OBJECTIVETo sum up the clinical experience of liver transplantation.
METHODA retrospective study was made in 11 patients receiving living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)/and 14 patients having orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), including one time operation of reduced size liver retransplantation and one time operation of cadaveric liver retransplantation.
RESULTSThe voluntary donors were a sister and 10 mothers of recipients. The location of graft included 3 patients of segment II, III, part of IV (not including intermediate hepatic veins), 6 patients of segment II, III, IV (including intermediate hepatic veins), and 2 patients of V, VI, VII, VIII (not including intermediate hepatic veins). The weight range of graft was 270 - 620 g. Twenty-four recipients achieved a long-term survival and retained normal liver function during the follow-up. Only 1 patient died from serious rejection on the 72nd day postoperatively. Ten patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were treated with lamivudine and anti-HBVIg, and HBV-DNA in serum was negative during the follow-up for 4 approximately 21 months. Copperoxidase, ceruloplasmin and main indexes of liver function became normal in all patients with Wilson's Disease. Postoperative complications included abdominal hemorrhage (2 patients), acute respiratory distress syndrome (5), acute rejection (4), and acute renal function failure (2).
CONCLUSIONSThe wise solution to improve the result of liver transplantation and optimize liver resources is the "multimodal approach", by which all kinds of techniques for liver transplantation including CLT, LDLT and RSLT should well developed.

3.Research progress of causes and strategies in revision surgery for atlantoaxial dislocation.
China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2022;35(5):495-499
Atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) is a kind of life-threatening atlantoaxial structural instability and a series of neurological dysfunction caused by common multidisciplinary diseases. The operation risk is extremely high because it is adjacent to the medulla oblongata and the location is deep. With the increase of the number of operations in the upper cervical region, postoperative complications such as failure of internal fixation, non fusion of bone graft and poor prognosis gradually increase.Incomplete primary operation, non fusion of bone graft, infection and congenital malformation are the potential causes. In addition, considering the objective factors such as previous graft, scar formation and anatomical marks changes, revision surgery is further difficult. However, there is currently no standard or single effective revision surgery method. Simple anterior surgery is an ideal choice in theory, but it has high risk and high empirical requirements for the operator;simple posterior surgery has some defects, such as insufficient reduction and decompression;anterior decompression combined with posterior fixation fusion is a more reasonable surgical procedure, but many problems such as posterior structural integrity and multilevel fusion need to be considered.This article reviews the causes and strategies of AAD revision surgery.

The emerging endoscopic technologies are proved to be effective treatments for obesity in selected patients and to offer the potential advantages of reduced invasiveness, reversibility and repeatability. From the view of operation principle, endoscopic technologies can be classified as restrictive procedure, malabsorption procedure and endoscopic revision of gastric bypass. Restrictive procedures include intragastric balloon, aspiration therapy, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and transoral gastroplasty. Intragastric balloon employs space occupying, volume restriction and satiety mechanisms, which is superior to drugs and lifestyle change, but shorter than sleeve and bypass surgery. Aspiration therapy is similar to standard percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, while there are no available data regarding the obesity and metabolic improvement. Compared with traditional bariatric surgery, ESG does not excise gastric tissue with less complications and without weight regain, but it can not be used as an independent operation still now. Transoral gastroplasty is rarely applied clinically whose efficacy and long-term complications need further studies. Malabsorption surgery includes endoscopic duodenojejunal bypass sleeve (EDJBS) and endoscopic gastroduodenojejunal bypass sleeve(EGDJBS). EDJBS may have the similar mechanism like bypass reducing the blood glucose. Even with obvious effect of weight loss, EDJBS has high morbidity of complications and requirements of the skilled operators. EGDJBS, which imitates bypass anatomy changes and belongs to the mixed operation, should be superior to the above procedures in reducing weight theoretically, but due to the lack of clinical data, its short-term and long-term efficacy still need further clinical observation. As compared to the complexity and risks associated with telescopic surgical revision, endoscopic suturing has been confirmed as less invasive and safer for stomal revisions, while its long-term efficacy of reducing weight and improvement of diabetes are not yet clear. Even if long-term efficacy of reducing weight and morbidity of complication in endoscopic bariatric surgery are still indefinite, and clinical trial researches of large sample and long-term follow-up are absent, with the development of endoscopic skill and the gradual clinical application, endoscopic bariatric surgery will provide a new option for the patients of obesity and metabolic diseases.

Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 2009;23(4):309-311
A 32-year-old female who had undergone the silicone oil removal procedure presented with visual disturbance in her left eye. Several months previous, she had cataract surgery in a private clinic, and a month later she had a Nd:YAG laser procedure for posterior capsulotomy. The slit-lamp examination revealed silicone oil droplets that had adhered to the intraocular lens where the posterior capsulotomy was performed. She had experienced high myopia as a manifestation of the resulting refractive changes. We replaced the previous intraocular lens with a new acrylic intraocular lens with resulting improvement to her vision. Here we report the case of a female patient with a history of silicone oil removal surgery where the resulting silicone bubbles had not been removed thoroughly and remained in the vitreous cavity. These bubbles subsequently adhered to the intraocular lens following YAG laser posterior capsulotomy, resulting in refractive changes. We recommend that implanting a silicone intraocular lens in anyone with a history of the silicone oil removal procedure or who has a possible history of silicone oil use should be avoided.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety, efficacy and long-term patency of parallel shunts (PS) in the management of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 2007 and October 2010, 18 patients (13 men and 5 women) who underwent TIPS revision with the creation of PS were evaluated retrospectively. In the first 10 patients, a 10-mm-diameter Wallgraft endoprosthesis was deployed; in the latter 8 patients, an 8-mm-diameter Fluency endoprosthesis was deployed. RESULTS: The creation of PS was technically successful in all patients. The mean +/- standard deviation portosystemic pressure gradient before and after the procedure was 25.5 +/- 7.3 mm Hg (range, 16-37 mm Hg) and 10.9 +/- 2.3 mm Hg (range, 7-16 mm Hg), respectively. The duration of follow-up was 16.7 +/- 10.8 months (range, 6-42 months). The primary shunt patency rates at 12 months after the creation of PS was 70% with Wallgraft endoprostheses and 87.5% with Fluency endoprostheses. CONCLUSION: TIPS revision with the creation of PS is a safe, effective and durable method for treating shunt dysfunction.

OBJECTIVETo study the etiology and preventive measures of the long-term postoperative complication after esophageal replacement with colon for esophageal benign disease.
METHODSTo review the clinical data of 577 patients with esophageal replacement with colon our department, including 123 cases of esophageal benign disease. Of all, there were 25 cases-time for 11 cases following with severe complication: redundancy and dilated colon 12 cases-time, severe stricture of stoma 4, macrocyst esophagus 2, colon-stomach stoma expansion 4, mechanical obstruction of colon 3. The etiology included iatrogenic and functionality. The therapy included stricture form or resection, redundancy segment resection, obstructed segment solution and stoma resection and form.
RESULTSEight cases underwent once operation, 2 case twice, 1 case three times. After operation, 9 cases took food normally, 2 improved symptoms obviously.
CONCLUSIONSThe iatrogenic and functionality factor contributed to severe complication after esophageal replacement with colon for esophageal benign disease. The preventive measure is followed during operation: cervical esophageal-colon anastomosis exceed 2.5 centimeter, abdominal colon-stomach anastomosis reflux, channel width of colon passage, intestinal canal lay up straight. Re-operation is best choice to for local stricture, colon expansion, redundancy and dilated colon.

Postoperative complications after gastric cancer surgery has their own specificity and complexity, and the strategies for prevention and treatment should be of equal emphasis on both theory and technology. Based on the knowledge and familiarity with different postoperative complications, to efficiently prevent them, it is not only necessary to strengthen the training of acknowledged operative strategy, smooth and precise surgical techniques, but also to address the importance of overall preoperative assessment for patients, to treat the basic diseases, and to improve and correct their general conditions. Combining with the concept and basic protocol of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), it is preferred to work out an individualized perioperative preventing strategy for patients who have high risk factors of specific postoperative complications. After the operation, to guarantee intensive and individual managements for patients, to catch early abnormal signs, then to make early and precise diagnosis, and to do timely response and accurate treatments, including timely and proper re-operations, can improve the efficacy of complications and promote the recovery of patients as soon as possible.

PURPOSE: To report the case of a silastic sheet that was found during an endoscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy for treatment of acute dacryocystitis with necrosis of the lacrimal sac. METHODS: A thirty-two year old male presented with painful swelling on the nasal side of his left lower lid two weeks prior to visiting this clinic. Fourteen years ago, the patient was involved in a traffic accident and underwent surgery to reconstruct the ethmoidal sinus. Lacrimal sac massage showed a regurgitation of a purulent discharge from the left lower punctum. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with acute dacryocystitis and an endoscopic transnasal dacryocystostomy was performed the next day. RESULTS: The surgical finding showed severe necrosis around the lacrimal sac and a 20 x 15-mm sized silastic sheet was found crumpled within the purulent discharge. The sheet was removed, the lacrimal sac was irrigated with an antibiotic solution, and a silicone tube was intubated into the lacrimal pathway. After surgery, the painful swelling on the nasal side of left lower lid resolved gradually, and there were no symptomatic complications three months later. CONCLUSIONS: We report the first case where a silastic sheet applied during a facial reconstruction had migrated adjacent to the lacrimal sac resulting in severe inflammation.

Patients presenting for emergency abdominal procedures often have medical issues that cause both general anaesthesia and central neuraxial blockade to pose significant risks. Regional anaesthetic techniques are often used adjunctively for abdominal procedures under general anaesthesia, but there is limited published data on procedures done under peripheral nerve or plexus blocks. We herein report the case of a patient with recent pulmonary embolism and supraventricular tachycardia who required colostomy refashioning. Ultrasonography-guided regional anaesthesia was administered using a combination of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric, rectus sheath and transversus abdominis plane blocks. This was supplemented with propofol and dexmedetomidine sedation as well as intermittent fentanyl and ketamine boluses to cover for visceral stimulation. We discuss the anatomical rationale for the choice of blocks and compare the anaesthetic conduct with similar cases that were previously reported.
