Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of using the mirror technique, which involves overlapping the distance between the center of rotation of the femoral head and the posteromedial edge of the greater trochanter, combined with the injured side and the posterior edge of the contralateral femoral medial and lateral condyles, to correct rotational displacement of the femur during closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation for multi-level comminuted femoral shaft fractures.Methods:This study included 52 adult patients with unilateral comminuted femoral shaft fractures treated with closed reduction and antegrade interlocking intramedullary nail fixation at the Trauma Center of Liuzhou Workers' Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. The cohort consisted of 37 males and 15 females, with an average age of 44.4±3.5 years (range 19-68 years). During the operation, C-arm fluoroscopy was used to confirm the standard lateral position of the knee joint, identified by overlapping the posterior edges of the medial and lateral femoral condyles. With this position maintained, X-ray fluoroscopy was performed on the hip joint in the anteroposterior view to identify the rotation center of the femoral head (point O) and the intersection point of the arc projection between the posteromedial edge of the greater trochanter and the upper edge of the femoral neck (point Y). The distance from point O to point Y (OY) was measured and recorded. The rotational deformity of the femoral shaft fracture was corrected by internally or externally rotating the main screw sight frame to match the OY distance between the injured and healthy sides. Postoperative CT was used to measure bilateral femoral neck anteversion (FNA), and the difference in FNA between the two sides was compared to verify the accuracy of rotation control. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on fracture healing rate, lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) score, Harris score, Lysholm knee score, hip and knee joint range of motion, and complications.Results:The postoperative FNA was 14.45°±3.23° on the healthy side and 14.21°±3.28° on the injured side. The mean FNA difference between the two sides was 0.79°±0.58° (range 0°-2.5°). In 3 cases, the difference exceeded 2°, with a maximum difference of 2.5°. In 10 cases, the difference ranged from 1° to 2°, and in 39 cases, the difference was ≤1°, including 2 cases with no difference. There was no significant difference in postoperative FNA between the two sides ( t=1.063, P=0.168). At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in LEFS score, Harris score, or Lysholm score between the injured and healthy sides ( P>0.05). The range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint at the last follow-up was 117.0°±2.2° in flexion, 24.3°±3.2° in extension, 33.4°±3.1° in abduction, 20.8°±2.7° in adduction, 19.4°±3.5° in internal rotation, and 38.2°±1.5° in external rotation. The ROM of the healthy side was 122.0°±2.4° in flexion, 25.4°±2.8° in extension, 35.6°±2.0° in abduction, 23.4°±1.6° in adduction, 21.0°±2.2° in internal rotation, and 38.4°±1.8° in external rotation, with no significant differences ( P>0.05). The knee flexion ROM was 135.0°±2.8° on the injured side and 138.4°±1.2° on the healthy side, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time was 10.6±2.3 months (range 6-13 months). One patient developed fat embolism syndrome on the third postoperative day and recovered after 2 weeks of hormone therapy and respiratory support. No other complications, such as vascular or nerve injury, infection, deep vein thrombosis, or joint dysfunction, were observed in the remaining 51 patients. Conclusion:The method of using the vertical projection distance between the center of rotation of the femoral head and the posteromedial edge of the greater trochanter, combined with the overlap of the injured side and the posterior edge of the medial and lateral femoral condyles, is a new quantitative approach. This technique accurately determines and corrects the rotational displacement of femoral fractures, offering an effective and quick intraoperative correction method.

