From December 1995 to December 1997, 1 500 patients with gallstones or together with biliary duct stones accepted laparoscopic cholesystectomy (LC) or LC+laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCDE). There were 9 had serious complications (0.6%) occured . While the mean age was 54.9 years old. The sex ratio (female∶male) was 1∶1.25. Three cases had major biliary duct disruption, 1 case had stomach perforation, 2 cases had duodenal injuries, 1 bleeding case because cystic artery fail to clip, 1 case had postoperative cystic duct leak, and 1 case with T-tube dislodgement. All complications had been discovered during or shortly after operations. The injuries on the extrahepatic biliary duct with lengths of 0.2-0.4cm, and the gastrodenal injuries sized 0.5-1.0cm. All of the injuries had been sutured laparoscopically without sequela. The one who had postoperative cystic duct leak and jaundice accepted LCDE, proved to have a common bile duct stone. The bleeding cystic artery had been clipped well, and the dislodged T-tube replaced well. The results show if the complications which may be very serious or complex had been discovered shortly after or during the operations, its can be managed with laparoscopic technique safely by experienced operators.
ObjectiveTo summary the standard treatment for early gastric cancer. MethodsThe current early gastric cancer treatment guidelines around the world were analyzed and the standardized treatment patterns for early gastric cancer were concluded. ResultsThe accurate preoperative evaluation for early gastric cancer is the basis of standardized treatment which can be divided into staging evaluation and histological evaluation.The staging evaluation is focused on the gastric wall invasion and lymph node involvement of the tumor while the histologic evaluation emphasize the histological type and grading of the tumor.According to the precise evaluation for early gastric cancer, endoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, and multimodal therapy can be applied individually to the patients.Different treatment methods have their indications, but the indications of the therapies in different guidelines are suggested with slight differences. ConclusionIn clinical practice, the choice of treatment should be made with comprehensive consideration of diagnosis and individual characteristics of patients to achieve the most benefit on prognosis.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the influence on ovarian reserve function by different hemostatic methods during laparoscopic cystectomy in treatment of ovarian endometrioma (OE). MethodsDatabases including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data were electronically searched, to collect relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about laparoscopic electro coagulation vs. microscopically suture for OE from 1990 to Mar, 2014. Meanwhile, references of included studies were also retrieved manually. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then RevMan 5.2 software was used for meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 16 RCTs involving 1 236 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the luteinizing hormone (LH) levels after 1 month, 2 months, 6 months and 12 months and estradiol (E2) levels after 2 months, 6 months had no significant differences between the two groups and the E2 level after 12 month of the suture group was significantly lower than that of the electro coagulation group. The levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), LH, E2, antral follicle count (AFC), mean ovarian stromal peak systolic blood flow velocity (PSV) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in the suture group were significantly superior to those in the electro coagulation group at other follow-up time. ConclusionCurrent evidence suggests that in treatment of ovarian endometriotic cyst by laparoscopic cystectomy, compared with electro coagulation hemostasis, suture hemostasis has less influence on ovarian reserve function. Due to limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo compare the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic transanal pull through surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.MethodsRelevant literatures were retrieved from databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library databases, Embase, CNKI, CBM, Wan-fang database, and VIP databases from Jan. 2009 to Jul. 2019, all the relevant trial documents ［included randomized controlled trial and non randomized controlled trial］ were collected for comparison of laparoscopic transanal pull through surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery on the clinical efficacy of rectal cancer patients, the qualified literatures were screened in strict accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, and Stata12.0 software was used for statistical analysis.ResultsA total of 19 articles were included in the literature with 2 683 patients were included among them. Meta analysis results showed that, compared with the conventional laparoscopic surgery group, in laparoscopic transanal pull through surgery group, operation time [WMD=–6.78, 95% CI was (–11.96, –1.60), P<0.01], intraoperative blood loss [WMD=–14.94, 95% CI was (–23.48, –6.40),P<0.01], postoperative exhaust time [WMD=–13.55, 95% CI was (–18.24, –8.85), P<0.01], postoperative hospitalization time [WMD=–1.60, 95% CI was (–2.00, –1.21), P<0.01], incidence of postoperative overall complication [OR=0.50, 95% CI was (0.38, 0.67), P<0.01], and incidence of incision infection [OR=0.19, 95% CI was (0.08, 0.45), P<0.01] reduced. Those differences were not significant, such as intraoperative lymph node resection [WMD=–0.02, 95% CI was (–0.44, 0.40), P=0.92], incision margin distance of tumor [WMD=0.13, 95% CI was (–0.30, 0.55), P=0.56], and incidence of anastomotic fistula [OR=0.97, 95% CI was (0.62, 1.50), P=0.87].ConclusionsLaparoscopic transanal pull through surgery has more safe, effective, and reliable effects than conventional laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. It has further research value, but there may be inevitable bias and other effects in the included literatures, so more randomized controlled clinical trials are needed in the future.
