Objective To explore the operative approach, method,indication,and clinical feasibility of laparoscopic or retroperitoneoscopic treatment of ploycystic kidney.Methods The renal cyst unroofing(bilateral,9 cases;unilateral,4 cases) was performed under laparoscope(2 cases) or retroperitoneoscope(11 cases).The renal adipose capsule was dissected with a harmonic scalpel to fully visualize the whole kidney.According to preoperative positioning results,the cysts at all sizes were exposed.Then all visible cysts were unroofed or fenestrated with a margin 0.5 cm from the renal parenchyma.The cystic fluid was drawn out as much as possible.Results The operations were completed smoothly in the 13 cases.Pneumatothorax developed on the day of laparoscopic operation in 1 case,and then was cured by closed thoracic drainage.The operation time was 50～240 min(mean,139 min),and the blood loss was 10～200 ml(mean,58 ml).Patients began out-of-bed activities in 1～2 days after operation and were discharged from hospital at 3～10 days.The pathological findings were in accordance with changes of ploycystic kidney.Follow-up examinations were carried out for 1～30 months(mean,14.3 months).Back pain was relived in 8 out of 11 cases.In 3 patients with a high blood pressure,the systolic pressure was decreased by 16～19 mm Hg at 9 months after operation.Ten patients presented normal hepatic and renal functions,while the remaining 3 patients with preoperative increased creatinine levels of 194～301 ?mol/L had a drop by 20～40 ?mol/L.Conclusions Treatment of cyst unroofing under laparoscope or retroperitoneoscope is a safe and effective method in the treatment of ploycystic kidney,being worthy of clinical recommendation.

Objective To report the result of bilateral second toes transfer for reconstruction of total hand or total digits defect. Methods A series of 14 total hand or total digits defect were reconstructed by transplantation of 2nd toes from both feet forming a crab-shaped hand. Among 14 cases, 11 cases were males and 3 females. The patients were aged from 4-44 years, with an average of 22.7 years. One of the 14 cases was of congenital deformity and the other 13 were caused by trauma. The 14 cases were classified into three types according to the level of amputation; Type Ⅰ: defect at the distal end of the metacarpal bone with good function of abductor pollicis in 6 cases; Type Ⅱ: at the proximal end of carpus or the level of wrist joint in 5 cases; and type Ⅲ: at the forearm end stump in 3 cases. All the operations were successful. Results All 28 transferred toes survived uneventfully with good blood supply and pulp fullness and elasticity. Follow-up examination made at mean 6.6 years postoperative period (2-15 years) showed that mean total active motion (TAM) of IP joints of reconstructed digit was 57.5? (35?-105?). All the 14 cases had restored digital function, such as opposition of the fingers, pinching a pencil, a key, a needle or holding an ink-bottle. The mean distance between the two reconstructed digital pulps was 4.3 cm (2.6-6.5 cm). Judging by the evaluation standard of British Medical Institute, sensation recovery to S3+ was obtained in 20 digits of 10 cases. Based on the trial criteria of the function of hand reconstruction of hand surgery society of Chinese Medical Association, 2 were assessed as excellent, 7 good, 4 fair and 1 poor. Conclusion Reconstruction of crab-shaped hand for total hand or total digits defect by transfer of bilateral 2nd toes with metatarso-phalangeal joint can give the patient reasonable prehensile function without much impairment to foot function.

Objective To introduce the outcome of compound defect in the hand treated by compound flap transfer or combined flaps transfer. Method From Dec.1983 to June 2001,thirty-five cases with five kinds of compound defect in the hand were treated surgically.Among them,four cases with defect of skin and extensor tendon in the dorsum of hand were repaired by dorsalis pedis flap with tendons;Three cases with longitudinal subtotal loss of distal thumb and one case with longitudinal subtotal loss of distal middle finger were reconstructed with fibular segmental osteo-onychocutaneous flap from great toe or tibial segmental osteo-onychocutaneous flap from second toe;Eight cases with total or subtotal defect at middle part of thumb or fingers were reconstructed with segmental second toe; seventeen cases with defect of thumb and hand skin were reconstructed with combined transplantation of second toe and free skin flap;Two cases with middle finger defect at the base of proximal phalanx were reconstructed with bridging transplantation of bilateral second toe. Result Thirty-three cases were successful.Follow-up period ranged from 0.5 to 5 years postoperatively.The excellent and good rate was 82.9% assessed with provisional functional assessment criterion for upper limbs issued by Chinese Society of Hand Surgery. Conclusion The compound flap transfer or combined flaps transfer was an ideal method in repair of compound defect in the hand.

