Pleural Effusion in Spinal Deformity Correction Surgery- A Report of 28 Cases in a Single Center.

ABSTRACT: To analyze the occurrence, risk factors, treatment and prognosis of postoperative pleural effusion after spinal deformity correction surgery.The clinical and imaging data of 3325 patients undergoing spinal deformity correction were collected from the database of our hospital. We analyzed the therapeutic process of the 28 patients who had postoperative pleural effusion, and we identified the potential risk factors using logistic regression.Among the 28 patients with postoperative pleural effusion, 24 (85.7%) suffered from hemothorax, 2 (7.1%) from chylothorax, and 2 (7.1%) from subarachnoid-pleural fistula. The pleural effusion occurred on the convex side in 19 patients (67.9%), on the concave side in 4 patients (14.3%), and on both sides in 4 patients (14.3%). One patient with left hemothorax was diagnosed with kyphosis. The treatment included conservative clinical observation for 5 patients and chest tube drainage for 23 patients. One patient also underwent thoracic duct ligation and pleurodesis. All of these treatments were successful. Logistic regression analysis showed that adult patients(≥18 years old), congenital scoliosis, osteotomy and thoracoplasty were risk factors for postoperative pleural effusion in spinal deformity correction surgery.The incidence of postoperative pleural effusion in spinal deformity correction surgery was approximately 0.84% (28/3325), and hemothorax was the most common type. Chest tube drainage treatment was usually successful, and the prognosis was good. Adult patients(≥18 years old), congenital scoliosis, and had undergone osteotomy or surgery with thoracoplasty were more likely to suffer from postoperative pleural effusion.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided evaluation of the pleura and cases of pleural effusion.

Project description:The most efficient and cost-effective approach for the diagnosis of pleural exudates remains uncertain and is a subject of controversy. Essential factors to be considered include the respective diagnostic yields of thoracocentesis, closed pleural biopsy, and thoracoscopy. The role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) of the esophagus as a modality for the evaluation of pleural exudates has not yet been evaluated. The applied anatomy of the pleura has been discussed. The techniques involved in the EUS imaging of different aspects of the pleura in normal cases and in cases with pleural effusion are elaborated. The practical application of this knowledge can be useful in EUS-guided sampling of the pleural wall, pleural nodules, and in cases of pleural effusion.

Advances in Spinal Fusion Strategies in Adult Deformity Surgery.

Project description:Background:As the frequency of adult deformity surgery (ADS) continues to increase, our understanding of techniques that enhance fusion must continue to evolve because pseudarthrosis can be a serious and costly event. Purposes/Questions:We sought to conduct a review of the literature investigating techniques that can enhance outcomes of ADS. Methods:Two databases were searched for keywords such as "advances in spinal fusion," "new technology in adult spinal deformity," "interbody devices for adult spinal deformity," "adult spinal deformity rods," and "screw design in adult spinal deformity" to examine recent literature and trends in ADS. Results:We identified 45 articles for our review. Topics studied include the use of multiple rods, interbody fusion, distal fixation techniques, and bone morphogenetic protein or iliac crest bone graft. Conclusions:Many recent innovations in treatments to enhance fusion in ADS have been studied, some more controversial than others. Further research into the efficacy of these techniques may increase fusion rates in ADS.

Decision Making Algorithm for Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.

Project description:Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is one of the most challenging spinal disorders associated with broad range of clinical and radiological presentation. Correct selection of fusion levels in surgical planning for the management of adult spinal deformity is a complex task. Several classification systems and algorithms exist to assist surgeons in determining the appropriate levels to be instrumented. In this study, we describe our new simple decision making algorithm and selection of fusion level for ASD surgery in terms of adult idiopathic idiopathic scoliosis vs. degenerative scoliosis.

High-throughput autoantibody analysis in malignant pleural effusion and tuberculosis pleural effusion.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and tuberculosis pleural effusion (TPE) are 2 kinds of common pleural diseases. Finding efficient and accurate biomarkers to distinguish the 2 is of benefit to basic and clinical research. In the present study, we carried out the first high-throughput autoantibody chip to screen the beneficial biomarker with samples of MPE and TPE and the corresponding serum. METHODS:We collected pleural effusion and serum of patients with MPE (n?=?10) and TPE (n?=?10) who had been in Beijing Chao-Yang hospital from June 2013 to August 2014. Using RayBio Human Protein Array-G2 to measure the concentration of 487 defined autoantibodies. RESULTS:Fold changes of Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BIM) autoantibody in MPE-serum/TPE-serum and MPE/TPE groups were 10 (P?=?.019) and 6 (P?=?.001); for decorin autoantibody, MPE-serum/TPE-serum ratio was 0.6 (P?=?.029), and MPE/TPE ratio was 0.3 (P?<?.001). CONCLUSION:BIM autoantibody is a promising MPE biomarker by high-throughput autoantibody analysis in MPE and TPE.

Facial deformity correction and genioplasty; a case report and literature review.

