ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of the tubal reconstruction after laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation by comparing with simple laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation. MethodsBetween May 2007 and May 2010, 63 patients with tubal pregnancy underwent laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation and tubal reconstruction in 30 cases (trial group) or simple laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation in 33 cases (control group). There was no significant difference in age, pregnancy time, and position between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The tube patency test and hysterosalpingography (HSG) were carried out to evaluate the efficacy. ResultsThe operation was successfully completed in 29 cases of trial group; 1 case had too severe adhesion to receive re-anastomosis and was excluded. The tube patency test showed that the tube was patency in 26 cases of trial group and in 2 cases of control group during operation, showing significant difference (Z=5.86, P=0.00); it was patency in 25 cases of trial group and in 26 cases of control group at 1 month after operation, showing no significant difference (Z=0.48, P=0.63). HSG examination showed tube was patency in 25 cases of trial group and in 2 cases of control group at 2 months after operation, showing significant difference (Z=5.35, P=0.00). After 24 months, intrauterine pregnancy of trial group (n=25, 86.20%) was significantly higher than that of control group (n=19, 57.58%) (χ2=7.72, P=0.01). ConclusionThe reconstruction after laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation can significantly increase the intrauterine pregnancy rate, and it is better than simple laparoscopic tubal pregnancy operation.
With the extensive application of laparoscopy in clinical surgery, the advantages of laparoscopic surgery such as less intraoperative bleeding, small and beautiful incision, and rapid postoperative recovery become increasingly prominent. However, prolonged use of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum or high CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure during laparoscopic surgery may cause subcutaneous emphysema and hypercapnia, in severe cases which may affect the quality of recovery and prognosis of patients. The use of a protective ventilation strategy during laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, a mechanical ventilation model of controlled hyperventilation, can reduce or avoid the effects of hypercapnia caused by prolonged CO2 pneumoperitoneum or high CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure. This article reviews the effects of laparoscopic CO2 pneumoperitoneum on patients, the application of controlled hyperventilation in laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia and the effects of controlled hyperventilation on patients. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for the safe and effective application of controlled hyperventilation in laparoscopic surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of laparoscopic surgery for abdominal trauma patients. MethodsClinical data of 65 patients with abdominal trauma who treated in Affiliated Laigang Hospital of Taishan Medical College from January 2010 to December 2014 were collected retrospectively, all patients were diagnosed by laparoscopic exploration, and therapies were depended on the results of laparoscopic exploration. ResultsOf the 65 patients, 60 patients were definitely diagnosed through laparoscopic exploration, but 5 patients transferred to laparotomy because of clear diagnosis was not achieved under laparoscopy. Of the 60 patients who were diagnosed clearly by laparoscopy, 23 patients didn't received any intervention because of no obvious injury observed, 27 patients received laparoscopic surgery (3 patients were assisted with hands), and 10 patients transferred to open operation because of peritoneal contamination. Incision infection occurred in 1 patient after operation, 1 patient suffered from subphrenic abscess, and other 63 patients didn't suffered from any complication. All of the patients were discharged successfully. All of the 65 patients were followed up for 2-48 months with the median time of 10 months. Severe complications did not occurred and no patient needed re-operation within the period of follow-up period. ConclusionsLaparoscopy is feasible, safe, and effective for the evaluation and treatment of abdominal trauma patients with stable hemodynamics, and it also has a higher diagnostic rate. Laparoscopy can also reduce the negative exploratory laparotomy for the abdominal trauma patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and surgical techniques of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 58 patients who underwent laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture between January 2009 and December 2014. ResultsAll the 58 patients underwent the surgery successfully. Operation time was 45-125 minutes, averaging 75 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was between 10 and 50 mL with an average of 20 mL. Postoperative hospital stay was 5-14 days with an average of 7 days. Four cases of biliary leakage were cured by conservative treatment. ConclusionWith operation indications strictly grasped and skillful operation techniques, laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and primary suture are safe and reliable with a good curative effect.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen. MethodsThe clinical data of 81 patients with acute abdomen treated in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsOf the 81 patients with acute abdomen, there were 38 cases of acute appendicitis, 15 cases of gastric perforation, 10 cases of duodenal ulcer perforation, 10 cases of acute cholecystitis, 1 case of mesenteric artery embolism, 2 cases of internal hernias, 2 cases of ileocecal tumor, 2 cases of sigmoid colon rupture, 1 case of intestinal adhesion. The 81 cases were treated by laparoscopy, including 79 cases (97.5%) were clearly diagnosed; 73 cases were succeeded by laparoscopy, and 8 cases converted to laparotomy. The operation time were 35-191 minutes, with an average of 76 minutes; the intraoperative blood loss were 20-130 mL, with an average of 43 mL; the postoperative hospital stay were 3-13 days, with an average of 5.6 days. Seventy-six patients received followed-up for 2-24 months, and the median time were 14 months, no special complications occurred during follow-up period, but 1 case of ileocecal tumor suffered from lung metastases in 12 months after operation. ConclusionsLaparoscopy can be used in the preferred way of diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen.
