Objective To summarize the experiences in learning laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC） and discuss young surgeons how to learn LC scientifically. Method The clinical data of 198 patients received LC by myself since I got the qualification of LC were analyzed retrospectively. Results LC was performed successfully in 187 patients with an average operation time of 68 min. Eleven patients were converted to laparotomy. In these 11 patients， 10 patients because of unclear anatomy in Calot triangle and 1 patient because of uncontrollable bleeding due to pathologic anatomy in Calot triangle caused by gallstone. All 198 patients did not suffer from complications such as severe hemorrhage or injury of biliary duct. Liquid therapy and antibiotics therapy were applied in patients with cholecystitis after LC. Food intake and ambulation were recovered at 12-24h after operation. All the patients were discharged from hospital with anaverage of 2.8d after LC. There was no complications related bile duct injury in all of the patients. Conclusion Managed by hierarchical operations management system， mastering regional physiological and variant anatomy， making use of other open cholecystectomy and laparoscopic simulative learning system well， complying with the learning curve， controlling the indications， contraindications and timing of conversion to laparotomy， young surgeons are able to master LC scientifically， safely， and solidly.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the security and feasibility of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site cholecystectomy (TULESC) with conventional laparoscopic instruments.
MethodsThe clinical data of 62 adult patients undergoing TULESC between October 2011 and June 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 13 males and 49 females aged between 22 and 70 years old averaging 40±15. Forty-nine patients suffered from chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis, 10 from asymptomatic cholelithiasis and 3 from cholecystic polyposis. A single arc incision was cut on the edge of the umbilicus, and two 10 mm Trocars and one 5 mm Trocar were placed by puncture. Cholecystectomy was performed with conventional laparoscopic instruments and equipment.
ResultsAll the 62 patients underwent TULESC successfully without severe complications such as bile leakage or biliary injury. The operation time was 20-70 minutes with the average of (40±15) minutes; The blood loss was 5-40 mL with the average of (15±10) mL. All the patients were discharged from the hospital within 3 to 7 days after surgery, averaging 4.0±1.0. During the 1 to 12-month follow-up (averaging 3 months), there was no obviously visible scars on the abdominal wall and the aesthetic effect was significant.
ConclusionTULESC with conventional laparoscopic instruments and equipment is safe, feasible and cosmetic.
Objective To summarize the experiences of “three holes and one hook in the end (TOE)” laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in 1 260 cases and to investigate the operation procedures, technical points and the prevention of complications. Methods The data of 1 260 patients suffering from chronic calculous cholecystitis, acute calculous cholecystitis, atrophic cholecystitis, gallbladder polyps etc., who were admitted to this hospital and treated by TOE from March 1999 to March 2008 were included and analysed retrospectively in this study. Results One thousand two hundred and sixty of cases were cured, including 1 252 cases of succeeding LC (99.37%), conversions to open in 8 cases, no death, no bile duct injury, with intraoperative hemorrhage in 3 cases, umbilicus infection in 2 cases, gallbladder fossa hydrops in 3 cases, with operation time for 8-60 min (mean 38.5 min) and hospitalization for 3-7 d (mean 5 d ) after surgery. During the follow up of 1 002 cases for 1 to 7 years (mean 3.5 years), there were no complications such as bile fistula, bile duct stricture, residual stones of biliary duct, etc.. Conclusion TOE is worthy of application and promotion for the excellent effectiveness, few complications, rapid recovery and safety.
ObjectiveTo investigate and compare the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with gallbladder stone.
MethodsThe eligible patients with gallbladder stones hospitalized in our department between January 2007 and December 2011 were included, and all of them received either laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy (observation group) or laparoscopic cholecystectomy (control group) minimally-invasive surgery. The operation time, bleeding volume, enterokinesia recovery time, hospital stay, post-operative complication and follow-up results were compared between the two groups.
ResultsA total of 148 patients were included, with 68 patients in the observation group and 80 patients in the control group. In this cohort, the success rate of surgery for the observation group and the control group was 100.0% (68/68) and 98.8% (79/80), respectively; and the success rate of complete stone removal was 100% for both two groups. B-ultrasound examination after 2 weeks of treatment showed that gallbladder wall was normal and gallbladder contraction rate was more than 30% for all patients with laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy. The operation time was (49.6±5.2) minutes for the observation group and (50.5±6.2) minutes for the control group, and bleeding volume was (9.5±1.4) mL for the observation group and (50.2±8.1) mL for the control group; the difference in bleeding volume was significant between the two groups (P<0.05). The difference in enterokinesia recovery time[(33.9±2.2) and (34.4±2.6) minutes] or hospital stay[(3.4±1.0) and (3.6±1.2) days] between the observation group and the control group was not significant (both P >0.05). The post-operative complications of bleeding, bile leakage and wound infection were not observed in both two groups, and all patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months with no stone recurrence; and only 2.7% of patients (1/37) had stone recurrence after 3-year follow-up.
ConclusionBoth laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures are safe and efficient. However, laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy not only reserves gallbladder but also has superiority of less bleeding volume.
