ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture plus umbilical moxibustion in treating gastrointestinal dysfunction after gynecological abdominal operation.Method Totally 112 eligible patients undergone gynecological operation were randomized into group A of 37 cases, group B of 38 cases, and group C of 37 cases. Group A was intervened by electroacupuncture, group B was by umbilical moxibustion, while group C was by electroacupuncture plus umbilical moxibustion. After a treatment course, the symptom scores, restored time of bowel sounds, anal exhaust time, motilin (MTL), gastrin (GAS), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) contents were observed and compared, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The symptom scores of the three groups were significantly changed after the intervention (P<0.05). After the treatment, the symptom score of group C was significantly different from that of group A and B (P<0.05). The restored time of bowel sounds and anal exhaust time in group C were significantly different from that of group A and B (P<0.05). The MTL, GAS, and VIP contents of the three groups were significantly changed after the intervention (P<0.05). The MTL, GAS, and VIP contents of group C were markedly different from that of group A and B (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 86.5% in group A, versus 81.6% in group B and 97.3% in group C. The total effective rate of group C was significantly different from that of group A and B (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus umbilical moxibustion is effective in treating gastrointestinal dysfunction after gynecological abdominal operation.
ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Anastomotic leakage and low anterior resection syndrome(LARS) are both common complications in dual-anastomosis for patients with low rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to observe and explore the signiifcance and role of vertical cutting of the closed distal rectum in dual-anastomosis for patients with low rectal cancer.Methods:A total number of 120 patients with mid-low rectal cancer who admitted to and completed laparoscopic rectal cancer resection in the Department of General Surgery, the First Afifliated Hospital of Soochow University from Feb. 2010 to Jun. 2014 were pair-matched into Groups A and B based on their gender,age, tumor size, the distance of lower edge to the dentate line and tumor staging, etc. For the 55 patients in Group A (observation group), the rectum distal end was closed vertically instead of horizontally while disposing “the ifrst intestinal anastomosis”, intestine-intestine anastomosis was conducted in an “end-corner” approach when dealing with “the second intestinal anastomosis”, upper corner (“dog ear”) of the closed line in the distal end of the rectum was removed, the lower corner (“dog ear”) of the closed line in the distal end of the rectum was removed using vascular occlusion clamp method, and the T-shaped interchanges (“dangerous triangle”) of stapled sutures formed after anastomosis were strengthened with absorbable suture. For the 65 patients in Group B (control group), laparoscopic dual anastomosis was conducted using conventional method, and the two “dog-ears” and “dangerous triangles” were kept without any treatment. The clinical outcomes of the two groups of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results:In group A, It was convenient to complete the operation when the “dog ears” and “dangerous triangle” on the vertical line after cutting the closed distal rectum vertically by “end-corner” anastomosis. The axis of intestine formed a certain angle making the closed distal rectum into “ampulla” sample without “dog ears”. the “dangerous triangle” were strengthened with absorbable suture. In group B, The distal and proximal intestine located on the same axis after intestine-intestine anastomosis leaving two “dog ears” and a “dangerous triangle”. The general clinical data of patients in the two groups were comparable and not signiifcantly different (P>0.05). The two groups of patients showed no signiifcant differences in blood loss, postoperative drainage, postoperative anastomotic bleeding, anal exhaust time, and length of hospital stay (P>0.05). However, the operation time as well as the numbers of anastomotic ifstula occurrence, defecation, tenesmus and post-operation re-ostomy differed significantly (P<0.05).Conclusion:Vertical cutting of the closed distal rectum with dual anastomosis made the “new” intestine closer to the physiological bending and morphology of the rectum, meanwhile, it simpliifed the approach of removing “dog ear” and strengthening “dangerous triangle”, ifnally it signiifcantly reduced the incidence of post-surgical complications.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: la histerectomía obstétrica es la resección parcial o total del útero, realizada generalmente de emergencia por complicaciones del embarazo, parto o puerperio, o por complicación de una enfermedad preexistente. Objetivo: determinar la incidencia y las principales causas que llevan a la intervención y su relación con algunos factores obstétricos. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo y longitudinal, de casos, a todas las pacientes que se les realizó histerectomía obstétrica en el Hospital Universitario América Arias desde enero del 2004 hasta diciembre del 2009. Se revisaron las historias clínicas, el registro del servicio de salón de operaciones, los carnés obstétricos y el registro del servicio de anatomía patológica. Resultados: se realizaron un total de 96 histerectomías obstétricas, para una tasa de 4,9 por 1 000 nacidos y un promedio de 16 histerectomías por año. Las principales indicaciones fueron la hemorragia y la sepsis. El grupo etario que predominó en relación con el total de nacimientos fue ≥ 35 años, siendo en este grupo la hemorragia la indicación más frecuente y los antecedentes obstétricos de ≥ 3 gestaciones. La terminación de embarazo por cesárea constituyó un factor relevante. La anemia fue la complicación más frecuente. Conclusión: la incidencia se mantiene en cifras similares a quinquenios anteriores por lo que continúa siendo un problema de salud para nuestra Institución
Introduction: the obstetric hysterectomy is the partial or total resection of uterus, performed generally of emergency due to the pregnancy, delivery or puerperium complications or by a prior disease. Objective: to determine the incidence and the major causes leading to intervention and its relation to some obstetric factors. Methods: a longitudinal, retrospective, descriptive and observational study was conducted in all patients underwent obstetric hysterectomy in the América Arias University Hospital from January, 2004 to December, 2009. All medical records were reviewed, the service registry of the operating room, the obstetrics cards and the registry of the pathological anatomy. Results: a total of 96 obstetric hysterectomies were performed for a rate of 4,9 per 1000 born and an average of 16 hysterectomies per year. The main indications were hemorrhage and sepsis. The predominant age group in relation to total of births was of ≥ 35 years and in this group the hemorrhage was the more frequent indication and the obstetric backgrounds of ≥ 3 pregnancies. The termination of pregnancy by cesarean section was a relevant factor. Anemia was the commonest complication. Conclusion: incidence remains in figures similar to prior five-year period thus this is a health problem for our Institution
