Objective To explore the methods, clinical effects, and application value of laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization. Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension who performed laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization between july 2009 and july 2012 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectivly. Results In 23 cases, 2 cases were converted laparotomy due to bleeding, 21 cases were successfully performed laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization. The operative time was 230-380 minutes (average 290 minutes). The intraoperative blood loss was 300-1 500 mL (average 620 mL). The postoperative fasting time was 1-3 days (average 2 days). The postoperative hospital stay was 8-14 days (average 10 days). Conclusion Laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization is a feasible, effective, and safe procedure as well as minimally invasive hence is applicable for patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of the tubal reconstruction after laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation by comparing with simple laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation. MethodsBetween May 2007 and May 2010, 63 patients with tubal pregnancy underwent laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation and tubal reconstruction in 30 cases (trial group) or simple laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation in 33 cases (control group). There was no significant difference in age, pregnancy time, and position between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The tube patency test and hysterosalpingography (HSG) were carried out to evaluate the efficacy. ResultsThe operation was successfully completed in 29 cases of trial group; 1 case had too severe adhesion to receive re-anastomosis and was excluded. The tube patency test showed that the tube was patency in 26 cases of trial group and in 2 cases of control group during operation, showing significant difference (Z=5.86, P=0.00); it was patency in 25 cases of trial group and in 26 cases of control group at 1 month after operation, showing no significant difference (Z=0.48, P=0.63). HSG examination showed tube was patency in 25 cases of trial group and in 2 cases of control group at 2 months after operation, showing significant difference (Z=5.35, P=0.00). After 24 months, intrauterine pregnancy of trial group (n=25, 86.20%) was significantly higher than that of control group (n=19, 57.58%) (χ2=7.72, P=0.01). ConclusionThe reconstruction after laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation can significantly increase the intrauterine pregnancy rate, and it is better than simple laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation.
Objective To explore the variation about the application of fast-track surgery and laparoscopy in treatment for colorectal cancer in recent years. To investigate the probability of combining protocols of the two for treatment for colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical and basic literatures of related researches about colorectal treatment of laparoscopy and fast-track surgery were collected and reviewed. Results Compared with the traditional treatment modalities, both of fast-track surgery and laparoscopy used for the treatment of colorectal cancer have better clinical effects. Conclusions Fast-track surgery and laparoscopic techniques used for the treatment of colorectal cancer are feasible, but the combination of the two should be confirmed by further randomized controlled trials.
Objective To explore the effect of laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy (Hill) on the treatment for acute perforating duodenal ulcer. Methods In 19 patients with acute perforating duodenal ulcers, laparoscopic repair of the perforation, laparoscopic freeing of the vagus, cutting off of posterior vagal trunk, and highly selective resection of anterior vagal trunk were performed. Results In all 19 cases the operation was successful. No patient was converted into open highly selective vagotomy. Ulcer symptoms of 17 patients disappeared after operation, and gastroscopy in follow up after 6 months showed that the ulcers had healed. The postoperative ulcer symptoms of 2 patients were markedly relieved and were easily controlled by medication. Conclusion The treatment of acute perforating duodenal ulcer by laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy (Hill) has the advantages of minor trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, and good results, it is a good procedure for the treatment of perforating duodenal ulcer.
