The three patients showed different degrees of Cantrell＇s pentalogy including abdominal ectopia cordis, thoracic-abdominal ectopia cordis and left ventricular diverticulum. Of the three, the 5-month-old boy suffering from complicated congenital heart disease with abdominal ectopia cordis received a successful single stage repair and reconstruction of the abdominal wall. The 33-week-old premature girl with thoracic-abdominal ectopia cordis underwent two stage correction of tetraology of Fallot. The 4-year-old girl underwent ectomy of left ventricular diverticulum and thoracoabdominal wall repair. Twenty-four to thirty-five months follow-up were satisfactory. We hold that two-stage repair are technically feasible for Cantrell＇s syndrome, especially for those with complex congenital heart diseases. Post-operative ventilatory support and multiple post-operative care should be prolonged. Malnutrition, infection and arrhytbmia are central problems in medical care and surgery should be considered if there was progressive heart failure or hemodynamic instability.展开更多

The cyst locations were mediastinal in 13 (59.1%) and intrapulmonary in 9 (40. 9%). There were symptoms (chest pain and recurrent bronchiolits) in 20 patients (91%). The preoperative complications included infection in the lung and in the cyst and dysphagia due to esophageal compression. Chest pain was the main symptom in mediastinal cyst and recurrent infection of lung in intrapulmonary cyst. Plain chest radiograms showed that a round shadow, occasional air-fluid levels, and peripheral calcification may be found in cysts. An operation is the best treatment for cysts. All cysts were completely excised. No postoperative cornphcations. late complications, or recurrence developed in our patients.展开更多

Methods. Retrospective clinical and roentgenograph review of 21 patients who suffered from degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis treated by decompression, posterolateral intertransverse arthrodesis, and with transpedicle instrumentation of SOCON system. Results.Nineteen of 21 patients were completely recovery from their preoperative symptoms, 17 of 18 cases with grade one slippage reduced to normal spine alignment, 2 cases of grade two slippage fully reduced, and one case of grade two spondylolisthesis got 70% reduction. Post operative satisfactory rate was 90.5%. Pain relief was 90.5%. Neither infection nor neurologic complication occurred in this series. Conclusion. Our short time followup and limited cases showed satisfactory preliminary result of surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis with SOCON instrumentation.展开更多

Methods One hundred and eight cases of hepatolithiasis treated in our hospital from January 1986 to September 2003 were summarized and analyzed retrospectively. The primary surgery included 57 cases of biliary tract exploration and cholangiolithotomy, 26 cases of cholangiojejunostomy, and 25 cases of partial hepatectomy. Of these cases, 156 operations were performed totally. There were 36 patients undergoing two or more operations for cholangiolithiasis problem. Fiberoptic choledochoscopy was employed to examine and remove the residual stones during and after operation in all cases. Results The residual stone rates were 57.89% (33/57), 26.92% (7/26), and 24.0% (6/25) for biliary tract exploration and cholangiolithotomy, cholangiojejunostomy, and partial hepatectomy, respectively. Fiberoptic choledochoscopy was utilized pre- and post-operatively for each patient, which was performed 2 to 9 times on each case. Following the combined treatment, the rate of residual stone after operation decreased to 12.96% (14/108). Conclusions The combined surgical therapy is valuable for resolving the problem of hepatolithiasis in most of the patients. Regarding the clinical outcomes of different surgical procedures, partial hepatectomy is superior to cholangiojejuno- stomy or biliary tract exploration and cholangiolithotomy. Fiberoptic choledochoscopy is also important to reduce the occurrence of residual stones and the rate of reoperation.展开更多
From 1970 to 1997, 67 patients with pulmonary hamartoma were operated on in our hospital. There were 38 men and 29 women with a M/F ratio of 1. 3: 1. The mean age was 47 years (range 21 to 82 years).

The mean age was 47 years (range 21 to 82 years). The peak incidence was 40 to 60 years. 39% Patients had pulmonary symptoms: hemoptysis, cough, phlegm and chest pain. All were solitary. 68. 7% tumors were located in right lung and 64. 2% in upper or middle lobe. 80. 6% hamartomas were less than 3 cm in transverse diameter. On chest films, the opacity was homogeneous in 79.1% cases, heterogeneous in 20.9% and calcifications in 9.0%. The vast majority of shadows were heterogeneous on CT films. Operation is the best treatment for hamartomas. Postoperative mortality was 1. 5%. There was none recurrences and canceration during the follow-up (mean 14 years).展开更多

Methods From May 2000 to April 2003, 11 patients with functional univentricle underwent off-pump EC-TCPA (no-CPB group). Their postoperative outcome was retrospectively compared with a 17-patient group who underwent EC-TCPA with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB group) over a concurrent time period. Results There was 1 operative death in no-CPB group and 2 in CPB group; early postoperative hemodynamics appe-ared to significantly improve in no-CPB group. Blood and platelet transfusions decreased and blood plasma transfusion significantly lowered in no-CPB group compared with CPB group (P = 0.036). Postoperative courses of patients in no-CPB group were smooth and event free, and extubation time was substantially short. Intensive cares unit stay (P = 0.04) and hospital stay (P = 0.02) postoperation were significantly shorter, hospital costs were significantly reduced (P = 0.004) in no-CPB group compared with CPB group. Conclusions EC-TCPA without use of CPB is not a difficult procedure; the procedure results in improvement in postoperative hemodynamics, and decreased use of blood and blood products. It is a more efficient operation with more short recovery time and reduced hospital stay.展开更多
