coronary sinus cannulation for retrograde cardioplegia administration during cardiac surgery is common practice. Several of the cannulas that are placed by the cardiac surgeon on open procedures are now placed by the cardiac anesthesiologist during minimally invasive cardiac surgery, including the coronary sinus catheter. The understanding of the cardiac venous anatomy is very important during coronary sinus catheter placement. We present a case where a percutaneously placed coronary sinus catheter was inadvertently placed into the middle cardiac vein but detected with the use of fluoroscopy.     

Minimally invasive surgery. Future developments.

The rapid development of minimally invasive surgery means that there will be fundamental changes in interventional treatment. Technological advances will allow new minimally invasive procedures to be developed. Application of robotics will allow some procedures to be done automatically, and coupling of slave robotic instruments with virtual reality images will allow surgeons to perform operations by remote control. Miniature motors and instruments designed by microengineering could be introduced into body cavities to perform operations that are currently impossible. New materials will allow changes in instrument construction, such as use of memory metals to make heat activated scissors or forceps. With the reduced trauma associated with minimally invasive surgery, fewer operations will require long hospital stays. Traditional surgical wards will become largely redundant, and hospitals will need to cope with increased through-put of patients. Operating theatres will have to be equipped with complex high technology equipment, and hospital staff will need to be trained to manage it. Conventional nursing care will be carried out more in the community. Many traditional specialties will be merged, and surgical training will need fundamental revision to ensure that surgeons are competent to carry out the new procedures.     

Collecting Saliva and Measuring Salivary Cortisol and Alpha-amylase in Frail Community Residing Older Adults via Family Caregivers

Salivary measures have emerged in bio-behavioral research that are easy-to-collect, minimally invasive, and relatively inexpensive biologic markers of stress. This article we present the steps for collection and analysis of two salivary assays in research with frail, community residing older adults-salivary cortisol and salivary alpha amylase. The field of salivary bioscience is rapidly advancing and the purpose of this presentation is to provide an update on the developments for investigators interested in integrating these measures into research on aging. Strategies are presented for instructing family caregivers in collecting saliva in the home, and for conducting laboratory analyses of salivary analytes that have demonstrated feasibility, high compliance, and yield quality specimens. The protocol for sample collection includes: (1) consistent use of collection materials; (2) standardized methods that promote adherence and minimize subject burden; and (3) procedures for controlling certain confounding agents. We also provide strategies for laboratory analyses include: (1) saliva handling and processing; (2) salivary cortisol and salivary alpha amylase assay procedures; and (3) analytic considerations.     

Design and application of compliant mechanisms for surgical tools

This paper introduces the benefits of exploiting elasticity in the engineering design of surgical tools, in general, and of minimally invasive procedures, in particular. Compliant mechanisms are jointless mechanisms that rely on elastic deformation to transmit forces and motion. The lack of traditional joints in these single-piece flexible structures offers many benefits, including the absence of wear debris, pinch points, crevices, and lubrication. Such systems are particularly amenable to embedded sensing for haptic feedback and embedded actuation with active-material actuators. The paper provides an overview of design synthesis methods developed at the Compliant Systems Design Laboratory and focuses specifically on surgical applications. Compliant systems have potential to integrate. well within the constraints of laparoscopic procedures and telerobotic surgery. A load-path representation is used within a genetic algorithm to solve two gripper example problems. In addition, the paper illustrates the design and construction of an organ (kidney) manipulator for use in minimally invasive procedures.     

A completely detachable aortic clamping instrument for minimally invasive cardiac surgery

A minimally invasive cardiac surgery is becoming more popular and is still undergoing a refinement of surgical techniques and dedicated instrumentarium as well. New specifically designed instruments are quintessence of safe surgery with improving operative outcomes and comfortable operator-oriented working conditions. In this article, we attempt to present our early clinical experience with a new aortic clamping instrument specifically developed for limited single-access minimally invasive valve surgery.     

Lateral canthal anchoring

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the principles involved in canthal support for patients undergoing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. 2. Understand the variations in surgical techniques required to perform canthal anchoring in differing patients. 3. Describe the significance and techniques of canthal anchoring (canthoplasty and canthopexy) as they relate to cosmetic and reconstructive lower lid surgery. 4. Describe the effect of canthal anchoring on the function of the upper and lower lids and eyelid fissure shape. Any surgeon performing cosmetic or reconstructive surgery procedures on the lower lid or midface through the lower lid should be comfortable with canthal anchoring procedures. Appropriate canthal anchoring is effective in preventing postoperative lower-lid malposition, in ensuring eyelid closure, and in improving or maintaining proper eye shape. In many patients, a canthopexy (nonlysis canthal anchoring) is effective. However, in patients with significant horizontal laxity, cantholysis with appropriate lid shortening is required. It should be remembered that canthal anchoring, no matter how well performed, will not prevent severe lower-lid complications in cases of over-resection of lower-lid skin and of poorly performed midface procedures that do not support the lower lid and cheek.     

Refinement of intrathymic injection in mice

Direct intrathymic injection is a common procedure used in several types of experimental protocols in the mouse. Currently available approaches involve major surgical procedures that expose the thoracic cavity, resulting in an increased risk of poor recovery and postsurgical complications. The authors sought to refine this surgery to reduce animal pain and distress without compromising overall efficiency of the technique. Using a minimally invasive method that does not expose the thoracic cavity, the authors gave accurately placed intrathymic injections, as confirmed by analyses with a reporter dye. They describe this new approach for intrathymic injection in mice that reduces complications associated with lengthy periods of anesthesia and thoracic cavity exposure.

