Objective To investigate the feasibility a nd the clinical significance of modified laparoscopic transabdomimal preperitoneal (TAPP) mesh and suture inguinal herniorrhaphy. Methods Clinic al records of 13 patients with inguinal hernia treated by laparoscopic TAPP mesh plug combined with suture fixation from June 2002 to October 2004 in this hospi tal were retrospectively reviewed. Out of the 13 patients, there were 9 patients with indirect inguinal hernia and 4 patients with direct hernia, including 1 re current patient. The hernia was right-sided in 8 patients, left-sided in 4, and bilateral in 1. Results All the operations were completed succ essfully. The unilateral operation time was 35~85 min (mean, 50 min). No convers ions to open surgery were required and no postoperative complications were noted . The mean duration of postoperative hospital stay was 2 days. Follow-up observa tions for 1~28 months (mean, 12 months) in the 13 patients found no recurrence. Conclusions Laparoscopic TAPP mesh plug combined with suture fixation, characterized by advantages of simplicity of performance, minimal inva sion, little postoperative pain, and quick recovery, is a safe, reliable and eff ective alternative of inguinal herniorrhaphy. This technique can replace the ope n surgery and is recommended for wide application.

Objective To summarize the experience of operation on gastric carcinoma combined with severe pulmonary dysfunction and reduce the incidence of postoperative fatality and complications.Methods According to FVC,MVV,FEV1 from high to low grouping,and interfere with ambroxol hydrochloride,doxofylline,budesonide,terbutaline,ipratropium bromide,tiotropium bromide to 20 patients who suffered gastric carcinoma combined with severe pulmonary dysfunction before and after operation,and interfere with different anesthesia methods.Results Postoperative complications occurred in 20 patients within one month,Hydrothorax in 2 cases,pulmonary infection in 2 cases,respiratory failure in 2 cases,acute pulmonary edema in 1 cases,acute pulmonary embolism in 1 case.After active treatment,19 patients cured,1 case died due to acute pulmonary edema.Conclusion The complications rate and risks are high in the gastric carcinoma patients combined with severe pulmonary dysfunction,and strict preoperative and postoperative managements are key to the operation.
