1.Rectal lavage during operation
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2001;11(4):5-11
Lavage on the table of the colon. During 20 months, from June 1995 to February 1997, at the University clinic, Choray and Thongnhat hospitals, 11 lavages on the table of the colon were realized. All patients have the adenocarcinoma of the left colon that 5 obstructions and 6 stenosis. The average of the time of the lavage is 35 minutes, the volume of the lavage water is 13 litres. No death, no leakage of the anastomosis, one infected wound. The author concluded: with the lavage on the table of the colon, one - stage left clectomy could replace two - stage left clectomy in emergency case.

3.Scintigraphic application for myocardial blood irrigation in Cho Ray hospital
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;263(9):64-70
During 5/2000 - 5/2001, the nuclear medicine depar. of Cho Ray hospital implemented the scintigraphic application of myocardial blood irrigation for 144 cases (93 with 99 mTc-MIBI, 33 with 201 TI and 14 with 99m Tc MIBI combined with 201 TI). The results from angiography have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of scintigraphy in the diagnosis of the coronary arterial pathology was 92% and 71.4%, respectively. The scintigraphy for myocardial blood irrigation was a sensitive, noninvasive and valuable method of diagnosis of the coronary arterial pathology

In order to obtain a complete and lees contaminated lung washings from the rabbits, the left lung of rabbit was subjected to lavage with saline by altering the number of washing, i.e.: once, twice and thrice, and surface tension, protein content and phospholipid content of the lung washings were measured. Surface tension was measured by the modified Langmuir-Wilhelmy balance, Phospholipid content was determined by the modified method of Baginski, and protein content by the method of Lowry et al. The results obtained are summerized as follows: 1. The maximal surface tension, minimal surface tension, stability index, protein content and phospholiped content of left lung washings (once) were 53.9+/-2.7 dyne/cm, 11.4+/-8.4 dyne/cm, 1.4+/-0.4, 127.2+/-6.0 ug/ml, and 306.8+/-65.4 ug/ml, respectively. 2. The maximal surface tension, stability index, protein content and phospholipid content of left lung washings (twice) were 55.5+/-2.4 dyne/cm, 5.0+/-2.2 dyne/cm, 1.7+/-0.2, 166.6+/-11.0 ug/ml and 283.5+/-40.1 ug/ml, respectively. 3. The maximal surface tension, minimal surface tension, stability index, protein content, and phospholipid content of left lung washings (thrice) were 53.6+/-2.6 dyne/cm, 6.2+/-2.2 dyne/cm, 1.6+/-0.1, 184.3+/-15.4 ug/ml and 368.3+/-68.2 ug/ml, respectively. 4. The above results indicate that the most optimal number of rabbit left lung washing is twice.

7.Comparative Study of Postoperative Complications in Patients With and Without an Obstruction Who Had Left-Sided Colorectal Cancer and Underwent a Single-Stage Operation After Mechanical Bowel Preparation.
Annals of Coloproctology 2014;30(6):251-258
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative complications for single-stage surgery after mechanical bowel preparation in patients who experienced obstruction and those who did not. METHODS: From 2000 to 2011, 1,224 patients underwent a single-stage operation for left colorectal cancer after bowel preparation. Nonobstruction (NOB) and obstruction (OB) colorectal cancer patients were 1,053 (86.0%) and 171 (14.0%), respectively. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were compared between groups. RESULTS: The OB group had poor preoperative conditions (age, white blood cell, hemoglobin, albumin level, and advanced tumor stage) compared with the NOB group (P < 0.05). Mean on-table lavage time for the OB group was 17.5 minutes (range, 14-60 minutes). Mean operation time for the OB group was statistically longer than that of the NOB group (OB: 210 minutes; range, 120-480 minutes vs. NOB: 180 minutes; range, 60-420 minutes; P < 0.001). Overall morbidity was similar between groups (NOB: 19.7% vs. OB: 23.4%, P = 0.259). Major morbidity was more common in the OB group than in the NOB group, but the difference was without significance (OB: 11.7% vs. NOB: 7.6%, P = 0.070). Postoperative death occurred in 16 patients (1.3%), and death in the OB group (n = 7) was significantly higher than it was in the NOB group (n = 9) (4.1% vs. 0.9%, P = 0.001). Twelve patients had surgical complications, which were the leading cause of postoperative death: postoperative bleeding in five patients and leakage in seven patients. CONCLUSION: Postoperative morbidity for a single-stage operation for obstructive left colorectal cancer is comparable to that for NOB, regardless of poor conditions of the patient.

PURPOSE: We studied the adequate amount of pulse lavage irrigation for removal of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and bone particles after cemented total knee arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study of 8 patients who received cemented total knee arthroplasty between March 2011 and November 2011, was done. The mean age of patients was 74.0 (range 65~84). After component implantation, the knees were lavaged with 10L of normal saline using pulsatile lavage; all fluid was collected in 1 liter using standard wall suction canisters. PMMA and bone particles within the irrigation fluids were quantitated by weight. RESULTS: The average of 413 mg/L (range, 71~999 mg/L) of particle debris was removed after cemented total knee arthroplasty with 1L of irrigation. Average of 230 mg/L (range, 51~432 mg/L), 112 mg/L (range, 32~185 mg/L), 48 mg/L (range, 21~125 mg/L), 47 mg/L (range, 10~120 mg/L), 45 mg/L (range, 5~140 mg/L), 49 mg/L (range, 0~110 mg/L), 46 mg/L (range, 0~107 mg/L), 50 mg/L (range, 5~85 mg/L), 41 mg/L (range, 3~68 mg/L) of debris was removed after the second, third ,fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth liter of pulse lavage irrigation respectively. Using analysis of variance testing, there was a statistically significant difference between the debris removed with 1L and until 4L irrigation (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: The bone debris and PMMA decreased as the amount of irrigation increased, especially most of remnants within more than 5L solution for irrigation were bone particles. 4L of irrigation through pulse lavage is appropriate for removing PMMA and bone particles after cemented total knee arthroplasty because a supplementary irrigation can cause a secondary bone loss.

PURPOSE: Obstructive and inflammatory disease often occurs in the major salivary glands, and no predictive treatment has yet been developed for this condition. The aim of this report was to introduce an intraductal irrigation procedure and to illustrate its application to practical patient cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two patients complaining of pain and swelling in the parotid gland during meals who underwent sialography were diagnosed as having sialodochitis with sialadenitis. Intraductal irrigation was then performed on the parotid gland on the side of the complaint. The irrigation procedure was conducted in the same manner as the sialography procedure, except that saline was used as the filling solution. Symptom severity was evaluated with a numerical rating scale (NRS) at the initial visit and a month after the irrigation. RESULTS: The initial NRS value of patient 1 was 10. The value decreased to 6 and then to 0 after 2 irrigation procedures. The NRS value of patient 2 regarding the symptoms involving the left parotid gland decreased from 4-5 to 1 after 4 irrigation procedures performed at 1-month intervals. CONCLUSION: Intraductal irrigation of the salivary gland may be a simple, safe, and effective treatment option for patients with obstructive and inflammatory disease of the salivary gland that is capable of resolving their symptoms.
