Objective:To evaluate the mid-term efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy combined with single anastomosis gastric-ileal bypass (SASI) for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).Methods:Clinical data of 10 patients with post-LSG GERD undergoing SASI at the Department of Hernia and Bariatric Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between Jan 2022 and Oct 2024 was retrospectively analyzed. Surgical safety and mid-term outcomes were evaluated.Results:The mean follow-up period was (25.40±17.33) months. The GerdQ score significantly decreased from (14.00±2.05) preoperatively to (5.70±1.49) postoperatively ( t=10.330, P<0.001), with a GERD remission rate of 90 % (9/10). Postoperative body weight and body mass index (BMI) both showed statistically significant reductions compared to preoperative values. Weight dropped from (110.29±22.92) kg to (84.95±15.89) kg ( t=5.889, P<0.001), and BMI decreased from (38.98±7.16) kg/m2 to (30.02±4.88) kg/m2 ( t=6.086, P<0.001). The percentage of excess weight loss was 65.88%±32.85%, and the percentage of total weight loss was 22.43%±9.65%. Only one patient experienced transient postoperative diarrhea, which resolved spontaneously, and no severe malnutrition cases were observed. Conclusion:SASI effectively improves GERD symptoms after LSG with favorable safety, serving as a suitable revisional surgical option for those patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of extended abdominal wall resec-tion combined with reconstruction for abdominal wall aggressive fibromatosis (AF).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 70 patients with abdominal wall AF who were admitted to 3 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, between January 2009 and July 2024 were collected. There were 6 males and 64 females, aged (36±13)years. All patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. Comparisons of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1)Surgical situations. All 70 patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall recons-truction. The operation time was 90(91)minutes and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10(6)days. Of the 70 patients, 41 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus polypropylene mesh abdominal wall reconstruction, with a defect area of 60(54)cm2. The mesh placement method was uniformly Sublay repair. The remaining 29 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus direct suture repair, with a defect area of 34(31)cm2. There was a significant difference in the abdominal wall defect area between the two groups ( U=291.00, P<0.05). All 70 patients achieved R 0 resection. The distance from surgical margin to tumor edge was 2-3 cm in 39 cases and >3 cm in 31 cases. (2) Tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. All 70 patients were followed up for 78(90)months. During follow-up, 10 patients developed tumor recurrence (5 cases with mesh reinforced abdominal wall reconstruction and 5 cases with direct suture repair). Among them, one case was monitored, one case underwent radiotherapy, and neither received further surgical treatment. The remaining 8 patients underwent repeat R 0 resection, and no further recurrence occurred. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the patients with mesh reconstruction and patients with direct suture repair ( χ2=0.06, P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence rate was 9.7%(3/31) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge >3 cm, versus 17.9%(7/39) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge of 2-3 cm, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.97, P>0.05). Sixty patients had no tumor recurrence. During follow-up, none of the 70 patients developed incisional hernia. Two patients experienced postoperative wound infection, and 6 cases developed postoperative chronic pain. Conclusion:Extended abdominal wall resection combined with reconstruction is safe and feasible for abdominal wall AF.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficiency of lumbar hernia repair based on path planning.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 35 patients with lumbar hernia who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from November 2016 to March 2024 were collected. There were 14 males and 21 females, aged (61±8)years. According to preoperative computerized tomography examination of the hernia defect diameter, patients with a defect diameter <4 cm underwent enhan-ced field laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (eTEP), patients with a defect diameter of 4-8 cm underwent laparoscopic partial extraperitoneal repair (TAPE), and patients with a defect diameter >8 cm underwent open preperitoneal mesh repair (Sublay). Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison of three groups were conducted using the one-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis test, and Bonferroni correction was used for pariwise comparison. