Briefly, after the pancreatic transaction, a stent tube was inserted into the lumen of the pancreatic duct and ligated with it by a fast-absorbable suture. Another tip of the stent tube was introduced into the intestinal lumen at the jejunal limb, where a purse-string suture was made by another fast-absorbable suture to roughly fix the tube. The pancreaticojejunostomy was completed by ligating two fast-absorbable sutures to approximate the ductal end and the jejunal mucosa, and by adding a rough anastomosis between the pancreatic parenchyma and the seromuscular layer of the jejunum. The initial surgical results with this method were retrospectively compared with those of the 28 patients treated with conventional duct-to-mucosa anastomosis.RESULTS: The incidences of postoperative morbidity including pancreatic fistula were comparable between the two groups (new; 3%-17% vs conventional; 7%-14% according to the definitions). There was no mortality and re-admission. Late complications were also rarely seen.CONCLUSION: A pancreaticojejunostomy using an irradiated polyglactin 910 suture material and a temporary stent is easy to perform and is feasible even in cases with a narrow pancreatic duct and a normal soft pancreas.展开更多

Methods:The data of 15 patients(11 males and 4 females),including 14 adults(aged 22-73 years,mean=40 years)and 1 child(aged 10 years),with fracture of both tibia and fibula were studied retrospectively in this study.A small incision was made at the fracture site of tibia.Then reposition was made under direct vision,and internal fixation was employed with steel plates inserting through the small incision. Results:Anatomical reduction was obtained.No complication was found.Union occurred on time in 14 patients.One case healed after a second operation. Conclusions:Micro-invasive percutaneous plate internal fixation is beneficial to the healing of bone and soft tissues.Without X-ray examination,it is also easy to reach anatomical reduction and make tibial internal fixation with both plates with micro-invasive percutaneous plate internal fixation.展开更多
