Objective:To investigate the efficacy of early minimally invasive catheterization continuous abdominal lavage and drainage in treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) .Methods:170 SAP patients admitted to Quzhou People’s Hospital from Jan. 2016 to Jun. 2020 were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 85 cases in each group, according to the random number table method. The control group received comprehensive medical treatment, while the observation group received early minimally invasive catheterization continuous abdominal lavage and drainage intervention based on the control group. The efficacy and complications after 1 week of treatment were evaluated. Besides, the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and acute physiology and chronic health II (APACHEII) were scored, liver and lung function indexes [oxygenation indexes, oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ], and inflammation indexes [C-reactive protein (CRP) , tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) ] were measured before and 1 week after the treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the treatment in the observation group was 91.77%, which was significantly higher than 77.65% in the control group ( P<0.05) . The level of IAP, APACHEII score, AST, ALT, CRP, TNF-α, MIP-1α of the two groups after 1 week of treatment decreased significantly compared with those before treatment, while the oxygenation index and PaO 2 increased significantly. The levels of IAP, APACHEII score, AST, ALT, CRP, TNF-α, and MIP-1α in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after 1 week of treatment, while the oxygenation index and PaO 2 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . The incidence rates of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) , sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in the observation group were: 8.24%, 11.76% and 15.29%, significantly lower than 21.18%, 29.41% and 30.59% in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Early minimally invasive catheterization continuous abdominal lavage and drainage in treatment of SAP is safe and effective, which can significantly inhibit pro-inflammatory factors, and protect liver and lung function.

Objective:To analyze the learning effect of laparoscopic radical cystectomy(LRC)+ modified ileal conduit(MIC).Methods:From 2014 to 2019, 42 patients underwent MIC and their clinical data was retrospectively analyzed. 34 operations were performed by surgeon 1 and 8 operations by surgeon 2. We divided the 34 patients of surgeon 1 into three groups according to their surgical sequence (group A, 1st to 12th; group B, 13th to 23th; group C, 24 th to 34 th), the 8 cases of surgeon 2 was regarded as group D. The history of abdomen surgery in the 4 groups were 0, 1, 4, 3 cases, respectively ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the other baseline characteristics, such as age, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists. Then we compared several variables between the 4 groups like operation time, time of ileal conduit construction, blood loss, complication rate, lymph node yield, surgical margin, etc. The key steps of the MIC included isolating terminal ileum when the mesentery was transilluminated, performing end-to-end reflux ureterointestinal anastomosis after the efferent loop was fixed, closing the rent of the retroperitoneum. Results:All operations were performed intracorporeally with no transition to open surgery. The operative time for group A, B, C were 330.0(320.0, 360.0)min, 300.0(250.0, 308.0)min, 270.0(216.0, 324.0)min, respectively ( P =0.010). The time of ileal conduit construction of the 3 groups were 136.5(131.3, 147.5)min, 92.0(79.0, 119.0)min, 79.0(72.0, 115.0)min, respectively ( P <0.001). In addition, the difference of the two variables above between A and B, A and C groups separately reached statistical significance ( P<0.05), while the difference between B and C groups did not ( P>0.05). Other variables, such as blood loss, complication rate, lymph node yield, surgical margin, between the 3 groups reached no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The operative time of group D was 420.0(350.0, 450.0)min, and it reached statistical significance ( P<0.05) when compared with group A. There were no significant differences in other variables, such as blood loss, complication rate, lymph node yield, surgical margin, among the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The learning effect of LRC+ MIC was obvious. When surgeon volume increased, the operative time decreased significantly. Variables like estimated blood loss and complication rate of the 2 surgeons did not reached significant difference, which indicated reproductivity and safety of this procedure.