Objective To investigate the effect of partial nephrectomy of anatomical solitary kidney on tumor control and renal function preservation.Methods 10 patients with anatomical solitary kidney underwent partial nephrectomy from December 2007 to May 2016,including 6 males and 4 females ranged from 38 to 71 years old with an average of 57 years old.The PADUA score ranged from 6-10,with an average of 7.6.The tumor diameter ranged from 1.0 to 7.4 cm,with an average of 3.2cm.Results 7 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery.3 cases underwent open surgery.Mean operation time was 168min (ranged 103-217min).Mean blood loss was 135ml (ranged 20-400ml).The renal arteries were blocked in all patients.The ischemia time ranged from 9 to 33min,with an average of 20.6min.The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate at one week after surgery [40.7ml/(main · 1.73 m2)] decreased 44.7％ compared with pre-operation [73.6 ml/(min · 1.73 m2)].Acute kidney injury developed in 2 patients.One required temporary dialysis.The other improved after conservative treatment.There were no other complications such as urinary fistula and hemorrhage.The pathology analysis confirmed that 2 cases were angiomyolipoma,one case was benign cyst,6 cases were renal clear cell carcinoma,and one case was multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma.4 cases were stage pT1a,one case was stage pT1b,one case was stage pT2a,and one case was stage pT4.Positive margin was found in one case.The average follow-up period was 28.2 months(ranged 3-58months).Only one patient need long-term dialysis 20 months after surgery at the latest follow up.Another patient had local recurrence and ipsilateral adrenal metastasis.Conclusions Satisfactory effect of tumor control and renal function preservation can be achieved by partial nephrectomy in solitary kidney,which prevent or delay the occurrence of hemodialysis effectively.

Objective To introduce our experience of organ transplant ethics committee in living related kidney transplantation.Methods To introduce the composition,operational procedure of ethics committee of transplantation.Results 45 living related kidney transplantation were inspected and censured before operation by organ transplant ethics committee,40 passed and 5 denied.Conclusion The responsibility of transplant ethics committee is highly important,ethics committee has the responsibility to ensure the safety and interests of both donor and recipient.

Objective: Epithelial dysplasia of the esophagus and gastric cardia is precancerous lesion, including mild, moderate and severe levels. In 2000 year, WHO recommended to replace dysplasia with intraepithelial neoplasia. Mild and moderate dysplasia were classified as low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN). Cardia adenocarcinoma was suggested to be called esophageal-gastric junction adenocarcinoma. The risk of cancer development and the rule of time evolution were detected in esophagus and esophageal-gastdc junction LIN in high incidence area of esophageal cancer in Northern China, in an effort to provide scientific data for the prevention of esophageal cancer. Methods: Between October 2001 and October 2002, two townships of Cixian were chosen to carry out endoscopic iodine staining screening cohort study. The total population aged 0-85 was 22,016, of which 6,596 aged 40-69 (3257 males and 3339 females). Except for thoese with contraindications and those who refused to join the study, 3,506 cases were finally recruited in the study, and the screening rate was 53.2%. According to WHO criteria of the pathological diagnosis, the esophageal squamous epithelium with mild and moderate dysplasia and esophageal-gastric junction with mild dysplasia were classified into LIN groups (including 616 cases). The control group contained a total of 2,478 cases without precancerous lesions and free of cancer in endoscopic screening. Results: From June to September in 2008, the cohort was followed up and 174 cases were lost, with a follow-up rate of 95.0%. Follow-up was 3,970.7 person- years in the LIN group and 16,120.0 person-years in the control group.Carcinomous conversion rates were 251.7 and 68.2/per 100,000 person- years respectively in the LIN group and the control group. The median time in the two groups was 38 and 47 months, respectively. Compared with that of the normal population, the relative risk (RR) of LIN was 3.69 (95% CI=1.57-8.69, P=0.001). Conclusion: Population with LIN are at high-risk for esophageal cancer and endoscopic examination every year is absolutely necessary.

BACKGROUND: Following renal transplantation, native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor occurs not only on one side, but also on both sides simultaneously or continuously.OBJECTIVE: To describe a new procedure in managing native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor, in which, retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was first done followed by transurethral resection of ureteral orifice, and finally the kidney and the complete ureter with a bladder cuff were taken out through a midline abdomen incision, and to validate its feasibility.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A technique modification experiment was performed at the Department of Urinary Surgery, Third Hospital, Peking University between July 2004 and March 2006.PARTICIPANTS: Eight patients (7 males and 1 female) with native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor who received laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection were included into this study. Of them, 4 cases had bilateral lesions. Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection was conducted 12 times totally.METHODS: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was first done in the lateral decubitus, followed by transurethral resection of the ureteral orifice with resectoscope in the lithotomy position, and finally, an incision was created in the lower midline abdomen to allow dissection of the distal ureter and bladder cuff and intact specimen extraction. Postoperatively, intravesical chemotherapy was routinely performed to prevent tumor recurrence. The patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, and once a year thereafter.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Surgery time, blood loss volume, pathological report, tumor recurrence time, tumor-free survival time, and complications.RESULTS: The mean surgery time was 3.8 hours (range: 2.5-7 hours). The mean hemorrhage volume was 240 mL (range: 50-1 200 mL). Two cases needed blood transfusion, 600 and 1 000 mL, respectively. Transitional cell carcinoma grade Ⅲ was found in 3 cases, grade Ⅱ in 4 cases, and grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ in 4 cases. In addition, there was 1 case presenting with tumor breaking through the serous membrane of the ureter and 1 case suffering from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The tumor recurred locally in one case 6 months after surgery, and the remaining cases all survived in a tumor-free state.CONCLUSION: After renal transplantation, laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection through a lower midline abdomen incision is feasible for treatment of native renal pelvic or ureteral tumor, with low tumor recurrence rate and satisfactory excision effects.

