Current status of surgery for portal hypertension in China: a national multi-center survey analysis / 中华器官移植杂志

Objective:To explore the current status of surgery for portal hypertension to grasp current status and future development of surgery in China.Methods:This study is jointly sponsored by China Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Specialist Alliance & Portal Hypertension Alliance in China (CHESS).Comprehensive surveying is conducted for basic domestic situations of surgery for portal hypertension, including case load, surgical approaches, management of postoperative complications, primary effects, existing confusion and obstacles, liver transplantation(LT), laparoscopic procedures and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS), etc.Results:A total of 8 512 cases of portal hypertension surgery are performed at 378 hospitals nationwide in 2021.Splenectomy plus devascularization predominated(53.0%)and laparoscopy accounted for 76.1%.Primary goal is preventing rebleeding(67.0%) and 72.8% of hospitals used preventive anticoagulants after conventional surgery.And 80.7% of teams believe that the formation of postoperative portal vein thrombosis is a surgical dilemma and 65.3% of hospitals practiced both laparoscopy and TIPS.The major reasons for patients with portal hypertension not receiving LT are due to a lack of qualifications for LT(69.3%)and economic factors(69.0%).Conclusions:Surgery is an integral part of management of portal hypertension in China.However, it is imperative to further standardize the grasp of surgical indications, the handling of surgical operation and the management of postoperative complications.Moreover, prospective, multi-center randomized controlled clinical studies should be performed.

Individualized total laparoscopic surgery based on 3D remodeling for portal hypertension: A single surgical team experience.

Background and aims: Portal hypertension (PHT) is common in end-stage cirrhosis, and variceal bleeding is the main complication associated with mortality. Surgery is usually performed in patients with PHT with a high risk of variceal bleeding in China. This study aimed to introduce an individualized and precise total laparoscopic surgical procedure based on 3D remodeling for PHT. Methods: From March 2013 to December 2018, 146 patients with cirrhotic PHT underwent a laparoscopic surgical procedure in our department. An individualized 3D remodeling evaluation was carried out for surgical planning. Results: The operation time was 319.96 ± 91.53 min. Eight of 146 patients were converted to open surgery. Acute portal vein system thrombosis occurred in 10 patients (6.85%). During the first year, 11 patients (8.15%) experienced rebleeding and two (1.48%) died. 18 patients (13.33%) experienced rebleeding and three died, giving a 3-year mortality rate of 3.66%. Compared with preoperatively, the portal vein showed significant postoperative decreases in diameter, flow velocity, and flow amount, while the hepatic artery showed significant postoperative increases in diameter, flow velocity, and flow amount. A 3D liver volume evaluation found that 19 of 21 patients had a significantly increased liver volume postoperatively, and a significantly decreased MELD score. Conclusion: This retrospective study introduced a safe, feasible, and effective individualized surgical procedure. Our results show that this surgical treatment may not only act as an effective symptomatic treatment for PHT to prevent esophageal and gastric hemorrhage, but also as an etiological treatment to increase liver function and long-term survival.

A risk prediction model of conversion to open surgery during laparoscopic splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model of conversion to open surgery during laparoscopic splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (LSED) and evaluate the impact of this conversion on patients' short-term prognosis.Methods:A total of 358 cirrhotic portal hypertension patients admitted to the Department of General Surgery , Second Affiliated Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University from Feb 2011 to Nov 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent attempted LSED. Univariate and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors for conversion to laparotomy, and the R language was used to build a nomogram prediction model for conversion to laparotomy. The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 358 patients were included in this study, of which 31(8.7%). patients were converted to open surgery. In univariate analysis, high MELD score, BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, history of upper abdominal surgery, red sign of the varicose, low platelet count and prolonged PT are risk factors for conversion . LASSO regression finally identified 5 factors: MELD, BMI, PLT, history of surgery, and red sign. In the nomogram prediction model the area under ROC curve was 0.831. The conversion led to longer operation time; increased blood loss; prolonged postoperative abdominal drainage , longer hospital stay, and increased perioperative complications ( t=-2.167, P=0.031; Z=-4.350, P<0.01; Z=-3.102, P=0.002; Z=-3.454, P=0.001; χ2=8.773, P=0.003). Conclusions:LASSO regression selected five indicators with greatest impact on intraoperative conversion: MELD, BMI, PLT, red sign, and previous history of abdominal surgery. The nomogram prediction model established has good prediction ability. Patients converted to open surgery had worse short-term outcomes.

