OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effect of the double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision and with three minimal incisions. Methods: From Jul. 2010 to May 2012, 268 cases (Group A) received double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision, while 102 cases (Group B) underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty with three minimal incisions. Photos were taken immediately, and 1,2, 4, 8,12 weeks after operation. Operation time, recovery time and postoperative complications were evaluated and recorded. The operation time and recovery time were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test. The postoperative complications were analyzed by chi square test. The satisfactory degree was analyzed by t test.

RESULTSThe operation time in Group A was (25.63 ± 3.74) min, compared with that (29.90 ± 4.13) min in Group B (Z = -8.011, P <0.01). Meanwhile, the recovery time in Group A was shorter than that in Group B (Z = -15.887, P <0.01). The occurrence rate of postoperative complications,including hematoma,recurrence and scar hyperplasia in Group A was also lower than that in Group B. At the same time, the satisfactory degree in Group A was(97.302 ± 1.764), which was higher than that(88.628 10.880) in Group B (t = 12.650, P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision, which is suitable for all cases except those who has serious blepharochalsais, has more advantages than double eyelid blepharoplasty with three minimal incisions.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the success of external cephalic version.Methods:Pregnant women who underwent an external cephalic version due to breech or transverse presentation by the same operator in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2015 to July 2021 were selected as the study objects. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to explore the clinical factors influencing the success of the external cephalic version. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the best cut-off value of gestational week and amniotic fluid index at the time of operation and to evaluate the predictive value of the influencing factors on the success of the external cephalic version.Results:(1) A total of 118 cases finally entered this study. Among the 118 cases,77 cases (65.3%) succeeded in the external cephalic version, among which the success rate was 49.1% (27/55) for primipara and 79.4% (50/63) for multipara. The vaginal delivery rate was 56.8% (67/118). (2) Complications occurred in 19 (16.1%) of the 118 cases. The main complications were abnormal fetal heart rate (13 cases, 11.0%), umbilical cord presentation, and fetal position reversion (two cases and 1.7% in each), and the serious complications were intrauterine fetal death and placental abruption (one case and 0.8% in each).The complication rate of patients with successful external cephalic version was 7.8% (6/77), which was lower than that of those who failed the external cephalic version [31.7%(13/41)] ( χ 2=11.33, P=0.001). (3) Multivariate analysis showed that gestational week at surgery before 38, amniotic fluid index >11.10 cm, and multipara were the factors affecting the success of the external cephalic version [ OR(95% CI)=0.561(0.351-0.897), 1.173(1.018-1.351) and 4.201(1.547-11.404), all P<0.05]. (4) The area under the ROC curve of the combination of the gestational week at surgery, amniotic fluid index, and parity was 0.744 (95% CI: 0.640-0.848, P<0.001), and the Youden index was 0.518, with a sensitivity of 70.0% and a specificity of 81.8%. Conclusion:Gestational weeks, amniotic fluid index, and multipara are related to the success of the external cephalic version, and the combination of the three has certain predictive power for the success of the surgery.

Objective To explore the effect of Endoanal advancement flap(ERAF)and transanal opening of interphincteric space(TROPIS)in the treatment of complex anal fistula and their impact on anorectal pressure,so as to provide a reference for clinical selection of surgical methods.Methods Eighty-four patients with complex anal fistula admitted from October 2018 to October 2022 were divided into group E received ERAF treatment(n=48)and group T received TROPIS treatment(n=36).The clinical efficacy,operation,wound surface and anorectal pressure of the two groups were compared.Results The effective rate of treatment in Group T was 97.22％,which was higher than that in Group E(87.50％),with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).The surgical time[(31.53 ±7.29)minutes],intraoperative bleeding volume[(29.56±7.37)ml],and wound area[(10.03± 0.96)cm2,(8.76±0.87)cm2,(6.20±0.77)cm2]on the day of surgery,7 and 14 days after surgery in Group T were all smaller than those in Group E[(35.36±8.54)min,(36.86±8.04)ml,(12.09± 1.23)cm2,(10.52±1.09)cm2 and(7.36±0.85)cm2](P＜0.05).After surgery,the VAS score and Wexner incontinence score of Group T were(1.38±0.27)and(0.21±0.08),respectively.Group E was(1.56±0.29)and(0.33±0.09),respectively.In group T,the anorectal systolic pressure at 20 mm and 30 mm and the anorectal resting pressure at 20 mm and 30 mm were(138.18±29.58)mmHg,(136.22±35.41)mmHg,(35.47±6.58)mmHg,and(32.97±8.01)mmHg,respectively.In Group E,the data was(152.78±31.53)mmHg,(156.29±32.74)mmHg,(38.29±7.62)mmHg and(36.41±7.63)mmHg,respectively.Both groups showed a decrease in score and anorectal pressure,and group T was lower than group E(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in Group E was 20.83％,which was higher than that in Group T(11.11％),but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion TROPIS has a better effect in the treatment of complex anal fistula,which can shorten the operation time,reduce intraoperative bleeding,reduce postoperative pain,and protect anal function.
