RESUMO
Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic catheterization of ileus tube combined enterectomy for the treatment of elderly patients with acute sigmoid volvulus. Methods From August 2015 to August 2017,27 cases of elderly patients with acute sigmoid volvulus received treatment of endoscopic placement of ileus tube combined enterectomy in Pudong New Area Gongli Hospital.Retrospectively collected clin-ic parameters of pre-catheterization,post-catheterization,enterectomy and postoperative follow-up;the success rate of catheterization and enterectomy,compression efficiency,post-operative complications,and efficacy of the com-bined therapy were analyzed. Results Emergency catheterizations of anorectal ileus tube were succeeded in 27 (100%)patients;one patient who developed intestinal gangrene received emergency enterectomy,the hemogram and internal environmental disturbance of the 26 cases were significantly relieved,and the efficacy rate of decom-pression was 96.3%. The success rate of was enterectomy was 100%;the incidence of severe complications and mortality were 22.2% and 3.7%,respectively. During the follow-up,2(7.4%)patients developed ileus,and the efficacy rate of the combined therapy was 85.2%. Conclusions The catheterization of ileus tube could effectively depress intestinal pressure. The success rate of enterectomy was significantly improved and postoperative mortality was reduced. The therapy of endoscopic ileus tube catheterization combined enterectomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of acute sigmoid volvulus in the elderly.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical application of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube in the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction. Methods A total of 221 patients with simple adhesive small intestinal obstruction, who were admitted to authors’ hospital during the period from January 2010 to Aug. 2014, were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group (n=111) and nasogastric tube group (n=110). After the procedure, the patients were kept under close observation, focusing on the abdominal distention, gastrointestinal decompression amount, the recovery time of anal exhaustion and defecation, the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film, etc. The cure rate, effective rate and transit-operation rate were calculated. The results were compared between the two groups. Results The tube placement operation was successfully performed in all patients. Compared with the nasogastric tube group, in the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the recovery time of abdominal distention, anal exhaustion and defecation and the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film were obviously shorter, and the gastrointestinal decompression amount was larger. In the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the cure rate and effective rate were significantly increased, while the transit-operation rate was decreased; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction, the placement of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube is effective and reliable. This technique can strikingly improve the clinical symptoms, therefore, it is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss the therapeutic strategy and the clinical efficacy of percutaneous cholecystostomy in treating high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis. Methods During the period of Jan. 2006-June 2008,percutaneous cholecystostomy was performed in 27 high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis,consisting of lithic cholecystitis (n = 21) and non-lithic cholecystitis (n = 6). Of 27 patients,percutaneous cholecystostomy via transhepatic approach was performed in 22 and via transperitoneal approach in 5. The 7 F drainage catheter was used. Cholecystography was conducted before the drainage catheter was extracted. Results Percutaneous cholecystostomy was successfully accomplished in all 27 cases,with a technical success rate of 100%. Postoperative patency of gallbladder drainage was obtained in 25 patients,with the relieving or subsiding of abdominal pain and the restoring of temperature and leukocyte account to normal range within 72 hours. In one patient,as the abdominal pain relief was not obvious 72 hours after the procedure,cholecystography was employed and it revealed the obstruction of the drainage catheter. After reopening of the drainage catheter,the abdominal pain was relieved. In another case,cholecystography was carried out because the abdominal pain became worse after the procedure,and minor bile leak was demonstrated. After powerful anti-infective and symptomatic medication,the abdominal pain was alleviated. The drainage catheter was extracted in 25 patients 6-7 weeks after the treatment. Of these 25 patients,12 accepted selective cholecystectomy,7 received percutaneous cholecystolithotomy and 6 with non-lithic cholecystitis did not get any additional surgery. The remaining two patients were living with long-term retention of the indwelling drainage-catheter. Conclusion Percutaneous cholecystostomy is a simple,safe and effective treatment for acute cholecystitis in high-risk patients. This technique is of great value in clinical practice.