ObjectiveTo compare clinical outcome between single-incision laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (SILSG) versus laparoscopy-assisted subtotal gastrectomy (LASG) in treatment of benign gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. MethodsClinical data of 37 patients with benign gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer who underwent laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy between Jan. 2008 and Feb. 2015 at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University was collected retrospectively. Among them, 15 patients underwent SILSG and 22 patients underwent LASG. Demographic, intraoperative, and postoperative data was analyzed and compared between the 2 groups. ResultsThe operative time of SILSG group was significantly longer than that of LASG group (P < 0.050). However, the postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter (P < 0.050), and the total patient scar assesment scale (PSAS) score was significantly lower (P < 0.050) in the SILSG group than those of LASG group. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with respect to other variables (P > 0.050), such as conversion rate, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative exhaust time, incidence of complication, and visual analog scale score of pain. All patients received postoperative follow up, and the period ranged from 6 months to 25 months, with a median of 11 months. During the follow up period, no one suffered from incision hernia and recurrence of ulcer. ConclusionCompared with LASG, SILSG is a technically feasible procedure with better cosmesis and equivalent curability.
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of different laparoscopic surgeries for ovarian endometrioma (OE). Methods Such databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2011), MEDLINE (1966 to November 2011), EMbase (1980 to November 2011), CNKI (1980 to November 2011), CBM (1980 to November 2011) and WanFang Data (1978 to November 2011) were searched on computer, and the relevant references of the included literature were also retrieved manually to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about laparoscopic cystectomy vs. laparoscopic coagulation for OE. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed quality. Then RevMan 5.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 5 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, laparoscopic cystectomy for OE could reduce the reocurrence rates of dysmenorrhoea (RR=0.29, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.55, P=0.000 2), dyspareunia (RR=0.27, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.77, P=0.01) and non-menstrual pelvic pain (RR=0.19, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.76, P=0.02), decrease 1-year (RR=0.33, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.74, P=0.007) and 2-year (RR=0.49, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.95, P=0.03) postoperative reoccurence of OE, and lower the risk of short-term secondary operation (RR=0.25, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.85, P=0.03). However, it didn’t increase the 12-month (RR=2.82, 95%CI 1.44 to 5.50, P=0.002) and 24-month (RR=2.62, 95%CI 1.47 to 4.68, P=0.001) postoperative spontaneous pregnancy rates (SPR). In addition, although laparoscopic coagulation was superior to laparoscopic cystectomy in the 6-month postoperative ovarian reserve function (ORF), there was no significant difference in the 5-year postoperative ORF between the two groups (WMD=0.27, 95%CI ?0.18 to 0.73, P=0.24). Conclusion Laparoscopic cystectomy for OE can reduce the reoccurence of dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, non-menstrual pelvic pain and endometriosis, decrease the risk of short-term secondary operation, and increase the postoperative SPR in women who had been diagnosed as infertility. Because of the quantity limitation of present clinical trials, this conclusion requires to be further proved by performing more high quality RCTs.
