Objective To summarize surgical experience for the treatment of substernal goiter.Methods 102 cases of substernal goiter underwent surgical resection,in 74 by low collar incision,12 cases by larger low collar incision and pillowing the shoulder pad about 20 degrees for neck hyperextension,8 cases by unilateral or bilateral infrahyoid muscles transection,8 cases by low collar and up-mid-sternal incision plus horizontal sawing in 2 and 3 ribs.Results Resection was performed successfully in all cases.Hoarseness occurred in 7 cases,4 cases recovered after one month,3 cases did not improve because of tumor invasion of laryngeal recurrent nerve.Postoperative transient hypocalcemia in 9 cases recovered after 2 to 3 months.102 patients were followed up for 1 to 3 years without recurrence.Conclusions Substernal goiter can be resected successfully through a transcervical approach or mid-sternal incision.CT scanning and chest X radiograph are decisive for the surgical approach.
5.Recent advances in the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2017;23(10):716-720
In recent years,the morbidity of colorectal cancer (CRC) has gradually increased,and trends to be younger.There are 1.2 million new patients suffering from CRC in the worldwide each year.Even undergoing radical mastectomy,there are still 25% ~ 40% of patients complicated with heterochronic liver metastasis simultaneously.The colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) has become one of the difficulties and the major cause of death,which is diagnosed in 20% of patients at the same time of initial diagnosis.At present,the primary and metastatic cancer on liver resection is recognized as the only way to cure CRLM.In recent years,with the development of surgical technology,the normative use of peri-operative drugs,the collaboration of the mode of multidisciplinary team (MDT) and the development of the technology of targeted therapy,the survival rate of patients has been improved significantly.But the recurrence rate within 1 year is nearly 50 % after hepatectomy.Nearly 80 % of patients with CRLM missed opportunity for surgery when they were first diagnosed.Facing a huge group of CRLM,how to combine the patients' individual characteristics,the periodization of liver metastasis,the preoperative prognosis evaluation,the peri-operative adjuvant therapy and the directional treatment method etc.to form a systematic and effective therapeutic schedule has become the present focus attention,which still contains some outstanding issues.This article reviews the relevant progress.

Purpose:
Oxidized cellulose is available in many forms, but manufactured using either a regenerated or non-regenerated process. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 2 different hemostatic agents for the treatment of local bleeding in patients undergoing hepatic resection.
Methods:
This was a monocentric, parallel-group, randomized, and controlled clinical trial to compare oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze (ORCG) with oxidized non-regenerated cellulose gauze (ONRCG) in patients undergoing hepatectomy. The primary endpoint was the time to hemostasis at the target bleeding site. The secondary endpoints were the postoperative drainage volume on the first 2 days after surgery and the hospital stay.
Results:
There was no significant difference between the ORCG and ONRCG groups in time to hemostasis from column analysis (238.8 ± 121.6 seconds vs. 193.7 ± 85.3 seconds, P = 0.068), and there were no differences in the rates of hemostatic success between the 2 groups at 120 seconds (18.4% vs. 24.3%; odds ratio [OR], 0.703; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.231–2.136) and 300 seconds (71.1% vs. 89.2%; OR, 0.298; 95% CI, 0.085–1.041). However, the ONRCG group was superior to the ORCG group in hemostasis according to the survival analysis (log-rank test, P = 0.044). Moreover, there were also no significant differences between the 2 groups in postoperative drainage volume on the first 2 days (P = 0.436, P = 0.381) and hospital stay (P = 0.537, P = 0.200).
Conclusion
ONRCG was not inferior to ORCG as a hemostatic agent in patients undergoing liver resection.
9.Advances in research on microvascular invasion of liver cancer
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2020;26(7):557-560
Liver cancer is an aggressive malignant tumor. At present, microvascular invasion (MVI) is considered to be an independent risk factor for early recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer, and it is also an important indicator for liver transplant recipient selection. Therefore, preoperative prediction of MVI has important clinical value. It is currently predicted that MVI mainly passes specific serum markers such as des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin and preoperative imaging features. This article reviews the diagnosis, occurrence, preoperative prediction, impact on prognosis and corresponding treatment methods of MVI.
