【Abstract】Objective To investigate the effects and advantages of laparoscopic hernioplasty for hernia. Methods From June 1995 to June 2005, 222 patients with hernia were treated with laparoscopy. Transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) were performed in 166 patients. Totally extraperitoneal hernia repair(TEP) were performed in 25 patients. Closure of the internal orifice of hernia was performed in 21 patients. Furthermore, incisional hernia in 2 patients, diaphragmatic hernia in 1 patient and mesenteric hernia in 1 patient were performed by laparoscopic hernioplasty and 6 patients with hernia of oesophagus finestra performed hernioplasty combined collapse gastric fundus with laparoscopy. In this series 45 patients associated with other abdominal disease were simultaneously treated with laparoscopy. Results All cases were operated successfully. The span of operation reduration was 42.5 min 〔(10～180 min)〕. The average length of postoperative hospital stay were 4.6 days. There was one early failure owing to the use of too small a piece of mesh.Conclusion The results indicate that mesh repair of hernias is a satisfactory technique with a low recurrence rate and a low major complication rate.
Objective To study the superiority and efficiency of total peritoneum intraperitoneal onlay mesh (TPIPOM) in laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty. Methods One hundred and five cases of laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty with TPIPOM and 34 cases of inguinal hernioplasty with trans-abdominal preperitoneal laparoscopic mesh repair (TAPP) were performed from January 2002 to August 2005. Perioperative data and follow-up results were collected and compared in two groups. Results The laparoscopic hernioplasty was successfully performed in all patients. The total operation time, hospital stay, average off-bed time, duration of pain in TPIPOM group were significant shorter than those in TAPP group 〔(30.8±10.3) min vs (68.4±22.4) min, (3.8±1.3) d vs (4.3±1.5) d, (1.2±0.5) d vs (1.8±0.7) d, (1.0±0.5) d vs (1.6±0.9) d, respectively〕, P＜0.01, the total hospital cost was RMB 5 000.8±800.5 in TPIPOM group and that was RMB 8 000.5±950.6 in TAPP group (P＜0.01). No significant scrotal edema was observed postoperatively and no recurrence reported during (18.6±8.9) months follow-up in both groups. Conclusion Laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty with TPIPOM is safe and efficacy with advantages of mini-invasion, simple procedures, shorter operation time, no complications and better recovery.
Objective To explore the effect of gallbladder preserving surgery with laparoscope and choledochoscope.Methods The data of 60 cases of gallbladder preserving surgery with laparoscope and choledochoscope （observation group） and carried out with the same period 61 cases of small incision gallbladder preserving surgery （control group） between June 2008 to January 2013 were retrospective analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for （18±2.4）months （6-36 months）. The intraoperative blood loss， postoperative gallbladder hemorrhage rate， gallbladder dysfunctionrate， postoperative hospitalization time， stone recurrence rate， and reoperation rate in observation group were less orlower or shorter than the control group （P＜0.05）. The operative time and hospital costs in observation group were longeror higher than that of the control group （P＜0.05）. The rest of the observation index of two groups were no significant differences （P＞0.05）. Conclusions The gallbladder preserving surgery with laparoscope and choledochoscope is safeand feasible in technique level， and the short-term effect after operation is better. But the operation indications must be controlled strictly. The long-term efficacy needs further accumulation of cases and collect enough evidence to verify.
ObjectiveTo investigate safety and feasibility of early oral feeding after laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy.
MethodsOne hundred and fifty patients with gastric cancer admitted to hospital from May 2015 to Feb-ruary 2016 were divided into early oral feeding (EOF) group and traditional feeding (TF) group by a randomized contro-lled way. The relevant postoperative indicators, including postoperative complications (wound infection, inflammatory intestinal obstruction, anastomotic leakage, pulmonary infection, gastric retention), feeding tolerance (nausea, vomiting, and reinserting of gastric tube), nutritional status (serum albumin, prealbumin), immune function (IgA, IgG, IgM), recovery of gastrointestinal function (postoperative the first anal exhaust time and defecation time), hospitalization time, and hospitalization expenses, were observed and analyzed.
