Continuous Jejunal Pouch and Residual Stomach Anastomosis Combined with Jejunal Lateral Anastomosis: An Improved Method of Gastrointestinal Reconstruction following Distal Gastrectomy.

Aim: Currently, there is no optimal digestive tract reconstruction technique well recognized by scholars after distal gastrectomy. A new reconstruction method, which was modified from the classic Roux-en-Y procedure, the continuous jejunal pouch and residual stomach anastomosis combined with jejunal lateral anastomosis (Contin-L), was established. In order to fully clarify the superiority of this procedure, this study has conducted a systematic analysis and prepared a summary of the clinical data of patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Results: All 18 patients underwent surgery without post-operative complications.

Learning curve for hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy.

Aim: To describe the learning curves of hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy (HALG) for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Methods: The HALG surgical procedure consists of three stages: surgery under direct vision via the port for hand assistance, hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery, and gastrointestinal tract reconstruction. According to the order of the date of surgery, patients were divided into 6 groups (A-F) with 20 cases in each group.

Three-step hand-assisted laparoscopic d2 radical gastrectomy for chinese obese patients: a highly efficient and feasible surgical approach.

Three-step hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy (HALG) is a modified surgical procedure that has achieved satisfactory results for obese patients in our surgical center. To fully elucidate the advantages of this procedure, in this study, comprehensive and in-depth comparative analyses were performed to assess clinical data from obese gastric cancer patients who underwent HALG, laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy (LAG), and open D2 radical gastrectomy (OG) in our surgical center during a specific time period. For the 3 groups, incision length was 1.

Transvaginal early fistula debridement and repair plus continuous vacuum aspiration via anal tube for rectovaginal fistula following rectal cancer surgery: report of four cases.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and superiority of transvaginal early fistula debridement and repair plus continuous vacuum aspiration via anal tube for rectovaginal fistula following rectal cancer surgery.

Methods: The clinical data of four cases of rectovaginal fistula following rectal cancer surgery were retrospectively analyzed in our center. After adequate preoperative preparation, the patients underwent transvaginal fistula debridement and repair plus continuous vacuum aspiration via anal tube under continuous epidural anesthesia.

Three-step hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery for radical distal gastrectomy: an effective surgical approach.

Objective: Three-step hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy (HALG) is a modified surgical technique based on hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) for the treatment of gastric cancer. This surgical approach is particularly easy and convenient for radical distal gastrectomy. In order to thoroughly understand the advantages of applying "three-step HALG" in distal gastrectomy, our center conducted a retrospective study to analyze data from patients who underwent HALG and laparoscopic-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy (LAG) during the corresponding time period.

Ertapenem prophylaxis of surgical site infections in elective colorectal surgery in China: a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study.

Objectives: Our purpose was to evaluate ertapenem versus ceftriaxone/metronidazole for prophylaxis of surgical site infections (SSIs) following elective colorectal surgery in Chinese adult patients.

Methods: Eligible Chinese adults aged 18-80 years scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery by laparotomy were randomized to receive a 30 min infusion of 1 g of ertapenem/metronidazole placebo or 2 g of ceftriaxone/500 mg of metronidazole within 2 h before initial incision. The study endpoint was the proportion of patients with successful prophylaxis at 4 weeks after treatment.

Hand-assisted laparoscopic versus laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy: a prospective study.

Backgroud: The feasibility and safety of Hand-assisted laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy (HALG) have been seldom reported, also, benefits and outcomes are not defined.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive and in-depth comparative analysis of the general information, the intraoperative data and postoperative data in the Group HALG and the Group laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy (LAG).

Results: The general data of HALG and LAG were no differences (P > 0.

Urinary function following laparoscopic lymphadenectomy for male rectal cancer.

Objectives: Urinary function can be protected following open lateral node dissection (LND) with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation (PANP) for advanced rectal cancer. However data regarding urinary function after laparoscopic LND with PANP have not been reported. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of laparoscopic LND with PANP on urinary function in male patients with rectal cancer.

[Analysis of lymph node dissection patterns in D2 radical gastrectomy by hand-assisted laparoscopic technique].

Objective: To summarize the experience of lymph node dissection patterns in hand-assisted laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Methods: One hundred and eleven patients with gastric carcinoma between December 2010 and September 2012 were operated by hand-assisted laparoscopic system designed by us. Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.

[Hand-assisted laparoscopic radical gastrectomy: comparison between laparoscopic and open approach].

Objective: To evaluate the short-term outcomes after hand-assisted laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Methods: Between June 2010 and May 2011, a series of 15 patients underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic gastrectomy(HG), 16 patients underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy(LP), and 11 patients underwent open gastrectomy(OP). Short-term outcomes included operative time, blood loss, lymph nodes harvested, and the length of incision were collected after operation.

[Construction of GFP-AWP1 fusion gene vector and its expression in 293 cells].

Objective: To construct green fluorescent protein (GFP)-AWP1 (a novel human protein associated with protein kinase C-related kinase 1) fusion gene vector for observing the expression and localization of AWP1 in 293 cells.

Methods: The coding region in AWP1 cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR from human endothelial cell line ECV304 and recombined into pEGFP-C2 plasmid expressing GFP. After identification with restriction endonucleases and sequence analysis, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into 293 cells with the cationic liposome DOTAP as the transfection reagent.