Objective To investigate the impact of conversion to open in laparoscopic rectal cancer radical resection (LRR) on postoperative recovery. Methods The data from Feb. 2003 to Feb. 2007 of 176 cases who were given LRR and 32 cases receiving conversion in LRR (CRR) were analyzed retrospectively, and were compared about operation time, hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses, intraoperative blood loss, recovery time of bowel movement and postoperative complications with 59 cases of open rectal cancer radical resection (ORR). Results There were no differences among LRR, CRR and ORR about operation time, hospitalization time, intraoperative blood loss and recovery time of bowel movement (Pgt;0.05). The hospitalization expenses of LRR and CRR were higher than that of ORR (P=0.001, P=0.001), there was no difference between CRR and LRR (P=0.843). But the postoperative complications rate of ORR was higher than those of LRR and CRR （P=0.023,P=0.004）. Conclusion Compared with ORR, LRR has relatively conversion rate, and then increases the hospitalization expenses.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) based on delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy in the treatment of gastric cancer. MethodsNinety patients with gastric cancer who treated in our hospital from December 2013 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-five patients with gastric cancer received delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy by using laparoscopic linear stapler after they were treated with TLDG and D2 lymphadenectomy (TLDG group), while 45 patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopic assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and D2 lymphadenectomy (LADG group). The operative time, digestive tract reconstruction time, blood loss, number of dissected lymph nodes, length of proximal and distal margin to the cancer, time of the first flatus, recovery time of drinking water, time of resuming semi-fluid diet, postoperative hospital stay, and complications during follow-up period were observed and evaluated. Results① Intraoperative findings. The operative time, digestive tract reconstruction time, and length of distal margin to the cancer of TLDG group were significantly longer than those corresponding index of LADG group (P < 0.050), but the blood loss was significantly less than that of LADG group (P < 0.050). There was no significant difference between two groups in proximal margin to the cancer and number of dissected lymph nodes (P > 0.050). ② Postoperative findings. There was no significant difference between two groups in time of the first flatus, recovery time of drinking water, time of resuming semi-fluid diet, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of complication (P > 0.050). All patients were followed for 6-16 months (median with 10 months), and there was no one suffered from recurrence, anastomotic stricture, and anastomotic obstruction. ConclusionThe TLDG based on delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy in the treatment of gastric cancer was feasible and safe, and it will be an ideal method for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with gastric cancer, so it is worthy to clinical application.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the security and feasibility of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site cholecystectomy (TULESC) with conventional laparoscopic instruments. MethodsThe clinical data of 62 adult patients undergoing TULESC between October 2011 and June 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 13 males and 49 females aged between 22 and 70 years old averaging 40±15. Forty-nine patients suffered from chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis, 10 from asymptomatic cholelithiasis and 3 from cholecystic polyposis. A single arc incision was cut on the edge of the umbilicus, and two 10 mm Trocars and one 5 mm Trocar were placed by puncture. Cholecystectomy was performed with conventional laparoscopic instruments and equipment. ResultsAll the 62 patients underwent TULESC successfully without severe complications such as bile leakage or biliary injury. The operation time was 20-70 minutes with the average of (40±15) minutes; The blood loss was 5-40 mL with the average of (15±10) mL. All the patients were discharged from the hospital within 3 to 7 days after surgery, averaging 4.0±1.0. During the 1 to 12-month follow-up (averaging 3 months), there was no obviously visible scars on the abdominal wall and the aesthetic effect was significant. ConclusionTULESC with conventional laparoscopic instruments and equipment is safe, feasible and cosmetic.
Objectives To analyze the risk factors of uterine rupture in pregnancy in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital in recent years. Methods The clinical data of pregnant uterine rupture patients who were hospitalized in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 were collected. The risk factors of uterine rupture in pregnancy were analyzed compared with the maternal delivery during the same period. The SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 69 patients with uterine rupture were included, involving 14 cases of complete uterine rupture and 55 cases of incomplete uterine rupture. Compared with the pregnant females who were hospitalized during the same period, the incidence of uterine rupture in patients with scar uterus after cesarean section, history of laparoscopic hysterosalping surgery, placental implantation, twins and uterine malformation was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Among them, the risk of uterine rupture was greater in the interpregnancy interval (IPI)>24 months after cesarean section in patients with scar uterus. There was no significant difference in the incidence of uterine rupture between the elderly and the multiple pregnant females and the maternal delivery during the same period (P>0.05). Conclusions Scar uterus (postoperative cesarean section), history of laparoscopic hysterosalping surgery, placental implantation, twins, and uterine malformation are possible risk factors for uterine rupture in pregnancy. Among them, patients with scar uterus have a greater risk of uterine rupture with IPI>24 months.
Laparoscopy has become a commonly used approach to diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen, and it has good diagnostic value and therapeutic effect in selective cases. It should be practiced by experienced surgeons in laparoscopic surgery and emergency abdominal surgery. Hemodynamic instability, severe abdominal distension, fecal peritonitis, and tumor perforation are contraindications to laparoscopy. In recent years, more and more acute abdominal diseases can be successfully treated by laparoscopy. Randomized controlled trials have proved the laparoscopic treatment in acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, peptic ulcer perforation, acute gynecological diseases was comparable to open surgery, and had advantages of fewer complications and faster postoperative recovery. The utilization of laparoscopy in other diseases such as blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma, small intestinal obstruction, and diverticulitis with perforation remains controversial, and needs more randomized controlled trials to investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery.