Objective:To investigate the classification of main pancreatic duct and treatment strategy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The records of 51 consecutive patients with LPD who were treated by linear staple closure technique of pancreatic neck from February to December 2022 from Binzhou Second People′s Hospital, Shijingshan Campus, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Rizhao Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic-Splenic Surgery Research Institute, Chaoyang Central Hospital, Shandong Juxian People′s Hospital, Weihai Municipal Hospital, Binzhou Central Hospital, and Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University were retrospectively reviewed. According to the visibility, position and diameter of the main pancreatic duct at the stump of the pancreas, the type of main pancreatic duct was divided into type I, type Ⅱ, type Ⅲa and type Ⅲb. The number of cases in each main pancreatic duct classification and the corresponding treatment strategies were examined.Results:A total of 51 cases of LPD were successfully completed. Of these patients, the males comprised 56.9%(29/51), and females comprised 43.1%(22/51), with age ranging from 31 to 88 years old. The type of the main pancreatic duct at the stump of the pancreas included 7 cases (13.7%) of type Ⅰ, 39 cases (76.5%) of type Ⅱ, 2 cases (3.9%) of type Ⅲa, and 3 cases (5.9%) of type Ⅲb. Corresponding treatment strategies were adopted according to different main pancreatic duct types, the main pancreatic duct was successfully found, and a support drainage tube was inserted.Conclusion:After linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck, corresponding treatment strategies should be adopted according to the classification of the main pancreatic duct, which would help to improve the success rate of finding the main pancreatic duct and placing a support drainage tube.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic experience of early postoperative hemorrhage (EPOH) from pancreaticojejunal anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:A retrospective review was conducted to summarize the clinical data of a typical case of EPOH from pancreaticojejunal anastomosis after PD in Binzhou Second People′s Hospital, and the main causes and treatment of EPOH were analyzed.Results:Due to reasons such as the slender pancreatic duct, the pancreatic duct was not found after twice transections of the pancreas during the surgery. To prevent poor pancreatic fluid drainage and related complications, the pancreatic stump was not effectively sutured, and a vertical mattress suture method was used for the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. The patient developed severe EPOH on the surgery day. Due to the fact that the digestive tract reconstruction was a biliary pancreatic separation method, the cause of EPOH was diagnosed from pancreaticojejunal anastomosis through imaging and endoscopy. After active medical treatment, the patient recovered and was discharged.Conclusion:For the treatment of pancreatic stump after PD, precise suturing should be performed on the stump while ensuring smooth pancreatic duct drainage, in order to avoid EPOH from pancreaticojejunal anastomosis to the greatest extent possible.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic evaluation process and the effectiveness and safety of intracavitary therapy for pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients admitted to Beijing Shijitan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from March 2019 to February 2022. Combined with the patient′s symptoms, PCS was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography venography (CTV), and venography. The ovarian vein was embolized with controllable spring coil and polydocanol foam sclerosing agent. The patients were followed up 1, 3 and 6 months after operation.Results:The total surgical success rate of 38 patients was 100%, and the incidence of complications was 5.3%(2/38); Spring coils (2.8±0.3)per person; The dosage of hardener was (7.0±2.1)ml/person. The improvement rate of patient symptoms was 97.4%(37/38); After 1, 3, and 6 months of surgery, color Doppler ultrasound was reexamined and no recanalization was observed in the embolized ovarian veins; The diameter of the parauterine vein was (2.8±0.5)mm, which was significantly lower than the preoperative (7.5±1.9)mm ( P<0.05); The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was significantly lower than the preoperative score [(2.12±1.87)points vs (7.58±0.82)points, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Process based assessment is helpful in identifying and diagnosing PCS patients who urgently need treatment; Endovascular treatment based on embolization of ovarian vein with controllable spring coil and foam sclerosing agent is minimally invasive, safe and effective.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of lower extremity three dimensional CT venography (CTV) and lower extremity ascending phlebography in evaluating recurrent varicose veins.