Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of the modified vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap in repairing the skin and soft tissue defect after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From June 2019 to July 2022, five male patients with low rectal cancer who were conformed to the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Basic Surgery of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, with ages ranging from 65 to 70 years and the sizes of the perianal skin ulcers ranging from 5 cm×4 cm to 11 cm×9 cm, and all of them underwent abdominoperineal resection. The secondary skin and soft tissue defects in the perineum with an area of 8 cm×6 cm-14 cm×12 cm (with the depth of pelvic floor dead space being 10-15 cm) were repaired intraoperatively with transplantation of modified vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps with the skin area being 9 cm×7 cm-16 cm×12 cm, the volume of the muscle being 18 cm×10 cm×5 cm-20 cm×12 cm×5 cm, and the vessel pedicle being 18-20 cm in length. During the operation, most of the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle was retained, the flap was transferred to the recipient area through the abdominal cavity, the remaining anterior sheaths of the rectus abdominis muscle on both sides of the donor area were repeatedly folded and sutured, the free edge of the transverse fascia of the abdomen was sutured with the anterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle, and the donor area skin was directly sutured. After the operation, the survival of the transplanted myocutaneous flap was observed. The occurrence of complications in the perineal recipient area was recorded within 2 weeks after the operation. The recovery of the perineal recipient area and the abdominal donor area was observed during follow-up, and the occurrence of complications in the donor area of the abdomen as well as the recurrence of tumors and metastasis were recorded.Results:All transplanted myocutaneous flaps in 5 patients survived after surgery. One patient had dehiscence of the incision in the perineal recipient area 2 days after surgery, which healed after 7 d with intermittent dressing changes and routine vacuum sealing drainage treatment. In the other 4 patients, no complications such as incisional rupture, incisional infection, or fat liquefaction occurred in the perineal recipient area within 2 weeks after surgery. Follow-up for 6-12 months after discharge showed that the skin of the perineal recipient area had good color, texture, and elasticity, and was not bloated in appearance; linear scars were left in the perineal recipient area and the abdominal donor area without obvious scar hyperplasia or hyperpigmentation; no complications such as incisional rupture, incisional infection, intestinal adhesion, intestinal obstruction, or weakening of the abdominal wall strength occurred in the abdominal donor area, and the abdominal appearance was good with no localized bulge or formation of abdominal hernia; there was no local recurrence of tumor or metastasis in any patient.Conclusions:The surgical approach of using the modified vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap to repair the skin and soft tissue defects after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer is relatively simple in operation, can achieve good postoperative appearances of the donor and recipient areas with few complications, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of repairing postoperative nasal skin cancer defect with subcutaneous pedicle flap based on partition and blood supply.Methods:From March 2018 to September 2020, 39 patients with skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, Bowen′s disease, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma in situ) were repaired with kites subcutaneous pedicle flap after extensive resection.Results:Thirty-nine patients were treated with parafasal kite flaps, including 44 cases. The donor sites of the flap were nasal tip in 4 cases, bilateral alar in 7 cases, bilateral nasolabial sulcus in 19 cases, bilateral parasinal in 12 cases and interglabellar in 2 cases. There were no serious complications such as necrosis, hematoma or infection. During the follow-up period of 6 to 24 months, 2 patients complained of occasional tingling in the surgical area, 1 complained of occasional pruritus, and 1 patient had local recurrence of squamous cell carcinoma and underwent surgery again. The scar was evaluated 6 months after surgery, and the scores of Vancouver scar scale and visual analogue scale were 2.42±1.04 and 7.83±1.21, respectively. The skin color of the operation area was similar to that of the surrounding skin without obvious local strain deformation.Conclusions:The subcutaneous pedicle flap designed by considering the nasal division and blood supply has a high survival rate, fewer complications and small local appearance deformation, which is worthy of popularization and application.

BACKGROUND:Arteriovenous internal fistula is the first choice for hemodialysis. In the process of hemodialysis, many patients suffer from venous outflow stenosis. The methods including thrombolysis, intervention, surgical repair and fistula reconstruction al have their disadvantages. OBJECTIVE:To compare the midterm effects of polytetrafluoroethylene segment implantation and exclusively surgical repair in arteriovenous internal fistula with outflow tract obstruction. METHODS:Eighty patients with venous outflow stenosis, aged 22-80 years, were divided into test group (n=50;polytetrafluoroethylene segment implantation) and control group (n=30;simple surgical repair). The post-operative infection rate, postoperative time til recurrence of fistula dysfunction, and accumulate survival rate were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:During the fol ow-up period of 10-28 months in the test group, there were nine patients with vascular access dysfunction, and the accumulate survival rate was 100%for 6 postoperative months, 92%for 12 months, and 82%for 18 months. In the control group, there were seven cases of vascular access dysfunction at 8-28 months of fol ow-up, and the accumulate survival rate was 93%for 6 postoperative months, 87%for 12 months, and 77%for 18 months. No statistical y significant difference in the postoperative infection rate was observed between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the accumulate survival rate was slightly higher in the test group than the control group, but there was no significant difference based on log-rank test (P=0.44). These findings indicate that polytetrafluoroethylene segment implantation for arteriovenous internal fistula with outflow tract obstruction has the similar effects as the surgical repair if it does not alter the autologous behavior of the initial access and maximal y reserve the vessels for puncture.
