The outcome of total fundoplication surgery for GER disease is unsatisfactory in 15% of patients. The likelihood of an unsuccessful outcome can be reduced by careful patient selection, which includes making an accurate diagnosis, and by choosing an operation that is tailored to the patient's physiology. Intraoperative and acute postoperative complications fortunately are rare and can be avoided through the use of meticulous surgical techniques. Late complications, including dysphagia, recurrent reflux symptoms, and delayed gastric emptying, are common and have a rate of reoperation of up to 10%; a systematic evaluation usually discloses their underlying causes. A slipped fundoplication wrap, an excessively tight wrap, a paraesophageal hiatal hernia, and severe recurrent symptoms are common indications for reoperation. 相似文献

Severe pain, impaired movement, serious deformity and (or) instability of the knee due to osteoarthritis or another joint disease are indications for total knee replacement. Contraindications are a high surgical risk and poor function of the M. quadriceps femoris. The main problems immediately after the operation are: wound infection and prosthetic infection, palsy of the peroneal nerve and deep venous thrombosis. These occur in approximately 2% of the patients. After replacement and 3 months' rehabilitation the knee is usually free of pain and stable with a good range of movement. After 10 years, 93-98% of the operated knees are still satisfactory, and after 15 years, 85-95%. Reasons for revision are infection, mechanical loosening of components, wear of polyethylene and progressive instability. 相似文献

Liver involvement was retrospectively evaluated in 137 patients with murine typhus. Fifteen (10.9%) were jaundiced. One patient had been subjected to cholecystectomy after misdiagnosis of acute cholecystitis. Serum aminotransferase levels were abnormal in 48/52 measurements, and there were elevations of > 5-fold in 14 patients. Liver biopsies and/or necropsies from four jaundiced patients showed portal tract and sinusoidal infiltrates, cloudy swelling/and necrosis of the hepatocytes and occasional pseudogranuloma formation. There were striking mitoses even in the early stage, suggesting rapid hepatocellular regeneration. Haemolytic diseases (G6PD deficiency or haemoglobinopathies), alcoholism, and a second infection probably also contributed to the pathogenesis of jaundice in murine typhus. This rickettsiosis should be included among differential diagnoses of acute hepatitis in patients exposed to areas endemic for Rickettsia typhi. 相似文献

The application of lithium preparations in the therapy and prophylaxis of recidivations of affective psychoses has essentially gathered in point in psychiatry during the last years. Apart from the discussion of the indication, the contraindication and efficacy especially concomitant appearances, side effects and dangers as well as their influencibility are demonstrated, the knowledge of which is of importance also for the physician not dealing with psychiatry. 相似文献

The authors report their views on the treatment of unoperable neoplastic esophago-gastric stenoses with Nitinol prostheses. Despite a number of advantages (reduced trauma, greater tolerability) in relation to plastic prostheses, the paper highlights some problems (difficulty of unfastening, incomplete opening) which may be eliminated by improved materials. 相似文献

Experience with the GUEPAR prosthesis in 292 cases of which 103 have been followed for more than 2 years, suggests that: implanting a hinge prosthesis is major surgery on elderly patients in whom severe complications have occurred and for this reason, the operations should be reserved for extremely damaged and unstable knees; the most important local complications have been deep sepsis for which we have noted a rate of 6.6 per cent; in the treatment of sepsis, everything must be done to preserve the prosthesis because arthrodesis is difficult to obtain; pain relief has been significant as a result of the operation. The prosthetic design allows flexion of more than 90 degrees in 85 per cent of the cases and 120 degrees in 26 per cent; after two years, the results seem relatively stable. We have not observed aseptic loosening after this period but a longer observation period is necessary to be reassured on this point; patellar pain remains a major concern because this arthroplasty has not solved the problem, and other solutions will have to be found. 相似文献

Nonoperative management of forearm fractures in children has a good outcome in over 90% of all cases. In our own series (n = 102) there were only six children (6.1%) with significant limitation (> 25 degrees) of forearm rotation. In these cases two out of four (50%) were located in the proximal third but only two out of 68 in the distal third. Indications for operative stabilization are the following: compound fractures, fractures associated with vessel and nerve injuries, joint fractures, dislocated fractures of the middle and proximal third, and Monteggia/Galeazzi injuries. As implants intramedullary devices are preferred. Twenty children were managed with elastic IM rods between 1994 and 1995 at our institution. At final follow-up all had a free ROM and a maximal axial malalignment of less than 5 degrees. In the region of the distal forearm K-wires are useful. Plates play a dominant role for corrections and nonunions; external skeletal stabilization is indicated for temporary fixation in compound fractures. 相似文献

