Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pain-relieving effect and safety of compound aminopyrine phenacetin tablets, tramcontin (tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets) and dolantin in the early stage of autologous tendon reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee joint were compared. METHODS Retrospective analysis of postoperative pain and drug analgesia in 45 patients performed by the same group from November 2018 to February 2019. The random area group design was divided into two groups according to whether ACL rupture was combined with meniscal injury, group A was 24 patients with ACL reconstruction of knee joint and group B was 21 patients with ACL fracture combined with meniscus injury. The two groups were divided into three subgroups respectively according to the actual treatment of postoperative analgesic drugs received by the patients, including 4 cases of compound aminopyrine phenacetin tablets, 11 cases of oral tramcontin, 9 cases of intramuscular dolantin combined with phenergan in group A; 3 cases of compound aminopyrine phenacetin tablets, 10 cases of oral tramcontin, and 8 cases of intramuscular dolantin combined with phenergan in group B. When the early postoperative patients complain about pain and actively ask for analgesia. When the patients complained about pain after the operation and actively asked for analgesia, they were randomly given painkillers, tramcontin or dolantin combined with phenergan to relieve pain. Pain visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain relief and observe the occurrence of adverse reactions. RESULTS There were no significant dif-ferences in gender, age, body mass index, and time of hospital stay between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). In the patients who used tramcontin and dolantin combined with phenergan to relieve pain judging by VAS score before and 1 h after taking the drug, it was found that the pain situation of the patient was significantly relieved, and the difference before and after taking the drug had statistical significance (P < 0.05). Pairwise comparisons of the three drugs applied in the two groups showed significantly greater pain relief in the dolantin combined with phenergan group than in the remaining two drugs. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05). Dolantin was prone to nausea and vomiting, but the application of phenergan was also used to reduce side effects. In terms of adverse reactions, only 1 case of nausea occurred in the tramcontin group for simple ACL reconstruction, and none of the patients in the other groups showed serious complications and allergic reactions. CONCLUSION Whether in cruciate ligament reconstruction alone or combined with meniscus molding or suture, compound aminopyrine phenacetin tablets, tramcontin, dolantin combined with phenergan can effectively relieve pain. Among the three drugs, dolantin caused the largest pain relief. At the same time, the combination of phenergan effectively reduced the adverse reactions, such as vomiting and nausea, and increased the drug safety.

Abstract
AIM Rectal cancer is often treated surgically with an anterior resection (AR) or abdominoperineal excision (APE). However, for patients with locally advanced disease or local recurrence total pelvic exenteration (TPE) surgery can be performed. The magnitude of surgery varies, and little research has been done to consider how quality of life (QoL) may vary according to the extent of surgery. METHOD A search was conducted on MEDLINE and PubMed for papers published from 2010 to 2021. Inclusion criteria consisted of observational studies comparing adult populations with rectal cancer undergoing APE, AR or TPE, reporting QoL using validated tools. Risk of bias was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Outcomes of interest were global QoL, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation) and pain. RESULTS Seven studies including 1402 patients were analysed. QoL following TPE generally improves over time, back to baseline or better. AR and APE groups have similar patterns of improvement between baseline and 12 months after surgery, although scores declined in some studies at 12 months. TPE scores are lower overall, and the pattern of improvement differs, with patients tending to have worse nausea and vomiting symptoms. AR and APE patients tend to experience more lower GI symptoms. CONCLUSION It is not possible to draw firm conclusions based on the studies analysed. However, QoL returns to baseline following TPE, APE and AR. Preoperative QoL appears to be an indication of postoperative outcomes. Further observational studies are required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Same-day discharge (SDD) after bariatric surgery is increasingly being performed and is safe with careful patient selection. However, detecting early complications during the first postoperative days can be challenging. We developed a postoperative care protocol for these patients and aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in detecting complications and monitoring patient recovery. METHODS A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted with patients with who underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) with successful SDD. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the safety net that included simple remote monitoring with a pulsoximeter and thermometer, a phone consultation on postoperative day (POD) 1, and a physical consultation on POD 2-4. Furthermore, an analysis was performed on various factors including pain scores, painkiller usage, and incidences of nausea and vomiting on POD 1. RESULTS In this study, 373 consecutive patients were included, of whom 19 (5.1%) were readmitted until POD 4. Among these, 12 patients (3.2%) reached out to the hospital themselves, while 7 (1.9%) were readmitted after phone or physical consultations. Ten of the readmitted patients had tachycardia. On POD 1, the mean numeric rating scale was 4 ± 2, and 96.6% of the patients used acetaminophen, 35.5% used naproxen, and 9.7% used oxynorm. Of the patients, 13.9% experienced nausea and 6.7% reported vomiting. CONCLUSION A postoperative care protocol for SDD after RYGB, comprising simple remote monitoring along with a phone consultation on POD 1 and a physical checkup on POD 2-4, was effective in monitoring patient recovery and detecting all early complications.

