Object: To investigate effects of the high ligation of hernia sac with absorbable string for children with indirect inguinal hernia. Method: A retrospective analysis of 92 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent the high ligation of hernia sac was conducted in the present study, in which 20 cases underwent the high ligation of hernia sac with absorbable string while 72 cases treated with the high ligation of hernia sac with non-absorbable suture. The mean operation time, mean intraoperative blood loss and average postoperative hospital stay and postoperative pain rating were analyzed. Results: Though no statistical difference existed in the mean operation time, mean intraoperative blood loss, average postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the postoperative pain in the high ligation of hernia sac with absorbable string group was significantly lower than that of the non-absorbable group. Conclusion: Compared with that of the high ligation of hernia sac with non-absorbable string, there is lower grade postoperative pain in the high ligation with absorbable suture.

Abstract We aim to evaluate the surgical outcome of laparoendoscopic two-site myomectomy (LETS-M). The medical records of 204 women receiving LETS-M in a tertiary referral center, including 183 surgeries performed by the experienced surgeon and 21 surgeries performed by 3 well-supervised trainees were retrospectively reviewed. The age of the participants was 39.3±6.4 years. The mean diameter of the largest myoma was 8.5±2.2 cm. The mean weight of the myomas was 281.1±183.1 g. The operation time was 97.6±40.2 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 99.3±115.2 mL. There were 3 (1%) cases of excessive blood loss (more than 500 mL) and 2 (1%) of postoperative hematoma. The only significant difference between the experienced surgeon and trainees was the operation time (92.3±32.2 min vs. 141.2±54 min, p<.001), while the myoma number, myoma diameter, myoma weight, and intraoperative blood loss were not significantly different. The operation time did not differ among different myoma locations. In multivariate analysis, virginity, myoma number, more than 2 large myomas, and myoma size were independent variables for longer operation times. No patient experienced any major complications. The result revealed that LETS-M is a minimally invasive surgical method that is safe, effective, and easy to learn for managing uterine myoma.

Abstract Background: To analyze perioperative conditions and long-term efficacy of open modified ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion (OMUUD) in patients with bladder cancer who underwent open radical cystectomy (ORC) and laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC).Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical data of patients who underwent open and laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus open modified ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion in our hospital were collected from January 2011 to December 2019. In addition, perioperative data of 56 patients who underwent ORC and OMUUD were compared with those of 118 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) plus OMUUD. A long-term follow-up was performed to compare the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rate between the two groups.Results: Results showed that there was no significant difference between ORC+OMUUD group and LRC+OMUUD group in terms of gender, age, body index, pre-operative ASA grade, history of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) before surgery, tumor T stage, lymph node dissection range, pathological grade, and positive postoperative surgical margin. The mean operation time in the open group was shorter than that in the laparoscopic group (P<0.001). Moreover, the estimated intraoperative blood loss(P<0.001)and postoperative hospital stay(P=0.023)were better in the laparoscopic group than in the open group. The incidence of complications between 30 days (P=0.665) and 90 days (P=0.211) time-points after surgery was not significantly different. Similarly, the OS (P=0.237) and PFS (P=0.307) between the two groups were comparable.Conclusion: This study shows that the LRC group has long operation time, but less estimated intraoperative blood loss, short postoperative hospital stay, small trauma, and fast postoperative recovery compared to open surgery. Moreover, the incidence of complications at 30 - and 90-days postoperation, as well as the OS and PFS is not different between laparoscopy and open surgery.

Objective This study was performed to introduce a new method of minimally invasive subtalar arthrodesis (MISA) and assess its clinical effects on traumatic subtalar arthritis (TSA). Methods Fifteen patients (8 male and 7 female; age range, 36–56 years; mean age, 48.67 years) with TSA who underwent MISA were included. All patients were treated using a series instrument. The intraoperative and postoperative indexes were recorded. Results Among all patients, the mean operation time was 59.67 ± 16.31 minutes and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 43.33 ± 52.87 mL. Four patients underwent iliac crest bone graft surgery, and one patient developed a complication involving fat liquefaction of the iliac crest wound. The mean bony fusion time among all patients was 3.5 months. According to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society standard, an excellent outcome was obtained in eight patients and a good outcome was obtained in seven patients. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly different between patients who did and did not undergo iliac crest bone graft surgery. Conclusion MISA is a simple and effective method for the treatment of TSA.