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were descri-bed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results:(1) Operation conditions. Of 35 patients, there were 15 cases undergoing eTEP, of 7 males and 8 females and 12 cases of left hernia and 3 cases of right hernia, with operation time of (92±44)minutes and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of (5.6±2.8)days. There were 17 cases undergoing TAPE, of 5 males and 12 females and 9 cases of left hernia, 7 cases of right hernia and 1 case of bilateral hernia, with operation time of (114±56)minutes and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of (6.4±3.0) days. There were 3 cases undergoing Sublay, of 2 males and 1 female and 1 case of left hernia and 2 cases of right hernia, with operation time of (150±55)minutes and the duration of postoperative hospital stay of (12.3±7.8)days. There were significant differences in the duration of postoperative hospital stay among the three groups ( F=4.83, P<0.05). (2) Follow-up. All 35 patients were followed up for 40.5(range, 3.0-91.0)days. None of patient underwent postoperative complications such as serous swelling, incision infection, intestinal fistula, intestinal obstruction, or puncture hematoma, and no recurrence of lumbar hernia occurred. One patient who underwent TAPE had postoperative abdominal distension, and was cured by symptomatic treatment. Cases with acute pain within postoperative 3 months were 0, 5, 2 in patients undergoing eTEP, TAPE, Sublay, respectively, showing significant differences among them ( χ2=8.69, P<0.05). Results of pariwise comparison showed that there was a significant difference in acute pain within postoperative 3 months between patients undergoing eTEP and Sublay ( P<0.05), and there was a significant difference in acute pain within postoperative 3 months between patients undergoing eTEP and TAPE ( P<0.05); Cases with chronic pain after postoperative 3 months were 0, 1, 1 in patients undergoing eTEP, TAPE, Sublay, respectively, showing no significant difference among them ( χ2=4.00, P>0.05). Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to formulate the surgical method according to the defect diameter of lumbar hernia.

Background and Aims:Parastomal hernia is a common complication after colostomy,with a high incidence rate.Laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair is currently the mainstream surgical approach for treating parastomal hernia.However,compared to other abdominal wall hernia repair techniques,the recurrence rate of parastomal hernia after laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair remains relatively high.Furthermore,the recurrence rate after surgery for recurrent parastomal hernias is significantly higher than that after the initial surgery,with inadequate lateral mesh coverage being one of the major contributing factors.This study was performed to analyze the efficacy of two-point mark-guided laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair in patients with terminal colostomy parastomal hernia,so as to provide evidence-based references for clinical practice. Methods:The clinical data of 120 patients with terminal colostomy parastomal hernia,who underwent laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair guided by the two-point mark of mesh at the Department of Hernia and Obesity Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China,from January 2015 to December 2023,were retrospectively collected.The parastomal hernias were classified according to the European Hernia Society classification.Postoperative symptomatic and radiological recurrence rates were analyzed,as well as the incidence of complications such as bowel obstruction,stoma infection,and intestinal fistula in recurrent and non-recurrent patients. Results:Of the 120 patients,2(1.7％)were lost to follow-up.The mean follow-up duration was 48(6-96)months.The postoperative symptomatic recurrence rate was 5.1％(6/118),and the radiological recurrence rate was 6.8％(8/118).There were no statistically significant differences between recurrent(n=8)and non-recurrent patients(n=110)in terms of sex,age,body mass index(BMI),or hernia defect size(all P＞0.05),but the operative time in recurrent patients was longer than that in non-recurrent patients(P＜0.05).The overall postoperative complication rate was 8.5％(10/118),including stoma skin-mucosa separation(3 cases),stoma infection(2 cases),delayed bowel obstruction(2 cases),early bowel obstruction(1 case),hernia sac effusion(1 case),and delayed fistula formation in the hernia sac cavity(1 case).According to the Clavien-Dindo classification,there were 6 cases of grade Ⅱ,3 cases of gradeⅢa,and 1 case of grade Ⅳ complications.There were no statistically significant differences between patients with and without complications regarding sex,BMI,hernia defect size,operative time,and comorbidities(all P＞0.05);however,patients with complications were older than those without(P＜0.05). Conclusion:The application of laparoscopic Sugarbaker repair under the guidance of two-point mesh identification can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of parastomal hernia and It has high clinical applicability.