Objective To study the diagnosis and radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical feature and the effect of radical resection on 38 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinomas.Results Diagnosis was made in all of the patients preoperatively.The radical resection was perfomed on 38 patients.Of them, 3(7.9%) died after operation.After operation, 5 cases (13.2%) developed bile leakage,and 2 of the 5 cases developed subphrenic abscess,which were cured by drainage; 4(10.5%) had right hydrothorax that was cured by conservative therapy; and 3(7.9%)had incision split that was cured by resuture. Among the 35 postoperative survivors,34 (97.1%) were followed up, the 1- and 3-year survival rates were 91.9% and 35.2%.None of the patients survived for 5 years. Conclusions It′s still difficult to make early diagnosis in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.The diagnosis mainly depends on the combination of imaging examinations. Nowadays the radical resection rate of hilar cholangiocarunoma is still low, the recurrence and metastasis are common after operation, and few patients can survive for a long time. It suggests that even in radical operation for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the regions of resection and sweep are not enough,and the operative procedure needs to improve further.

Objective To explore the MR imaging of reverse and separation of meniscal articular capsule.Methods MR imaging of reverse and separation of meniscus articular capsule confirmed by surgery and arthroscope were analyzed retrospectively in 8 cases.Results The “Butterfly knot sign” disappeared and was replaced with fluid signal on the sagittal slice of meniscal body in 8 cases. Part of back angle remained in 3 cases. “Double anterior cruciate ligament sign” was showed on one side of middle sagittal slice in 7 cases. “Reverse meniscus sign” was revealed in intercondylar fossa on the coronary view in ~8 cases. Abnormal high signal was showed in the injured meniscus in 6 cases. Abnormal high signal was detected in the opposite meniscus in 5 cases.Conclusion The MR findings of reverse and separation of meniscus articular capsule include disappearance of “butterfly knot sign”, appearance of “reverse meniscus sign” and “double anterior cruciate ligament sign”. The diagnosis would be established if the former 2 signs were present or all the 3 signs were present simultaneously.

Objective To report the clinical outcomes of applying endoscopic incision in the treatment of ureterovesical anastomosis site obstruction in transplanted kidneys. Methods Between February 2001 and April 2008, 13 men and 5 women with ureterovesical anastomotic site obstruction in their transplanted kidneys were treated by endoscopic incision with electrocautery or holmium: YAG laser. After the anastomosis was completely resected, two Double-J stents were placed in the ureter for 6-8 weeks. During follow-up, renal function, ultrasound examination and wash-out renal scintig-raphy were performed every month for the first 6 months, then every 3 months. Results Total 25 procedures of endoureterotomy were performed and all procedures resulted in successful incision of the obstruction. No complication was recorded during or after the procedure. At the mean follow-up of 51 months (range 4-90 months), 5 patients presented with recurred obstructive uropathy immediately after the Double-J stent removal and finally underwent open surgical correction. Conclusions Endo-scopic incision is safe and effective in the treatment of ureterovesical anastomosis site obstruction in transplanted kidney. However, open surgical reconstruction should be considered if endoscopic inci-sion procedure has failed.
