Purpose: To assess the frequencies and sites of surgical glove perforations in lower extremity fracture surgery and hip joint replacement (HJR) surgery. Additionally, we also studied the usefulness of an indicator system glove. Materials and Methods: We assessed surgical glove perforations in 30 cases of lower extremity fracture surgery and 18 cases of HJR surgery conducted by one right handed 1st operator from April 2013 to July 2013. We assessed frequencies and sites of perforation in 152 gloves; 95 used in lower extremity fracture surgery and 57 used in HJR surgery. We studied the perforation rates and sites according to participants and operation types. Using the Biogel indicator system glove, which is well known as a fast indicator of glove perforation, we were also able to assess the time difference between operative participant detection of perforation and inspector nurse detection while observing in the operative field. Results: There were 18 of 30 cases in lower extremity fracture surgeries and 12 of 18 cases in HJR surgeries which had more than one surgical glove perforation event. Of all 152 gloves used, perforation occurred in 15 of 57 gloves (26.3%) in HJR surgery and 23 of 95 gloves (24.2%) in lower extremity fracture surgery. Perforation occurred more frequently in operators than assistant doctors or scrub nurses. The most frequent perforation site was the second digit of the left hand. On average, the time difference between operative participant notice of perforation and inspector nurse notice of perforation was 20.6 seconds. Conclusion: The perforation of surgical gloves happened in approximately one out of every four persons. Importantly, we noted a 37.0% prevalence of glove perforation in 1st operators. Considering that glove perforation is a critical factor responsible for intra-operative infection, surgeons must be conscious of the risk of surgical glove perforation and use double gloving regularly. Furthermore, indicator double gloving isrecommended for fast detection of outer glove perforation.

Purpose: The present study was performed to assess the outcomes in patients with colonic perforation and to determine the prognostic factors for mortality. Methods: The cases of 42 patients who underwent surgery for colonic perforation between March 1999 and September 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, presence of preoperative shock, duration of symptoms, cause of perforation, location of perforation, degree of peritonitis, and the Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) score were analyzed for their association with early outcome by using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Diverticulitis (46%, 19 patients) and colorectal cancer (36%, 15 patients) were the most common causes of noniatrogenic colonic perforation, and the sigmoid colon was the most common site of perforation (60%, 25 patients). The postoperative mortality was 21.4% (9 patients). The mortality in patients with preoperative shock, with a MPI score of more than 25, and with Hinchey stage III or IV peritonitis were 70.0%, 57.1%, and 53.3%, respectively (P<0.001). No statistical difference was observed in postoperative mortality with regard to age, sex, ASA classification, duration of symptoms, cause of perforation, and location of perforation. According to the multivariate analysis, preoperative shock proved to be the only significant prognostic factor for mortality (P=0.027) (odds ratio: 19.8, 95% confidence interval: 1.4-276.9). Conclusion: Preoperative shock, a MPI score of more than 25, and Hinchey stage III or IV peritonitis were associated with high postoperative mortality in patients with colonic perforation. Especially, more intensive management and interest are required for patient s with preoperative shock due to colonic perforation.

Purpose: The incidence of complications after colonoscopy is very low. The complications after colonoscopy that are of clinical concern are bleeding and perforation. The present study was conducted to determine the clinical outcomes and the risk factors of a colostomy or a colectomy after colonoscopic colon perforation. Methods: From March 2009 to December 2012, the records of all patients who were treated for colorectal perforation after colonoscopy were reviewed retrospectively. The following parameters were evaluated: age, sex, purpose of colonoscopy, management of the colonic perforation, and interval from colonoscopy to the diagnosis of a colonic perforation. A retrospective analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with major surgery for the treatment of a colon perforation after colonoscopy. Results: A total 27 patients were included in the present study. The mean age was 62 years, and 16 were males. The purpose of colonoscopy was diagnostic in 18 patients. The most common perforation site was the sigmoid colon. Colonic perforation was diagnosed during colonoscopy in 14 patients, just after colonoscopy in 5 patients, and 24 hours or more after colonoscopy in 8 patients. For the treatment of colonic perforation, endoscopic clipping was performed in 3 patients, primary closure in 15 patients, colon resection in 2 patients, Hartmann’s procedures in 4 patients, and diverting colostomy in 3 patients. If the diagnosis of perforation after colonoscopy was delayed for more than 24 hours, the need for major treatment was increased significantly. Conclusion: Although a colonic perforation after colonoscopy is rare, if the morbidity and the mortality associated with the colonic perforation are to be reduced, prompt diagnosis and management are very important.