Results① One hundred and thirty-nine patients were included in this study, there were 72 cases in the EOF group, 67 cases in the TF group. The gender, age, boby mass index, etc. had no statistic significances between these two groups (P>0.05). ② All the patients of the two groups were cured and discharged, no patients died during perioperative period. The postoperative the first anal exhaust time, defecation time, and hospitalization time of the EOF group were significantly less than those of the TF group (P<0.05). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative hospitalization expenses had no significant differences between these two groups (P>0.05).③ The levels of serum albumin, prealbumin, and IgA on day 7 after operation in the EOF group were significantly higher than those in the TF group (P<0.05). The levels of IgG and IgM on day 7 after operation had no significant differences between these two groups (P>0.05). ④The tolerance rates of oral feeding of the EOF group and TF group patients was 91.7% (66/72) and 94.0% (63/67) respectively, the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=0.044, P=0.833). While 2 patients needed to be inserted gastric tube again due to nausea and abdominal distention in the EOF group, the symptoms were cured with conservative treatment about 3 d.⑤ The postoperative complications of the EOF group were 10 cases, TF group were 10 cases, the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=0.173, P=0.677). And postoperative complications were cured and discharged after active conservative treatment. Postoperative follow-up of 102 (102/139) cases were completed, follow-up time was 1-6 months, no patients admitted to hospital again for postopera-tive complications.
ConclusionEarly oral feeding after laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy is safe and feasible, which don't only increase incidence of complications, but also improve nutritional status of patients, and promote recoveries of immune function and intestinal function, and shorten postoperative hospitalization time.
ObjectiveTo explore the curative effect and value of laparoscopic operation in the treatment of acute gangrenous and perforated appendicitis.
MethodsThe clinical data of 243 patients with acute gangrenous and perforated appendicitis from February 2011 to February 2014 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Laparoscopic appendectomy was performed in 118 cases (LA group), and open appendectomy was performed in 125 cases (OA group). The operative time, hospital stay, hospital costs, incision bleeding, gastrointestinal function recovery, wound infection, pelvic abscess, and postoperative adhesions of two groups were compared.
ResultsThere was no significant difference in the operative time, incision bleeding, and the incidence of pelvic abscess after operation between the LA group and OA group (P>0.05). Compared with the OA group, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function was significantly shortened (P<0.01), eating time was earlier (P<0.01), hospitalization time also shortened significantly (P<0.01), and the incidence of postoperative wound infection and intestinal adhesion were significantly decreased (P<0.01) after operation in LA group. But the cost of hospitalization in LA group increased significantly (P<0.05).
ConclusionsThe laparoscopic operation in the treatment of gangrenous and perforated appendicitis are light of pain., recover quickly, shorter of hospital stay, and fewer complications. The increase of hospitalization expenses is the only deficiency.
Objective
To investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic Y-shaped polypropylene mesh in the treatment of uterine and vaginal vault prolapse.
Methods
Between June 2010 and December 2012, 24 patients with uterine and vaginal vault prolapse were treated by laparoscopic pelvic reconstruction (vagina and uterus-sacral fixation) with Y-shaped polypropylene mesh. The age of patients was 35-60 years (mean, 48.6 years). The disease duration was 2-8 years (mean, 5 years). According to the pelvic organ prolapse quatitative (POP-Q) classification by International Continence Society (ICS), 16 cases were classified as uterine prolapsed degree II and 8 cases as degree III; 15 cases were classified as vaginal prolapse degree I, 7 cases as degree II, and 2 cases as degree III. All patients received postoperative follow-up regularly. Subjective evaluation was done based on prolapse quality of life questionnaire (P-QOL), and objective evaluation based on POP-Q classification.
Results
All the patients were operated successfully. The operation time was 22-68 minutes (mean, 33 minutes); the blood loss was 30-80 mL (mean, 51 mL); the indwelling urethral catheter remain was 3-7 days (mean, 4 days); and the hospitalization days were 4-9 days (mean, 6.8 days). Twenty-four patients were followed up 3-12 months (mean, 9 months), of whom, 2 were followed up less than 6 months. All patients had normal urination after withdrawal of urethral catheter, and the residual urine volume was in normal range. No patients had mesh erosion and discomfort during sex, vaginal and anal bearing down. The P-QOL scores at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were significantly improved when compared with the preoperative value (P lt; 0.05); but there was no significant difference among 3, 6, and 12 months after operation (P gt; 0.05). The postoperative POP-Q classification was degree 0 in 19 cases and degree I in 3 cases, and the objective cure rate was 91.7%. No recurrence was found during follow-up.