Comprehensive evaluation and technical experience of total laparoscopic splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization on the treatment of patients with portal hypertension / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Total laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization has become an important surgical treatment for portal hypertension patients. Compared with the traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has multiple advantages including precise operation, small trauma and quick recovery. Accurate preoperative evaluation, precise surgical operation and delicate perioperative management are still important parts in perioperative management of laparoscopic surgery. Preoperative reasonable and accurate individualized assessment, strict control surgical indications and contraindications are the important basis to ensure the perioperative surgery to be safe and rational; standardized and individualized surgical operation is the key for accurate vascular disconnection, reducing intraoperative bleeding and perioperative complications; the concept of fast-track surgery is conducive to the rapid recovery of patients with portal hypertension and reduce the operation related complications. Anticoagulant therapy is a safe and effective treatment to reduce portal vein thrombosis. It is an important task to strengthen the cooperation among different disciplines for the treatment of portal hypertension in the future.

Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing Lichtenstein and totally extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernioplasty in treatment of inguinal hernias.

BACKGROUND: Finding the optimal approach to repair an inguinal hernia is controversial. Therefore, for the scientific evaluation of the total extraperitoneal (TEP) and Lichtenstein mesh techniques for the repair of inguinal hernia, meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are necessary. METHODS: A complete literature search was conducted in the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register Databases, Pubmed, Embase, International Scientific Institute databases, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database in various languages. RESULTS: Randomized controlled trials (13), including 3279 patients, were retrieved from the electronic databases. The Lichtenstein group was associated with a shorter operating time; however, results show that TEP repair enabled patients a shorter time to return to work, less chronic pain compared with Lichtenstein operation. There was no significant difference in seromas, wound infections, or neuralgia. There are no statistically significant difference in terms of hernia recurrence when the follow-up time is ≤3 y. When follow-up time is >3 y, TEP repair shows a higher recurrence rate compared with Lichtenstein repairs. CONCLUSIONS: There was insufficient evidence to determine the greater effectiveness between TEP and Lichtenstein mesh techniques. In future research, it is necessary for subgroup analyses of unilateral primary hernias, recurrent hernias, and simultaneous bilateral repair to be conducted to define the indications for the TEP approach.

Explanation of colon cancer pathophysiology through analyzing the disrupted homeostasis of bile acids.

BACKGROUND: The colon plays a key role in regulating the homeostasis of bile acids. AIM: The present study aims to evaluate the influence of colon cancer towards the homeostasis of bile acids. METHODS: The free and conjugated bile acids were determined using ultraperformance LC (UPLC) coupled with ABI 4000 QTRAP triple quadrupole instruments. RESULTS: The results showed that the free bile acids in serum of patients with colon cancers tend to increase, and the conjugated bile acids tended to decrease, especially for taurolithocholate (TLCA) (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The alteration of bile acids balance in colon cancers indicated the possibility of complicated diseases due to the disrupted balance of bile acids.

Application value of magnetic compression anastomosis in digestive tract reconstruction / 中华胃肠外科杂志

Magnetic compression anastomosis can compress tissues together and restore the continuity. Magnetic compression anastomosis mainly experienced three stages: magnetic ring, magnetic ring and column, and smart self-assembling magnets for endoscopy (SAMSEN). Nowadays, the magnetic compression anastomosis has been applied in vascular and different digestive tract surgeries, especially for complex surgery, such as anastomotic stenosis of biliary ducts after liver transplantation or congenital esophageal stenosis. Although only case reports are available at present, the advantages of the magnetic compression anastomosis includes lower cost, simplicity, individualization, good efficacy, safety, and minimally invasiveness. We are building a better technical platform to make magnetic compression anastomosis more advanced and popularized.