Reconstruction after conservative treatment for breast cancer: cosmetic sequelae classification revisited

Patients with suboptimal results following breast conservative therapy are presenting more frequently to plastic surgeons as a difficult management problem. A three-type "cosmetic sequelae classification" is proposed to evaluate and manage these patients. From February of 1991 to November of 2001, 85 patients were treated for cosmetic sequelae of breast conservative therapy at the Institut Curie. The patients were followed up prospectively for 6 to 132 months (median, 33 months). They were assessed with regard to age, site and stage of tumor, type of initial breast conservative therapy undertaken, corrective operative procedures performed, complications, and cosmetic results. Forty-eight patients (56.5 percent) had type 1 cosmetic sequelae, 33 patients (38.8 percent) had type 2, and four patients (4.7 percent) had type 3. Type 1 was managed by contralateral symmetrizing procedures. Type 2 was the most difficult to manage by means of various procedures. Type 3 required mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. Type 1 had 97.6 percent good results compared with 82.7 percent for type 2. Three of the four type 3 patients had good results. This article reaffirms the validity of the cosmetic sequelae classification as a simple, practical guide for breast reconstructive surgeons. It discusses the various choices of reconstructive procedures available, the importance of preventing these cosmetic sequelae, and the role of the plastic surgeon in the planning of conservative treatment of breast cancers.     

Comparing minimally invasive funnel chest repair versus the conventional technique: an outcome analysis in children

Surgical correction of pectus excavatum in children has gained new momentum since the introduction of the new minimally invasive repair by Nuss. To date, no studies directly evaluate the outcome of the new technique versus that of the conventional technique. From 2000 to 2002, 28 patients underwent pectus excavatum correction in the authors' hospital. Twenty-one were treated by minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum and seven patients had open correction. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, clinical outcome, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. In the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum group, the children were younger (14.4 +/- 2.9 versus 17.8 +/- 3.2 years), had shorter operation times (53 +/- 18 versus 125 +/- 6 minutes), and had less blood loss (minimal versus 380 +/- 175 ml). No intraoperative complications were recorded. In the conventional group, two pleural lacerations occurred. Early postoperative complications in the minimally invasive repair group included two pneumothoraces and one case of pleural effusion. In the conventional group, one pneumothorax and one case of pleural effusion occurred. Late postoperative complications in the Nuss group included one costal erosion, two bar dislocations, one severe wound infection requiring bar removal, one hematothorax, and one case of postpericardiotomy syndrome; in the conventional group, there was one severe wound infection. In both groups, the patients rated their cosmetic results as good to very good. Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum is a novel method with clear advantages, such as limited surgical trauma and small scars. The high rate of postoperative complications may decrease with growing experience in the future. In well-selected patients (age, symmetric deformity), the Nuss procedure may become the method of choice. However, there is still a lack of long-term follow-up.

The role of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis in cosmetic surgery

An estimated 2.7 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States in 1998, yet the role of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis for cosmetic surgery is not clearly defined. Routine antibiotic prophylaxis for cosmetic procedures was discontinued by the senior author at the authors' institution in an effort to reduce use and cost in June of 1999. Subsequently, a cluster of four Staphylococcus aureus postoperative surgical site infections were identified. A case-control study to identify risk factors for surgical site infections in these patients was performed. All patients who underwent cosmetic surgical procedures by the senior author during June of 1999 and did not develop a surgical site infection were selected as control patients. Four case patients and 12 control patients were included in the study. The significant risk factors associated with surgical site infections were the mean duration of procedure (5 hours versus 2 hours; p = 0.02), general anesthesia (p = 0.004), and placement of a Blake drain (p = 0.004). No common source of infection was identified by review and observation of surgical technique. Pulse-field gel analysis of the S. aureus isolates from the four case patients and the nares of surgical personnel revealed no common strain. After the reinstitution of preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis with cefazolin for procedures anticipated to last 3 hours or longer, no additional surgical site infections were identified through December of 1999 (four of 29 versus none of 104; p = 0.002). It was concluded that targeted antibiotic prophylaxis for cosmetic surgery with cefazolin may be useful in reducing surgical site infections attributable to S. aureus.

Automated knot tying for fixation in minimally invasive, robot-assisted cardiac surgery

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is perhaps the most significant worldwide health issue. While open-heart surgery remains the predominant treatment, significant advancements have been made in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and minimally invasive robot-assisted (MIRA) surgery. MIRA techniques offer many advantages over open-heart procedures and have extended the capabilities of MIS. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased operating times due to time spent tying knots. The additional bypass time limits patient access and is the most significant barrier to the adoption of MIRA techniques. This research seeks to overcome this barrier by designing a device for MIRA cardiac procedures that automates the knotting of sutures. If this task can be automated while ensuring the delivery of high-quality knots, great progress can be made in transforming the field. MIRA cardiac procedures can move from novel procedures performed by a select group of surgeons on a limited pool of patients to a viable alternative available to the majority of patients with CVD. In this research we propose a design for a self-contained device that delivers a locking knot. Results suggest that consistent knots can be delivered at a time savings of 12.5% and 26.4% over manual knots for trained and untrained users of a surgical robot, respectively.
