There are many surgical methods to treat dislocation of acromioclavicular joint, including fixation through acromioclavicular joint, intercoracoid fixation and ligament reconstruction. However, at present, more and more attention has been paid to biological reconstruction technology, and related technologies have also been greatly developed. Methods: The semitendinosus tendon from the body is used as the material for the reconstruction of the ligament. The reconstruction holes were made at the original attachment of the clavicular conical ligament and the trapezium ligament, and 10 absorbable lines were taken to pass through the lower part of the coracoid process through the two reconstruction holes respectively. The semitendinosus tendon was pruned, and the two ends were inserted through the reconstruction holes respectively to reach the lower part of the coracoid process. While pressing down on the clavicle, 10 absorbable lines were knotted on the surface of the clavicle, and the semitendinosus tendon was knotted below the coracoid process. Finally, two u-shaped loops were formed to complete the reconstruction of the coracoid ligaments. Results: The intraoperative and post-operative imaging examination indicated that acromioclavicular joint dislocation was well treated. Conclusions: This kind of surgery has many advantages over traditional plate fixation, such as reducing postoperative complications, shortening the length of hospital stay and so on.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"58 1","pages":"28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84450058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article describes an original method of one-stage reconstruction in N. N. Blokhin National Medical and Research Center of Oncology. Russian Federation’s patent № 2489096 was granted for this method. We propose to use 3 different flaps from different anatomic areas, which have varying histological structures and independent blood supply. The first flap - muscle, is formed from the biggest part of the muscles masseter from the affected side and serves to restore the functions of the lips and cheek due to the fact that after the formation of the flap two its parts fixed to the remnants of the muscles of the upper and lower lips and part of the buccal muscle. The flap is perfusion by a. maxillaris and a. facialis. The second flap - musculocutaneous, formed from the skin of areas adjacent to the defect, nasolabial or submandibular. The flap serves to replace a skin defect, defect of the cheek, upper and lower lips. The flap is perfusion by a. facialis. The third flap - fascial, formed from the temporal fascia on the affected side. The temporal fascial flap is used to replace the defect of the mucous membrane of the cheek, upper and lower lips, in addition, the red border of the lips and the corner of the mouth. The flap is perfusion by aa. temporalis profunda et superficialis. All three flaps perfectly carry out hermetic sealing of the oral cavity, independent perfusion of each flap, even in the case of necrosis of one of the flaps, allows preservation of hermeticism. The use of three flaps with different histological structure allows to achieve a good functional and aesthetic result. Flaps perform various functions, ensuring the functional and anatomical usefulness of the resected tissues. By improving the blood suppling of flaps, we reduce time for patient’s rehabilitation and postoperative damage.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89550954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of consecutive patients who underwent treatment following a diagnosis of appendicitis in a single institution. Between January 2008 and May 2019, 756 adult patients who were diagnosed with acute appendicitis, 101 of these patients (13.4%) had an appendiceal abscess and were treated as inpatients. The treatments of these patients were as follows: non-surgical treatment alone (n=45), emergency operation (n=50) and conversion to emergency operation due to failure of the initial conservative therapy (n=6). The present study analyzed the 45 patients managed with non-surgical treatment alone. The patients were divided, based on the median length of the hospital stay (nine day), into the shorter hospital stay and longer hospital stay groups. The risk factors and predictive factors for prolonged hospitalization were examined in the two groups. Results: Twenty-four patients were classified into the shorter hospital stay group and 21 were classified into the longer hospital stay group. A univariate analysis demonstrated that the body temperature on post-admission days 2 (P=0.012) and 3 (P=0.008), were significantly associated with the length of hospital stay. A multivariate logistic regression analysis using that the body temperature on post-admission day 3 tended to be associated with prolonged hospitalization (odds ratio=8.574, 95% confidence interval=0.973-75.525; P=0.053). The cut-off value of the body temperature on day 3, determined by an ROC curve analysis, was 37.05°C. This cut-off value showed 66.7% accuracy, 57.1% sensitivity and 75.0% specificity. Conclusion: The body temperature on post-admission day 3 might be a potential risk factor and predictive marker for prolonged hospitalization in patients who receive non-surgical treatment for appendiceal abscess.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"6 1","pages":"16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86946017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the basic principle of surgical treatment of cancer is curability, safety, and functionality, early recovery after surgery is also important. While some previous studies focus on physical recovery, there are few studies regarding the perioperative period of cancer patients and their impact on postoperative recovery. This study is aim to clarify psychosocial factors that affect postoperative recovery in cancer patients. The study design is a secondary data analysis of a prospective observational cohort study whose primary purpose was to investigate whether preoperative anxiety predicted onset of postoperative delirium in cancer patients at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Japan. The primary outcome of this study was the length of postoperative hospital stay, and the secondary outcome was postoperative complications. We conducted multivariable regression analysis to determine psychosocial predictors of primary and secondary outcomes. The final analysis included 109 patients. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay was 23.4 (SD = 12.4) days and the incidence rate of postoperative complications was 32.1%. In multivariable regression, preoperative anxiety was positively associated with the length of postoperative hospital stay, while sex (female) and alcohol dependence showed a negative association. Cognitive function was marginally associated with postoperative complications. In conclusion, Appropriate management of preoperative anxiety contributes to early discharge after surgery in cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"48 1","pages":"9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86604124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technical aspects of this procedure typically comprise dissection of celiac trunk, the common and the proper hepatic arteries. The presence of hepatic arterial anomalies is not uncommon and influences surgical technique. An aberrant right hepatic artery (replaced or accessory) or a common hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery are present in nearly 13% of cases and usually run in contact with the posterior aspect of the head of the pancreas. These anomalous arteries are at risk of iatrogenic injury and tumor involvement. Iatrogenic vascular lesions can lead to bleeding and/or ischemic complications, such as anastomotic stenosis, hepatic abscess and liver failure. Also, vascular tumor involvement might require arterial resection and reconstruction. The presence of arterial variations should not affect the radicalness of pancreatic resection as the involvement of aberrant arteries does not seem to affect postoperative outcomes or overall survival. These vascular variations should be, preferably, recognized pre-operatively in order to define possible surgical strategies. Preoperative contrast enhanced computed tomography provides accurate arterial anatomy evaluation. Lastly, aberrant hepatic arteries require proper dissection and/or occasionally resection and reconstruction during pancreatoduodenectomy to achieve a safe resection with proper radicalness. Knowledge of arterial variations is crucial for pancreatic cancer surgery.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"20 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82979500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At our institution, the reconstruction of the recipient RCHA consists of 2 techniques that include either an infrarenal donor iliac artery aortic conduit or a direct donor celiac trunk anastomosis to the proximal RCHA. Our experience demonstrates that the direct anastomosis to the RCHA provides a reliable source of arterial inflow, allows preservation of the recipient arterial anatomy, and minimizes the dissection required to create an infrarenal aortic conduit. Between September 1998 and April 2019, we performed 1782 liver transplants (1230 adults, >18 years; 552 pediatric, <18 years). There were 36 (2.92%) adult and 20 (3.07%) pediatric liver transplant recipients that possessed a RCHA. Allograft and patient survivals were 94.70% and 94.10%, in both the infrarenal conduit and direct Type-V anastomosis cohorts at 1 year, respectively. To date, hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) has not occurred in the 2 cohorts of pediatric transplant recipients. In conclusion, the direct donor celiac trunk to RCHA anastomosis is a safe and effective way to perform arterial reconstruction with low hepatic artery thrombosis and biliary complication rates.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"341 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79523809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Method: This is a retrospective and descriptive study that was carried out for 5 years, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 in the general surgery department of Kara teaching hospital. It is a study which concerned children or adults managed for pathologies of the persistence of the peritoneo-vaginal duct. Results: During our study period, 82 patients were operated for PVDP. The average age was 5 years of extremes ranging from one month to 56 years. Persistence of peritoneo-vaginal duct sat on the right in 69 cases and on the left in 13 cases. It was bilateral in three cases. We operated on a recurrence of a right inguinoscrotal hernia. Among hernias, 6 (7.3%) of inguoscrotal hernias were strangulated. All patients underwent ligation of the peritoneal-vaginal canal. This gesture was associated with an evacuation of the hydrocele in 29 cases; a cystectomy in 3 cases and a course of treatment according to Bassini in 3 cases (patients aged 15 years and over). The six cases of strangulated inguino-scrotal hernias were operated on urgently. There was no bowel resection. The postoperative course was marked by a bursa hematoma in two children which regressed under after one week of monitoring. The average length of hospital stay was 24 hours. No deaths have been reported. No recurrence was observed after one year of follow-up. Conclusion: Pathologies of the persistence of peritoneo-vaginal duct are frequent. They include several pathologies dominated by hernias which are often found in children under 5 years of age. The postoperative operations are often fraught with complications, the most serious of which is testicular atropia. Reducing complications requires early management, improvement of the technical platform and surgical management by a well-trained team.","PeriodicalId":101237,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Surgery","volume":"248 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75911459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