Abstract
Background: Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations from abnormal budding of embryonic foregut and tracheobronchial tree. We present a case of bronchogenic cyst with severe back pain, epigastric distress and refractory nausea and vomiting. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old Hispanic female presented with a 3-week history of recurrent sharp interscapular pain radiating to epigastrium with refractory nausea and vomiting. She underwent cholecystectomy 2-years ago. Computed tomography (CT) abdomen at that time showed a subcarinal mass measuring 5.4 X 5.0 cm. Subsequent endoscopic ultrasound diagnosed it as a bronchogenic cyst. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided aspiration resulted in incomplete drainage and she was discharged after partial improvement. Current physical examination showed tachycardia and tachypnea with labs showing leukocytosis, elevated inflammatory markers, and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. CT chest showed an increased size of the bronchogenic cyst (9.64 X 7.7 cm) suggestive of possible partial cyst rupture or infected cyst. X-ray esophagram ruled out esophageal compression or contrast extravasation. Patient's symptoms were refractory to conservative management. The patient ultimately underwent right thoracotomy with cyst excision that resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: Bronchogenic cysts are the most common primary cysts of mediastinum with the prevalence of 6%. The most common symptoms are chest pain, dyspnea, cough, and stridor. Diagnosis is made by chest X-Ray and CT chest. Magnetic resonance imaging chest and EBUS are more sensitive and specific. Symptomatic cysts should be resected unless surgical risks are high. Asymptomatic cysts in younger patients should be removed due to low surgical risk and potential late complications. Watchful waiting has been recommended for asymptomatic adults or high-risk patients. This case presents mediastinal bronchogenic cyst as a cause of back, nausea and refractory vomiting. Immediate surgical excision in such cases should be attempted, which will lead to resolution of symptoms and avoidance of complications.

Abstract
Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is an extremely rare form of extranodal malignant lymphoma. The most common histological subtype of PPL is diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In rare cases, PPL can also present as follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and T cell lymphoma either of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (T/HRBCL) is an uncommon morphologic variant of DLBCL with aggressive clinical course, it is predominantly a nodal disease, but extranodal sites such as bone marrow, liver, and spleen can be involved. Pancreatic involvement of T/HRBCL was not presented before. Herein, we report a 48-year-old male who was hospitalized with complaints of jaundice, dark brown urine, pale stools, and nausea. The radiological evaluation revealed a pancreatic head mass and, following operative biopsy, the tumor was diagnosed as T/HRBCL. The patient achieved remission after six cycles of CHOP chemotherapy. Therefore, T/HRBCL can be treated similarly to the stage-matched DLBCL and both of them get equivalent outcomes after chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND "Candy cane" syndrome (a blind afferent Roux limb at the gastrojejunostomy) has been implicated as a cause of abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis after Roux-n-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) but remains poorly described. OBJECTIVES To report that "candy cane" syndrome is real and can be treated effectively with revisional bariatric surgery SETTING: All patients underwent "candy cane" resection at University Hospitals of Cleveland. METHODS All patients who underwent resection of the "candy cane" between January 2011 and July 2015 were included. All had preoperative workup to identify "candy cane" syndrome. Demographic data; pre-, peri-, and postoperative symptoms; data regarding hospitalization; and postoperative weight loss were assessed through retrospective chart review. Data were analyzed using Student's t test and χ2 analysis where appropriate. RESULTS Nineteen patients had resection of the "candy cane" (94% female, mean age 50±11 yr), within 3 to 11 years after initial RYGB. Primary presenting symptoms were epigastric abdominal pain (68%) and nausea/vomiting (32%), particularly with fibrous foods and meats. On upper gastrointestinal study and endoscopy, the afferent blind limb was the most direct outlet from the gastrojejunostomy. Only patients with these preoperative findings were deemed to have "candy cane" syndrome. Eighteen (94%) cases were completed laparoscopically. Length of the "candy cane" ranged from 3 to 22 cm. Median length of stay was 1 day. After resection, 18 (94%) patients had complete resolution of their symptoms (P<.001). Mean body mass index decreased from 33.9±6.1 kg/m2 preoperatively to 31.7±5.6 kg/m2 at 6 months (17.4% excess weight loss) and 30.5±6.9 kg/m2 at 1 year (25.7% excess weight loss). The average length of latest follow-up was 20.7 months. CONCLUSION "Candy cane" syndrome is a real phenomenon that can be managed safely with excellent outcomes with resection of the blind afferent limb. A thorough diagnostic workup is paramount to proper identification of this syndrome. Surgeons should minimize the size of the blind afferent loop left at the time of initial RYGB.

