Objective To explore the diameter change of the extrahepatic bile duct before and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods From Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2007， 113 patients including chronic gallstone cholecystitis （n=55）, inactive cholecystolithiasis （n=46） and gallbladder polyps （n=12） were collected and treated by LC. The diameters of their extrahepatic bile ducts were measured by B ultrasonography before operation， 3 months and 6 months after operation. These data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results The diameters of the extrahepatic bile ducts of all patients before LC， 3 months and 6 months after LC were (5±2) mm, (8±2) mm and (6±2) mm respectively. And in chronic gallstone cholecystitis patients they were (5±2) mm, (9±2) mm and (6±2) mm respectively， in inactive gallstone cholelithiasis patients they were (5±2) mm, (8±2) mm and (6±2) mm respectively， and in gallbladder polyps ones they were (5±2) mm, (7±2) mm and (5±2) mm respectively. Conclusion The change of the extrahepatic bile duct diameter after LC is a dynamic process. It is enlarged on the third month after operation than before operation. In the sixth month after operation marked retraction occurs, and compared with before operation, it shows no obvious statistic significance.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility, safety, cost, and patient satisfaction of ambulatory laparo-scopic cholecystectomy(ALC).
MethodsThe clinical data of patients who divided into ALC group(678 cases) and in-patient laparoscopic cholecystectomy(IPLC) group(1 534 cases) in our hospital from April 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The operative time, conversion rate, complication rate, hospitalization time, cost of hospi-talization, rehospitalization rate, and patient satisfaction were analyzed and evaluated.
ResultsThere were no significant differences of the operative time, postoperative complication rate, and rehospitalization rate between the 2 groups(P > 0.05). The conversion rate(0.44%), and hospitalization time[(1.2±0.5)d] of the ALC group were significantly lower or shorter than those of IPLC group[3.19%, (4.8±1.3) d], P < 0.05. The direct, indirect health care costs, and the total costs of the ALC group were (6 555.6±738.7), (230.0±48.0), and (8 856.0±636.0) yuan, respec-tively; and lower than those of the IPLC group[(7 863.71, 014.6), (973.0±136.5), and(8 856.0±636.0)yuan], P < 0.05.
ConclusionALC is safe and feasible, and could shorten the hospitalization time, lower the medical cost, speed up the bed turnover, and increase the efficiency in the use of health resource.
Objective To summarize the treatment experience for concomitant diseases of other abdominal organs in laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC）. Methods The clinical data of 176 patients with LC and concomitant diseases of other abdominal organs were analyzed retrospectively， including preoperatively diagnosed cases （such as 53 with liver cyst， 15 with choledocholithiasis， 7 with chronic appendicitis， 5 with inguinal hernia， 4 with renal cyst， and 6 with ovarian cyst） and intraoperatively diagnosed cases （such as 72 with abdominal cavity adhesion， 4 with internal fistula between gallbladder and digestive tract， 3 with Mirizzi syndrome， and 7 with unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma）. Results All the operation were successfully completed in 176 patients without severe complications， including 53 cases treated with LC plus fenestration of hepatic cyst， 15 with choledocholithotomy， 7 with appendectomy， 5 with tension free hernia repair， 4 with renal cyst fenestration， 6 with oophorocystectomy， 72 with adhesiolysis， 3 with fistula resection plus intestine neoplasty， 2 with intraoperative cholangiography plus choledocholithotomy， 5 with LC plus gallbladder bed complete burning， and 4 cases treated with conversion to open surgery （1 with intestinal fistula repair， 1 with choledocholithotomy， and 2 with radical resection for gallbladder carcinoma）. Conclusions It is safe and effective to treat gallbladder diseases complicated with other concomitant diseases simultaneously with laparoscopic operation， if the principles of surgical operation are followed and the indications and applicable conditions are strictly followed. And conversion to open surgery is necessary.
Objective To explore the prevention and treatment of injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein in laparoecopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of ?27 hemorrhage cases of ?injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein in laparoscopic cholecystectomy from January 2008 to January 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 27 hemorrhage cases were successfully stopped bleeding under laparoscopy by the way of packing hemostasis （n=17）, clamping hemostasis （n=6）, and suturing hemostasis （n=4）. In the 3 hemostasis methods, the operating time and amout of bleeding in the cases with packing hemostasis was the shortest and the least, respectively, which was （90.26±12.46） min and （240.32±80.15）ml, respectively, but the differences of the 3 methods were not statistical significance （P＞0.05）. Conclusions During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, gallbladder bed should be seperated in the correct plane to avoid injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein. The most important to ensure surgery safety is applying the right surgical hemostasis method to stop bleeding quickly, and the open surgery will be the first choice in the right time when the difficult hemostasis occurs under laparoscopy.
