Objective To report a new approach of splenic hilar lymph nodes dissection in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods 193 cases of gastric cancer patient receiving radical resection of gastric cancer between May 2008 and October 2008 were studied. The tail and body of spleen and pancreas were thoroughly freed with retroperitoneal way retrogressively and extruded out of abdominal cavity in 80 cases. The other 113 cases received operation with routine way. Results In 80 cases who received operation with retroperitoneal approach retrogressively, the total splenic hilar lymph nodes were 519, the positive ones were 65, the positive rate was 12.5 %; In the other 113 cases the total splenic hilar lymph nodes were 565, the positive ones were 58, the positive rate was 10.3 %. The positive rate had statistic significance between these two groups. Conclusion Extruded splenic hilar lymph nodes dissection with retroperitoneal approach retrogressively is safe and has the same effect with splenectomy in gastric cancer operation.

Objective To explore the relations between the post pancreatoduodenectomy pancreatic anastomotic hemorrhage and the length of pancreatic duct endoprosthesis placed in the jejunum.Methods From August 2006 to August 2011,63 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with the adopted child method for digestive tract reconstruction,while pancreaticojejunostomy reconstruction was divided into A,B,C groups.There were 22 cases in A group,and patients underwent pancreaticojejunostomy with anastomosis of the pancreatic stump into the jejunum strapping method,the length of pancreatic duct endoprosthesis placed in the jejunum was 15 cm; there were 21 cases in B group,and patients received the same operation as patients in group A,but the length of pancreatic duct endoprosthesis placed in the jejunum was 5 cm; there were 20 cases in C group,and patients received pancreatic stump and jejunal mucosa anastomosis,the length of pancreatic duct endoprosthesis placed in the jejunum was 5 cm.Results In group A,two cases (9.1％) of pancreatic anastomotic hemorrhage occurred,and patients were cured by conservative treatment.In group B,eight cases (38.1％) of pancreatic anastomotic hemorrhage occurred,and two cases died of gastrointestinal bleeding; 3 cases received surgical operation to stop bleeding,and 3 patients were cured by conservative treatment.There was no anastomotic hemorrhage occurred in group C.The bleeding times of group A and group B were about 15 days after surgery,the difference of incidence of anastomotic bleeding between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =9.428,P =0.009).Conclusions Post pancreaticojejunostomy anastomotic hemorrhage is associated with short length of pancreatic duct endoprosthesis placed in the jejunum.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of pedicled omentum covering the intestinal anastomotic stoma in preventing anastomotic fistula.Methods The clinical data of 133 patients with high risk of intestinal anastomotic stoma who were admitted to the Henan Tumor Hospital from May 2009 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the improvement group (69 patients) and the control group (64 patients) according to whether the anastomotic stoma was covered by pedicled omentum.All the operations were done by the surgeons in the same group,and the intestinal reconstruction was done by the equipment produced by the same company.All the patients with intestinal tumors received radical resection.The clinical data of the patients in the 2 groups were reviewed and the therapeutic effects of the 2 approaches were compared.All data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results Three (4.3％) patients had intestinal fistula in the improvement group,including 1 had small bowel anastomotic fistula,1 had small bowel and colonic anastomotic fistula,1 had colonic anastomotic fistula.Eight (12.5％) patients in the control group had intestinal anastomotic fistula,including 1 had duodenal anastomotic fistula,2 had small bowel anastomotic fistula,2 had small bowel and colonic anastomotic fistula,and 3 had colonic anastomotic fistula.There was a significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic fistula between the 2 groups (x2 =5.483,P ＜ 0.05).The highest body temperatures of the 3 patients in the improvement group were under 38.2 ℃,and the mean white blood cell count was 8.4 × 109/L;no peritonitis was detected; turbid drainage was observed in the peritoneal tube around the anastomotic stoma.The results of computed tomography showed local inflammation.The highest body temperatures of the 8 patients in the control group were above 38.5 ℃,and the mean white blood cell count was 14.4 × 109/L; obvious pressing pain and rebound tenderness were detected; intestinal contents were observed in the peritoneal drainage tube.The 3 patients in the improvement group were cured by symptomatic treatment.Of the 8 patients in the control group,7 received two-stage debridement,and 1 received jejunostomy and 3 received ileostomy.The condition of the 7 patients was recovered after operation,and reversion of the ileum at postoperative month 4.One patient died of multiple organs dysfunction syndrome and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.Conclusion Intestinal anastomotic stoma covered by pedicled omentum could effectively decrease the incidence of anastomotic fistula and alleviate systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by anastomotic fistula.

