ObjectiveTo analyze short-term outcomes of hand assisted laparoscopic (HAL) D2 radical distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer and summarize clinical experiences. MethodsThe clinical data of 199 patients with gastric cancer undergoing D2 radical distal gastrectomy from December 2010 to December 2013 in this hospital were analyzed. HAL (HAL group, n=92) and traditonal open (TO group, n=107) D2 radical distal gastrectomy were performed. The operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph nodes harvested, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications were compared between these two groups. ResultsThere was no residue of cancer cells at the surgical margin in the HAL group and the TO group. Compared with the TO group, the average incision length was obviously shorter (P < 0.01) and the average intraoperative blood loss was obviously less (P < 0.05) in the HAL group. The average operation time, the average number of lymph nodes harvested, and the average postoperative hospital stay had no significant differences between the HAL group and the TO group (P > 0.05). One case was died of unknown gastrointestinal bleeding in the HAL group and the TO group, respectively. The postoperative complication rate was 9.78% (9/92) in the HAL group and 11.21% (12/107) in the TO group, there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). ConclusionsHAL D2 radical distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer don't increase operation time. It has some advantages of minimal invasion and safety as compared with traditional open surgery.
ObjectiveTo compare the safety and comfort of patients with or without postoperative gastric tube placement after esophageal cancer surgery, and analyze the cost and nursing time of gastric tube placement. Methods The patients with esophageal cancer undergoing minimally invasive surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2021 were enrolled. The patients were divided into a gastric tube indwelling group and a non gastric tube indwelling group according to whether the gastric tube was indwelled after the operation. The safety and comfort indicators of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 130 patients were enrolled. There were 66 patients in the gastric tube indwelling group, including 53 males and 13 females, aged 61.80±9.05 years and 64 patients in the non gastric tube indwelling group, including 55 males and 9 females, aged 64.47±8.00 years. Six patients in the non gastric tube indwelling group needed to place gastric tube 1 to 3 days after the operation due to their condition. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The subjective comfort of patients in the gastric tube indwelling group was significantly lower than that in the non gastric tube indwelling group (P<0.001), and the incidence of foreign body sensation in the throat of patients in the gastric tube indwelling group was higher than that in the non gastric tube indwelling group (P<0.001). The average nursing time in the gastric tube indwelling group was about 59.58 minutes, and the average cost of gastric tube materials and nursing was 378.24 yuan per patient. Conclusion No gastric tube used after operation for appropriate esophageal cancer patients will not increase the incidence of postoperative complications (pulmonary infection, anastomotic leakage, chylothorax), but can increase the comfort of patients, save cost and reduce nursing workload, which is safe, feasible and economical.
Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of Frey operation under laparoscopy in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis. Methods The clinical data of chronic pancreatitis patients who underwent laparoscopic Frey procedure in Division of Pancreatic Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from 2021-2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Eleven patients with chronic pancreatitis complicated with pancreatic duct stones were included in the study, 7 of whom had a history of diabetes and (or ) impaired glucose tolerance, suggesting that pancreatic endocrine function was impaired. The median diameter of the main pancreatic duct measured by imaging method was 8 mm (4–20mm). The median operative time was 188 min (120–368 minutes), and the total intraoperative bleeding volume was 50 mL (20–100 mL). Postoperative pancreatic fistula did not occur, one case of postoperative abdominal fluid accumulation and hypoproteinemia improved after symptomatic supportive treatment such as anti infection, acid and enzyme inhibition, and nutritional rehydration. Postoperative bleeding occurred in 3 cases, including 1 case of intestinal anastomotic bleeding, which was sutured again under emergency laparoscopic intestinal anastomosis to stop bleeding. The other two cases improved after conservative management such as blood transfusion, plasma, vitamin K, acid inhibition, enzyme inhibition and hemostatic drugs. The median postoperative hospitalization time was 7 days (4–18 days), and no patient mortality happened within 90 days after surgery. Conclusion Laparoscopic Frey operation is feasible and a relatively safe and effective method for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

Objective To study the causes of abdominal distension in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after laparoscopic hepatectomy, and to explore the corresponding treatment countermeasures. Methods A total of 186 patients with HCC were treated by laparoscopic hepatectomy in our hospital from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2020. Demographic characteristics [age, gender, body mass index (BMI), liver cirrhosis, child-Pugh classification of liver function], operative time, hilar occlusion time, intraoperative blood loss, scope of hepatectomy, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score and serological indexes (hemoglobin, serum albumin, white blood cell count, platelet count, serum potassium level) were collected retrospectively. The occurrence of postoperative abdominal distension was observed, and the patients were divided into abdominal distension group and non abdominal distension group. The independent influencing factors of abdominal distension after laparoscopic hepatectomy were analyzed, and the corresponding treatment countermeasures were discussed. Results A total of 138 patients developed varying degrees of abdominal distension after operation (74.19%), including 45 cases of mild abdominal distension, 53 cases of moderate abdominal distension, and 40 cases of severe abdominal distension. They were all included in the abdominal distension group, and the occurrence time of abdominal distension was mainly 1-5 days after operation. Forty-eight patients (25.81%) had no abdominal distension after operation and were included in the non-abdominal distension group. Univariate analysis results show that: the proportion of patients with abdominal distension combined with liver cirrhosis was significantly higher than that of the non-abdominal distension group (47.10% vs. 25.00%, P=0.007), the operative time [(143.54±23.48) min vs. (129.45±24.51) min, P=0.001], hilar occlusion time [(18.02±8.12) min vs. (15.38±7.28) min, P=0.048] were significantly longer than those of the non-abdominal distension group, the postoperative VAS score was significantly higher than that of the non-abdominal distension group [5.12±1.14 vs. 4.47±1.05, P=0.004], and the serum potassium level was significantly lower than that of the non-abdominal distension group [(3.12±0.38) mmol/L vs. (3.67±0.42) mmol/L, P＜0.001]. