ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of clinical pathway (CP) in patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsA retrospective, case-matched, and clinical controlled study was applied. We selected patients with acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) who were hospitalized in 363 Hospital and underwent LC between September 2012 and August 2013, and divided them into two groups (non-CP vs. CP:2 to 1) according to sex, age (±5), nation and complications. The indicators including length of stay (LOS), antibiotic usage and per-average hospital expenses were compared between groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software. ResultsA total of 1 044 patients were included, of which 348 were assigned to CP management (CP group), while the other 696 patients were 2 to 1 matched with those in the CP group. Compared to the non-CP group, the pre-operation LOS and total LOS in the CP group were shortened by 1.23 days and 2.08 days, respectively (P < 0.05); the per-average hospital expenses and per-average expenses of drugs in the CP group were decreased by ￥604.7 yuan and ￥287.5 yuan, respectively (P < 0.05); and the rate of antibiotic and non-restricted antibiotic usage in the CP group were dropped by 4.4% and 7.0%, respectively (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in efficiency, hospital-related infection rate, the incidence of adverse events, the restricted and special antibiotic usage rate (P > 0.05). The variation coefficient of patients included in the CP group was 15.8%, and the time which did not meet the admission requirement of CP was the main reason for this variation (27, 49.1%). ConclusionClinical pathway could shorten the LOS and cut down the total hospital expenses. However, multidisciplinary cooperation is still needed, and we should optimize the CP processes continuously and enhance the flexibility of CP, so as to improve the quality of medical service.
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.
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.
【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.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate prophylactic measures for nontraumatic complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods The data of 13 000 patients who underwent LC in Kunming general hospital of PLA over 13 years(1991-2004) were retrospectively reviewed. Results Nine malignant tumors and 47 common bile duct stones were missed at LC. The 9 malignant tumors included hepatic cancer (n=1), gastric cancer (n=1), gallbladder cancer (n=2), pancreatic cancer (n=2) and right colon cancer (n=3). Of all the carcinomas, 3 patients with right colon cancer underwent colectomy, the other 6 patients couldn’t be cured radically. All the 47 patients with choledocholithiasis were cured successfully, among them 31 patients were performed with ERCP and 16 were reoperated on with cholangiotomy. Conclusion This study emphasizes the necessity to analyze carefully patients’ symptoms before operation and pay attention to pathological changes of gallbladder and intraabdominal situation intraoperatively. If necessary, laparoscopic ultrosonography can be used to avoid missing malignant tumors and biliary stones.
Objective To investigate the method of single umbilical port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its feasibility. Methods The clinical data of 46 patients receiving single port umbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy in this hospital from December 2008 to February 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Fourty-six cases were operated successfully with ordinary laparoscopic instruments by single umbilical port laparoscopic cholecystectomy, all without drainage placed. Operative time was from 40 to 130 min, average 52.3 min; bleeding was from 10 to 150 ml, average 40.6 ml. No complications, such as biliary leakage, hemorrhage, umbilical hernia and infection of incisional wound happened. Postoperative abdominal wall scar was not obvious, 1-4 d hospitalization, from 2 weeks to 3 months following-up without disconnecting of incision. Conclusions The single umbilical port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible, with little abdominal wall scar, but difficult to perform, so it can be applied in hospitals with related conditions as improvements of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
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.
Objective To evaluate the use of fast track surgery （FTS） in the treatment for cholecystolithiasis combined with calculus of common bile duct （CBD） by combination of laparoscope and duodenoscope. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with cholecystolithiasis combined with calculus of CBD underwent laparoscopic cholecyst-ectomy （LC） and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） were divided into FTS group （n=55） and conventional group （n=65），which were accepted the perioperative therapy of FTS or conventional therapy，respectively. After operation，the incision pain，nausea and vomiting，infusion time，loss of body weight，out-of-bed time，dieting time，postoperative hospitalization，hospital costs，and complications were compared in two groups. Results Compared with the conventional group，the postoperative infusion time，dieting time，out-of-bed time，and postoperative hospitali-zation were shorter，the incidence rates of pulmonary infection，and urinary systems infection，pancreatitis，nausea and vomiting， and incision pain were lower，the loss of body weight was lower in the FTS group （P＜0.05），but the differences of WBC and serum amylase at 24 h after operation were not significant between the FTS group and conventional group（P＞0.05）. Conclusion The FTS is safe，economic，and effective in the treatment for cholecystolithiasis combined with calculus of CBD by combination of laparoscope and duodenoscope.
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) versus conventional multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CMLC). Methods We electronically searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2013), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on SILC versus CMLC from inception to January 1st, 2013. According to the Cochrane methods, the reviewers screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results Finally, 17 RCTs involving 1 233 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with CMLC, SILC was lower in 24 h postoperative pain score (visual analogue scale, VAS) (SMD= –0.40, 95%CI –0.76 to –0.04, P=0.03), higher in cosmetic results score (SMD=1.56, 95%CI 0.70 to 2.43, P=0.000 4), and longer in operative time (MD=13.11, 95%CI 7.06 to 19.16, Plt;0.000 1). However, no significant difference was found in 6 h postoperative pain scores (VAS), postoperative complications, port-site hernia and hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusion SILC is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of uncomplicated benign gallbladder diseases, and it has certain advantages compared with CMLC, which is recommended in clinical application.
ObjectiveTo investigate the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for gallbladder cancer.MethodThe clinical data of 52 patients with gallbladder cancer only underwent LC from January 1998 to December 2018 in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsFifty-two patients met the inclusion criteria were included, including 23 males and 29 females. The age was (67±12) years. Fifty-two patients were treated with LC because of gallbladder occupying or gallstone. Twenty-three patients were diagnosed as incidental gallbladder cancer after the surgery, while 29 patients were diagnosed as the gallbladder cancer before or during the operation. Eleven patients with T1a lesions received the close follow-up, the other 41 patients refused the radical operation due to the advanced age, severe underlying diseases or their own preferences. Five cases of postoperative complications were observed. All patients were followed-up for (40.2±33.8) months, 21 patients survived and 31 died. The dead patients had an older age, longer hospital stays, and later T stage (P<0.050) as compared with the living patients. The patients with T1a lesions had significantly longer survival time than those with T1b and above (113.5 months versus 39.6 months, P<0.001).ConclusionsLC is a radical operation in T1a lesions. At the same time, it can meet the requirements of postoperative life quality for some special patients due to its safety and low postoperative complication rate.