Objective To study the suitable operation method of elderly patients with acute cholecystitis. Methods The clinical data of 149 elderly patients with acute cholecystitis were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups according to the operation: open cholecystectomy group (OC group, n=76) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (LC group, n=73). Some clinical data were compared in this paper such as operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, time of resumption of food, time of intestinal function recovery and complications. Results No marked difference was found between OC group and LC group about basic data except WBC count and examination of gallbladder by B ultrasound（P＞0.05）. But there were significant difference in operation time, blood loss, time of resumption of food, time of intestinal function recovery, length of hospital stay and complications between OC group and LC group （P＜0.01）. Conclusion Individualized treatment should be emphasized on elderly patients with acute cholecystitis. Selection of OC or LC to these patients should be based on the clinical condition and taken the safety as the first principle.
ObjectiveTo explore the reliability and safety of diagnosis and treatment for cholecystocolonic fistula during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
MethodsData of patients with cholecystocolonic fistula in department of general surgery, Gansu provincial hospital from Jan 2002 to Dec 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 112 cases diagnosed by routine intraoperative cholangiography from 11 472 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients, including 33 males and 79 females, age from 58 to 84 years〔(67.4±12.6) years〕.
ResultsOne hundred and twelve cases of cholecystocolonic fistula were diagnosed by routine intraoperative cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There were 105 cases of cholecystocolonic fistula performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy and colon repair, and 7 cases performed colostomy, no surgical complications occurred. Seventy cases were followed-up for 6-27 months〔(16.4±5.3)months〕after operation, no long-term complications occurred.
ConclusionsThere is a lack of specific symptoms and special diagnosis for cholecystocolonic fistula before operation. Intraoperative cholangiography is a only objective method for diagnosis, and treatment of cholecystocolonic fistula by laparoscopic cholecystectomy and colon repair or colostomy is safe and reliable based on experienced laparoscopic skill.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo evaluate the injury of common bile duct in immediate removal of the ligation in cholecystectomy. MethodsEighteen healthy Japanese rabbits were selected and divided into three groups randomly: A group treated with simple cholecystectomy, B group with cholecystectomy plus common bile duct crossligation and C group with cholecystectomy plus hepatic bile duct conjunction “Y”type ligation. The ligation was removed after 5 min in B and C groups. The levels of serum transaminase and bilirubin and pathological changes of bile duct and liver in each group were observed respectively. ResultsThere were no statistic difference in the levels of GPT, GOT, total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB) and DB/TB on 12 hours before operation and the 1st and 7th day after operation between A and ligation groups (Pgt;0.05). But there were statistic difference in the those indexes and pathological changes of bile duct and liver between A and ligation groups on the 30th and 90th day after operation (Plt;0.05). ConclusionDuring cholecystectomy, immediate removal of common bile duct ligation doesn’t affect shortterm results, but the long-term results are bile duct stricture and obstruction.
Objective To investigate the possibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC） on porcelain gallbladder. Methods Twenty-four cases of porcelain gallbladder， who were operated in China Medical University， including 13 LC cases， from 2006 to 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Of 24 porcelain gallbladder cases (0.48%) in 4964 cholecystectomy patients， calcification of gallbladder in 87.50%(21/24) patients was diagnosed by ultrasonography. Of 13 patients who were cured by LC, one suffered from postoperative leak bile, no metastasis were found by following up 12 or 14 months in two gallbladder carcinoma cases. Conclusion There’s specificity of ultrasonographic image in porcelain gallbladder, in which LC is safe to be performed and routine frozen pathology during operation is necessary.

Objective
To investigate the cause, management and prevention of biliary fistula with un-typical after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Twenty-one cases of biliary fistula with un-typical after LC were reviewed retrospectively. Results All patients displayed with un-typical expression and had no obvious signs of peritonitis. Lump of right upper quadrant (6 cases)
，
vague pain of epigastric zone (11 cases)
，
abdominal distention (3 cases) and bowel obstruction (1 case) after operation were main manifestations. Abdominal paracentesis (14 cases)
，
bile exuded from incisional opening of trocar (6 cases) and exploratory laparotomy (1 caes) were the methods of final diagnosis. The cause of biliary fistula included cystic stump fistula (2 cases)
，
aberrant bile-duct fistula (9 cases)
，
and accessory hepatic duct fistula (4 cases). Laparoscopic approach and puncturation and drainage under ultrasound were the main therapeutic methods. All patiens were discharged successfully with no death case. Nineteen cases were followed up for 3 months to 2 years, and all patients recovered very well. Conclusion The biliary fistula with un-typical after LC is scarce
，
and it can lead to missed diagnosis and treatment. Strengthening recognition of biliary fistula after LC
，
and paying attention to chief complaint and abdominal sign can help discover biliary fistula early. Laparoscopic approach and puncturation under ultrasound are the recommended therapeutic methods.
This study was designed to determine the effects of different anaesthesia on the postoperative gastrointestinal motility after cholecystectomy. Postoperative gastrointestinal motility were recorded continuously by means of gastrointestinal manometry in 20 patients subject to cholecystectomy (general anaesthesia 10, epidural anaesthesia 10). Normal migrating motor complex (MMC) was abolished during the early postoperative period in all patients. The time of reappearance of intestinal MMC varied from 0.5 to 2 hours . Gastric MMC recurred 5.5 to 14 hours postoperatively and the normal MMC completely recovered 22 to 43 hours after the operations. Ingestion of food changed the MMC into a fed pattern during the early postoperative period. There was no difference between the general anaesthesia group and epidural anaesthesia group in terms of gastrointestinal motility. The results indicate that postoperative gastrointestinal motility recovers faster than that was thought conventionally. Cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia or under epidural anaesthesia makes no difference in postoperative gastrointestinal motility.