【Abstract】Objective To study the clinical application of laparoscopic operation. Methods The clinical findings from 13 840 cases of laparoscopic surgery in this hospital from 1992 to 2005 were reviewed retrospectively.Results Laparoscopic operation were performed successfully in 13 653（98.6%）,187 cases were transferred to open operation. Complications were occurred in 115 cases, including common bile duct injury in 3 cases. Combined treatment with laparoscope and endoscope were performed in 162 cases. Eleven thousand three hundred and fiftytwo patients had been succeeded in followup survey. Over 90.0 percent of patients recovered smoothly. Conclusion Laparoscopic operation may be applied in a more extensive scope. The major complications can be reduced by strict procedures of laparoscopic operation. The combined treatment of laparoscope and endoscope should be further studied and widely used.
Four hundred and twenty six laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)were peformed on patients with acute and subacute cholecystitis,including ①emergency LC(59 patients),②selected LC(215 patients following administration of antibiotic and antispasmotic drugs for 10-15days),and ③selected LC(152 patients with mild biliary colic without any medication).Operative findings were ①congestion and edema of the gallbladder(208cases,11 of them were achieved laparocystectomy),②impaction of stones in the cystic infundibulum or duct with hydrops of gallbladder(142 cases,14 of them were achieved by laparocystectomy),and ③gangrene or empyema of gallbladder(76 patients,20 of them were achieved by laparocystectomy).LC was done successfully on 377 cases,conversion to open surgery was 45 cases (10.6%),severe complication occured on 4 patients for LC(reoperation,0.9%).The quthors believe that LC for patients with acute and subacute cholecystitis issafe and suitable,but LC cannot replace the classical laparocystectomy.
ObjectiveTo introduce the experience in diagnosing and treating cholecystoenteric fistula (CEF) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsFive cases with CEF in a series of 4 200 LC cases were reviewed.All of the five patients were proved to have CEF during operations.There were four cholecystoduodenal fistulas and one cholecystocolic fistula. One case with cholecystoduodenal fistula was treated by a suturing of the fistula under laparoscopy; 1 case was closed with titaniun and 2 cases were converted to laparotomy and fistulectomy.The patient with cholecystocolic fistula clips was treated by a suturing of the fistula under laparoscopy. ResultsAll the patients had got good recovery without complications.Conclusion CEF is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.If the diagnosis is made before operation, open operation might be a better choice.But if the diagnosis was made during the LC operation, suture closure or clip closure or stapler closure of CEF under laparoscope might be chosen for an experienced surgeon.
Objective
To explore the application effects of innovative health education on patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Methods
A total of 139 patients undergoing ambulatory LC from November to December 2016 were selected as the control group, receiving the traditional health education; and other 141 patients undergoing ambulatory LC from February to March 2017 were selected as the observation group, receiving the innovative health education. The two groups were followed up and observed 1 day, 2, and 28 days after the discharge, and the incidence rates of adverse reactions such as postoperative pain, bleeding and incision infection were measured, and the disease knowledge mastery, self-care skills, medication compliance and satisfaction to nursing and hospital were evaluated.
Results
The total incidence rate of adverse reactions was 7.8% in the observation group and 25.2% in the control group (P<0.001). Medication compliance from high to low was 90, 46 and 5 cases in the observation group and 59, 64 and 16 cases in the control group (P<0.001). In the observation group, the scores of disease knowledge mastery, self-care cognition, nursing satisfaction and hospital satisfaction were 93.4±5.5, 91.4±4.5, 96.4±3.7 and 98.1±3.7, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group (83.8±8.7, 83.2±9.1, 91.5±9.2 and 94.8±7.3, respectively) with statistical significance (P<0.001).
Conclusion
Innovative health education has certain application effects on ambulatory LC, and it can significantly improve disease knowledge mastery and self-care cognition, and help to ensure the medical quality and safety during perioperative period, and improve the patients’ satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of clipless laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to patients with calculous cholecystitis in acute inflammation stage. Methods The clinical data of 169 patients with calculous cholecystitis in acute inflammation stage who underwent clipless LC from December 2008 to July 2010 were analyzed. ResultsAll patients were successfully operated by LC except one case who suffered from gallbladder perforation and a conversion to open surgery was performed. The operation time ranged from 25-70 min (mean 38 min). The blood loss ranged from 10-200 ml (mean 22 ml). Peritoneal drainage was done in 38 patients, and the drainage time ranged from 1-6 d (mean 1.8 d). The time to out-of-bed activity was at 2 h after operation and the hospitalization time was 3-7 d (mean 3.5 d). There was no complication such as bile duct injury, hemorrhage, billiary leakage, and intra-abdominal infection. ConclusionWith improvement of operator’s experiences and skills, the clipless LC becomes feasible and safe for patients with calculous cholecystitis in acute inflammation stage.
Objective To explore the operative managements of ectopic gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods Twenty one cases of ectopic gallbladder undergone LC in this hospital were analyzed regarding the perioperative management, principle, and technique of operation.Results There were 2 cases of situs transversus, 1 case with gallbladder under right posterior lobe of liver, 2 under left lateral lobe of liver and 16 in the liver. All 21 cases of ectopic gallbladder had undergone LC successfully, and no complications were found during and after operation. Conclusion Anatomic ectopia of gallbladder tosses a challenging problem to laparoscopic surgeon. It is safe for surgeons to recognise actual anatomical anomaly and to manage them appropriately.