Purpose. The purpose of the present study was to review the literature regarding the blood loss and postoperative pain in the isolated sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). Materials and Methods. Investigating the intraoperative blood loss and postoperative pain, articles were selected from 1970 to 2021 in the English published databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library). Article retrieval and selection were performed by two authors, and they independently evaluated them based on the eligibility criteria. The articles meeting the search criteria had especially at least 30 patients. Results. In the review of intraoperative blood loss, a total of 139 articles were retrieved and restricted to 6 articles (SSRO: 4; IVRO: 2). In the review of postoperative pain, a total of 174 articles were retrieved and restricted to 4 articles (SSRO: 3; IVRO: 1). The mean blood loss of SSRO and IVRO was ranged from 55 to 167 mL and 82 to 104 mL, respectively. The mean visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the first postoperative day were 2 to 5.3 in SSRO and 2.93 to 3.13 in IVRO. The mean VAS scores of the second postoperative day were 1 to 3 in SSRO and 1.1 to 1.8 in IVRO. Conclusion. Compared to traditional SSRO, IVRO had a significantly lower amount of blood loss. However, the blood transfusion is not necessary in a single-jaw operation (SSRO or IVRO). Postoperative pain was similar between SSRO and IVRO.

Background: Intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pain are two commonest concerns for both patient and surgeon in tonsillectomy. This study was aimed to compare intraoperative blood loss and early postoperative pain between ultrasonic device and bipolar diathermy tonsillectomy in children.Methods: Prospective, interventional, single blinded, comparative study was carried out from September 2016 to September 2017 including children up to age 15 years who underwent tonsillectomy either by bipolar diathermy or ultrasonic device. Intraoperative blood loss was recorded using standard sized gauge technique. Post-tonsillectomy pain on first five postoperative days (early postoperative pain) was assessed using Visual analog scale for children older than 5 years and FLACC score for children up to 5 years respectively.Means were compared.Results: 38 children (76 tonsils) were included in the study out of which 31 were boys (62 tonsils) and 7 were girls (14 tonsils). The mean intraoperative blood loss in ultrasonic dissection group was 13.94 ml and 13.91 ml in bipolar diathermy group. This difference was not statistically significant (p=0.974). Post-operative pain on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days were significantly less (p<0.05) in ultrasonic device group compared to bipolar diathermy group. Post-operative pain was less also on 5th post-operative day in ultrasonic device but was not statistically significant (p=0.172).Conclusions: Tonsillectomy in children using ultrasonic device did not differ from bipolar diathermy tonsillectomy in respect to intraoperative blood loss. However, early postoperative pain was significantly lower in ultrasonic device group.Keywords: Bipolar diathermy; tonsillectomy; ultrasonic device.

Abstract Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) in the treatment of giant ovarian cysts. Methods A total of 76 patients with giant ovarian cyst (diameter ≥ 10 cm) who received surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2018 to May 2021 were divided into experimental cohort (single-port laparoscopic cohort) (n = 30) and control cohort (traditional laparoscopic cohort) (n = 46).The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative cyst fluid spillage rate, application of postoperative analgesic drugs, postoperative first anus exhaust time, incidence rate of perioperative complications, length of postoperative hospital stay and other clinical indicators were summarized and analyzed between the two cohorts. Results The LESS cohorts had an earlier onset of age[ (27.6 ± 8.4) ,years of age], shorter of operation time [(82.2 ± 16.0)min], less of intraoperative blood loss [( 17.5 (10-22.5) ml)] as compared with traditional laparoscopic cohort[ (40.9 ± 15.5 )years of age, (102.7 ± 26.2)min, (20 (18.7–35) )m,P ༜ 0.05]. The first postoperative exhaust time,the rate of postoperative analgesic drugs, incidence rate of perioperative complications and postoperative hospital stay in two cohorts were in the similar line. Conclusion After adequate evaluation and screening of patients, the size of ovarian cysts cannot be the reason for refusing LESS surgery. It is safe and feasible for clinical promotion in the management of giant ovarian cysts.