Abstract
The carotid sinus syndrome (CSS) is characterized by repetitive syncope due to prolonged heart rate slowing or a profound drop in systolic blood pressure. CSS is due to an inappropriate response of a hypersensitive carotid sinus following pressure on or stretching of the neck. We report on a patient with excessive gagging and vomiting elicited by pressure on the right side of the neck as an aberrant presentation of the carotid sinus syndrome. Her incapacitating symptoms were abolished by a surgical carotid denervation.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Nausea associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease is cured by laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF). DESIGN Prospective cohort study of unselected patients who underwent LNF from January 1, 1995, through March 31, 1999. Patients were followed up by a physician for 6 to 36 months. SETTING A large community teaching hospital. PATIENTS One hundred consecutive patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who underwent LNF; all patients were followed up. Patients were grouped according to the presence (group A, n = 33) or absence (group B, n = 67) of preoperative nausea. Interventions were LNF, esophageal manometry, 24-hour pH monitoring, and nuclear gastric emptying studies. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Resolution of symptoms after LNF. RESULTS Nausea was the most common atypical symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease, occurring in 33 patients (33%). There were no differences in esophageal manometry or 24-hour pH results between groups. There was a female preponderance in group A (55% vs 33%; P = .003). Patients in group A had a higher prevalence of preoperative dysphagia (P = .02). Patients with persistent postoperative nausea had a higher prevalence of cough (P = .003) and dysphagia (P = .009). The LNF was more effective in reducing heartburn (95% reduction) and regurgitation (95% reduction) than cough and dysphagia (60% reduction). There was a 79% reduction in the number of patients with nausea (33 to 7; P<.001). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is effective in eliminating nausea associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease and is not contraindicated in these patients.

Abstract
We report a patient with chronic nausea as the leading symptom of a primary carcinoma of the duodenum located at the flexura duodeno-jejunalis. The tumour was not reached at gastroscopy, which was performed twice. Since this area usually cannot be seen upon gastroscopy or upon small bowel enteroclysma according to Sellink, a double-contrast investigation of the upper gastrointestinal tract using a hypotonic agent should be performed when nausea persists although gastroscopy is normal.

Abstract
Gastroparesis is a relatively uncommon disorder which may develop in some patients with diabetes mellitus, or after gastric surgery. It is often manifested by intractable nausea and vomiting, leading to malnourishment and poor blood sugar control in the diabetic patient. We describe such a patient who was diabetic, and who also had a previous vagotomy and pyloroplasty. Currently acceptable pharmacologic treatment was unsuccessful. The patient's problems were successfully treated, however, by double-percutaneous fluoroscopically guided gastrostomy catheter insertions. One of the gastrostomy catheters was placed in the gastric fundus and linked externally to a second (feeding) catheter that had been placed previously at the duodenal-jejunal flexure. The patient has remained symptom free in the 14 months since the procedure. Other available treatments are discussed, and the authors recommend that this simple and safe method be considered in treating severe intractable gastroparesis.
