Methods: Seventy-five patients admitted to our Department of Trauma Surgery from June 2022 to April 2024 who underwent rib fracture osteotomy and internal fixation were selected. According to the types of drainage tubes left in the patients after the operation, they were divided into the observation group (35 cases who were left with disposable grooved negative pressure drainage tubes) and the control group (40 cases who were left with closed silicone thoracic drainage tubes). Comparison of chest drainage, pain, postoperative complications, secondary chest penetration rate, drain placement time, hospitalization time, and treatment costs were compared between the two groups. Results: The total postoperative chest drainage volume of the observation group was less than that of the control group (P < 0.05);the degree of pain, the incidence of postoperative complications, and the rate of secondary chest puncture in the observation group were lower than that of the control group three days after the operation (P < 0.05);and the time of drain placement in the observation group was shorter than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of disposable grooved negative pressure drainage tubes in rib fracture incision and internal fixation can significantly improve patients’ postoperative pain and discomfort, reduce complications, lower the rate of secondary chest penetration, promote patients’ postoperative recovery, decrease the amount of postoperative chest drainage, and shorten the time of drain placement, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.展开更多

But anastomotic leakage is one of the most serious complications following laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether transanal drainage tube placement can reduce anastomotic leakage and avoid re-operation after laparoscopic LAR. Methods: Retrospective assessment was performed on 143 patients with rectal cancers who underwent laparoscopic LAR between April 2009 and March 2016. A diverting stoma was not created in all 143 patients. A transanal drainage tube was placed after anastomosis using a double stapling technique, in 90 patients (group TT). In group TT, a 24 Fr. Silicon catheter was inserted into the anus and was placed approximately 20 - 25 cm in the descending colon. Another 53 patients were operated on without a transanal drainage tube (group NTT). Clinicopathological and operative variables, the frequencies of anastomotic leakage and re-operation after leakage were investigated. Results: Between the two groups (Group TT and NTT), age, gender, body mass index, tumor size, Dukes’ stage, the number of Liniar stapler firings for rectal transaction, and the rate of left colic artery preservation were comparable. Intra-operative blood loss and operation time decreased group TT from group NTT (p < 0.05). The frequency of leakage was 2.8% (2/69) in group TT and was 13.2% (7/53) in group NTT. The rate of leakage was significantly lower in group TT (p = 0.03). Furthermore, the re-operation rate for symptomatic anastomotic leakage was 0% (0/2) in group TT, while in contrast it was 28.5% (2/7) in group NTT. The rate of re-operation was lower in group TT than group NTT (p = 0.07) and all cases with symptomatic leakage in group TT were cured by conservative treatment. There was no side effect of transanal drainage tube (perforation or bleeding of the colon, or deviation of the tube) in Group TT. Conclusions: Transanal drainage tube placement prevents anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic LAR. We regard the transnanal drainage tube to be safe and effective without side effect.展开更多

Postoperative parameters were observed like time to return of bowel sounds, time to start enteral feeds, time to start oral feeds, daily output of all drains, time to clamping/removal of all drains, time for skin to heal, complications, hospital stay, and, mortality. Descriptive statistics were used.RESULTSBetween December 2013 and April 2015, 20 patients undergoing TTD for GDP were included, with mean age of 44.6 ± 19.8 years and male:female ratio of 17:3. Mean pre-operative APACHE II scores were 10.85 ± 3.55; most GDPs were prepyloric (9/20; 45%) or proximal duodenal (8/20; 40%) and mean size was 1.83 ± 0.59 cm (largest 2.5 cm). Median times of resumption of enteral feeding, removal of gastrostomy, removal of duodenostomy, removal of feeding jejunostomy and oral feeding were 4 d (4-5 IQR), 13 (12-16.5 IQR), 16 (16.25-22.25 IQR), 18 (16.5-24 IQR) and 12 d (10.75-18.5 IQR) respectively. Median hospital stay was 22 d (19-26 IQR) while mortality was 4/20 (20%).CONCLUSIONTTD for difficult GDP is feasible, easy in the emergency, and patients recover in two-three weeks. It obviates the need for technically demanding and riskier procedures.展开更多

Dislodgement of thoracostomy tube from the connection tube of chest drainage system is an important problem with potential complications such as contamination, infection and pneumothorax. Besides, mere loosening can also lead to malfunction. It is a common practice to tape the connection of the system. This study aimed to evaluate the materials and methods of connection of chest drain system to minimize drainage dislodgement. METHODS: We conducted an experimental study to assess the tightness of the connection with various taping materials and methods. We selected three commonly used adhesive materials(3M^(tm) Transpore^(tm) Medical tape, 3M^(tm) Micropore^(tm) Medical tape, 3M^(tm) Soft Cloth Tape on Liner) and three different methods(cross method, straight method, nylon band) to secure the junction between the thoracostomy tube and the bi-conical adaptor in the drainage system. The measured outcome was the weight causing visible loosening of the junction between thoracotomy tube and the adaptor.RESULTS: For each taping material and taping method, 10 trials were performed. The median weight required to disconnect the junction is 26.22 lb for Transpore^(tm), 31.29 lb for Micropore^(tm) and 32.44 lb for Soft Cloth Tape on Liner. A smaller force was required to disconnect if Transpore^(tm) is used(P<0.001). There was no statistical signifi cant difference between Micropore^(tm) and Soft Cloth Tape on Liner(P=0.98). The median disconnecting force is 32.44 lb for straight taping method, 40.55 lb for cross taping method and 21.15 lb for plastic band. The cross-taping method was the more secure method(P<0.0001 when compared with plastic band)(P=0.033 when compared with straight method).CONCLUSION: Cross-taping is the most secure method among the tested varieties in connecting the thoracostomy tube to the chest drainage system. Transpore^(tm) is not a recommended material for thoracostomy tube taping.展开更多