Objective To explore small size toe tissue flap for aesthetic reconstruction of the thumb and / or finger. Methods Six kinds of small size toe tissue transplants had been applied in repairing skin-bone-joint composite tissue defects of the thumb or finger in 74 cases. Results Among 83reconstructed flaps of the 74 patients, 81 flaps survived completely. Follow-up examination made three to forty-eight months postoperatively showed that the outward appearance were excellent in most cases. The function of the thumbs or fingers were good. The donor feet can walk normally with no pain. Conclusion A variable combinations of toe tissues including skin, soft tissue, bone and joint can be harvested to form a lot of small size transplants for refined aesthetic reconstruction of thumb and finger. The functional and aesthetic results are good and the treatment course is shortened.

Objective To explore if it is essential to excise ipsilateral adrenal gland in radical nephrectomy.Methods Two hundred and sixty-three patients underwent radical nephrectomy were analyzed retrospectively.The duration of operation,bleeding volumn,complications and survival rates were compared between the adrenalectomy and adrenal preserved groups.The clinical data of the patients with adrenal gland involvement were analyzed as well.Results There were 214 clinical localized(T_(1-2)N_0M_0 )renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients,26 local advanced RCC(T_(3-4)N_(0-2)M_0 ) patients and 23 metastatic RCC(T_(1-4)N_(0-2)M_1) patients in this study.In the 263 patients,146 cases received ipsilateral adrenal gland excisions,while 117 cases had the ipsilateral adrenal glands preserved.The duration of operation,estimated blood loss and the complications did not differ significantly between these two groups.Only 8 patients had adrenal gland involvement.The mean size of the 8 tumors was 9.7 cm and 5 of them had a diameter ≥8 cm.In the 8 patients,6 had the tumor in the upper pole and 2 had the whole kidney involved.One hundred and twenty-nine clinical stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients had ipsilateral adrenal excised,while only 4 (3.1%) had adrenal gland involvement.Seventeen clinical stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients had ipsilateral adrenal excised,and 4 (23.5%) had adrenal gland involvements.The clinical stages of these 8 patients were stage Ⅲand Ⅳ.The patients were followed up for 28 months (3-102 months).There was no significant difference of 5-year survival rates between the ipsilateral adrenal gland excised and preserved patients categorized according to pathological stage.Conclusion For patients with renal cancer larger than or equal to 8 cm,localized in upper pole of kidney or with the whole kidney involve and with a clinical stage higher or equal to Ⅲ,it is essential to excise ipsilateral adrenal gland in radical nephrectomy,otherwise the ipsilateral adrenal can be preserved.

Objective We report our initial experience with laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for radical cystectomy and urinary diversion performed by a single surgeon using homemade singleport device.Methods From December 2010 and April 2011,7 LESS radical cystectomy were performed using a home-made single-port device composed of an inverted cone device of polycarbonate and a powderfree surgical glove.7 patients were all male,mean age was 66 (54-81) years and mean BMI (Body mass index) was 23.1 (20.9-25.3) kg/m2.The port was placed into a 5 cm periumbilical skin incision.The conventional laparoscope and laparoscopic instruments were inserted through the single-port.No additional ports were needed for radical cystectomy and bilateral standard pelvic lymphadenectomy.Cutaneous ureterostomy (3 cases) and ileal conduit urinary diversion (4 cases) were used for patients.Operative time,estimated blood loss,postoperative recovering time,oncologic data and complications were collected and analyzed.Results All the procedures were completed successfully.The mean operative time was 210.1 (155-280) minutes.The estimated blood loss was 300 (100-500) ml.The bowel recovering time 8 (4-12) days and postoperative hospital stay was 20 (13-34) days.One patient required a transfusion of 400 ml red blood cells.The pathologic evaluation revealed that there were one case of pT1N0M0,two of pT2aN0M0,two of pT2bN0M0 and two of pT3aN0M0.The high grade tumor in 4 cases and low grade in 3 cases.The surgical margins were negative in all the patients.All patients were node negative.After the operations,one case had a small bowel obstruction after three days and was treated by abrosia,fluid infusion and gastrointestinal decompression.Another patient died of cardiac disease at first day postoperative.Conclusions In our experience,LESS for radical cystectomy could be clinically feasible for selected patients,but it requires the learning curve.
