Results of hemorrhoidectomy by CO2 laser versus hemorrhoidectomy by surgical blade. To determine whether hemorrhoidectomy by CO2 laser has any superiority or not in comparison with hemorrhoidectomy by surgical blade, the authors reviewed 152 cases of hemorrhoidectomies within 3 years (1998-2000) at University Medical Centre. 83 cases were operated by CO2 laser and 69 cases were operated by surgical blade. By comparison the early and late results between the two groups, the authors recognized that hemorrhoidectomy by CO2 laser had relieved postoperative pain, apart from that, early and late complications were same.

A restrospective study on 124 patients with the primary liver cancer in Viet duc hospital during 1992-1996 has shown that the post operative mortality rate was 11,3%, mainly in group of patients with the cirrhosis received the hepatic arterial ligation. The duration of postoperative average survival was 9,3 months, 9,4% patients had the survival duration of 23 months, and 1,9% patients had the survival duration of 42 months. 80% patients were dead within 6 month after surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the related factors of tonsil postoperative pain. METHOD: After founding databank a statistic analysis was performed on 90 cases with tonsillectomy who admitted in our hospital. Chi-square test were used to investigate the related factors for postoperative pain in those patients. RESULT: After Chi-square test, the important effect factors in the postoperative pain were gender, age, surgical methods, preemptive analgesia, physical analgesia and preoperative anxiety level. CONCLUSION The pain after tonsillectomy is influenced by not only surgery itself, but also by preemptive analgesia, preoperative anxiety level and so on.

Single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has slowly established itself as an alternate surgical approach for the treatment of an increasingly wide range of thoracic conditions. The potential benefits of fewer surgical incisions, better cosmesis, and less postoperative pain and paraesthesia have led to the technique's popularity worldwide. The limited single small incision through which the surgeon has to operate poses challenges that are slowly being addressed by improvements in instrument design. Of note, instruments and video-camera systems that are narrower and angulated have made single-port VATS major lung resection easier to perform and learn. In the future, we may see the development of subcostal or embryonic natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery access, evolution in anaesthesia strategies, and cross-discipline imaging-assisted lesion localization for single-port VATS procedures.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of nasal septal suture in septoplasty. METHOD: Sixty patients who had undergone septoplasty were allocated into two groups: packing group and suturing group. Post-operative signs and symptoms (visual analogue scale) were compared between the two groups. RESULT: The patients of packing group experienced significantly more postoperative pain, epiphora, tinnitus, ear fullness, sleep disturbance and nasal congestion(P<0. 05). No statistically significant difference between two groups in hemorrhage (P>0. 05). CONCLUSION Nasal septum continuous suture is a feasible method to replace nasal packing after septoplasty.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing major surgery through multimodal perioperative care pathways. Treatment of postoperative pain is of great importance for ERAS. From 2012 to now,the ERAS Society has published seven international guidelines for the abdominal or pelvic surgeries. Each of these guidelines recommended a standardized postoperative multimodal analgesia protocol to improve pain relief and postoperative recovery. Upon these guidelines,thoracic epidural analgesia should be the primary choice for postoperative analgesia of either abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Meanwhile,postoperative multimodal analgesia should contain multiple methods and drugs. In this review,we ellucidate the recommendations on postoperative multimodal analgesia from these seven ERAS guidelines,so as to facilitate the implementation of standardized postoperative multimodal analgesia.

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive technique that has many advantages in postoperative pain and recovery time. Because of its advantages, VATS is one of the surgical techniques widely used in patients with lung cancer. Most surgeons perform VATS for lung cancer with three or more incisions. As the technique of VATS has evolved, single-port VATS for lung cancer has been attempted and its advantages have been reported. We describe our experiences of VATS for lung cancer with a single incision in this report.

Background: Gastric cancer surgery is major surgery and often encountered in surgical. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and the side effect of postoperative patient \ufffd?controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with bupivacaine \ufffd?fentanyl after gastrectomy. Subjects and method:A prospective trial was conducted on 30 patients with gastrectomy because of cancer. Epidural catheter was inserted at level of D7-D9. Postoperative pain relief using PCEA with bupivacaine 0,125% - fentanyl 2\u03bcg/ml: 2ml bolus every 10 min, with basal infusion 2ml/h. VAS during normal tidal ventilation and following cough, the side effects were monitored during 48 hour period. Results: VAS decreased from 6,4 \xb1 1,4 to 2,6 \xb1 0,7, p<0,01 after 15 min. 90% patients had VAS under 2,5 after 1 hour and 100% reached VAS under 2,5 after 8 hours during normal tidal ventilation and following cough as well. Incidence of urinary retention, nausea and pruritus were 13,3; 3,3; and 3,3% respectively. Conclusion: PCEA provided a effective pain control after gastrectomy during normal tidal ventilation and following cough. The side effects remained unusual and minor.

surgery. The most common site for bone graft harvest is the anterior iliac crest. There is usually considerable cancellous bone graft available and it can be obtained with minimal morbidity. However, complications noted in iliac crest grafts include prolonged postoperative pain, hematoma and fracture, gluteal muscle weakness. Occasionally, when large amounts of bone graft are needed and previous harvest procedure had used, iliac bone harvest may be not adequate. Like the iliac crest, the greater trochanter has abundant cancellous bone and is readily accessible with acceptable morbidity. The purpose of this study was to assess the availability of cancellous bone graft from the greater trochanter, compare the quantity with that available from the anterior iliac crest, investigate anatomical hazards, and make recommendations for consistent harvest.]]>

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Compound Chamomile and Lidocaine Hydrochloride Gel for postoperative hypospadias in children. METHODS: From January to December 2020, we treated 116 children with distal hypospadias in the Department of Urology, Department of Pediatrics and the Seventh Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, 58 by primary Snodgrass urethroplasty only (the control group) and the other 58 with Compound Chamomile and Lidocaine Hydrochloride Gel smeared on the penis postoperatively in addition (the trial group). We compared the operation time and postoperative pain score, edema regression and incidence of infection between the two groups, followed by statistical analysis using T test and Chi-square test. RESULTS: All the operations were successfully completed by the same surgeon under general anesthesia. There were no statistically significant differences between the trial and control groups in age (［2.5 ± 0.8］ vs ［2.4 ± 0.6］ yr, P > 0.05) or operation time (［95.6 ± 14.5］ vs ［97.1 ± 15.2］ min, P > 0.05). No incision infection occurred in any of the cases. The pain scores at dressing removal were remarkably lower in the trial than in the control group at 2 hours (1.4 ± 1.0 vs 2.6 ± 1.3, P < 0.05), 24 hours (2.2 ± 1.3 vs 3.9 ± 1.6, P < 0.05), 48 hours (1.2 ± 0.7 vs 1.6 ± 0.9, P < 0.05) and 72 hours after surgery (2.5 ± 0.8 vs 3.7 ± 1.8, P < 0.05). Significantly more cases of edema regression were achieved in the trial than in the control group at 2 weeks postoperatively (35 vs 19, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compound Chamomile and Lidocaine Hydrochloride Gel can effectively relieve pain, reduce edema and accelerate edema regression after surgery in children with hypospadias, and therefore deserves wide clinical application.、.