Project description:Introductiondentofacial deformities are mainly congenital problems that distort the face structure. However, they have many adverse effects on adolescents' quality of life and self-esteem.Case presentationWe report a case of an 18-year-old female with no family history or previous surgical method. She presented to our hospital with a facial deformity, including a midline shift of 1.5 teeth to the left side and a malalignment of dentation. Orthopantomography (OPG) X-ray and cephalometric X-ray assessed the deformity extent and determined the appropriate surgical procedure. As a result, the patient underwent genioplasty and bimaxillary (BiMax) surgery to correct the problem.DiscussionFacial deformities occur during the normal embryonic phase and develop clearly when the patient reaches puberty due to a growth spurt. Some researchers encourage early correction, while others recommend the surgery only after completing the growth. However, the perfect age for this surgery is 19 years old for boys and 17 for girls after the cessation of facial growth. Therefore, our patient underwent surgery at 18 years old, which is the desirable age.ConclusionGenioplasty and BiMax are reasonable procedures to treat facial deformities and correct malalignment of dentation in an 18-year-old patient without major complications.

Indwelling pleural catheters for malignancy-associated pleural effusion: report on a single centre's ten years of experience.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Recurrent pleural effusion is a common cause of dyspnoea, cough and chest pain during the course of malignant diseases. Chemical pleurodesis had been the only definitive treatment option until two decades ago. Indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) emerged as an alternative, not only assuring immediate symptom relief but also potentially leading to pleurodesis in the absence of sclerosing agents. METHODS:In this single-centre retrospective observational study patient characteristics, procedural variables and outcome in a large population of patients with IPC in malignancy were evaluated and prognostic factors for pleurodesis were identified. RESULTS:From 2006 to 2016, 395 patients received 448 IPC, of whom 121 (30.6%) had ovarian, 91 (23.0%) lung and 45 (11.4%) breast cancer. The median length of IPC remaining in place was 1.2?months (IQR, 0.5-2.6), the median survival time after insertion 2.0?months (IQR, 0.6-6.4). An adequate symptom relief was achieved in 94.9% of all patients, with no need for subsequent interventions until last visit or death. In patients surviving ?30?days after IPC insertion, pleurodesis was observed in 44.5% and was more common in patients <?60?years (HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.05-2.78; p =?0.03). The use of an additional talc slurry via the IPC was highly predictive for pleurodesis (HR 6.68; 95% CI, 1.44-31.08; p =?0.02). Complications occurred in 13.4% of all procedures (n =?60), 41.8% concerning infections (local infections at the tunnel/exit site (n =?14) and empyema (n =?11)), and 98.3% being low or mild grade (n =?59). Complication rates were higher in men than women (18.6 vs. 12.4%, p =?0.023). CONCLUSION:High efficacy in symptom relief and a favourable safety profile confirm IPC as suitable first line option in most malignant pleural effusions. The study presents the largest dataset on IPC in gynaecologic cancer to date. Gender-specific differences in complication rates warrant further study.

Outcome of surgery for chronic pancreatitis related pancreatic ascites and pancreatic pleural effusion.

Project description:BackgroundAn internal pancreatic fistula involves an abnormality in the way that the pancreas communicates with organs and spaces within the body. This is usually due to a disrupted pancreatic duct or psuedocyst leakage (Ascitic or pleural fluid amylase level >1000 S units/dl and fluid protein level >3 g/dl). The study aims to report our experience with surgery for chronic pancreatitis-related pancreatic ascites and pancreatic pleural effusions.MethodsAll the patients, who underwent surgical intervention for pancreatic ascites and pancreatic pleural effusion between August 2007 and December 2020 in the Department of Surgical gastroenterology, Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata, India were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsOf the total 14 patients, 10 (71.4%) were men with a median age of 40 (4-49) years. The median interval between onset of symptoms of CP and diagnosis of IPF was 27 (3-60) months. All patients had a history of chronic abdominal pain and 5 (35.7%) had a prior history of hospitalization for pain. Eleven patients (78.5%) presented with abdominal distension and 3 (21.4%) patients had respiratory distress. Six (42.8%) patients had undergone endotherapy before surgery. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography detected pancreatic pseudocyst in 10 (71.42%) patients. The most commonly performed operation was lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (n = 11, 78.5%). Seven postoperative complications developed in 4 (28.5%) patients. After a median follow-up of 60 (6-86) months, no patient developed recurrence of pancreatic ascites or pleural effusion.ConclusionIn the experienced hand, surgery can be performed with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality and long-term satisfactory outcomes.

Pleuroscopy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for exudative pleural effusion: a comparative overview.

Project description:Exudative pleural effusions, such as malignant and tuberculous pleural effusions, are associated with notable morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, a significant number of these effusions will remain undiagnosed despite thoracentesis. Traditionally, closed pleural biopsies have been the next best diagnostic step, but the diagnostic yield of blind closed pleural biopsies for malignant pleural effusions is insufficient. When image-guided targeted biopsies are not possible, both pleuroscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery are reasonable options for obtaining pleural biopsies, but the decision to select one procedure over the other continues to raise much debate. Pleuroscopy (aka. medical thoracoscopy, local anaesthetic thoracoscopy) is a relatively common procedure performed by interventional pulmonologists in the bronchoscopy suite with local anesthesia, often as an outpatient procedure, on spontaneously breathing patients. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, on the other hand, is performed by thoracic surgeons in the operating room, on mechanically ventilated patients under general anesthesia, though admittedly considerable overlap exists in practice. Both pleuroscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery have reported diagnostic yields of over 90%, although pleuroscopy more often leads to the unsatisfactory diagnosis of 'non-specific' pleuritis. These cases of 'non-specific' pleuritis need to be followed up for at least one year, as 10-15% of them will eventually lead to the diagnosis of cancer, typically malignant pleural mesothelioma. Both procedures have their pros and cons, and it is therefore of paramount importance that all cases be discussed as part of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis within a "pleural team" that should ideally include interventional pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons.
