Objective To investigate the monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)function during thyroid surgery by recording the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of lateral cricoarytenoid muscle(LCA) under block anaesthesia of the cervical plexus. Methods Nicolet Endeavor CR(Viasys Healthcare, USA) was applied for the intraoperative monitoring. A pair of needle electrodes were inserted into LCA to record CMAP, and a concentric electrode was used to intermittently stimulate the RLN for monitoring the RLN function during operation under block anaesthesia of the cervical plexus.Results In these 28 cases 31 RLNs were exposed during operation, CMAPs appeared with consistent latency when stimulation was applied at the exposed segment. The stimulating intensity threshold ranged from 0.2 to 1.6 mA. The average value was 0.96 mA. 25 of 31 showed CMAPs with consistent latency when stimulation was provided along the possible pathway of the unexposed segment. The stimulating intensity threshold ranged from 1.3 to 3.5 mA. The average value was 2. 03 mA. 6 of 31 did not evoked CMAP even though the maximal stimulating intensity was 5 mA. When these six nerves were exposured, compound muscle action potential were evoked consistently. All of the 28 patients had normal phonation function after surgery.Conclusions It is a safe, effective and feasible method to monitor the RL N function by recording the CMAP of lateral cricoarytenoid muscle under block anaesthesia of the cervical plexus.

Objective:To explore the treatment of iatrogenic injury to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:From January 2009 to December 2016, 14 patients were treated at Department of Arthropathy, Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital for iatrogenic MCL injury in primary TKA (injury group). They were 3 males and 11 females with an age of (72.6±3.9) years. The MCL injury was body rapture in 9 cases and avulsion of femoral insertion in 5 ones. Interlacing suture was used for body rapture and reparative reconstruction with wire anchors or nails was performed for avulsion of femoral insertion. A restrictive condylar prosthesis was used instead in the 4 patients whose medial stability failed to be restored after repair of body rapture. A control group of 21 cases was enrolled who had suffered from no iatrogenic MCL injury in primary TKA at the corresponding period. There were 5 males and 16 females with an age of (73.2±3.9) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of American Knee Society Score (KSS) and knee flexion.Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in preoperative general data, showing comparability between groups ( P>0.05). The injury group was followed up for 18 to 36 months (mean, 33 months). Joint loosening was observed at 18 months after operation in 3 patients with nonrestrictive prosthesis who had to receive secondary revision. At the 36-month follow-up of the remaining 11 patients, normal knee extension and flexion was observed, the stress test of valgus showed no inner relaxation, their KSS increased significantly from preoperative 50.0±22.7 to 93.3±4.7, and their knee flexion was improved significantly from 90.4°±10.3° to 110.7°±8.8° ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in KSS score or knee flexion between the 2 groups at 3, 6, 12 or 36 months after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Iatrogenic MCL injury in primary TKA should be repaired and reconstructed by one-stage surgery because the patients can achieve curative results similar to those for the patients free from iatrogenic MCL injury in primary TKA.

Objective:To investigate the effect of reverse saphenous nerve neurocutaneous flaps for skin defects of forefoot with the help of the three dimensional computerized tomography angiography(3D-CTA).Methods:From November 2013 to February 2018, 19 patients with anterior foot defects were treated in the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang. There were 12 males and 7 females. The patients ranged from 16 to 45 years old, with an average age of 29.6 years. Preoperative 3D-CTA examination of the ipsilateral foot was performed to find out the blood vessels in the donor site, to determine the location, course, length of the superficial branch of the medial plantar toe artery and its relationship with the surrounding tissues, and to design the medial saphenous nerve nutrient vessel skin flap for retrograde repair of the skin and soft tissue defect at the front of the foot. Sensitive recovery were evaluated according to Swanson evaluation of clinical effect of peripheral nervous impairment.Results:Preoperative three-dimensional CT angiography showed that the superficial branches of the medial plantar toe artery were detected, and the perforating vessels during the operation were basically consistent according to the result of the examination. The 19 cases of forefeet skin detects were successfully reconstructed with the reverse saphenous nerve neurocutaneous flaps. All patients were followed up with the mean of 8 months. All flaps survived totally without diabrosis and swelling. The walking and weight-bearing were normal and the blood supply of foot were good. The functional recovery of foot and ankle was excellent in 8 cases, good in 10 cases and middle in 1 case. The sensory recovery of the forefoot: S4 5 feet, S3 10 feet, S2 4 feet; R4 3 feet, R3 9 feet, R2 7 feet.Conclusions:Preoperative 3D-CTA examination can confirm the anatomy of the superficial branch of the medial toe base artery in the donor site and guide the design of the medial saphenous nerve nutrient vessel flap for retrograde repair of skin and soft tissue defects of the distal foot. The blood supply is reliable, the wound is small and the effect is satisfactory.

Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics of esophageal reflux after total gastrectomy (ERATG), and to explore the mechanism of occurrence.Methods:Fourteen gastric cancer patients who underwent total gastrectomy were prospectively enrolled in this study. The postoperative symptoms were observed and recorded and 24 h MII-pH with pH monitoring was performed to investigate the characteristics of postoperative reflux.Results:After total gastrectomy patients were with different degrees of ERATG as heartburn, appetite loss, chest tightness and belching. The overall nature of ERATG is mainly weak acid, with a pH between 4 and 7. ERATG involved esophageal-jejunal anastomosis and a length of esophagus 7 cm above the anastomosis. Patients with typical reflux symptoms had a lower pH minimum in the upright position than those without typical symptoms[(4.76±0.71) vs.(5.68±0.37), t=2.866, P<0.05]. Patients with typical reflux symptoms had a higher frequency of reflux of mixed liquid and liquid-air reflux than those without typical symptoms[liquid(31.25±29.76) vs.(4.50±9.14), t=0.011, P<0.05; liquid-air(19.50±12.99) vs.(2.00±2.61), t=0.004, P<0.05]. Conclusion:ERATG is mainly a upward reflux of weakly acidic gas, with typical symptoms of heartburn, appetite loss, chest tightness and belching. Patients with typical symptoms usually have lower pH in the upright position.