Background/Aims: Delayed perforation is a rare but serious adverse event of gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical features and appropriate management strategy of patients with delayed perforation. Methods: Among 11,531 patients who underwent gastric ESD, the clinical features and outcomes of patients who experienced delayed perforation were retrospectively reviewed and compared with those of the control group. Results: Delayed perforation occurred in 15 of 11,531 patients (0.13%). The patients with delayed perforation were significantly older than those without delayed perforation (p=0.027). The median time to diagnosis of delayed perforation was 28.8 hours (range, 14 to 71 hours). All 15 patients with delayed perforation complained of severe abdominal pain after gastric ESD and underwent subsequent chest X-rays (CXRs) for evaluation. In subsequent CXR, free air was found in 12 patients (80%). For three (20%) patients without free air in CXR, delayed perforation was finally diagnosed by computed tomography. Leukocytosis was significantly less frequent in the patients without free air in CXR (p=0.022). A perforation hole smaller than 1 cm in size was more frequently observed in the six patients who underwent successful non-surgical treatments than in the nine patients who underwent surgery (p<0.001). There was no mortality related to delayed perforation. Conclusions: One-fifth of the patients with delayed perforation did not show free air in CXR and exhibited less leukocytosis than those with free air. Non-surgical treatments including endoscopic closure might be considered as an initial treatment modality for delayed perforation smaller than 1 cm.

비중격 수술시 하비갑개 점막과 Fibrin Glue를 이용한 비중격 천공의 예방

김보형,이형준,최석찬,안정윤,강성호,임대준 대한비과학회 2009 Journal of rhinology Vol.16 No.2

Background and Objectives:As septal surgery is being performed more and more often, the incidence of septal perforation as a complication arising from the surgery has also increased. In septal surgery, if corresponding mucoperichondrial tears occurred on both sides, autologous cartilage is usually placed between the injured mucopercondrium. However, septal perforation is sometimes found after septal surgery even after this effort. The aims of this study were to introduce a new technique for the prevention of septal perforation during septal surgery using inferior turbinate mucosa and fibrin glue and to determine its usefullness by evaluating the treatment outcome. Materials and Methods:Between June 2005 and May 2007, 358 cases of septal surgery were performed. Bilateral mucoperichondrial tears on corresponding areas occurred in 26 cases. In Group 1 (15 cases), autologous cartilage was inserted between injured mucoperichondrium. In Group 2 (11 cases), autologous cartilage was inserted and then was repaired using fibrin glue and inferior turbinate mucosa. The authors compared the perforation rate between the two groups. Results:In Group 1, septal perforation occurred in 7 of 15 patients (46.7%) and in Group 2, 1 of 11 patients (9.0%) had perforation. Perforation rates were significantly lower in Group 2. Conclusion:The technique of using fibrin glue and inferior turbinate mucosa may be an easy, effective method for the prevention of septal perforation during septal surgery.

폐쇄 및 천공을 동반한 대장암 응급 수술 후 합병증과 사망률 발생 위험인자 분석

강동백,신창열,이정균,박원철 대한대장항문학회 2009 Annals of Coloproctolgy Vol.25 No.3

Purpose: Despite increased effort for the detection of early colorectal cancer, advanced disease presenting as obstruction or perforation still accounts for 8 to 29% and 3-8% of all colorectal cancers, respectively. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, the surgical methods, the complications, and the risk factors of obstructive or perforated colorectal cancer that may influence the outcome. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in 60 patients with colorectal cancer, who underwent surgery due to obstruction or perforation from March 2000 to December 2005. The colorectal cancers were considered to be complicated when clinical signs of peritonitis were observed, the radiologic characteristics of the tumor did not permit preoperative mechanical bowel preparation, or perforation existed, when these observations were confirmed by operative findings. The following data were analyzed: clinical characteristics, surgical methods, complications, and risk factors. Results: Thirty-three patients (55%) had obstruction, and 27 patients (45%) had perforation. Overall, major complications occurred in 33.3% and 48.5%, respectively. The mortality rates were 6.1% and 14.8%, respectively. Risk factors for major complication were age, perforation, and transfusion whereas those for mortality were perforation and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class. Conclusion: The risk factors of complication were old age, transfusion, and perforation and those for mortality was perforation and ASA class. Earlier diagnosis and prompt, intensive, careful management should be attempted in these high-risk patients.