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that patients with liver cirrhosis [OR=1.520, 95%CI (1.104, 2.093), P=0.010], serum potassium level ＜3.40 mmol/L [OR=1.684, 95%CI (1.203, 2.357) , P=0.002], operative time ＞136 min [OR=1.842, 95%CI (1.297, 2.616) , P=0.001], hilar occlusion time ＞16.7 min [OR=1.492, 95%CI (1.047, 2.126) , P=0.027], VAS score ＞5 [OR=1.498, 95%CI (1.021, 2.198), P=0.039] were independent risk factors of abdominal distension after laparoscopic hepatectomy. Conclusions The risk factors of abdominal distension after laparoscopic hepatectomy were liver cirrhosis, serum potassium level ＜3.40 mmol/L, operative time ＞136 min, hilar occlusion time ＞16.7 min and VAS score ＞5. More attention should be paid to high-risk patients and effective treatment measures should be taken in time to reduce the risk of abdominal distension after surgery. For patients with abdominal distension, we should take effective measures to alleviate the symptoms of abdominal distension and promote the recovery of patients with abdominal distension.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of chronic pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.MethodsThe clinical data of 142 cases underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair from January 2013 to December 2017 in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe incidence of chronic pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair was 12.7% (18/142), and 83.3% (15/18) of the patients were located in the inguinal region. Univariate analysis showed that postoperative chronic pain rates were higher in patients receiving standard patch, large patch, mechanical fixation patch, and with postoperative complications (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that large patch [OR=1.82, 95% CI was (1.18, 5.36), P=0.023], mechanical fixation patch [OR=1.44, 95% CI was (1.07, 3.62), P=0.039], and postoperative complications [OR=2.53, 95% CI was (1.27, 7.31), P=0.011] were independent risk factors for postoperative chronic pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.ConclusionThe occurrence of chronic pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is the result of many factors, especially the complications and patch factors.
ObjectiveTo explore the methods of breast reconstruction surgery with laparoscopically harvested pedicled omental flap (LHPOF), and analyze the patient’ evaluation, operation process and postoperative follow-up. MethodsPatients with pathologically proven breast cancer or plasma cell mastitis who underwent LHPOF breast reconstructive surgery were retrospectively collected from the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from February 2022 to December 2023. ResultsA total of 16 patients were collected. The mean age of patients was 43.3 (ranging from 27 to 68) years old, the mean body mass index of patients was 23.0 kg/m2 (ranging from 18.3 to 28.6 kg/m2). One patient underwent transplant omental flat removal surgery due to postoperative flap thrombosis, and one patient choose to give up breast reconstruction due to insufficient flap volume. The single-stage surgery was performed successfully in the rest patients with no requirement of laparotomy. All patients made an uneventful recovery after surgery. During the follow-up period, which averaged 13 months and ranged from 9 to 17 months, the major symptoms were mild epigastric bulge (2 patients) and flap atrophy (1 patient), no serious flap-related or donor site-related complications such as flap loss, bowel dysfunction and abdominal incisional hernia. In general, the aesthetic results were satisfactory. ConclusionsUsing LHPOF in immediate breast reconstruction surgery can achieve satisfied aesthetic result, for the soft and natural appearance of the reconstructed breast. In the mean time, compared with other autologous tissue reconstruction approaches, LHPOF has lower incidences of complications of donor-site and flap-site.
ObjectiveTo evaluate feasibility of laparoscopic radical resection and re-resection for suspicious and incidental gallbladder cancer.MethodsWe searched PubMed and other databases, reviewed relevant literatures and summarized from aspects like whether efficacy comparable to laparotomy and enough lymph node dissection could be achieved through laparoscopy, timing of reoperation for incidental gallbladder cancer.ResultsLaparoscopic radical resection and re-resection were theoretically and technically feasible, but its efficacy and timing of re-resection were controversial, and its long-term efficacy needed further discussions in multi-center and large-scale cohort studies.ConclusionsLaparoscopy shows prospects of resection and re-resection for suspicious and incidental gallbladder cancer. Tentative explorations could be done in properly selected patients by well-experience medical centers and to achieve efficacy comparable to laparotomy is the fundamental principle.
ObjectiveTo analyze safety and feasibility of transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunting. MethodsThe clinical data of 36 patients who diagnosed as hydrocephalus underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunting from May 2013 to August 2015 in this hospital were collected. Twelve patients were performed transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunting (laparoscopy group) and 24 patients were performed laparotomy ventriculoperitoneal shunting (laparotomy group). The abdominal operation time, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pain score, and postoperative complications rate were compared between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group. ResultsAll the operations were completed successfully. Compared with the laparotomy group, the abdominal operation time (P < 0.05), postoperative exhaust time (P < 0.05), and postoperative hospital stay (P < 0.05) were significantly shorter, the postoperative pain score was significantly less (P < 0.05) in the laparoscopy group. The postoperative complications rate had no significant difference between the laparoscopy group and the laparotomy group (P > 0.05). ConclusionsThe preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic assisted ventriculoperitoneal shunting is safe and feasible, with better cosmetic. more comparative studies or randomized controlled trials are required to make a confirmed conclusion.
