Extra thoracic skeletal muscle transposition especially latissimus dorsi muscle flap (LDMF) had been used to prevent this complication. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of LDMF in preventing BPF developing after extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and external radiation therapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Methods: Between May 1999 and Dec. 2008, 37 patients with MPM were operated upon by EPP using LDMF prophylactically to reinforce the bronchial stump, and then received external radiation therapy with or without postoperative chemotherapy. Results: The mean age of all patients was 46.7 (range 26-57) years. Twenty five patients were males and 12 patients were females. Twenty three patients had MPM of the right side and 14 patients had MPM of the left side. The peri-operative mortality was 2.7% and only few flap related postoperative morbidity were reported in the form of minor seroma and subcutaneous surgical emphysema. The median follow up was 17 (range 9-43) months. All cases completed their postoperative external radiation therapy with no reported cases of early or late BPF. Conclusion: Intrathoracic pedicled LDMF transposition is proved to be effective in prevention of BPF developing after EPP and external radiation therapy in MPM and it is advised to be a routine step in EPP in these cases and to use more sophisticated technique of postoperative external beam radiotherapy (3D conformal or IMRT) to minimize this complication.展开更多

Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent reverse latissimus dorsi flap for reconstruction of the back, in a tertiary care hospital. The patient demographics, etiology, surgery indications and complications were studied. Results: The study had five patients between 2012 and 2016 who underwent reverse latissimus dorsi flap for reconstruction. The flaps survived in all the patients. Two patients had complications, unrelated to the latissimus dorsi muscle flap. Conclusion: The vascularity of the flap is reliable can be used to obliterate the dead space, can be used to control the infection, in complex cases of the back.展开更多
目的探讨三维可视技术在腔镜乳腺癌保乳并一期转移背阔肌瓣乳房重建中的指导价值。方法 2015年1月~2016年5月期间,我院临床30例志愿要求行背阔肌瓣转移重建乳房的患者纳入实验组,术前采集256排螺旋CT动脉期、静脉期的DICOM数据,导入自...目的探讨三维可视技术在腔镜乳腺癌保乳并一期转移背阔肌瓣乳房重建中的指导价值。方法 2015年1月~2016年5月期间,我院临床30例志愿要求行背阔肌瓣转移重建乳房的患者纳入实验组,术前采集256排螺旋CT动脉期、静脉期的DICOM数据,导入自主研发的医学图像三维可视化系统对患者CTA图像中的乳房、乳腺肿瘤、背阔肌及胸背动脉等进行分割及三维重建,再导入三维可视化手术平台中进行手术研究,指导临床腔镜乳腺癌保乳并一期转移背阔肌瓣乳房重建手术方案的制定和实施。术后6个月随访患者,进行美学评价。对照2014年1月~2014年12月期间18例在我院行腔镜背阔肌瓣乳房重建患者(术前未应用三维可视技术)的手术时间、术中出血量、术后6月乳房的美学评价等数据。结果实验组30例患者,三维可视技术能准确反映其乳房及肿瘤、背阔肌及胸背血管等解剖结构及其三维毗邻关系。30例患者手术顺利,中位手术时间为226 min(205~253 min),术中中位出血量为95 m L(73~132 m L)。乳房美学评价,22例优,6例良,2例一般。对照组18例患者,中位手术时间为283 min(256~313 min),中位出血量为107 m L(79~147 m L)。乳房美学评价,10例优,4例良,4例一般。结论三维可视技术能很好的显示背阔肌形态及胸背动脉走行,可计算乳房体积及背阔肌体积,指导背阔肌切取范围,避免误伤背阔肌瓣蒂部血管,缩短手术时间,减少术中出血,术后乳房重建效果良好。展开更多