Perforation Effect on the Bending Behaviour of Cold-Formed Steel Hat-Purlin Section

Fatimah De’nan,Kok Keong Choong,Jin Ying Ling,Nor Salwani Hashim 한국강구조학회 2022 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.22 No.1

Many structural members, for example, cold-formed steel members, hot-rolled steel members, and composite beams were extensively used in steel construction due to economic development in cities building design. This was to allow fl exible installation of ductwork, piping and other systems. Substantial research has been performed on Channel and Zee cold-formed steel sections, but the papers on Hat section steel purlins turned out to be few only, especially Hat-purlin with perforations. Hence, numerical study on cold-formed Hat section steel purlin with perforation was carried out to investigate the eff ect of perforation to bending behaviour of such sections. Finite element method using LUSAS software was chosen to carry out the research study. Five diff erent perforation shapes were selected, which were circle, diamond, C-hexagon, square and elongated circle. Perforation depth was fi xed at 0.5D2, where D2 is the inclined web depth of the section. The results showed that perforated section had lower bending moment than that of the section without perforation, with a percentage diff erence of not more than 4%. Most of the perforated sections had similar bending characteristic despite of the diff erence in perforation shapes, where the yield moment diff erence was less than 2%. Critical opening length played a crucial role in aff ecting the bending behaviour of section. Furthermore, the location of perforation also infl uenced the bending behaviour of Hat-purlin. Regardless of perforation spacing, the perforated sections with equal number of perforations behaved similar elastic characteristic before yielding. Section with diamond perforation had higher bending moment than other perforated section whereas section with elongated circle perforation had the lowest bending moment. The presence of perforations gives minor eff ect on the bending behaviour of cold-formed steel Hat-purlin.

Do-bin Lee,Seonhui Shin,양춘석 영남대학교 의과대학 2022 Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine Vol.39 No.2

Background: Despite advances in surgery and intensive perioperative care, fecal peritonitis secondary to colonic perforation is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study was performed to review the outcomes of patients who underwent colonic perforation surgery and to evaluate the prognostic factors associated with mortality. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 224 consecutive patients who underwent emergency colonic perforation surgery between January 2008 and May 2019. We divided the patients into survivor and non-survivor groups and compared their surgical outcomes. Results: The most common cause of colon perforation was malignancy in 54 patients (24.1%), followed by iatrogenic perforation in 41 (18.3%), stercoral perforation in 39 (17.4%), and diverticulitis in 37 (16.5%). The sigmoid colon (n=124, 55.4%) was the most common location of perforation, followed by the ascending colon, rectum, and cecum. Forty-five patients (20.1%) died within 1 month after surgery. Comparing the 179 survivors with the 45 non-survivors, the patient characteristics associated with mortality were advanced age, low systolic blood pressure, tachycardia, organ failure, high C-reactive protein, high creatinine, prolonged prothrombin time, and high lactate level. The presence of free or feculent fluid, diffuse peritonitis, and right-sided perforation were associated with mortality. In multivariate analysis, advanced age, organ failure, right-sided perforation, and diffuse peritonitis independently predicted mortality within 1 month after surgery. Conclusion: Age and organ failure were prognostic factors for mortality associated with colon perforation. Furthermore, right-sided perforation and diffuse peritonitis demonstrated a significant association with patient mortality.