Background: To explore the efficacy and safety of a new type of testicular excision with ultrasonic dissector. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 69 patients with advanced prostate cancer undergoing orchiectomy in our hospital between June 2017 and June 2019. All patients were divided into a traditional surgery group (n = 27) and an ultrasonic scalpel surgery group (n = 42). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complication rates were compared. Results: The ultrasonic scalpel surgery group had significantly shorter operation times and less intraoperative blood loss than the traditional surgery group (each P < 0.01). Moreover, the incidence of postoperative complication differed significantly between the traditional surgery group (18.52%) and the ultrasonic scalpel surgery group (0%) (P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The surgery time for testicular excision using the ultrasonic knife is short, the operation is simple and the complications are few and thus it may become a form of replacement for traditional testicular excision.

Abstract Background: Tourniquets are commonly used during foot and ankle surgery to provide a bloodless operative field and for the sake of the surgeon`s comfort, despite the potential risks associated with it. This study was performed to compare postoperative outcomes of tourniquet-assisted to non-tourniquet-assisted operative fixation of calcaneal fractures.Methods: A total of 131 patients with closed calcaneal fracture who underwent minimally invasive surgery of calcaneal fractures between March 2015 and December 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients for whom a tourniquet was used intraoperatively (n = 62) were compared to those without (n = 69). Operating time and visualization, blood loss, postoperative pain according to visual analogue scale (VAS), the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot score, and hospital length of stay were recorded for all the patients.Results: Statistical analysis of the results showed significant differences between tourniquet and non-tourniquet groups in the mean operation time, visibility of the surgical field, mean estimated intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, and mean VAS pain scores 24 H, 48 H, 72 H postoperatively (P < 0.05), whereas no significant difference between two groups in the mean Serum CPK levels, post-operative swelling, mean length of stay, AOFAS score, wound and fracture healing time, and the mean time for return to work.Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that tourniquet application during minimally invasive surgery of calcaneal fractures can significantly shorten the operation time, improve surgical visualization, and reduce intraoperative blood loss. However, adverse events associated with the use of tourniquet include increased postoperative pain, and more amount of postoperative bleeding. Due to higher postoperative pain and more amount of postoperative bleeding, more attention should be paid on the postoperative phase for those who tourniquet was used. The surgeon's decision to use a tourniquet during calcaneal fractures surgery should be carefully considered.

Introduction: Since 2 decades laparoscopichernia repair has gained key role in uncomplicated inguinal hernia surgery with advantages showed by several trials and guidelines. However, its role in complicated inguinal hernia such as incarcerated, obstructed and inguino-scrotal is debatable. Cases of large inguino-scrotal raises objection to laparoscopic procedure because of anticipated problems and complications in dissecting extended hernia sac even though posterior approach is advocated as repair of choice for complicated cases. Here, we reviewed our series of patients undergoing TEP in a limited time frame.Method: Between March 2013 and June 2014, 50 consecutive patients underwent TEP repair for inguinoscrotal hernia. Patient demographics, hernia characteristics, operating time, surgical technique, conversion rate, intraoperative, postoperative complications and recurrence was recorded and analyzed using MS Excel.Results: 50 patients were recorded, 26 had unilateral and 24 had bilateral hernias. Mean age was 52 (22-72) years. The mean operation time was 70 (50-140) min. Bilateral repairs took 45% (18 min) longer than for unilateral repairs (52 + 12 min). Two (12.5%) patients required combined open surgery to transect the incarcerated omentum. There was no mortality. Morbidity was limited to asymptomatic seroma formation in 2 (12.5%) patients; 1 patient of combined open-TEP approach had wound infection, both treated conservatively. Mean follow up was 6.3 months; we recorded 2 recurrences (12.5%). The mean length of hospital stay was 1.8 days.Conclusion: We conclude that TEP can be safely employed for complicated inguinal hernias repair. Surgical experience in mandatory with tailored technique to reduce morbidity and achieve good clinical outcome with acceptable recurrence rates.
