Objective To explore the safety and applicability of a temporary protective ileostomy that closes itself in the prevention of anastomotic leakage following anterior resection after chemoradiation for rectal cancer.Methods From Oct 2010 to Oct 2013,54 cases of middle or low rectal carcinoma were admitted.Protective ileostomy was created to prevent anastomotic leakage.Patients were divided into two groups receiving respectively intubation ileostomy (group A,28 cases),and conventional ileostomy (group B,26 cases).Results The mean time for anus to restore defecation was identical in the two groups.The period of protection of the anastomosis,was 21 d (15 ～ 35 d) in group A.The rate of spontaneous closure of the stoma after removal of the tube was 100％.The stoma was reduced after 3 to 6 months in group B and major complication developed in one case in this group.Conclusions Temporary ileostomy prevents anastomotic leakage of anterior resection in patients of rectal carcinoma receiving preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.Intubation ileostomy is effective and safe in prevention of anastomotic leakage saving stoma reduction procedures.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of hand-assisted laparoscopic one-stage operation for colorectal cancer with single hepatic metastasis.Methods The clinical data of 6 patients of colorectal cancer with single hepatic metastasis treated with hand-assisted laparoscopic one-stage operation between Aug 2009 and Mar 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Result Procedures were completed successfully in all cases and there was no conversion to open surgery.The mean operation time was (183 ±45) min,the mean blood loss in operation was (165 ±70) ml,the mean time to intestinal function recovery was (69.4 ± 10.5) h,and the average length of stay was (9.5 ±3.2) d.There was no major intraoperative or postoperative complications.All the patients received chemotherapy and up to 30 months follow-up found good condition in all but one dying of widespread intraabdominal tumor metastasis.Conclusions Handassisted laparoscopic one-stage operation for colorectal cancer with hepatic metastasis is feasible and safe.

Objective:To investigate the effects of endotracheal intubation anesthesia versus laryngeal mask anesthesia on the incidence of pulmonary infection in young children undergoing surgery. Methods:A total of 100 young children who underwent surgery under general anesthesia in Hangzhou Children's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly allocated into the endotracheal intubation anesthesia and laryngeal mask anesthesia groups ( n = 50/group). The symptoms of respiratory tract infection (nasal congestion, cough, sputum ringing, rale, and sputum excretion) and the incidence of pulmonary infection evaluated 24 hours after surgery were compared between the two groups. At the same time, the pathogens of infection and perioperative conditions as well as prognosis were also compared between the two groups. Results:The incidences of nasal obstruction, cough, sputum ringing, rale, sputum excretion, and pulmonary infection were 56.0% (28/50), 42.0% (21/50), 14.0% (7/50), rale 38.0% (19/50), 16.0% (8/50), and 38.00 (19/50) respectively in the endotracheal intubation anesthesia group, which were significantly higher than those in the laryngeal mask anesthesia group [28.0% (14/50), 14.0% (28/50), 4.0% (8/50), 24.0% (12/50) 4.0% (2/50), 6.0%(3/50), χ2 = 12.18, 21.47, all P < 0.001]. A total of 34 strains of pathogens were detected in the two groups, including 4 strains in the laryngeal mask anesthesia group and 30 strains in the endotracheal intubation anesthesia group. The 34 strains of pathogens included 7 strains of gram-positive bacteria (20.6%), 23 strains of gram-negative bacteria (67.6%), and 4 strains of fungi (11.8%). There was no significant difference in pathogen composition between the two groups ( χ2 = 1.04, P = 0.310). The time to recovery and the time to extubation in the laryngeal mask anesthesia group were (10.3 ± 3.1) minutes and (13.5 ± 2.4) minutes, which were significantly shorter than those in the endotracheal intubation anesthesia group [(16.1 ± 5.1) minutes, (19.5 ± 4.1) minutes, t = 3.17, 7.19, both P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in the proportion of children who needed prolonged hospitalization and the proportion of children scheduled to undergo readmission between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Conclusion:Laryngeal mask anesthesia is simpler to operate, remarkably decreases the incidence of pulmonary infection, and is safer compared with endotracheal intubation anesthesia. Therefore, laryngeal mask anesthesia is preferred for general anesthesia for surgery in young children. The study is of great innovation and science.