Methods Seventy-three patients with MLBO from the clinical unit underwent SEMS (n = 51) or TDT (n = 22) placement from 2012 to 2017. The success rates of placement, clinical outcomes after decompression, complications, the time to resuming enteral nutrition (EN), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scoring and the following-up therapeutic options were investigated. Results Technical success were achieved in 100% of patients in both groups. The clinical success rates were 98.0%(50/51) for SEMS and 95.5%(21/22) for TDT. No perforation was found in any group, while 3.9%(2/51) in the SEMS and 18.2%(4/22) in TDT group experienced displacement (P = 0.26). It took 2.1 IQR (0~2) days and 3 IQR (2~5) days to resume EN in the SEMS and TDT groups, respectively (P < 0.001). The KPS scores were significantly higher in patients implanted with SEMS (70, IQR 50~80) than in those with TDT (35, IQR 30~50)(P < 0.001). In the SEMS group, 37.3%(19/51) of patients underwent stenting as a bridge to surgery, 9.8%(5/51) for chemotherapy only and 52.9%(27/51) for palliation, while 40.9%(9/22), 0 and 59.1%(13/22) underwent placement for these reasons in the TDT group, respectively. The majority (6/9) of the patients who underwent TDT placement as a bridge to surgery required stoma creation, while only 31.6%(6/19) of those in the SEMS group needed a stoma (P = 0.080). In addition, anastomotic leakage was only found in the TDT group (2/9)(P = 0.10). Conclusion Both SEMS and TDT placement could provide clinical relief for MLBO. However, SEMS placement is associated with earlier EN, fewer complications, and benefits for the postoperative quality-of-life.展开更多

METHODS: We conducted an experimental study to assess the tightness of the connection with various taping materials and methods. We selected three commonly used adhesive materials(3M^(tm) Transpore^(tm) Medical tape, 3M^(tm) Micropore^(tm) Medical tape, 3M^(tm) Soft Cloth Tape on Liner) and three different methods(cross method, straight method, nylon band) to secure the junction between the thoracostomy tube and the bi-conical adaptor in the drainage system. The measured outcome was the weight causing visible loosening of the junction between thoracotomy tube and the adaptor.RESULTS: For each taping material and taping method, 10 trials were performed. The median weight required to disconnect the junction is 26.22 lb for Transpore^(tm), 31.29 lb for Micropore^(tm) and 32.44 lb for Soft Cloth Tape on Liner. A smaller force was required to disconnect if Transpore^(tm) is used(P<0.001). There was no statistical signifi cant difference between Micropore^(tm) and Soft Cloth Tape on Liner(P=0.98). The median disconnecting force is 32.44 lb for straight taping method, 40.55 lb for cross taping method and 21.15 lb for plastic band. The cross-taping method was the more secure method(P<0.0001 when compared with plastic band)(P=0.033 when compared with straight method).CONCLUSION: Cross-taping is the most secure method among the tested varieties in connecting the thoracostomy tube to the chest drainage system. Transpore^(tm) is not a recommended material for thoracostomy tube taping.

文摘Based on patient computerized tomography data,we segmented a region containing an intracranial hematoma using the threshold method and reconstructed the 3D hematoma model.To improve the efficiency and accuracy of identifying puncture points,a point-cloud search arithmetic method for modified adaptive weighted particle swarm optimization is proposed and used for optimal external axis extraction.According to the characteristics of the multitube drainage tube and the clinical needs of puncture for intracranial hematoma removal,the proposed algorithm can provide an optimal route for a drainage tube for the hematoma,the precise position of the puncture point,and preoperative planning information,which have considerable instructional significance for clinicians.

