RESUMO
Objective:To determine whether chewing gum during the postoperative period facilitates the recovery of bowel function in patients after radical cystectomy with ileum urinary diversion.Methods:In the study,60 patients who underwent radical cystectomy followed by ileum urinary diversions during Nov.2014 and Nov.2015 in Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital were randomized into three groups:gum chewing group,placebo group treated with the abdomen physical therapy machine and control group treated with ordinary method.Time to flatus,time to bowel movement,incidence of postoperative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications (such as ileus,intestinal fistula,and volrulus)of all the patients were recorded and analysed.Results:In gum chewing group,the median time to flatus was 57 hours (49 -72 hours),and the median time to bowel movement was 95 hours (88 -109 hours),which were significantly shortened compared with the other two groups of patients (82 hours,109 hours in placebo group and 81 hours,108 hours in control group, respectively).No significant difference of the median time to flatus and to bowel movement was observed between placebo group and control group.There were no significant differences in the incidence of post-operative distension of the abdomen and abdominal pain,and gut related complications among the three groups.Conclusion:Chewing gum had stimulatory effect on bowel function recovery after cystectomy fol-lowed by ileum urinary diversion.Chewing gum was safe and simple,and could be routinely used for postoperative treatment after cystectomy and ileum urinary diversion.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the anatomical retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy(RSN)and standardize the procedure of RSN. Methods The retrospective analysis was performed on 405 consecutive patients underwent anatomical RSN in Our institute from January 2002 to June 2008.There were 232 male and 173 female patients with the average age of(57.2±14.2)years,among whom there were 228 renal cell carcinoma patients accepted RSU,96 and 49 renal pelvic carcinoma and ureteral carcinoma cases accepted retroperitoneoscopic ureteronephrectomy (RSUN) and 32 cases accepted simple RSN due to loss of renal function caused by benign renal discsses.The tadical RSN was performed by dissecting outside Gerota's fascia and in the latent cavities between this fascia and lateral conal fascia in the dorsal side and between this fascia and prerenal fusion fascia in the ventral side,whereas the simple RSN was done inside Gerota's fascia by making direct incision on it and dissecting between this fascia and perirenal adipose tissue.Kidneys and perirenal adipose tissue were completely removed by dissection along several avascular planes around the kidney under the amplified view of laparoscopy. The software SPSS 12.0 was used for the statistical analysis of all data. Results The mean operative time was (132±48)min for radical and simple RSN and (245 ± 62)min for radical RSUN, which included the time for position change and second skin preparation. The medium estimated blood loss was 100 ml(10-2500 ml) and the average drainage volume was 150 ml (0-1152 ml) postoperatively. 15 cases (3. 70%) required blood transfusion with the median volume of 400ml (400-1650 ml). Four cases (0. 99%) were converted to open surgery due to severe adhesion (2 cases), difficult exposure of renal helium (1 case) and severe bleeding (1 case).The mean drainage time was (3. 9±1.8)d, the mean time to first oral intake was (2.7±1.2)d and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (8.6±3. 8)d. Conclusion The anatomical RSN is safe and effective and should be the standard surgical procedure for laparoscopic nephrectomy.
RESUMO
Objective To assess the safety,efficacy and reliability of IUPU(Abbreviation of Institute of Urology,Peking University)technique in setting up the retroperitoneal cavity for retroperitoneoscopy. Methods From February 1996 to March 2006,more than 1100 retroperitoneoscopic procedures were performed with the IUPU technique in setting up the retroperitoneal cavity,First,at the cross point of the line 2 cm above the iliac crest and the longitudirml line close to the anterior auxiliary line,a 1 cm skin incision was made and the Veress needle was penetrated into the retroperitoneal space(RPS)with a 0°-30° angle to the perpendicular line.The CO2 gas was pumped into the RPS till the pressure increases to 14mmHg and the first port was inserted into the RPS.The laparoscope was then inserted into the RPS through the first port and kept swinging right and left with its tip and trunk tO set up the retroperitoneal cavity.Other 2 ports were put into the RPS at cross points of the sub-costal line and anterior and posterior auxiliary lines under monitor observation.Then other appliances are introduced into the RPS to expand the cavity.More than 1100 procedures had been done with the IUPU technique,including 54 cases of simple nephrectomy (loss of function due to tuberculosis,hydronephrosis and atrophy), 188 radical nephrectomy, 154 ureteronephrectomy, 344 adrenalectomy, 302 renal cyst decortications, 35 partial nephrectomy, 37 pyeloplasty. Results The average time for the IUPU technique was (5.4±2.8)min (range 4. 5 to 14. 5 min) to set up the RPS. Complications included converting to open surgery due to bleeding in 8 cases(8/1114,0. 72%) when the first port was inserted into the RPS and entered into the peritoneal cavity for the first port penetration in 32 cases (32/1114,2. 87%),although the retroperitoneal cavity could be set up successfully by adjusting the laparoscope into the RPS.There was no injury to other viscera. Conclusions The IUPU technique is safe, efficient and reliable in setting up the RPS and no other special instrument is needed. It can be finished within 5 min on skilled hands and is valuable as a routine method to set up the retroperitoneal cavity.