Objective To investigate the surgical management of huge pelvic tumor.Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with huge pelvic tumor who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Henan Province from February 2005 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Tumor resectability was assessed via enhanced computed tomography or three-dimensional reconstruction,and the tumors were freed and resected by combination of muliiple surgical approaches.All the patients were followed up via telephone or re-examination at the out-patient department to learn the recurrence and metastasis of tumor.The survival rate was calculated using the life table.Results Fifty patients received preoperative computed tomography examination,and the imaging data of 6 patients were three-dimensionally reconstructed.Preoperative evaluation showed that 49 patients needed combined multivisceral resection,5 needed tumor resection,and the tumors of 2 patients were unresectable.Fourteen patients were diagnosed preoperatively,and 8 patients were diagnosed by intraoperative rapid frozen section examination,and the rest 34 patients were diagnosed by postoperative pathological examination.The surgical approaches including anterior median sacral approach combined with transperineal coccyx anterior approach (21 patients),anterior median sacral approach (11 patients),obturator approach (8 patients),retropubic approach (8 patients) and obturator approach combined with transperineal approach of coccyx (8 patients).Tumor and rectum resection was carried out on 18 patients,tumor and partial bladder resection on 12 patients,tumor,uterus and ovariectomization on 12 patients,tumor,part of the small intestine and colorectal resection on 10 patients,tumor and total pelvic exenteration on 4 patients.In all the 56 patients,53 achieved R0 resection,2 cases reached naked eye clean,1 case had residual tumor.The mean operation time was 100 minutes.Fifty patients recovered uneventfully.Six patients had postoperative complications,including 3 patients with intestinal obstruction (2 patients were cured by conservative treatment,and 1 patient was cured by surgery),2 patients with pelvic infection and 1 patient with colostomy hernia,and they were cured by drainage and nutritional support.One patient died of postoperative myocardial infarction.The results of postoperative pathologic study showed that 25 patients were with adenocarcinoma,16 with sarcoma and 15 with gastrointestinal stromal tumor.Forty-seven patients were followup to December 2012,and the 5-year survival rate was 26.7％ for patients with adenocarcinoma,18.9％ for patients with sarcoma,and 52.6％ for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor.Conclusion Preoperative assessment of resectability of huge pelvic tumor can reduce unnecessary laparotomy and improve the safety of operation.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of operation procedure improvement and process optimization for pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods The effect of the duation time of opertion and postoperative complications of operation procedure improvement and process optimization for pancreatoduodenectomy in 98 patients in the Tumour Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from August 2008 to May 2015 were retrospective analyzed.Results The duation time of opertion was 145-205 min,average time was 175 min.There were 5 cases (5.1％) of bile leakage,6 case (6.12％) of pancreatic fistula and 4 cases (4.08％) of hemorrhage,and laparotomy revealed that one of them with pancreas-intestinal anastomotic hemorrhage,the haemorrhage stop after sufficient drainage,but due to infection,organ failure,this case was dead half a year after the operation.The remaining patients recovered uneventfully through open drainage,partial flush,somatostatin application,and other conservative treatment.Conclusion The improved pancreatoduodenectomy can shorten operation time and reduce operation complication,is a safe and feasible method,and worthy of clinical popularization.

