Objective:To explore the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic resection of abdominal and retroperitoneal cystic masses in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 11 cases of abdominal and retroperitoneal cystic masses in Department of Pediatric Surgery, Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from June 2015 to January 2019 was performed, and all the patients underwent laparoscopic resection or laparoscopic-assisted resection, with 6 cases of boys and 5 cases of girls, aged 8 months to 10 years (with the average of 59 months). Meanwhile, 9 cases were from the abdominal cavity and 2 cases were from the retroperitoneum.Results:All patients underwent laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted resection without switching to laparotomy.The operation time was 60-210 minutes, with the average of 120 minutes.The intraoperative blood loss was 5-30 mL, with the average of 10 mL.There was no blood transfusion.All patients were discharged 3-8 days after surgery, with the average of 5 days.The postoperative pathological results included 5 cases of mature teratoma, 1 case of paraneoplastic cyst, 2 cases of intestinal duplication, 2 cases of lymphangioma, and 1 case of hepatic cyst.Totally, 11 cases were followed up for 7-51 months, with the average of 20.9 months.No recurrence occurred.Conclusions:Laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted resection of abdominal and retroperitoneal cystic masses has advantages of minimal invasion, rapid recovery in children, and it is safe and effective.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and experience of laparoscopic repair of hiatus hernia with absorbable biological mesh reinforcement in infants and children.Methods:The clinical data of patients with hiatal hernia undergoing laparoscopic surgery with biological mesh and Nissen fundoplication in the First Hospital of Quanzhou from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients had undergone upper gastrointestinal contrast radiography and were diagnosed as hiatal hernia before operation.The clinical types were Ⅰ( n=9), Ⅱ( n=7), Ⅲ( n=1). Results:All patients underwent laparoscopic procedure without switching to laparotomy.The operation time was 100-180min, with an average of 120 min.The mean blood loss was 5-10mL.All patients were fed 1 to 2 days postoperatively and were discharged 5 to 10 days after surgery, with an average of 8 days.All patients were followed up for 6 to 53 months with an average of 30 months.They gained good development and growth.There was no recurrence.One case had dysphagia (esophageal stricture), and improved after esophageal dilation.Conclusion:Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with absorbable biological mesh reinforcement has low recurrence rate, fewer complications, and definite curative effect.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of neonatal testicular torsion and to evaluate the effect and necessity of early intervention.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 11 neonates admitted to the Second Hospital of Shandong University with neonatal testicular torsion from June 2017 to June 2022. Clinical data of these cases including clinical manifestations, ultrasonography findings, surgical management and outcomes were reviewed and analyzed with descriptive statistical methods.Results:The median age of the 11 patients on admission was 2.6 d (1-5 d). The median time from finding abnormal scrotum to admission was 12 h (1-120 h). Various degrees of scrotal swelling or scleroma were found in the patients. Among them, seven patients presented with acute inflammatory signs of cyano sis or skin redness, and testis-like tissue induration could be touched. Ultrasound scan showed abnormal blood flow in the affected testicle in all cases. Emergency scrotal exploration under general anesthesia was performed successfully in all cases and ten of them underwent orchiectomy of the affected testicle plus contralateral orchiopexy. The rest one who was admitted within 1 h after birth only underwent orchiopexy of the affected testicle as the parents refused contralateral testicular exploration. During the operation, 12 twisted testis were observed, including seven with extravaginal torsion, three with intravaginal torsion and two adhering to the surrounding tissue without normal testicular tissue or distinguishable torsion direction or degree. In this study, ten patients had unilateral testicular torsion, which affected the left side in seven cases and the right side in three cases, and one had bilateral testicular torsion, which was diagnosed as left testicle torsion before surgery. During scrotal exploration, the left testicle of this bilateral case was resected due to necrosis, while the right testicle twisted about 180 degrees with good blood flow and was subjected to orchidopexy after reduction. In one case, the unaffected testicle was unfixed and dysplastic during contralateral exploration, which was also subjected to orchidopexy. In the 12 testis with torsion, one testicle of the patient admitted within 1 h after birth and the right testicle of the bilateral case were preserved with a salvage rate of 2/12. Pathological examination showed necrosis in the ten excised testis, and fibrosis and calcification foci in two of them. None of the patients had any perioperative complications and the scrotal incision healed well in all neonates. The patients were followed up for 6-12 months with regular ultrasound. The two preserved testis and the contralateral testis subjected to orchidopexy were located in the scrotum with good blood supply, and no torsion, atrophy or other abnormalities occurred.Conclusions:Neonatal testicular torsion is rarely seen in clinical practice and has no specific manifestations. It has a high excision rate due to testicular necrosis. Early diagnosis and bilateral scrotal exploration are crucial to the prognosis and the keys to save the affected testis and avoid anorchidism.

Objective: To explore the difference of personality characteristics of physicians, nurses, medical skills and administrative personnel in a general hospital and its influence on job burnout. Methods: Employee entered the hospital before 2018 were enrolled in the current study and the position was classified as physicians, nurses, medical technician and administrative staff. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was completed by the employee at the time of entering the hospital. Status of job burnout was assessed in 2018 using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) . Results: Physicians have a higher rate of paranoia than others (P<0.05) , and administrative staff and medical technician have a slightly higher score than the other two categories of people (P<0.05) , and administrators lie at a higher rate than others (P<0.05) . Further analysis found that personality traits did not have a significant association with job burnout at the time of entry. Conclusion The administrative and medical staff is slightly more irritable, the administrative staff lying slightly higher score, the staff after the entry of job burnout is not affected by the personality characteristics of the onboarding.