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Objective To investigate the ideas for the clinical and genetic diagnosis of hepatolenticular degeneration （HLD） occurring in two consecutive generations. Methods The information on history of present illness， past history， and family history were collected from three patients with HLD who were admitted to our department from June 2017 to July 2023， and their first-degree relatives who might have this disease were examined in terms of liver function， serum ceruloplasmin （CP）， basal 24-hour urinary copper excretion （urinary Cu）， Kayser-Fleischer ring （KFR） of the cornea， abdominal ultrasound， and ATP7B gene testing. Results Among the parents or children of the probands in these three families， two were found to have elevated serum aminotransferases， three had a reduction in CP and an increase in urinary Cu， and 1 had fatty liver； all of them had compound heterozygous mutations in the ATP7B gene， and all tested negative for KFR. This study identified three families with HLD occurring in two consecutive generations and found a new pathogenic mutation. Conclusion CP， KFR， or abdominal ultrasound has certain limitations in screening pre-symptomatic HLD； urinary Cu test has a good sensitivity， and genetic testing can further improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Due to the high carrying rate of ATP7B pathogenic mutations in the population with HLD， HLD occurring in two consecutive generations should be taken seriously in clinical practice.

Objective:To summarize the experience and effect of mitral valvuloplasty in the treatment of mitral valve disease in infants.Methods:The clinical data of 140 infants with mitral valve disease from June 2010 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 62 males and 78 females, with body weight of(6.4±1.4)kg and age of(196.6±80.1)days. Among them, 131 cases were moderately or above mitral insufficiency, and 9 cases were mitral stenosis. The perioperative and follow-up clinical data were recorded, and the therapeutic effect and prognostic factors of mitral valve plastic surgery were analyzed.Results:All 140 children were received surgery of mitral valve repair under cardiopulmonary bypass. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was(79.1±41.9)min, aortic cross clamp time was(46.8±20.0)min, 7(5%)early death. Mechanical ventilation time was(74.2±149.8)h. After surgery, mild mitral regurgitation was found in 48 cases, mild-moderate regurgitation in 53 cases, moderate regurgitation in 32 cases, moderate-severe regurgitation in 6 cases, severe regurgitation in 1 case, with no mitral stenosis. During the follow-up period of 6-126 months, 3 cases died in the long term, and 11 cases were reoperated. Freedom from >moderate mitral regurgitation at 5 years after surgery was 81.2%. Longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and postoperative mitral regurgitation were risk factors for death and moderate or above regurgitation at the follow-up.Conclusion:Mitral valvuloplasty can effectively treat the mitral regurgitation and stenosis in infants. The prognosis of children with short cardiopulmonary bypass time and good valve plastic effect is better. For infants with Carpentier type I, good shaping effect can be achieved by mitral annuloplasty alone, while for type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ, treatment should be tailored to deal with the problems at all levels of the valve, and additional annuloplasty should be performed.

Objective:To summarize single-center experience and short-term outcomes of surgical treatment of pediatric cardiac fibromas.Methods:There was a retrospective study of 10 patients who underwent surgical treatment of cardiac fibromas between January 2018 and October 2021. Fibromas were located in the left ventricle in 7 cases, and in the right ventricle in 3 cases. Mean tumor diameter was(5.6±2.0) cm.Results:Median age at surgery was 3.1 years old(5 months-9 years old). Nine patients received complete resection, and the other one received partial resection. One patient with giant left ventricular fibroma required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for ventricular fibrillation after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, and was successfully weaned on the third postoperative day. There was no early mortality. Median follow-up time was 6 months(1 month-3 years). No tumor recurrence nor ventricular arrhythmia was documented during the follow-up period.Conclusion:Pediatric cardiac fibromas can be usually treated by complete resection, with relief of cardiac dysfunction and ventricular arrythmia after surgery, and with satisfactory results.