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 235 patients with unilateral recurrent varicose veins who were treated at the Department of Vascular Surgery,Beijing Shijitan Hospital,Capital Medical University, between January 2015 and December 2020.There were 112 males and 123 females, with an age of (62.5±11.4)years (range:24 to 75 years).Patients were stratified into two groups based on preoperative imaging examination:the CTV group (utilizing lower extremity venous ultrasound+lower extremity CTV) and the control group (employing lower extremity venous ultrasound+lower extremity ascending phlebography).The two groups were matched in a 1∶1 ratio using propensity score matching, resulting in 43 cases per group.Comparative analyses between the groups at the one-year postoperative follow-up were performed using independent sample t tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, χ2 tests, and linear regression analysis. Results:One year post-surgery,the CTV group exhibited a lower venous clinical severity score (VCSS) compared to the control group( M(IQR),3.0(4.3) vs.4.0(5.8), Z=-2.038, P=0.040).Additionally, the chronic venous insufficiency patients′ quality of life questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) scores were significantly higher in the CTV group than in the control group (89.0(8.0) vs.82.5(17.0), Z=-2.627, P=0.010).Patients in the CTV group also experienced a shorter ulcer healing time compared to the control group (4.0(4.0) weeks vs.12.0(7.0) weeks, Z=-3.217, P<0.01).Both groups showed no clinically symptomatic recurrent varicose veins or ulcers.However, they exhibited ultrasound-detectable varicose vein recurrence, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.453, P=0.500).The number of diseased vessels requiring management based on ultrasound supplemented by CTV was 16, while the number supplemented by ascending phlebography was 7,with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.800, P=0.030).Linear regression analysis demonstrated that clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathology clinical grading and the preoperative imaging examination method exerted independent influences on VCSS and CIVIQ-20 during the one-year postoperative assessment. Conclusions:CTV-assisted ultrasound enables a direct and comprehensive evaluation and localization of diseased veins in patients with recurrent varicose veins.The utilization of lower extremity vein ultrasound combined with CTV-guided management of lower extremity vessels in minimally invasive treatment significantly improves patient prognosis, surpassing the assessment provided by ascending phlebography.

Objective:To study the use of primary continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The clinical data of 21 patients who were treated with primary continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck in PD at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated, West Campus, Capital Medical University, Rizhao Hepatobiliary-pancreatic-splenic Surgery Research Institute, Binzhou Second People’s Hospital, Chaoyang Central Hospital from February 2022 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 9 females, with ages ranging from 31.0 to 82.0 years (median age 63.0 years). The success rates of linear stapling at pancreatic neck, time of pancreaticojejunostomy, postoperative complications, pancreatic fistula risk score, and length of hospital stay were studied.Results:Among the 21 patients, there were 3 patients who underwent open PD and 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic PD. Primary continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck was successfully carried out in all these patients. The success rate was 100.0%. The success rate of finding pancreatic ducts at the pancreatic stumps and inserting an drainage tube was 100.0%(21/21). In the 3 patients who underwent open PD, the operation time were 230.0, 245.0 and 250.0 minutes respectively. The time for completing pancreaticojejunostomy were 12.0, 13.0 and 12.0 minutes respectively. The estimated blood loss were 300.0, 450.0 and 600.0 ml respectively. The length of hospital stay were 14.0, 15.0 and 21.0 days. In the 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic PD, the operation time was (295.9±14.5) min, the time for constructing pancreaticojejunostomy was (22.3±1.5) min, the blood loss was (180.0±40.0) ml, the length of hospital stay ranging from 8.0 to 16.0 days (median 10.5 days). Among all the 21 patients, the pancreatic fistula risk score was (4.7±1.5). Postoperative acute pancreatitis occurred in 3 patients (14.3%), delayed gastric emptying occurred in 4 patients (19.0%), and all of them recovered after conservative treatment. There was no postoperative bleeding, nosocomial infection, grade B and C postoperative pancreatic fistula or perioperative death.Conclusion:The continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of the pancreatic neck was safe, reliable, simple and technically easy. It has the potential to prevent clinical postoperative pancreatic fistula and pancreaticojejunostomy bleeding. It is worth to popularize this surgical procedure.