文摘BACKGROUND Acute iatrogenic colorectal perforation(AICP)is a serious adverse event,and immediate AICP usually requires early endoscopic closure.Immediate surgical repair is required if the perforation is large,the endoscopic closure fails,or the patient's clinical condition deteriorates.In cases of delayed AICP(>4 h),surgical repair or enterostomy is usually performed,but delayed rectal perforation is rare.CASE SUMMARY A 53-year-old male patient underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)at a local hospital for the treatment of a laterally spreading tumor of the rectum,and the wound was closed by an endoscopist using a purse-string suture.Unfortunately,the patient then presented with delayed rectal perforation(6 h after ESD).The surgeons at the local hospital attempted to treat the perforation and wound surface using transrectal endoscopic microsurgery(TEM);however,the perforation worsened and became enlarged,multiple injuries to the mucosa around the perforation and partial tearing of the rectal mucosa occurred,and the internal anal sphincter was damaged.As a result,the perforation became more complicated.Due to the increased bleeding,surgical treatment with suturing could not be performed using TEM.Therefore,the patient was sent to our medical center for follow-up treatment.After a multidisciplinary discussion,we believed that the patient should undergo an enterostomy.However,the patient strongly refused this treatment plan.Because the position of the rectal perforation was relatively low and the intestine had been adequately prepared,we attempted to treat the complicated delayed rectal perforation using a self-expanding covered mental stent(SECMS)in combination with a transanal ileus drainage tube(TIDT).CONCLUSION For patients with complicated delayed perforation in the lower rectum and adequate intestinal preparation,a SECMS combined with a TIDT can be used and may result in very good outcomes.
文摘Objective To compare the outcomes after self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) or transanal drainage tube (TDT) placement in patients with malignant large-bowel obstruction (MLBO). Methods Seventy-three patients with MLBO from the clinical unit underwent SEMS (n = 51) or TDT (n = 22) placement from 2012 to 2017. The success rates of placement, clinical outcomes after decompression, complications, the time to resuming enteral nutrition (EN), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scoring and the following-up therapeutic options were investigated. Results Technical success were achieved in 100% of patients in both groups. The clinical success rates were 98.0%(50/51) for SEMS and 95.5%(21/22) for TDT. No perforation was found in any group, while 3.9%(2/51) in the SEMS and 18.2%(4/22) in TDT group experienced displacement (P = 0.26). It took 2.1 IQR (0~2) days and 3 IQR (2~5) days to resume EN in the SEMS and TDT groups, respectively (P < 0.001). The KPS scores were significantly higher in patients implanted with SEMS (70, IQR 50~80) than in those with TDT (35, IQR 30~50)(P < 0.001). In the SEMS group, 37.3%(19/51) of patients underwent stenting as a bridge to surgery, 9.8%(5/51) for chemotherapy only and 52.9%(27/51) for palliation, while 40.9%(9/22), 0 and 59.1%(13/22) underwent placement for these reasons in the TDT group, respectively. The majority (6/9) of the patients who underwent TDT placement as a bridge to surgery required stoma creation, while only 31.6%(6/19) of those in the SEMS group needed a stoma (P = 0.080). In addition, anastomotic leakage was only found in the TDT group (2/9)(P = 0.10). Conclusion Both SEMS and TDT placement could provide clinical relief for MLBO. However, SEMS placement is associated with earlier EN, fewer complications, and benefits for the postoperative quality-of-life.
文摘Objective:To explore the main factors of drainage tube complications after hepatobiliary surgery.Methods:From November 2019 to October 2021,103 patients with drainage tube complications after hepatobiliary surgery in Changshu No.2 People’s Hospital were selected as subjects for this study;the factors of postoperative drainage tube complications were analyzed by retrospective analysis.Results:The complications of drainage tubes include cavity organ damage,sliding of drainage tube into the abdominal cavity,broken drainage tube,blocked drainage tube,bleeding in drainage tube,bleeding from the mouth of drainage tube,abdominal cavity infection caused by drainage tube,and intestinal obstruction caused by drainage tube compression;the number of cases were 9,8,12,21,18,17,8,and 10,accounting for 8.74%,7.77%,11.65%,20.39%,17.48%,16.50%,7.77%,and 9.70%,respectively;the causes of these complications include early and late removal of drainage tube,improper positioning,color of drainage fluid,drainage tube falling out or self-removal,and so on.Conclusion:After hepatobiliary surgery,although the complications caused by drainage tubes have certain relationship with the indwelling time and surgery,the most critical is related to postoperative nursing care;therefore,it is necessary to observe the condition of the drainage tube and draining fluid after surgery,including the color of the fluid,its flow rate,and whether the drainage tube leaks or falls out;after surgery,patients should be encouraged to cooperate with the medical staffs,and family members should be reminded to pay attention to the observation of patients and informed about matters needing attention,so as to reduce the incidence of drainage tube complications after hepatobiliary surgery.
文摘Objective: This study aims to compare the effects of different drainage tube diameters (22F vs. 26F) combined with negative pressure suction on patients after valve replacement surgery, including postoperative indicators and complications. Methods: A total of 104 patients undergoing valve replacement surgery were included and divided into a 22F group (45 patients) and a 26F group (59 patients). The basic characteristics, postoperative ICU stay duration, drainage duration, postoperative complications, and pain scores were compared between the two groups. All data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software, with p Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, sex, and underlying diseases. The ICU stay duration and drainage duration showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). The total drainage volume in the 22F group was significantly lower than that in the 26F group (225 vs. 380 ml, p = 0.035), and the pain scores on the third postoperative day were also significantly lower in the 22F group (p Conclusion: Compared to the 26F group, patients in the 22F group exhibited less postoperative drainage volume and lower pain scores, suggesting that the 22F drainage tube may have better clinical outcomes after valve replacement surgery.