RESUMO
Objective:To determine the diagnostic value of multislice CT urography (MSCTU) in patients with transitional cell carcinoma ( TCG) of upper urinary tract by comparing other imageology methods used. Methods: Two hundred and thirty four cases of transitional cell carcinoma of upper urinary tract, in which 82 cases were diagnosed pathologically with pelvic carcinoma and 152 cases with ureteral carcinoma, between June 2004 and September 2006 in our institute were enrolled in a retrospective study. Most of them underwent urological ultrasound, intravenous urogram (IVU) , retrograde pyelography and MSCTU. We compared the positive rate (PR) and diagnostic rate (DR) of these methods used by chi-square test. Results: Among the 234 cases, 215 patients underwent urologic ultrasound, in which 152 cases were detected to be abnormal, with the PR of 70.1% ;Meanwhile, 58 cased were diagnosed by this examination, with the DR of 27. 0%. IVU was performed in 193 patients and 132 cases were found to be abnormal, and the PR was 68. 4% , 65 cases were diagnosed by IVU and the DR was 33.7%. And 132 patients underwent retrograde pyelography, by which 115 cases of lesion were detected, with the PR of 87. 1% ; In the meantime, 93 cases were diagnosed, with the DR of 70. 5%.MSCTU was performed in 226 cases and 220 cases were found to be abnormal, and the PR was 97.3% ;214 cases were diagnosed by MSCTU, with the DR of 94. 7%. The DR of detecting TCC of retrograde pyelography had statistically significant difference with that of ultrasound and IVU(P＜0.001). As compared with retrograde pyelography, MSCTU had statistically significant superiority (P＜0.001). Conclusion: To shorten the diagnosis time and mitigate the sufferings, patients with hematuria supposed to be TCC of upper urinary tract should be recommended to undergo MSCTU first.
RESUMO
Objective To summarize the experience in open surgery for huge adrenal tumors in order to improve its safety and efficiency of this complicated surgical procedure. Methods Fortyfour consecutive patients with huge adrenal tumors underwent open surgery with mean long tumor diameter of 13 cm (9-34 cm), and autologous blood transfusion was prepared in routine. It was analyzed retrospectively for clinical data, perioperative complications and the effective and safety results of this procedure. Results The incision was oblique in lumbar region in 5 cases, subcostal unilaterally in 32 cases and abdomino-thoracic joint in 7 cases. There were 27 malignant tumors (61.4%) in 44 cases, 3 with hepatic invasion, 6 with thrombi extending into inferior vena cava, among which 2 needed translocation of artificial blood vessels and 3 needed cardio-pulmonary bypass. The mean blood loss was 1309 ml (100-3000 ml) in 41 cases(93.2%)and the autologous blood transfusion was used in 20 case (45.5%). There were 1 diaphragmatic injury, 1 pleura injury, 3 hemorrhage in large amount more than 15 000 ml and 2 peritoneal cavity infection.There were no perioperative deaths and 42 tumors (95.5%) were curatively resected. Conclusions Open surgery for huge adrenal tumors is a complicated surgical technique with high risk and large amount of blood loss. The key points to success are proper selection of incision, routine autologous blood transfusion, perfect surgical skills and good cooperation between different specialties.
