Tech Update 微无创技术新进展
A meta-analysis and comparison of thermal ablative techniques
热消融技术的Meta分析与对比

An extended literature search was performed on Pubmed database by using the Mesh terms “ablation techniques” and “leiomyoma” or “uterine fibroid” or “symptomatic uterine fibroid”. Literature search was completed with the following terms: “interventional radiology," "percutaneous thermal ablation,”"percutaneous microwave ablation” or “MWA,” “radiofrequency” or “RF,” and “high-intensity focused ultrasound” and “HIFU.” 93 studies which fulfilled the inclusion criteria were finally analyzed.
通过Pubmed数据库进行大范围的文献检索,检索关键词为" ablation techniques " (消融技术)、" leiomyoma " (平滑肌瘤)、" uterine fibroid " (子宫肌瘤)或 " symptomatic uterine fibroid " (有症状的子宫肌瘤),以及" interventional radiology " (介入放射)、" percutaneous thermal ablation " (经皮热消融)、" percutaneous microwave ablation " 或 MWA (经皮微波消融)、" radiofrequency "或 RF (射频)、" high-intensity focused ultrasound "或 HIFU (高强度聚焦超声)。最终筛选出93项满足入选标准的研究,并对这些文章进行了分析。

Among the minimally invasive techniques, RF myolysis is currently considered a valid alternative for the treatment of UFs. It works delivering RF energy to myomas under US guidance in an attempt to destroy them directly through coagulative necrosis consequent to the oscillation and friction of water molecules. The ablation route can be laparoscopic, transvaginal, or transcervical, aiming to reduce the volume of the target fibroids with subsequent symptom relief.
目前,射频消融被认为是治疗子宫肌瘤的替代方式之一。其原理为在超声影像的引导下将射频能量递送至肌瘤,在水分子的震动和摩擦作用下直接引起肌瘤的凝固性坏死,从而达到缩小靶肌瘤并缓解症状的目的。消融路径可经腹腔镜、经阴道或经宫颈。

Percutaneous MWA is capable of improving fibroid-related symptoms by reducing the volume of lesions, which offers numerous advantages when compared to other ablation techniques. Large volumes of necrosis (up to 6 cm in diameter) can be achieved introducing a single antenna via a single percutaneous access, thus reducing the risk of injury to the abdominal organs which may result from multiple insertions.
经皮微波消融可通过缩小病变组织达到缓解肌瘤相关症状的目的,与其他消融技术相比有许多优势。单根微波治疗针经皮穿刺可实现直径最大6 cm 的病灶坏死,降低了多孔穿刺损伤腹部器官的风险。

Several authors have evaluated the clinical utility of a microbubble US contrast agent (SonoVue) in the US-guided HIFU ablation. In a andomized control trial, the investigators found that SonoVue could be safely used to enhance the ablative effects of HIFU in the treatment for uterine fibroids, increasing the rate of massive gray-scale changes (P = 0.002) and shortening the sonication time (P = 0.001). This valuable effect was more remarkable when HIFU ablation started sooner after contrast media administration.
多项研究对超声造影剂微泡( SonoVue )在超声引导的HIFU消融中的临床使用进行了评估。在一项随机对照试验中,研究人员发现 SonoVue 可安全用于提高 HIFU 治疗子宫肌瘤的消融效果,增强团块灰度变化的范围(P = 0.002)并缩短辐照时间(P = 0.001)。使用造影剂后即刻开始HIFU消融,消融效果更明显。

US-guided intralesional ethanol injection combined with HIFU ablation required less treatment time and a lower dose than HIFU alone, reduced the periprocedural pain and adverse events commonly experienced by patients (P < 0.05).
与单独采用 HIFU 消融相比,超声引导的病灶内酒精注射联合 HIFU 消融所需的治疗时间更短、治疗剂量更低,常见围手术期疼痛以及副反应更少(P < 0.05)。

An increasing number of studies has demonstrated that HIFU ablation is a safe, “needle free,” minimally invasive therapeutic strategy for uterine fibroids, and affords speedy recovery. Despite these merits, HIFU ablation is less effective or even infeasible for certain conditions because of several limitations. Some of these factors can be surmounted, for instance, bowel loop interposition can be overcome by diverse manipulation techniques, whereas other limits related to tissue properties resistive to HIFU heating are more difficult to bypass.
越来越多的研究表明, HIFU 消融是治疗子宫肌瘤的一种安全、无需穿刺的微创方式,并且术后恢复快。但在特定条件限制下, HIFU 消融效果不佳甚至不可行。虽然其中一些因素可以克服,例如,肠道干扰可通过多种操作技巧避免,但其他因为组织特性对 HIFU 热量不敏感的情况就较难克服。

Therefore, an accurate pretreatment selection is crucial to reduce the number of unsatisfactory ineffective ablations. MR features of the fibroid to be treated by HIFU are relevant to predict the ablation efficacy; notably, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images has been identified as the most relevant predictor of poor efficacy of HIFU. Similarly, DCE-MRI quantitative parameters, namely Ktrans, BV, and BF were deemed to be prognostic determinant of HIFU efficacy, being negatively correlated with the immediate NPV ratio in symptomatic uterine fibroids. Indeed, in order to achieve substantial symptom relief, the NPV should be as large as safely achievable. Partially ablated fibroids tend to regrow, and this may explain the relatively high re-intervention rate reported in studies using a restricted protocol.
因此, HIFU 术前准确筛选患者对降低无效消融至关重要。待治疗肌瘤的 MR 影像特点与预测消融效果有关,尤其是T2高信号的肌瘤,其消融效果最差;类似的,动态增强 MRI 定量参数,即 Ktrans 、 BV 和 BF 可作为预测 HIFU 疗效的决定性参数,与有症状的子宫肌瘤消融后即刻非灌注率( NPV )呈负相关。的确,为了实现显著的症状缓解,应在安全治疗的前提下尽可能提高消融率。非完全消融的子宫肌瘤容易再生长,这可能就解释了为什么有些使用了限制方案的研究当中再干预率相对较高。