With the extensive application of laparoscopy in clinical surgery, the advantages of laparoscopic surgery such as less intraoperative bleeding, small and beautiful incision, and rapid postoperative recovery become increasingly prominent. However, prolonged use of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum or high CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure during laparoscopic surgery may cause subcutaneous emphysema and hypercapnia, in severe cases which may affect the quality of recovery and prognosis of patients. The use of a protective ventilation strategy during laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, a mechanical ventilation model of controlled hyperventilation, can reduce or avoid the effects of hypercapnia caused by prolonged CO2 pneumoperitoneum or high CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure. This article reviews the effects of laparoscopic CO2 pneumoperitoneum on patients, the application of controlled hyperventilation in laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia and the effects of controlled hyperventilation on patients. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for the safe and effective application of controlled hyperventilation in laparoscopic surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of laparoscopic surgery for abdominal trauma patients. MethodsClinical data of 65 patients with abdominal trauma who treated in Affiliated Laigang Hospital of Taishan Medical College from January 2010 to December 2014 were collected retrospectively, all patients were diagnosed by laparoscopic exploration, and therapies were depended on the results of laparoscopic exploration. ResultsOf the 65 patients, 60 patients were definitely diagnosed through laparoscopic exploration, but 5 patients transferred to laparotomy because of clear diagnosis was not achieved under laparoscopy. Of the 60 patients who were diagnosed clearly by laparoscopy, 23 patients didn't received any intervention because of no obvious injury observed, 27 patients received laparoscopic surgery (3 patients were assisted with hands), and 10 patients transferred to open operation because of peritoneal contamination. Incision infection occurred in 1 patient after operation, 1 patient suffered from subphrenic abscess, and other 63 patients didn't suffered from any complication. All of the patients were discharged successfully. All of the 65 patients were followed up for 2-48 months with the median time of 10 months. Severe complications did not occurred and no patient needed re-operation within the period of follow-up period. ConclusionsLaparoscopy is feasible, safe, and effective for the evaluation and treatment of abdominal trauma patients with stable hemodynamics, and it also has a higher diagnostic rate. Laparoscopy can also reduce the negative exploratory laparotomy for the abdominal trauma patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and surgical techniques of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 58 patients who underwent laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture between January 2009 and December 2014. ResultsAll the 58 patients underwent the surgery successfully. Operation time was 45-125 minutes, averaging 75 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was between 10 and 50 mL with an average of 20 mL. Postoperative hospital stay was 5-14 days with an average of 7 days. Four cases of biliary leakage were cured by conservative treatment. ConclusionWith operation indications strictly grasped and skillful operation techniques, laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture are safe and reliable with a good curative effect.
Objective To compare the surgical outcome and investigate the clinic value between laparoscopic operation and laparotomy in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Methods We searched PubMed, EMbase, SCI, The Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China Journal Full Text Database, Chinese Medical Association Journals, and references of the included studies up to April 2009. Studies involving treatment outcome of ectopic pregnancy using laparoscopy compared with laparotomy were included. Data were extracted and methodological quality were evaluated by two reviewers independently with designed extraction form. The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0.1 software was used for data analyses. Results A total of 11 studies involving 1795 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that laparoscopy comparing with laparotomy; the operation time and complications had no difference; intraoperative blood loss was less than laparotomy; intestinal gas exhaust and evacuation active time was earlier than laparotomy. Conclusion Laparoscopy treating for ectopic pregnancy is better than laparotomy. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique, and is worthy to be popularized.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic exploration in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis by meta-analysis.MethodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect relevant studies on the diagnostic value of laparoscopic exploration in diagnosing tuberculous peritonitis from January 1st, 1990 to April 1st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. The Rveman 5.3, Meta-DiSc 1.4 and Stata SE15 software were used for statistical analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) was drawn.ResultsA total of 10 studies involving 1098 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnosis odds ratio and area under the curve of SROC were 0.98 (95%CI 0.96 to 0.98), 0.85 (95%CI 0.78 to 0.91), 4.78 (95%CI 1.98 to 11.54), 0.06 (95%CI 0.03 to 0.12), 111.40 (95%CI 36.55 to 339.58) and 0.971 1, respectively and the Q* was 0.9216.ConclusionsThe existing evidence shows that laparoscopic exploration has higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis. Laparoscopic exploration can be used as a diagnosis and treatment tool for patients with tuberculous peritonitis in case the laboratory test cannot determine the origin. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, the above results should be validated by more studies.
Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic resection for gastric stromal tumors. Methods The Literature published before November of 2010 was searched in PubMed, EMbase, Wiley Online Library, MEDLINE, CNKI, VIP, and CBM to identify the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs about laparoscopic versus open resection for gastric stromal tumors. The literature was screened according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria by two reviewers independently, and the methodology quality was evaluated after abstracting the data, then the RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analyses. Results Four quasi-RCTs and eight CCTs involving 496 patients were included. The results of Meta-analyses showed that, compared with the open resection surgery, the laparoscopic resection surgery significantly reduced the hospitalization duration (MD= –2.81, 95%CI –4.51 to –1.11), and the incidence of recurrence and metastasis (OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.13 to 1.01). No significant differences were found between the two groups in operation time, amount of bleeding, postoperative first flatus and oral intake, and total complication rate (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic resection surgery is safe to treat the patients with gastric stromal tumors, which may reduce the hospitalization duration and the incidence of recurrence and metastasis. Due to the poor quality and small sample size of included trials, more well-designed RCTs should be performed.