In the management of esophageal cancer, endoscopy has evolved from a tool used to provide biopsy confirmation of suspected tumor to an integral part of the staging and ongoing treatment of patients. Endoscopic ultrasound is currently the most accurate means for T and N staging. Improved endoscopic techniques like dye staining and aggressive biopsy protocols can identify very early stage tumors in high-risk groups and allow curative surgery. Patients with early-stage tumors who are not surgical candidates can also be treated with endoscopic mucosectomy, photodynamic therapy, or Nd:YAG laser and still have a chance of long-term cure. Palliation of advanced tumors remains the major role of endoscopy in patients with esophageal cancer. A variety of techniques have proven effective over the years, including dilatation, laser, and rigid prostheses. Newer developments like bipolar probes, injection therapy, photodynamic therapy, and brachytherapy offer potential applications. The development and continuing improvements in both coated and uncoated expandable metal stents have been perhaps the greatest recent advance in endoscopic palliation of malignant dysphagia and esophagorespiratory fistulas. With the increasing array of endoscopic treatments and palliative techniques, emphasis must be placed on considering functional status; tumor characteristics like stage, location, and shape; patient wishes; and local expertise in tailoring treatment plans for each situation. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Severe eye burns often result in extensive necrosis of the conjunctiva and episcleral tissue. Video fluorescein angiography was performed to reveal the perfusion of the anterior eye segment after severe eye burns. METHODS: A scanning laser ophthalmoscope was used for anterior segment fluorescein angiography in 12 patients (14 eyes) with severe burns grade III-IV and in 7 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Necrotic tissues occurred as non perfused areas and remained dark throughout the whole angiogram. In general, the borders from healthy to necrotic conjunctival tissue were sharply demarcated. Thus, the extent of scleral and limbal ischemia could be determined exactly. Injured vessels showed hyperfluorescence with late leakage. Damage of the subconjunctival tissue appeared as a deep weak fluorescence in the early angiography and exhibited patchy leakage in the late angiogram. CONCLUSIONS: Anterior segment angiography provides a basis for deciding the extent of surgical debridement of necrotic tissue in the acute phase of the burn. The determination of the extent of limbal and scleral ischemia may give useful information for early plastic-reconstructive procedures. 相似文献

To determine predictors of death, nursing home placement and hospital admission, a prospective study was carried out in a university-affiliated geriatric hospital and a general practice. One hundred and thirty-five patients consecutively admitted from home to the geriatric hospital and discharged home again (site 1), and 144 patients, aged 70 years and over, of a general practice (site 2) were recruited for a comprehensive geriatric assessment program. At baseline, none was completely dependent on others, or severely demented. At follow-up after 18 months, 46 subjects (17%) had died, 20 subjects (7%) had been institutionalized, and 79 had been admitted to hospital (28%) in the interim. Univariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between Barthel Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Balance and Gait Evaluation, Timed "Up and Go", Timed Test of Money Counting. Grip-Strength and Williams Board Test, and death as well as nursing home placement. Barthel-ADL were significantly correlated with hospital admission. In a logistic regression analysis, Barthel-ADL were independent predictors for death; Barthel-ADL, Timed "Up and Go", Timed Test of Money Counting, and Williams Board Test were independent predictors for nursing home placement. No independent predictor was found for hospital admission. It is concluded that self-report and performance-based measures of functional capabilities are useful instruments to identify patients at risk for nursing home placement and death. Factors contributing to hospital admissions are other than those measured by the applied tests. 相似文献

About 10% of patients consulting a family practitioner have neurological complaints, and about 2% ultimately receive a neurological diagnosis. As it is not possible to train enough neurologists for these patients, graduating medical students must be competent and confident in assessing neurological problems, particularly those that are common, treatable or require emergency management. An evaluation was made of the neurological problems commonly seen in family practice, the difficulties in managing neurological problems by the family practitioner and the criteria for referral to a neurologist. To evaluate the teaching of medical students and house staff, the types of problems seen in a teaching hospital neurology service were examined. As a result of this study an approach to the training of physicians is outlined to assist them to handle confidently and competently the neurological problems they will see in daily practice. 相似文献

Despite limited evidence, the general consensus is that corticosteroids can cause psychiatric complications, mainly depression. This is most noticeable in high doses or in medical conditions with neuropsychiatric sequelae. The prognosis is usually good if corticosteroids are discontinued, but further study of the prevalence of psychiatric reactions, their mechanism of action and appropriate treatment is necessary. 相似文献

Over the last 16 years more than 3,000 procedures involving multi-component inflatable penile prosthesis have been performed. A variety of types of complications have been encountered, including mechanical problems with the prosthesis, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, problems with infection and patient dissatisfaction. During the course of this experience we have made some observations and developed techniques to minimize and treat the complications seen with both routine and difficult inflatable penile prosthesis implantation surgery. 相似文献