Objective To investigate application of modified abdominal closure technique by an all layer in ventro-pelvic part operation and evaluate its value and significance. Methods 3200 cases with ventre-pelvic part operation between May 2002 and Aug 2007, were subjected to single layer closure with non absorbable suture material. The clinic data and some results of follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Results Operative incisions of 1780 (55.6%) cases were in epigastric zone and their rate of primary healing was 98.5%, others (44.3%) in hypogastric zone (including pelvic cavity) and rate of primary healing was 98.2% (P>0.05). Rate of primary healing in older age-group was 97.9% and control group 98.8%, and primary healing of group diabetes 97.4%, control group 98.2% (P > 0.05). Average time of abdmenal closure was only 11±4 min. Primary complications included dehiscence of wound (0.5%), infection (1.4%) and incisional hernia (0.2%). Follow-up (66%) was performed at 30 days, 3 and 6 months, and at 1, 2 and 3 years. Conclusion It is concluded that closure of an abdominal incision can be effected by a multifilament interrupted absorbable sutures without an increased risk of wound dehiscence or incisional hernia, meanwhile economic and fast. It is the optimal method of abdominal closure and can be generalized.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze related factors of subtype transformation and to identify prognostic factors for pa-tients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS). Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 92 patients with RPLS, which were confirmed by postoperative pathology from July 1997 to October 2014 in Henan Provincial Tumor Hospital. Related studies were reviewed, and the prognoses were followed up. The factors may affect subtype transformation or prognoses were applied to the statistical analysis. Results:A total of 74 patients with RPLS were included according to the recruiting standard. The 5-year survival rate was 48.65%. Lobulated tumors (P=0.013) were the correlative factors that influenced subtype transformation. The Log-rank test showed that the age at diagnosis (P=0.045), multi-visceral resection (P=0.042), tumor necrosis (P<0.001), subtype transformation (P<0.001), and malignant level of pathological subtypes of the first operation (P<0.001) influenced overall survival. Multivariate Cox re-gression analysis showed that tumor necrosis and the malignant level of the initial histological grade were independent factors of over-all survival. Conclusion:Lobulated tumors are likely to transform the subtype. The prognosis of patients with RPLS is correlated with multi-visceral resection, tumors necrosis, subtype transformation, and the malignant level of pathological subtypes of the first opera-tion. Multi-visceral resection could not improve the 5-year survival rate of RPLS, and adjuvant therapy could not improve the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of pancreaticoenterostomy by separating and continuous suture on pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 76 patients who underwent curative pancreaticoduodenectomy from March 2002 to October 2014 in Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Of all the patients,43 received pancreaticoenterostomy by separating and continuous suture (study group),and the other 33 patients received BPJ anastomosis (control group).All the patients used Child reconstruction,the diagnosis of pancreatic fistula was made according to ISGPF criteria.The operation time of pancreaticoenterostomy,the incidence of hemorrhage of anastomosis and the incidence of pancreatic fistula were retrospectively analyzed.Results The age,sex,hemoglobin,albumin,total bilirubin,the incidence of co-morbidity of diabetes,extent of surgical resection between 2 groups were comparable without significant difference.In study group,the time of pancreaticoenterostomy was 11 min(8 ～ 15 min),there were 4 patients with class Ⅰ pancreatic fistula,and 1 patient with class Ⅱ pancreatic fistula.No patient developed class Ⅲ pancreatic fistula or anastomotic bleeding.In control group,the time of pancreaticoenterostomy was 16 min(12 ～25 min) which was only available for 5 patients,and no records for other patients.There were 6 patients with pancreatic fistula including 4 patients with class Ⅱ,2 patients with class Ⅲ,while no records for class Ⅰ.Four patients were found to have anastomotic bleeding.Conclusions With the pancreaticoenterostomy by separating and continuous suture method,the surgical field is fully exposed,the suture time is shortened and the incidence of anastomotic bleeding and pancreatic fistula is reduced.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of pedicled omentum in preventing anastomotic leakage after resection of colorcctal cancer complicated with intestinal obstruction.Methods The clinicopathologic data and anastomotic leakage rate of 102 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing resection from Dec.2012 to Dec.2015 were analyzed.Results Seven patients in the control group developed anastomotic leakage.Only 1 patient in the experimental group developed anastomotic leakage.The incidence of anastomotic leakage in the control group was 12％,while that in the experimental group was 2％ (x2 =4.250,P =0.039).Of the 7 patients complicating anastomotic leakage in control group,1 died of multiple organ failure,1 was cured with conservative treatment,and 5 were done with diverting stoma.The one leakage in experimental group was cured by conservative treatment.Conclusion Pedicled omentum is useful in the prevention of anastomotic leakage after resection of colorectal cancer in settings of intestinal obstruction.
