ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the clinical effect of sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) and traditional vaginal hysterectomy on pelvic organ prolapse (POP) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 68 patients with POP of degree II-IV admittedl from Jan. 2017 to Dec. 2019. Among them, 33 patients were treated with SSLF (observation group) and 35 patients were treated with vaginal total hysterectomy (control group). Intraoperative blood loss, operative time, postoperative indwelling catheter and average length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The patients were followed up for 6 months, and the scores of pelvic floor dysfunction questionnaire-20 (PFDI-20) and sexual quality questionnaire -12 (PISQ-12) were used to evaluate the subjective satisfaction degree of postoperative recovery.Results:In the observation group, the intraoperative blood loss (173.94±52.14) ml, postoperative indurating catheter time (2.72±0.45) d and average length of hospital stay (7.09±0.63) d were observed. There were statistically significant differences in intraoperative blood loss (228.86±53.40) ml, postoperative induration time (4.54±0.61) d and mean hospital stay (9.22±0.81) d in the control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time between the observation group (99.57±9.50) min and the control group (101.06±8.64) min, ( P>0.05). The improvement of PFDI-20 and PISQ-12 in both groups was significant before and after treatment. The PISQ-12 score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group 6 months after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P <0. 05). There was no significant difference in PFDI-20 score between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was statistical significance in the positions of pop-Q indicators in the two surgical methods ( P < 0.05) . Conclusions:SSLF with uterus preservation and total vaginal hysterectomy are both effective in treatment of moderate and severe POP. However, SSLF with uterus preservation has less intraoperative blood loss, and the postoperative recovery is significantly better than that with total vaginal hysterectomy. In addition, it satisfies patients’ desire to preserve uterus, improves the postoperative sexual life quality, which is worthy of promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and Multi-slice Spiral CT (MSCT) in the preoperativestaging of tumor(T) and lymph node (N) metastasis in patients with SiewertⅡand Ⅲ typeadenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction(AEG).@*Methods@#Clinical data of 145 Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ type AEG patientswithout preoperative chemoradiotherapy were retrospectively reviewed. Theyall received preoperative EUS and MSCT examination and underwent surgical resection, and the results of EUS and MSCT were compared with their postoperative pathologic staging.@*Results@#The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of EUS for T stage in Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ type AEG were higher than those of MSCT. The total accuracy of EUS and MSCT were 90.3% and 63.5%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=29.52, P<0.01). The sensitivity of EUS for T1, T2 and T3 were 89.5%, 91.1% and 85.2%, respectively, which were significantly higher than 42.1%, 66.7% and 29.6% of MSCT (χ2=9.47, P<0.01 for T1; χ2=8.07, P<0.01 for T2; χ2=17.40, P<0.01 for T3). In addition, the total accuracy of EUS and MSCT for lymph node metastasis status of Siewert Ⅱ and Ⅲ type AEG were 75.9% and 64.8%, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference(χ2=4.23, P=0.04). The sensitivity of EUS for N1 and N2 were 82.1% and 79.2%, respectively, which were significantly higher than 53.6% and 60.4% of MSCT (χ2=5.24, P=0.02; χ2=4.48, P=0.03). There was no statistical significance for sensitivity of EUS and MSCT in N0 and N3 (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#EUS diagnosis of T and N staging in Siewert Ⅱ/Ⅲ type AEG showed significantly greater performance than MSCT.
