Objective To discuss the pathogeny， treatment and prophylactic measures of postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). Methods The clinical data of 150 patients with laparoscopic PCS in our department from October 2000 to March 2009 were analyzed. Results Etiological factors were found in 131 patients: one hundred and twelve cases were due to the reasons of biliary system, including bile duct residual stones after cystic resection， the injury bile duct stenosis， a long residual cystic canal， nipple benign stricture, bile duct tumor etc; Nineteen examples were due to other reasons, including gallbladder stone merger reflux gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer， diverticulum beside duodenal nipple, and so on, which resulted in the symptoms un-release after cystic resection. Nineteen cases were not found organic lesion. In ones whose etiological factors were definite, 117 cases were treated with different surgeries according to different etiological factors; another 33 cases were treated with conservative treatment. Total 145 cases were followed up, and 139 cases in them were cured or relieved at different degrees. Conclusion Careful preoperative examination, normalized operation avoiding damaging bile duct and leaving behind bile duct stones can effectively prevent laparoscopic PCS.
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 compare the advantages and disadvantages of transumbilical single port (TUSP) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsThe clinical data of 45 patients underwent elective LC were analyzed, 20 patients with TUSP LC (TUSP-LC group), 25 patients with conventional LC (conventional LC group). The operation time, Child-Pugh score and painkiller application frequency within three days after operation, the first time of out of bed and hospital stay after operation, intraoperative blood loss, chronic pain within one month after surgery were compared between two groups. ResultsAll cases were operated successfully except one patient in the conventional LC group. The frequency of painkiller application within three days after operation and postoperative hospital stay in the TUSP-LC group were better than those in the conventional LC group (Plt;0.05). There were no significant differences on postoperative chronic pain of surgical area within 1 month and Child-Pugh score between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the conventional LC group were less than those in the TUSP-LC group (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01). ConclusionTUSP LC has the advantages of small wound, slight pain, and fast recovery.
As a new discipline, the cardiac surgery has a great development in the modern age, but still faces many problems and disputes. The emergence of the evidence-based medicine (EBM), which emphasizes the best evidence, and combines the doctor’s clinical experience to make the best judgment, gives the development of the cardiac surgery a new thinking. Four systematic reviews published in The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2004) have interprated the importance of EBM on how to resolve the actual problems in different field of the cardiac surgery.
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.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) on prevention of the complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsThe clinical data of 1 079 patients underwent LC from January 2006 to June 2010 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the use of MRCP or not in the different period, the patients were divided into nonMRCP group (n=523) and MRCP group (n=556). The occurrence of bile duct injuries (BDI) and retained common duct stone (RCDS) were compared between two groups. ResultsConversion to open surgery was performed in 35 cases in nonMRCP group and in 41 cases in MRCP group. The intraoperative and postoperative BDI were found in five patients and RCDS were found in 27 patients in nonMRCP group, and those were not found in patients in MRCP group. The differences of BDI and RCDS of patients were significant between two groups (P=0.026 and P=0.000). In nonMRCP group, 23 of 55 patients were found common bile duct stones by intraoperative cholangiography. Common bile duct stones were found by intraoperative cholangiography other than preoperative MRCP in three patients in MRCP group, while another three patients did not find common bile duct stones by intraoperative cholangiography although preoperative MRCP suggested. By MRCP, double gallbladders were found in one patient, Mirizzi syndrome in eight patients, variant cystic duct in 34 patients, accessory hepatic duct in 28 patients, and complicating common bile duct stones in 27 patients in MRCP group, the diagnostic accuracy of those were 100%, 87.5%, 94.1%, 89.3% and 88.9%, respectively. ConclusionPreoperative MRCP is helpful to prevent BDI and RCDS for the patients with LC.
【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.
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 discuss the safety，feasibility，and advantages of two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC）．Methods The clinical data of 114 patients underwent LC from June 2008 to October 2010 were retrospectively analyzed，of which 46 underwent two-port LC （two-port LC group，n=46） and 68 underwent three-port LC （three-port LC group，n=68）. The operation time，intraoperative blood loss，postoperative feeding time，postoperative pain，postoperative hospital stay，and hospitalization expenses were compared between two groups. Results All the operations were successful，no postoperative complications occurred in both groups．The operation time in the two-port LC group was longer than that in the three-port LC group （P＜0.05）. The intraoperative blood loss，postoperative feeding time，postoperative pain，and postoperative hospital stay had no significant differences in two groups （P＞0.05）. The hospitalization expenses in the two-port group was less than that in the three-port group（P＜0.05）. Conclusions Two-port LC is a safe and feasible operation in the simple gallstone patients. It is cautious in those patients with acute cholecystitis because of the restricted vision and operation．
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and surgical techniques of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy （LSC) in treatment for patients with cholecystolithiasis combined with severe gallstone gallbladder inflammation, adhesion, or atrophy. MethodsThe clinical data of 83 patients with cholecystolithiasis combined with severe gallstone gallbladder inflammation, adhesion, or atrophy admitted to this hospital between January 2006 and April 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsEighty-one patients were performed LSC, 2 patients were converted to laparotomy. In which 39 patients with the part of wall residual of the fundus and (or) body of the gallbladder, 26 patients with residual of part of gallbladder neck, 18 patients with residual of part of gallbladder body and neck. Fifty-one cases were followed-up for 3 months to 4 years, there were 2 patients with the change like “mini gallbladder” by B ultrasound and no obviously clinical symptoms. There was no ostcholecystectomy syndrome in the patients with follow-up. ConclusionsLSC is a safe, effective, feasible procedure for severe gallstone gallbladder inflammation, adhesion, or atrophy, which can effectively prevent bile duct injury, bleeding, or other serious complications. While it can also reduce the rate of conversion to laparotomy.