Objective To observe effects of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) technique on stress indicators in patients undergoing laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty patients underwent laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery (Dixon) in the Xinqiao Hospital of the Third Military Medical University were included in this study and then were randomly divided into an ERAS group (n=60) and a conventional treatment group (n=60). The patients in the ERAS group were treated with an ERAS concept during the perioperative period. The patients in the conventional treatment group were treated with a traditional treatment concept during the perioperative period. The stress indicators including white blood cell count (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels were compared in the two groups at admission, 1 h before operation, and 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after operation. The first postoperative anal exhaust time, the first postoperative defecation time, the total hospitalization time, and readmission rate were also recorded after operation. Results ① The age, gender, tumor diameter, and TNM stage had no significant differences in these two groups (P>0.05). ② There were no significant differences in the WBC, CRP and IL-6 levels at admission and 1 h before operation between the two groups (P>0.05). The levels of CRP, IL-6, and WBC in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after operation (P<0.05). ③ The first postoperative anal exhaust time, the first postoperative defecation time, and the total hospitalization time in the ERAS group were significantly shorter than those in the conventional treatment group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in readmission rate between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion ERAS concept is helpful in reducing stress response and could promote earlier recovery of patients with rectal cancer.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic magnetic compression cholangiojejunostomy (LMCCJ) with laparoscopic hand-sutured cholangiojejunostomy (LHSCJ). MethodsA retrospective case-control study was performed. From January 2019 to May 2022, 37 patients, who underwent laparoscopic treatment in this hospital, were enrolled in this study. There were 16 cases in the LMCCJ group and 21 cases in the LHSCJ group. The demographic information, procedure time to complete bilioenteric reconstruction, postoperative hospital stay, operative complications, magnets expulsion time, and follow-up results were collected and analyzed. ResultsThere were no statistical differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, composition of primary diseases, preoperative total bilirubin, and preoperative common bile duct diameter between the two groups (P＞0.05). The outer diameter of the magnets was (10.50±0.97) mm, the expulsion time of the magnets was (49.69±37.58) d, and the expulsion rate of the magnets was 100% (16/16). There was no intestinal obstruction or gastrointestinal perforation caused by the retention of the magnets. The procedure time to complete bilioenteric reconstruction in the LMCCJ group was statistically shorter than that in the LHSCJ group [(11.31±3.40) min vs. (24.81±3.40) min, t=11.96, P＜0.01]. There was no statistical difference in the total bilirubin level at the first week after surgery between the two groups (U=142.0, P=0.80). The postoperative hospital stay in the LMCCJ group was longer than that in the LHSCJ group [(28.31±14.11) d vs. (16.19±7.56) d, t=3.36, P＜0.01]. During the perioperative period, there was no bleeding or biliary infection in the two groups, but one case of biliary leak in the LHSCJ group. In all 37 patients were followed-up for (548.8±259.2) d. During the follow-up period, the incidence rates of biliary intestinal anastomosis stenosis, tumor recurrence, and mortality had no statistical differences between the two groups (P＞0.05). ConclusionFrom the results of comparative analysis in this study, it can be concluded that LMCCJ is not only safe equally, but also easier and less time-consuming as compared with LHSCJ.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic operation of gastric and gastroesophageal junction diseases. Methods Between May 2004 and June 2009, 59 patients with gastric and gastroesophageal diseases were treated laparoscopically. The operative methods and maneuvers were evaluated and perioperative interventions, complications and efficacy of patients were analyzed. Results All operations were successfully completed laparoscopically except for one patient with gastric cancer who required a conversion to open surgery. No short-term complications occurred in all cases. No port transplant metastasis occurred for the patients with gastric cancer after an average of 36 months (1-60 months) follow-up. One patient died of liver metastasis 12 months after operation. The 3-year survival rate was 93.3% (14/15). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery of the gastric and gastroesophageal junction diseases is feasible and safe with minimal invasiveness, which is worth popularizing.
ObjectiveTo explore the security and feasibility of simultaneous laparoscopic surgery for synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastasis (SCRLM). MethodThe data of 36 patients underwent simultaneous surgery for SCRLM in the Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected, and the perioperative outcomes, postoperative morbidity and survival were analyzed. ResultsThe surgical procedure of all 36 enrolled patients were accomplished. The operation time was (328.9±85.8) min. The intraoperative blood loss was 100 (50, 150) mL and 4 cases (11.1%) needed intraoperative transfusion. The time to first flatus was (2.9±0.8) d and the time to liquid diet was (3.2±1.0) d. The average postoperative VAS score was 1.9±0.3. The postoperative length of stay was (6.8±4.3) d, 5 (13.9%) cases developed postoperative complications, which were cured by conservative treatment. No severe complications and death occurred within 30 days after surgery. After a median follow-up of 24.7 months, 15 cases (41.7%) experienced recurrence or metastasis and 1 case (2.8%) died. The 1-, 2- and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 89.8%, 55.0%, 29.2%, respectively. The 1-, 2- and 3-year overall survival rates were 100.0%, 100.0%, 87.5%, respectively. There was no significant differences in disease-free survival rates (χ2=1.675, P=0.196) and OS (χ2=0.600, P=0.439) between patients with (n=26) or without (n=10) neoadjuvant. ConclusionsSimultaneous laparoscopic surgery seems to be a secure and feasible strategy for patients with SCRLM, with considerable survival benefits and short-term outcomes including small incision, little bleeding, quick recovery and low complication rate. More high-quality clinical studies are desirable in the future to further confirm the efficacy and safety of this operation.
