Methods 16 patients with inguinal hernia were treated with TEP.There were 14 indirect inguinal hernia and 2 direct inguinal hernia.All patients were treated by laperoscopic herhisplasty through extraperitoneal route. Results All cases were operated on successfully.Operation time was 65.5(40～120)min.The average postoperative hospital stay was 3.7(3～7)days.No complication occurred.There was no recurrence. Conclusionss TEP is a satisfactory technique with a low recurrence rate and a low major complication rate.

Objective To investigate the effects and advantages of laparoscopic hernioplasty for hernia.Methods From June 1995 to June 2005,222 patients with hernia were treated with laparoscopy.Transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair(TAPP) were performed in 166 patients.Totally extraperitoneal hernia repair(TEP) were performed in 25 patients.Closure of the internal orifice of hernia was performed in 21 patients.Furthermore,incisional hernia in 2 patients, diaphragmatic hernia in 1 patient and mesenteric hernia in 1 patient were performed by laparoscopic hernioplasty and 6 patients with hernia of oesophagus finestra performed hernioplasty combined collapse gastric fundus with laparoscopy.In this series 45 patients associated with other abdominal disease were simultaneously treated with laparoscopy.Results All cases were operated successfully.The span of operation reduration was 42.5 min((10～180 min)).The average length of postoperative hospital stay were 4.6 days.There was one early failure owing to the use of too small a piece of mesh.Conclusion The results indicate that mesh repair of hernias is a satisfactory technique with a low recurrence rate and a low major complication rate.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and clinical value of balloon-assisted clipping for the treatment of giant unruptured intracranial aneurysms of internal carotid artery. Methods Patients with giant unruptured intracranial aneurysm of intracranial segment of internal carotid artery treated with balloon-assisted clipping in the Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from September 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled retrospectively. The proximal internal carotid artery or the aneurysm neck were temporarily blocked by balloon, and then the aneurysm was clipped in the hybrid operating room. Demographic data, preoperative symptoms, aneurysm characteristics, position of balloon placement, intraoperative angiography, complications, and follow-up results were collected. Results A total of 12 patients with giant (diameter >2 cm) unruptured intracranial aneurysm of intracranial segment of internal carotid artery were enrolled. They were all successfully clipped using balloon-assisted clipping in the hybrid operating room. Among them, 1 was located in the ophthalmic segment, 3 in the supraclinoid segment, 4 in the posterior communicating segment, 2 in the anterior choroidal artery segment, and 2 in the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery. The balloons were placed in the proximal end of internal carotid artery in 9 cases and in the neck of aneurysm in 3 cases. Intraoperative angiography showed that 12 aneurysms were completely occluded; 1 had severe stenosis of parent artery, and 1 had mild stenosis. Postoperative complications included cerebral infarction in 1 case, temporary diabetes insipidus in 1 case (returned to normal 1 week after operation), hemiplegia in 1 case, and epilepsy in 1 case. Glasgow Outcome Scale score at discharge showed 5 in 9 cases, 4 in 2 cases, and 3 in 1 case. The patients were followed up for 2.3 to 12 months after operation (median 7.5 months). Reexamination of CT angiography showed no recurrence of aneurysm. Glasgow Outcome Scale score was 5 in 11 cases and 4 in 1 case. Conclusions The use of balloon-assisted clipping technique in the hybrid operating room for the treatment of giant intracranial segmental aneurysms of the internal carotid artery is safe and effective, and has a good long-term outcome.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and influencing factors of the outcomes of early microsurgical treatment in patients with intracerebral hematoma from ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Methods From 2010 to 2016, patients with intracerebral hematoma from ruptured intracranial aneurysm admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Xinyu People's Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The demographic data, Hunt-Hess grade,Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score,imaging data,and procedure-related complications were collected. Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score was used to evaluate the outcomes. Four to 5 were defined as good outcome and 1 to 3 were defined as poor outcome. The Hunt-Hess gradesⅡ-Ⅲ were used as the low-grade group and the Ⅳ-Ⅴ grades were used as the high-grade group. The survival rate and quality of life of both groups of patients were compared according to the GOS scores. Results A total of 36 patients were enrolled during the study, including 32 with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hematoma and 4 with simple intracerebral hematoma. Hunt-Hess grade was grade Ⅱ in 2 cases, Ⅲ in 18 cases, Ⅳ in 14 cases, and Ⅴ in 2 cases. Distribution of responsible aneurysms:18 patients in middle cerebral artery, 9 in anterior communicating artery, 6 in anterior cerebral artery, 3 in posterior communicating artery, including 4 patients with multiple aneurysms. All patients underwent aneurysm clipping+hematoma removal under the general anesthesia within 36 h after onset,24 of them were treated with decompressive craniectomy. One patient died of severe brain swelling after intraoperative reruptureof the aneurysm,1 died of postoperative massive cerebral infarction, and 1 died of severe pulmonary infection and diabetes after giving up further treatment. Thirty-three survivors were followed up for 1 year, 29 had good outcome(80.5％) and 7 had poor outcome (19.5％). There were significant differences in survival rate and quality of life between the low-grade group and the high-grade group (P=0.001). There were significant differences in the Hunt-Hess grade, baseline GCS score, and proportion of patients receiving decompressive craniectomy between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group.Conclusion The Hunt-Hess grade, baseline GCS score, and decompressive craniectomy were the influencing factors of the outcomes in patients with intracerebral hematoma from ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Removal of hematoma and aneurysm clipping should be performed as early as possible,and decompressive craniectomy should be performed if necessary.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of treat severe brain trauma combine hernia with standard hemi-craniectomy and canopy incision surgery. Methods Selected 76 cases of severe brain trauma combine hernia patients as research subjects, which were randomly divided into study group and control group, 38 cases in each group, the con-trol group received standard hemicraniectomy treatment,study group received standard hemicraniectomy and atrium in-cision treatment. The clinical effects were compared for the two groups. Results The rates of severe disability or long-term coma, mortality in the study group were lower than the control group, the differences was statistically significant(P<0.05). The scores of GCS of the study group were better than the control group after operation for 4 weeks and 6 months (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with severe brain trauma associated with hernia use standard hemicraniectomy and canopy incision treatment can effectively improve the patient's brainstem around the pool,and help to improve the survival rate of patients who received treatment.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy performed using conventional laparoscopic instruments.

METHODSThirty-two patients undergoing three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments (group A) with 3 ports around the umbilicus were compared with 96 patients (group B) receiving the conventional 4-port routine endoscopic cholecystectomy.

RESULTSAll the procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open laparotomy. In group A, the procedures were completed smoothly in 30 cases while 2 cases required another port (5 mm) punctured below the xyphoid due to severe adhesion around the cyst. The median operating time was 39.7∓5.2 min in group A, significantly longer than that in group B (25.3∓3.3 min, P<0.001), but the patients in group A obtained better cosmetic results (P<0.001); the median blood loss, recovery time of postoperative intestine function, length of postoperative hospital stay, and the rate of use of postoperative painkillers were comparable between the two groups. Bile leakage or other postoperative complications occurred in none of cases in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONIn cases without severe adhesion around the cyst, three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments is a safe and feasible alternative to routine endoscopic cholecystectomy with better cosmetic results.
