RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: To evaluate an innovative open necrosectomy strategy with continuous positive drainage and prophylactic diverting loop ileostomy for the management of late infected pancreatic necrosis (LIPN). METHODS: Consecutive patients were divided into open necrosectomy (ON) group (n = 23), open necrosectomy with colonic segment resection (ON+CSR) group (n = 8) and open necrosectomy with prophylactic diverting loop ileostomy (ON+PDLI) group (n = 11). Continuous positive drainage (CPD) via double-lumen irrigation-suction tube (DLIST) was performed in ON+PDLI group. The primary endpoints were duration of organ failure after surgery, postoperative complication, the rate of re-surgery and mortality. The secondary endpoints were duration of hospitalization, cost, time interval between open surgery and total enteral nutrition (TEN). RESULTS: The recovery time of organ function in ON+PDLI group was shorter than that in other two groups. Colonic complications occurred in 13 patients (56.5%) in the ON group and 3 patients (27.3%) in the ON+PDLI group (p = 0.11). The length of stay in the ON+PDLI group was shorter than the ON group (p = 0.001). The hospitalization cost in the ON+PDLI group was less than the ON group (p = 0.0052). CONCLUSION: ON+PDLI can avoid the intestinal dysfunction, re-ileostomy, the resection of innocent colon and reduce the intraoperative trauma. Despite being of colonic complications before or during operation, CPD + PDLI may show superior effectiveness, safety, and convenience in LIPN.

To establish a continuous reinfusion of succus entericus and enteral nutrition (EN) in complex high-output fistula (HOF). Percutaneous puncture and catheterization technique was used to establish continuous reinfusion of succus entericus and EN in complex HOF. From May 2010 to June 2018, 21 patients with complex HOF used continuous reinfusion of succus entericus and EN. Six of them were completely cured, and 15 cases were cured after definitive surgery. Percutaneous puncture and catheterization technique was shown to be a useful and effective method for establishing continuous reinfusion of succus entericus and EN in patients with complex HOF. This method can prevent succus entericus loss and remove the barrier to implementing EN in HOF.

Background: Coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA) is an extracorporeal treatment based on plasma filtration associated with an adsorbent cartridge and hemofiltration. CPFA is able to remove inflammatory mediators and it has been used to treat severe sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction. Limited experience exists on the use of CPFA in treating intra-abdominal infection (IAI). Methods: In this study, the efficacy of CPFA in treating patients with severe IAI and liver failure was evaluated in a retrospective analysis of 76 cases. Results: The survival rate of patients treated with CPFA was 82.6%, with effective removal of endotoxin and inflammatory mediators. Conclusion: Our data suggest that CPFA can be safely and effectively used to lower morbidity and mortality rates of patients with severe IAI and liver failure.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of double-lumen irrigation-suction tube (DLIST) in treating severe intra-abdominal infection (SIAI) induced by endoscopic sphincterotomy-related perforation (EST-rP). We enrolled 34 consecutive patients who had been transferred to our hospital with SIAI induced by EST-rP from January 2000 to June 2018. Then they were assigned into two groups based on whether or not rescue surgery had been performed: failed nonoperative treatment group (n = 9) and failed rescue surgery treatment group (n = 25). All 34 patients received DLIST for positive draining by surgery in our hospital. Data collection included demographics, indication for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, time to rescue surgery, surgical procedure, surgical success rate, complications, hospital stay, and postoperative outcome. The research enrolled 34 patients (ages 27-79 years, mean of 57.8 ± 12.1 years). There were no significant differences in age and gender between two groups (P > 0.05). After being admitted, they were diagnosed with sepsis induced by SIAI (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score range of 2-6, mean of 3.6 ± 0.95). The time from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to rescue surgery was 12 to 336 hours (mean of 73.7 ± 72.2 hours); overall hospital stay was 15 to 405 (mean of 127.5 ± 81.5) days. The hospital stay was significantly longer in the failed rescue surgery group than that of the failed nonoperative treatment group (P < 0.05). The overall mortality rate was 11.8 per cent (4/34). The mortality rate was 16 per cent (4/25) and 0 per cent (0/9), respectively. As a modified suction technology, DLIST placement can effectively treat SIAI induced by EST-rP and lower the mortality rate of rescue surgery treatment.

RATIONALE: Currently, fistucolysis helps to establish intestinal nutrition and succus entericus reinfusion in the case of controllable mature high-output enterocutaneous fistula. However, if the tube cannot reach the distal limb of a fistula, fistuloclysis is not achieved. We proposed a strategy to establish succus entericus reinfusion for intractable intestinal fistula through percutaneous enterostomy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 43-year-old man was transferred to our facility for postoperative enterocutaneous fistulae, sepsis, malnutrition, and electrolyte and fluid imbalance. The contrast X-ray demonstrated the breakdown of the primary anastomosis, with fistula output ranging from 1500 to 2000âmL/d, despite the administration of medications to reduce gastrointestinal secretions. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with high-output anastomosis fistula by gastrointestinal radiography. INTERVENTIONS: We used percutaneous enterostomy to establish fistuloclysis. OUTCOMES: Fistuloclysis was established by percutaneous enterostomy successfully. No complications were found during the past 4-month follow-up after percutaneous enterostomy. He is waiting for reconstruction surgery after 6 months' enteral nutrition (EN). LESSONS: Fistuloclysis-assisted EN, if used appropriately, avoids the complications of long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) and may promote faster fistula healing.

INTRODUCTION: Hepatic Portal Venous Gas (HPVG) is a rare pathological condition that may be caused by iatrogenic factors. CASE REPORT: A 66-year-old Chinese male patient with HPVG underwent laparotomy for chronic bowel ischemia. Transcathete cardiac defibrillator was implanted via left subclavian vein for ventricular tachycardia. DISCUSSION: There are many hypotheses about how gas runs through the intestine into the mesenteric portal venous system. HPVG patients can be improved through comprehensive management. Patients with mesenteric ischemia should be observed in hospital and after discharge, and need surgical intervention if chronic bowel ischemia recurs. CONCLUSION: This case proves the usefulness of comprehensive management in treating HPVG. Prognosis of HPVG should consider the pathological changes contributing to HPVG.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Mobilization of the thyroid during an endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) via a breast approach was originally carried out from the lower pole to the upper pole (upward approach). Here, we applied a modified circular approach to achieve better exposure of the surgical field, in which the path of thyroid mobilization started from the isthmus and resembled a circle. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the circular approach compared with the upward approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From December 2008 to June 2013, 144 patients who underwent attempted ET via a breast approach were enrolled in this study, and their clinical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: In total, 141 of 144 procedures were successfully performed under endoscopy, including 60 (42.6%) via the upward approach and 81 (57.4%) via the circular approach. The mean operating time was significantly shorter in the circular approach group than in the upward approach group (90.6 minutes versus 112.5 minutes for hemithyroidectomy; 109.5 minutes versus 133.2 minutes for subtotal thyroidectomy; P<.05). Furthermore, the incidence of the transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy decreased in the circular approach group compared with the upward approach group (2.5% versus 13.3%; P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results seem to indicate that the circular approach is a better method of mobilizing the thyroid, especially for large nodules located in the lower pole of the thyroid. This approach may provide a better view of the surgical field, reduced operating times, and fewer postoperative complications.
