The preparation of patients with oral glucose solutions decreases the incidence of postoperative (thyroidectomy) insulin-resistance, and occurrence of nausea/vomiting during the postoperative period.
THE AIM OF THE STUDY was comparison of inflammatory response intensity through estimation of CRP, IL-6 and WBC concentration in blood serum in patients before and after inguinal hernia operations with Stoppa and TEP method. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study involoved 117 patients operated on inguinal hernia between 2006-2008. The patients were divided into two groups. In the first group (group I - 56) Stopp'a method was used, in the second (group II - 61) TEP method. The patients selection was coincidental. All examined patients were men between 25-75 years old (mean age 54.3). Moreover, the operation's time, state of postoperative wound, the average hospitalization time and intensity of pain were estimated. The observations were directed over two weeks after operation. RESULTS. The inflammatory response estimated with CRP, IL-6 concentration in blood serum was considerably higher in patients operated with Stoppa method. There wasn't observed a relevant difference in increase of white blood cells' concentration in both groups. Moreover, the patients operated on with TEP method experienced lower pain. In group, operated on with Stoppa method, 3 cases of wound healing complications were observed. The operation's time was considerably shorter in the first group. The hospitalization time, was considerably shorter in patients operated on with videoscopic method. CONCLUSIONS. The operation of inguinal hernia with TEP technique in comparison with Stopp'a method is connected with considerably lower inflammatory response of organism, what directly involve with postoperative pain abridgment and reduction of hospitalization time. Moreover it may have influence on frequency of postoperative complications related with wound healing.
An adrenal tumors are a clinical problem encountered by all health care providers go into endocrinological surgery. Nowadays the videoscopic adrenalectomy gains mounting acceptance. In the adrenal operations two kinds of operative access are used: an itraperitoneal and an extraperitoneal. The aim of the study was to analyse its own material and literature in purpose to find the answer if extraperitoneal access may be acknowledged as widely used method in adrenal tumor operations. Material and methods. 68 videoscopic adrenalectomy with extraperitoneal access were made in the Surgery Department of MSWiA Hospital in Łódź, between 2005 to 2007. The time of the operation, the time of the hospitalization, intraoperative blod loose, probability of complications, number and reasons of the conversies were taken into account. Results. In all the patients was performed complete tumor resection with adrenal gland.The diameter of removed tumors was between 4-14 cm. In 23 cases (33.8%), intraoperatively, during tumor preparation, the continuity of the peritoneum was broken however it didn't have any influence for the operation's proceedings and postoperative condition of the patients. Three conversions were made (4.4%). The average time of hospitalization was about 3.1 days. There weren't observed, in the postoperative period any wound suppurations or postoperative hernias. Conclusions. The own observations in confrontation with literature let find an extraperitoneal videoscopy as method with wide application in various size and origination in adrenal tumor operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