Feasibility study of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of hydatid cysts of the liver
高强度聚焦超声( HIFU )治疗肝包虫病的可行性研究

This study evaluates the feasibility of using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of hydatid cysts of the liver. HIFU ablation was carried out in 62 patients with echinococcosis of the liver. The mean age of patients was 40.76 ± 14.84 (range: 17–72 years). The effectiveness of the treatment was monitored in real-time by changes in the gray-scale, and by morphological studies, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound.
这项研究评估了使用高强度聚焦超声( HIFU )治疗肝包虫囊肿的可行性。 HIFU 消融术治疗了62例肝包虫病患者。患者的平均年龄为40.76±14.84(范围:17-72岁)。通过灰度变化、形态研究、计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和超声实时监控治疗的有效性。

Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment in real time were outlined. Cytomorphological picture of destructive changes of parasitic elements was presented as well. Loss of embryonic elements of the parasite was observed at the subcellular level after HIFU ablation and underlines the effectiveness of HIFU.
这项研究概述了实时评估治疗效果的标准,也展示了寄生元素破坏性变化的细胞形态学图像。 HIFU 消融后,在亚细胞水平上观察到寄生虫胚胎成分出现损失,突出了 HIFU 的有效性。

In conclusion, HIFU ablation is an effective therapy for hydatid disease of liver. It can effectively destroy protoscolexes as well as all structures of cyst germinal layer, which holds all the vital functions of echinococcus. The crucial criterion for HIFU treatment effectiveness is the confirmation of embryonic death of the parasite elements at the subcellular level. In the case of hepatic hydatid, HIFU treatment can be applied as first-line therapy, or as preoperative preparation adjuvant for traditional echinococcectomy to preserve seeding.
总而言之, HIFU 消融术是治疗肝包虫病的有效方法。它可以有效破坏原头蚴以及囊肿生发层的所有结构,而后者承载着棘球幼虫的所有重要功能。 HIFU治疗有效性的关键标准是在亚细胞水平上确认寄生虫元素的胚胎死亡。对于肝包虫,HIFU治疗可用作首选治疗方式,或作为传统棘球蚴病切除术的术前准备辅助治疗,以防止播散。

International Guidelines on Gynaecological Endoscopy  国际妇科腔镜指南
ESGE Recommendations on Gynaecological Laparoscopic Surgery during COVID-19 outbreak
欧洲妇科内镜学会( ESGE )关于新冠肺炎大流行期间妇科腹腔镜手术的建议


In order to guide ESGE members and other colleagues organise their priorities and minimise the risk to themselves and their patients, the ESGE Executive Board has released the following recommendations on gynaecological laparoscopic surgery during COVID-19 outbreak.
为了指导 ESGE 会员和其他医学同仁组织优先事项并最大程度地降低自身和患者的感染风险, ESGE 执行委员会针对新冠肺炎大流行期间的妇科腹腔镜手术发布了以下建议。

During the time of crisis the healthcare providers need to be able to concentrate their resources on the care of people severely affected by the coronavirus, hence elective operations for benign conditions should not be carried out during the pandemic. When possible, alternative medical treatment approaches should be considered to minimise suffering and keep women at home, away from hospitals.
在新冠肺炎大流行期间,医护人员须将医疗资源集中在严重感染冠状病毒的患者护理上,因此,在大流行期间不应开展良性疾病的择期手术。应尽可能考虑采用其他治疗方式,尽最大程度地减少痛苦,并使妇女患者避免外出、远离医院。

Depending on the availability and priorities of the healthcare system, it would be useful to screen patients for corona virus infection before planned surgical treatment, when possible.
根据医疗保健系统的可用性和优先事项,尽可能在已计划的手术之前对患者进行冠状病毒感染筛查,将很有用。

In suspected or documented Covid-19 positive patients, surgery should be postponed until full recovery, if there is no immediate life threatening situation. Consideration should be given to non-surgical alternatives when possible. If this is not possible, surgery must be performed with full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worn by the entire theatre staff to reduce the risk of transmission.
对于疑似或确诊并记录在案的新冠病毒阳性患者,如果目前没有任何危及生命的情况,应将手术推迟至其完全康复。应尽可能考虑非手术替代方案。如果无法做到这一点,则整个手术室的工作人员必须穿着完整的个人防护设备( PPE )方可进行手术,以降低传播风险。

Hospitals should have arrangements in place to be able to look after women with gynaecological emergencies. Hospitals should also be able to care for women with possible gynaecological cancer and treat those who have been diagnosed with gynaecological cancer. Surgery for gynaecological cancer should continue, unless alternative interim options are possible until the end of the outbreak.
医院应该安排适当区域来照顾妇科紧急情况的妇女,还应向可能患有妇科癌症的妇女给予照顾,并治疗那些已被确诊为妇癌患者的妇女。除非在新冠疫情结束之前有其他可替代的过渡方案,否则妇癌手术应继续进行。

Laparoscopic surgery for gynaecological emergencies and cancer would be beneficial for the health system by reducing hospital stay, compared to open surgery. However, this should be weighed against possible disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery during the outbreak.
对于妇科急诊和癌症,腹腔镜手术的住院时间短于开腹手术,因此,可减轻医疗系统负担。然而,在新冠病毒大流行期间,需要根据患者情况权衡腹腔镜手术的利弊。