Objective:To investigate the early clinical effects of orthopedic surgery robot-assisted double Endobutton titanium plate internal fixation in the treatment of fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocation.Methods:Thirty-nine patients with fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocation were included from January 2020 to January 2022. A total of 19 patients were treated with double Endobutton suspension internal fixation assisted by the domestic third-generation orthopaedic surgical robot (TiRobot ? 2.0) Dimensity system. There were Rockwood type III in 11 cases, type IV in 8 cases. Twenty cases were treated with conventional incision double Endobutton internal fixation, with Rockwood type III in 13 cases, type V in 7 cases. The operation duration, blood loss volume, incision length and hospitalization time were compared between the two groups. The following CT parameters of acromioclavicular joint at 2 days and 1 year after operation, distance between distal inferior cortex of clavicle and subacromial cortex, distance between upper and lower endobuttons, horizontal distance between anterior edge of distal clavicle and anterior edge of acromion and diameter of coracoid process and diameter of clavicular tunnel were measured. The visual analogue score (VAS), Constant-Murley shoulder function score and shoulder abduction activity were also evaluated before and at 12 months after operation. Results:The follow-up duration was 10.8±2.4 months in the robot group and 11.5±3.1 months in the routine group. The VAS score of the robot group decreased from 5.3±2.1 to 0.3±0.2 at 12 months after operation ( t=10.46, P=0.014). The Constant-Murley score increased from 55.6±6.4 to 92.0±4.2. The range of shoulder abduction increased from 42.2°±5.4° to 172.6°±6.1° ( t=17.24, P<0.001). The operation duation of the robot group was 74.4±6.6 min, which was longer than that of the conventional group 61.7±7.2 min ( t=5.43, P=0.037). There was no significant difference in VAS score, Constant-Murley score, shoulder abduction activity or CT measurement between the two groups ( P>0.05). During the follow-up, two cases in the robot group had cortical osteolysis on the supraclavicular surface, one case in the conventional group had loss of reduction, one case in the supraclavicular cortical osteolysis, and 4 cases in the cortical defect on the side of the coracoid process tunnel. Conclusion:Orthopedic robot-assisted and conventional incision with double Endobutton titanium plate internal fixation in treating fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocation can achieve satisfied early clinical effects. Accurate establishment of clavicle and coracoid bone tunnel assisted by robot can overcome the defects of bone tunnel deviation in conventional incision operation and can prevent reduction and bone loss. However, robot-assisted and conventional incision Endobutton internal fixation could enlarge bone tunnel.

Objective:To explore the perivenous blocking management strategy for portal vein-superior mesenteric vein (PSMV) resection and reconstruction and its effect on postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The data of 137 patients with pancreatic cancer treated with PD in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Chaoyang Central Hospital, the Second Hospital of Chaoyang, Rizhao Central Hospital, the Second People's Hospital of Binzhou from January 2010 to December 2020 were collected. There were 83 males and 54 females with an average age of 61.8 years. There were 42 patients in the reconstruction group and 95 patients in the control group. The main intraoperative indexes and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups with the aim to review our experience in PSMV resection and reconstruction by using the perivenous blocking management strategy.Results:PD was successfully completed in 137 patients in the reconstruction group, the PSMV blocking time was 15-120 min, with a median of 30 min. The operation time 380 (330, 465) min, intraoperative blood loss 725 (500, 1000) ml, and postoperative hospital stay 21.0 (16.0, 28.0) d in the reconstruction group were significantly higher than those of control group [305 (280, 340) min, 400 (300, 500) ml and 18.0 (14.0, 24.5) d] (all P<0.05). The reoperation rate and perioperative mortality were 4.8% (2/42) and 2.4% (1/42) in the reconstruction group, while 2.1% (2/95) and 1.0% (1/95) in the control group, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (both P>0.05). The incidence of pancreatic fistula, peritoneal effusion and infection, pulmonary infection of the reconstruction group was significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bleeding, delayed gastric emptying, biliary fistula, incision infection, reoperation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:PSMV resection and reconstruction significantly increased the incidences of complication after PD, including pancreatic fistula, peritoneal effusion/infection and pulmonary infection. The perivenous blocking management strategy significantly promoted smooth postoperative recovery and effectively reduced morbidity rates of postoperative bleeding and mortality after PSMV resection and reconstruction in PD.
