Objective:To investigate the curative effect of hysterectomy and lymph node dissection with laparoscope or laparotomy on elderly patients with cervical cancer.Methods:60 elderly patients with cervical cancer were enrolled in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016 and randomly divided into two groups.Group A (n=30) accepted hysterectomy and lymph node dissection with laparotomy,and Group B (n=30) adopted same surgery with laparoscope,the operation condition and postoperative recovery were compared between two groups.The intraoperative and postoperative complications of all patients were recorded and analyzed,and the quality of life of patients was evaluated in the following-up period.Results:The number of lymph node dissection in Group B was significantly more than that of Group A (P＜0.05);the intraoperitive blood loss and the times of using postoperative analgesia pump in Group B were significantly fewer than those in Group A (P＜0.05).The time of postoperative exhaust,bladder function recovery,drainage tube retention and hospital stay in Group B were all shorter than those in Group A(P＜0.05).The incidence of massive hemorrhage during operation and postoperative urinary retention and lymphatic cyst in Group B were significantly lower than those patients in Group A (P＜0.05).After operation 3 and 6 month,the I-QOL and FACT-G scores of patients in Group B were significantly higher than those in Group A (P＜0.05).Conclusions:Hysterectomy and lymph node dissection under laparoscope had remarkable curative effect on the elderly patients with cervical cancer,which improved the postoperative recovery and the quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of pancreaticoduodenectomy by using the da Vinci robotic system.Methods The clinical data of 10 patients who received pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) by the da Vinci robotic surgical system at the Ruijin Hospital from March 2010 to March 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The perioperative condition of the patients,incidence of complications and postoperative survival were observed.Results Operations were successfully performed on all the patients,and there was no conversion to open surgery.Nine patients received pancreaticojejunostomy,and 1 received pancreaticogastrostomy.The mean operation time,operative blood loss and postoperative duration of hospital stay were 449.5 minutes (range,405-510 minutes),614 ml (range,340-1100 ml) and 22.7 days (range,14-39 days),respectively.One patient developed pancreatic obstruction which was alleviated by operation.Two patients developed pancreatic fistula and were cured by conservative treatment.One patient developed anastomotic bleeding and was cured by conservative treatment.The results of pathological examination confirmed that 3 patients were diagnosed as with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,2 with duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma,1 with ampullary adenocarcinoma,2 with serous cystadenocarcinoma,1 with carcinoid tumor and 1 with pancreatic duct stone and inflammatory mass.All patients were followed up for 6-12 months.The prognosis of the 9 patients was good,except for 1 patient who had tumor recurrence at the sixth month after operation.No mortality was observed.Conclusion PD performed with the da Vinci robotic surgical system is safe,and its efficacy is comparable to that of open surgery.

Objective To study the relationship between hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR),recovery of liver function,early biliary complications and small-for-size syndrome (SFSS).Methods Early hepatic hemodynamic parameters (including hepatic arterial flow (HAF),portal venous flow (PVF) were measured using duplex Doppler sonography in 34 patients who received living donor liver transplantation (preoperatively n＝26,intraoperatively n=26) and on postoperative days 1,2,3,and 7.Alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBIL) level were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1,2,3,7,14,21,and 28.If TBIL level was elevated,we used B ultrasonography or CT and even ERCP to diagnose early biliary complications.The days taken for AST,AI T and TBIL to recover and the number of patients with early (＜60 days) biliary complications (bile leakage or bile stricture) and with small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) were recorded.Results Passive hepatic artery buffer response (HABR) was present in 11 patients early after living donor liver transplantation (group 1) and it disappeared in 23 patients (group 2).The recovery in days taken for normalization of AST (10.6± 8.8),AIT (11.6±9.0) and TBlL (average of 29) in group 1 were shorter than in group 2.However,the differences did not reach statistics difference (P＞0.05).The overall incidences of early biliary complications and small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) in group 1 were significantly lower than in group 2 (P=0.04).The survival rate in group 1 was 82 ％,compared with 74 ％ in group 2.Conclusions Passive hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR) disappeared in some patients early after living donor liver transplantation.There were high incidences of early biliary complications and small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) in these patients.Measurcment of hepatic buffer response in the early stage after living donor liver tranaplanta tion is valuable for predition of early biliary complications and small-for-size syndrome (SFSS),thus helping to prevent failure in transplantation.
