Postoperative wound care and pain management are crucial components of the postoperative recovery process. This study aims to evaluate whether the analgesic effects of the ibuprofen soft and flexible absorbent foam dressing are superior to those of traditional gauze following colorectal surgery. Data pertaining to patients who underwent colorectal surgery between May 2021 and January 2022 were extracted from the electronic medical records database archive of a single institution. The ibuprofen soft and flexible absorbent foam dressing was applied to 62 patients for postoperative wound care, while gauze was used for 78 patients. Primary outcome measurements included the count of dressings, visual analog scale pain scores, analgesic dosage, complications, and length of hospitalization. The mean pain score on the 5th day postoperation was significantly lower for the ibuprofen group (2.03 ± 1.55) than for the control group (2.63 ± 1.72, p = 0.035). The mean dosage (mg) of parecoxib on the 3rd day postoperation was significantly lower for the ibuprofen group (2.58 ± 12.27) than for the control group (10.26 ± 21.80, p = 0.01). The cumulative number of dressing changes during the 1st week postoperation was significantly lower for the ibuprofen group (mean ± standard deviation; 3.00 ± 0.98) than for the control group (7.55 ± 2.68, p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in the complication rate or length of hospitalization between the groups. The ibuprofen soft and flexible absorbent foam dressing can either enhance the analgesic effect during postoperative recovery or reduce the cost and dressing time associated with postoperative wound care.

A 51-year-old woman was admitted due to 3rd degree AV block. Serial coronary angiogram revealed right coronary artery (RCA) spasm, which is refractory to drug eluting stents and NTG infusion. She underwent bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (BCSD) with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and was discharged on day 26 asymptomatically. BCSD could be used for patients with symptomatic coronary artery spasm.

ABSTRACT Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using two-dimensional (2-D) systems has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for obesity. Three-dimensional (3-D) systems have recently been introduced in the general field. We hypothesized that using a 3-D system offers more benefits than using 2-D laparoscopy in sleeve gastrectomy. Methods Patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) without any other surgeries between January 1st, 2017, and February 28th, 2019, were included. Characteristic factors and outcomes were reviewed and compared between the groups using the 2-D system and the 3-D system, including sex, age, length of stay (LOS), body mass index (BMI), operative time, blood loss, morbidity, total body weight loss, and excess weight loss. Results Seventy-five patients underwent LSG and were included in the study. Among them, forty-two patients used the 3-D system, while thirty-three patients used the 2-D system. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of basic characteristics, including age, sex, and BMI. The morbidity rate did not differ, but the 3-D group experienced less blood loss (25.12 ml vs. 47.27 ml; p = 0.001) and shorter operative times (105.93 ± 30.645 mins vs. 128.94 ± 28.566 mins; p = 0.001) compared to the 2-D group (25.12 ml vs. 47.27 ml; p = 0.001). Weight loss at 6 months was similar between the two groups. Conclusion In conclusion, 3-D LSG shows promise in reducing both blood loss and operative time. Nevertheless, further prospective trials are essential to definitively establish its efficacy.
背景使用二维(2-D)系统的腹腔镜袖胃切除术已被证明是一种安全有效的治疗肥胖的方法。三维(3-D)系统最近被引入到一般领域。我们假设使用三维系统比使用二维腹腔镜在袖式胃切除术中提供更多的好处。方法选取2017年1月1日至2019年2月28日期间行腹腔镜袖胃切除术(LSG)且未进行其他手术的患者。对使用二维系统和三维系统的两组患者的特征因素和结果进行回顾和比较，包括性别、年龄、住院时间(LOS)、体重指数(BMI)、手术时间、出血量、发病率、总体重减轻和超重减轻。结果75例患者行LSG，纳入研究。其中使用3-D系统的患者42例，使用2-D系统的患者33例。两组在基本特征(包括年龄、性别和BMI)方面没有显著差异。发病率无差异，但3d组出血量较少(25.12 ml vs 47.27 ml;P = 0.001)和较短的手术时间(105.93±30.645 min vs 128.94±28.566 min;p = 0.001)，与2d组相比(25.12 ml vs 47.27 ml;P = 0.001)。6个月后，两组的体重下降情况相似。结论三维LSG在减少出血量和缩短手术时间方面具有良好的应用前景。然而，进一步的前瞻性试验对于确定其有效性是必要的。

Abstract In Taiwan, most surgical services were mainly provided by Japanese or Western surgeons before World War II. Tsuchiya Kunita first reported surgical treatment of gallstone diseases in 1915 in Taiwan. After World War II, experienced Japanese surgeons returned to Japan, and well-trained surgeons moved to Taiwan from different hospitals in Mainland China after 1949. In 1954, Liao YL had reported surgical gallstone diseases treated by cholecytostomy, cholecystectomy, and cholecysto-gastrostomy or cholecysto-duodenostomy from National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). By using of operative cholangiography, diagnosis and removal of intrahepatic stones could be done through choledochostomy reported first by Lee HC from National Defense Medical Center in 1966 and 1968. Wei TC from NTUH reported the first left hepatectomy for treating hepatolithiasis on one patient among his series in 1971. Treatments of hepatolithiasis were well analyzed by Wen CC and Lee HC from Triservice General Hospital and Veterans General Hospital in 1972. Hwang MH were the first to use choledochofiberscope for removing retained stones since 1974 reported from Show Chwan Memorial Hospital in 1978. The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) was performed by Huang CH from Taipei Cathay General Hospital in 1990 in Taiwan. Nowadays, Taiwan hepatobiliary surgeons were extensively using either laparoscopic or robotic surgery for treatment of hepatobiliary diseases. In conclusion, we should never forget the great contributions from many clinics in rural villages hosted by Christian or Catholicism organizations in Taiwan hundred years ago. We should express our appreciations to the history of the evolutions of biliary surgical skills. In Taiwan, a great surgeon today is always standing on the shoulders of our ancient giants, our surgical teachers.