Conclusion
Laparoscopic Y-shaped polypropylene mesh for treatment of uterine and vaginal vault prolapse is a safe and effective method, especially applicable to preserve the uterus, and higher requirements of sexual life of patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and security of laparoscopic Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD)or laparoscopic pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPPPD)for the patients with periampullary diseases, estimate the ratio of postoperative complications between LPD and LPPPD.
MethodsFourty-five patients who underwent the LPD or LPPPD from January 2010 to March 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. These patients were divided into LPD group and LPPPD group basing on the Whipple or polyrus preservation.
ResultsAmong these 45 patients, 25 patients were performed the LPD, the other 20 patients were performed the LPPPD. There were 25(55.56%)complications after operation, including 10 cases of pancreatic fistula, 1 case of bile leakage, 6 cases of delayed gastric emptying, 3 cases of infection, 2 cases of stomach intestine stomatorrhagia, 1 case of mesenteric venous thrombosis, 1 case of ascites, 1 case of chylous fistula. The complication rate had no significant difference between two groups. One patient died after operation in the LPPPD group.
ConclusionLaparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe and feasible in the treatment of periampullary diseases, the LPPPD could partly prevent the occurrence of reflux of the digestive juice following the resection of pylorus and improve the quality of life.
Objective To explore surgical technique and clinical outcome of transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) in inguinal hernia repair. Methods 〗The clinical data of 23 patients underwent laparoscopic herniorrhaphy were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were underwent TAPP, and 14 patients underwent TEP. Results 〗None of patients was changed to open operation. Only one patient of TEP was changed to TAPP. Average operative time was (82.1±40.6) min. Blood loss was (5.7±3.0) ml. Disruption of peritoneum happened to 2 patients underwent TEP. The rate of postoperative complications was 21.7% (5/23), which included serum swelling (1 case), scrotal emphysema (2 cases), transient neurapraxia in the area of repair (1 case) and urinary retention (1 case). No chronic pain, foreign body sensation and infection were found. Average hospitalization after operation was (4.3±0.9) d. No recurrence was observed during a follow-up period of 1-15 months. Conclusion 〗Laparoscope herniorrhaphy is safe due to lower recurrence and complications. It also has the advantages of slight pain and rapid recovery.
Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic-assisted transanal everted pull-through resection and anastomosis in the treatment for ultra-low rectal cancer （the inferior margin of the tumor from the anal margin of less than 5cm）. Methods From December 2006 to December 2009，46 patients with ultra-low rectal cancer had been undergone laparoscopic-assisted transanal everted pull-through resection and anastomosis. The intraoperative condition，postoperative complications，and the result of follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. Results The operation was successfully performed on all the patients. The intraoperative blood loss was （202±56） ml （100-290m1）. The time of recovery of gastrointestinal function was （60±16） h （36-82 h）. No anastomotic bleeding or stomal leak was observed. All the patients were followed-up for （31±5） months （21-45months），15 patients developed mild to moderate anastomotic stricture，1 local recurrence， and 2 liver metastasis. All the patients had no anal incontinence 10months after stoma closure operation， the defecation of all the patients became normal （4.5±1.2） months（2-10months） later. Conclusions Laparoscopic-assisted transanal everted pull-through resection and anastomosis for ultra-low rectal cancer is safe and feasible， and the effect is satisfactory.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect of laparoscopic assisted and open D2 radical resection in treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
MethodsThe clinical data of 76 cases performed by laparoscopic assisted D2 radical resection (laparoscopic group) and 104 cases performed by open operation (open group) from October 2010 to October 2012 in our center were retrospective analized.Operation related index, postoperative recovery, and extent of radical resection of tumor of 2 groups were compared.
ResultsThe operative time of the laparoscopic group[(192.5±14.8) min]was longer than that open group[(171.5±16.5) min, P < 0.05].But the blood loss, postoperative drainage, length of incision, and hospital stay of the laparoscopic group were significantly less or shorter than those of open group (P < 0.05).There were no significant difference in postoperative complications and extent of radical resection of tumor between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).There were no residual tumor in distal margin and operatiive death case in both 2 groups.
ConclusionComparing with open operation, the laparoscopic assisted surgery for advanced gastric cancer could achieve the same clinical outcomes, and obvious advantage of minimal invasion.
