1.Early postoperative complication of nearly complete removal of thyroid for treatment of Basedow
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):10-12
Subtotal thyroidectomy under acupuncture anesthesia was successful for graves' disease. The complications in early postoperative period were only 8.77% and no mortality rate. A study on 456 patients who were performed subtotal thyroidectomy between 1993 and 1995 has shown the early complications were as follows: (1) Thyroid storm in early postoperative period were 6 patients (1.31%). (2) Post - thyroidectomy hemorrhage were 3 patients (0.65%). (3) Hypoparathyroidism: 12 patients (2.63%). (4) Postoperation Acute respiratory failure postoperative was 9 patients (1.97%). (5) Recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was 10 patients (2.18%).

Enhanced recovery after surgery is a multimodal perioperative strategy according to the evidence-based medicine and multidisciplinary collaboration, aiming to improve the restoration of functional capacity after surgery by reducing surgical stress, optimal control of pain, early oral diet and early mobilization. Compared with other sub-specialty in general surgery, pancreatic surgery is characterized by complex disease, highly difficult procedure and more postoperative complications. Accordingly, pancreatic surgery shares a slow development in enhanced recovery after surgery. In this review, the feasibility, safety, application progress, prospect and controversy of enhanced recovery after surgery in pancreatic surgery are discussed.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the methods for urethral external meatus and glanuloplasty after correction of hypospadias.
METHODSThe V shape flap on the dorsal side of glan, combined with the bilateral glan flaps were moved to the ventral side. The flap at the ventral side of urethral external meatus was turned over. Then the urethral external meatus was repositioned to the top end of glan with the ventral defects covered by the dorsal flaps. Then the coniform glan was reconstructed.
RESULTSFrom January 2008 to December 2013, 28 cases were treated, including glandular hypospadias, postoperative retraction of external urethral meatus and meatal stenosis. 21 patients were followed up for 1 -12 months (average, 1 month) with marked improvement of glan appearance and retraction of external meatus. No meatal stenosis happened.
CONCLUSIONSPostoperative retraction of urethral external meatus and meatal stenosis can be corrected by V shape flap on the dorsal side of glan combined with the bilateral glan flaps. The flat appearance of glan can be improved. It is an ideal method for glandular hypospadias.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy on postoperative immune function of patients with esophageal carcinoma.
METHODS:
Eighty-one patients undergoing radical esophagectomy in our hospital between January, 2017 and December, 2019 were enrolled in this study.According to the surgical approach, the patients were divided into endoscopic group (41 cases) and open surgery (3 incisions) group (40 cases).The immunological indicators (CD3
RESULTS:
No death occurred in either of the group after the operation.On days 4 and 7 after the operation, CD3
CONCLUSIONS
Thoraco-laparoscopic resection of esophageal cancer can reduce postoperative secretion of proinflammatory factors, alleviate inflammatory responses, and promote the recovery of immune functions to accelerate postoperative recovery of the patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and feasibility of domestically made endoscopic stapling instrument in laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection (Dixon).
METHODSSixty-four patients with rectal cancer were randomly divided into the research group (35 cases) to receive laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection using ENDO RLC general endoscopic linear cutter and single-use loading unit and circular staplers with staples (from REACH medical equipment co.LTD) and the control group (29 cases) to receive surgery with the corresponding products widely used (fom Johnson and Johnson Medical Euipment C.Ltd). The clinical data of the two groups were compared.
RESULTSSatisfactory therapeutic effects were obtained in all the cases. The two groups showed no significant differences in the operative time, intraoperative anastomosis success rate, or postoperative complications (anastomotic bleeding, leakage, or stricture) between the two groups (P>0.05), but the average cost of endoscopic stapling instrument was significantly lower in the research group (6604.31 ± 699.95 vs 7822.28 ± 576.98 RMB Yuan, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe domestic endoscopic stapling instrument is safe, effective and less costly for laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection.

PURPOSE: Bariatric surgery is considered an efficient treatment for severe obesity, but postoperative complications and psychosocial problems may impact quality of life (QoL). Although QoL is an important aspect of bariatric surgery, few studies have evaluated the changes in QoL. We examined whether severely obese patients who had undergone bariatric surgery had better QoL compared with severely obese adults who had not undergone bariatric surgery in Korea. METHODS: Data were obtained from 78 participants in two groups; bariatric surgery group (n = 53) and nonsurgery group (n = 25). EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D), the impact of weight on quality of life-lite (IWQoL-lite) and the obesity-related psychosocial problem scale (OP-scale) were used to assess the improvement of QoL. RESULTS: A total of 78 patients completed the QoL forms as part of their surgical consultation. In the EQ-5D, the changes of EQ-5D 3 level and EQ-5D visual analogue scale in the surgery group was 0.174 and 24.6 versus 0.017 and 17.8 in the nonsurgery group (P = 0.197 and P = 0.179). The changes of IWQoL-lite and OP-scale were significantly improved after bariatric surgery. In the IWQoL-lite, the mean changes in the surgery group was 33.4 versus 14.3 points in the nonsurgery group (P = 0.000). In the OP-scale, the mean changes in the surgery group patients scored 39.3 versus 9.0 points in the nonsurgery group (P = 0.000). CONCLUSION: We demonstrated significant improvement of QoL observed after bariatric surgery compared to nonsurgical procedure. The results of this comparative study favor bariatric surgery for the treatment of severe obesity.

9.Management of duodenal trauma.
Chinese Journal of Traumatology 2011;14(1):61-64
Duodenal trauma is uncommon but nowadays seen more and more frequently due to the increased automobile accidents and violent events. The management of duodenal trauma can be complicated, especially when massive injury to the pancreatic-duodenal-biliary complex occurs simultaneously. Even the patients receive surgeries in time, multiple postoperative complications and high mortality are common. To know and manage duodenal trauma better, we searched the recent related literature in PubMed by the keywords of duodenal trauma, therapy, diagnosis and abdomen. It shows that because the diagnosis and management are complicated and the mortality is high, duodenal trauma should be treated in time and tactfully. And application of new technology can help improve the management. In this review, we discussed the incidence, diagnosis, management, and complications as well as mortality of duodenal trauma.

10.Two cases of postoperative chylothorax treated with parenteral octreotide and conservative therapy.
Korean Journal of Pediatrics 2007;50(3):298-301
Chylothorax is a rare complication following cardiac surgery for congenital heart diseases. Although conservative management is successful in the majority of cases, surgical intervention is required in a refractory one. Recently, subcutaneous or intravenous infusion of octreotide has been used as a safe treatment that helps avoiding surgical intervention. Herein, we report two cases of postoperative chylothorax treated with parenteral octreotide and conservative therapy.