목 적 : 장중첩증의 진단 및 치료에 효과적인 방법인 공기 주입 정복술을 시행하는 도중 발생한 장천공에 대한 국내의 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 저자들은 이에 대한 위험인자 및 수술 합병증, 예후 등에 대하여 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1990년 1월부터 2001년 12월까지 가천의대 길병원 소아과에 장중첩증으로 입원하였던 환아 중 공기 주입 정복술을 시행하는 도중 장천공이 발생하였던 12명의 환아를 대상으로 병록지를 통하여 성별 및 연령 분포, 주요 임상 증상, 증상 발현후 내원까지의 경과 시간, 장중첩증의 유형, 장중첩증의 천공 부위와 수술소견, 병리소견 등을 후향적으로 조사하여 분석하였다. 결 과 : 1) 공기 주입 정복술을 시행하였던 657명의 환아 중에서 596명이 성공적으로 치료되어 정복율은 90.7%였고, 장천공은 모두 12례에서 발생하여 천공율은 1.83%였다. 공기 주입 정복술 도중 천공된 환아들 중 남아는 11명(91.7%), 여아는 1명(8.3%)이었으며, 평균연령은 $5.3{\pm}2.7$개월이었다. 2) 천공된 장중첩증의 내원 당시 임상 증상을 살펴볼 때 구토 는 11명(91.7%), 주기적 보챔이 9명(75.0%), 혈변은 9명(75.0%)에서 발생하였고, 복부종괴는 5명(41.7%)에서 촉진되었다. 천공된 장중첩증 환아의 내원까지의 평균 경과 시간은 $44.7{\pm}23.7$시간이었다. 3) 천공된 장중첩증의 유형은 상대적으로 회장맹장(ileocecal) 형과 회장회장결장(ileoileocolic)형이 많았다. 수술로 확인된 장천공 부위는 상행 결장이 6명(50%), 횡횡 결장이 6명(50%)으로 모두 중첩된 장의 근위부에 발생하였고, 단발성 천공이 10명(83.3%)으로 대다수를 차지하였다. 4) 장천공이 발생한 부위의 병리 조직 소견은 대부분에서 장천공 주변부위의 점막이 출혈성 괴사와 장막열상 소견을 보였다. 천공된 장중첩증의 합병증으로는 긴장성 기복이 7례(58.3%)에서 발생하여 즉각적인 복부 감압이 필요하였고, 1례에서는 수술 18개월 후 유착성 장 폐쇄(adhesive band)가 발생하였다. 결 론 : 공기 주입 정복술 시행도중 장천공의 발생은 6개월이하에서 방사선 소견상 소장 폐색 증상이 있는 경우에 자주 발생하며, 증상 발현 시간이 오래될수록, 공기 주입 압력이 높을수록 잘 생기므로 이런 경우 정복시 환아에 대한 세심한 관찰과 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Purpose : Although air enema reduction has been known as a good method of diagnosis and treatment of intussusception, it could develop colon perforation. However, there have been few studies about this complication. So we analyzed the risk factors of colon perforation during air enema reduction in patients with intussusception. Methods : We reviewed the charts of 12 colon perforation patients during air enema reduction of intussusception, who were admitted to Gil Medical Center from Jan. 1990 to Dec. 2001. Their age, sex, major symptoms, length of time till hospital visit, types of intussusception, operative findings and pathologic reports were reviewed. Results : Among 657 cases, 596 patients(90.7%) were successfully treated, but 12 patients(1.83%) failed in air enema reduction and had colon perforation. In patients with colon perforation the male to female ratio was 11 : 1, and average age was 5.3 months. The most common symptom at the time of hospital visit was vomiting(91.7%). Cyclic irritability(75.0%), bloody stool(75.0%) and abdominal mass(41.7%) were also noted. The average length of time between symptom onset and hospital visit was 44.7 hours. Types of intussusception were predominantly ileocolic, ileocecal, and ileoileocolic. The site of perforation was most commonly found at the proximal part of intussusception including ascending colon(50%) and transverse colon(50%). Most cases were uncomplicated, and had a single perforation. Pathologic reports showed hemorrhagic necrosis and mesenteric laceration at the site of colon perforation. Complications of colon perforation were tension pneumoperitonium(58.3%), requiring immediate decompression. Conclusion : The chance of colon perforation during air enema reduction increases in cases with small bowel obstruction on simple abdominal x-ray of a patient younger than 6 months, delay in time till hospital visit and higher air pressure during reduction. Therefore more careful investigation is needed in these cases.
