The article reports 300 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in Chengdu General Hospital of P.L.A. from October 1992 to August 1993. 16 of 300 were converted to open procedure. The number of postoperative complication cases was 12(4%).
Objective To summarize the treatment experience for concomitant diseases of other abdominal organs in laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC）. Methods The clinical data of 176 patients with LC and concomitant diseases of other abdominal organs were analyzed retrospectively， including preoperatively diagnosed cases （such as 53 with liver cyst， 15 with choledocholithiasis， 7 with chronic appendicitis， 5 with inguinal hernia， 4 with renal cyst， and 6 with ovarian cyst） and intraoperatively diagnosed cases （such as 72 with abdominal cavity adhesion， 4 with internal fistula between gallbladder and digestive tract， 3 with Mirizzi syndrome， and 7 with unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma）. Results All the operation were successfully completed in 176 patients without severe complications， including 53 cases treated with LC plus fenestration of hepatic cyst， 15 with choledocholithotomy， 7 with appendectomy， 5 with tension free hernia repair， 4 with renal cyst fenestration， 6 with oophorocystectomy， 72 with adhesiolysis， 3 with fistula resection plus intestine neoplasty， 2 with intraoperative cholangiography plus choledocholithotomy， 5 with LC plus gallbladder bed complete burning， and 4 cases treated with conversion to open surgery （1 with intestinal fistula repair， 1 with choledocholithotomy， and 2 with radical resection for gallbladder carcinoma）. Conclusions It is safe and effective to treat gallbladder diseases complicated with other concomitant diseases simultaneously with laparoscopic operation， if the principles of surgical operation are followed and the indications and applicable conditions are strictly followed. And conversion to open surgery is necessary.
ObjectiveTo introduce the experience in diagnosing and treating cholecystoenteric fistula (CEF) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsFive cases with CEF in a series of 4 200 LC cases were reviewed.All of the five patients were proved to have CEF during operations.There were four cholecystoduodenal fistulas and one cholecystocolic fistula. One case with cholecystoduodenal fistula was treated by a suturing of the fistula under laparoscopy; 1 case was closed with titaniun and 2 cases were converted to laparotomy and fistulectomy.The patient with cholecystocolic fistula clips was treated by a suturing of the fistula under laparoscopy. ResultsAll the patients had got good recovery without complications.Conclusion CEF is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.If the diagnosis is made before operation, open operation might be a better choice.But if the diagnosis was made during the LC operation, suture closure or clip closure or stapler closure of CEF under laparoscope might be chosen for an experienced surgeon.
The aim of this study was to evaluate ultrasonic findings as predictor of potential operative difficulties and complications during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). From Auguest 1995 to December 1996 a total of 328 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis (92 males, 236 females, mean age 45±17 years) were examined by ultrasonography (US) 1 to 3 days before LC. The US examination assessed six paramenters: (GB) volume of gallbladder thichness of GB wal position of neck of GB, stone mobility, maximal size of stone, and GB adhesions. On the basis of these US findings, a predictive judgment of technical difficulties was expressed as easy, difficult, and very difficult. Two hundred and twenty five patients presented with uncomplicated symptomatic cholelithiasis, and 103 had acute cholecystitis. The operation was predicted to be easy in 38% of cases, difficult in 48% and very difficult in 14% with a good correlation with the surgeon’s intraoperative judgment (Ｐ＜0.01). A significant association was found between stone mobility (Ｐ＜0.01), presence of adhesions (Ｐ＜0.01) and the difficulty of the procedure. Our results suggest that preoperative US is a useful screening test for patients undergoing LC, and it can help predict technical difficulties during LC.
Objective To explore the application effects of innovative health education on patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods A total of 139 patients undergoing ambulatory LC from November to December 2016 were selected as the control group, receiving the traditional health education; and other 141 patients undergoing ambulatory LC from February to March 2017 were selected as the observation group, receiving the innovative health education. The two groups were followed up and observed 1 day, 2, and 28 days after the discharge, and the incidence rates of adverse reactions such as postoperative pain, bleeding and incision infection were measured, and the disease knowledge mastery, self-care skills, medication compliance and satisfaction to nursing and hospital were evaluated. Results The total incidence rate of adverse reactions was 7.8% in the observation group and 25.2% in the control group (P<0.001). Medication compliance from high to low was 90, 46 and 5 cases in the observation group and 59, 64 and 16 cases in the control group (P<0.001). In the observation group, the scores of disease knowledge mastery, self-care cognition, nursing satisfaction and hospital satisfaction were 93.4±5.5, 91.4±4.5, 96.4±3.7 and 98.1±3.7, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group (83.8±8.7, 83.2±9.1, 91.5±9.2 and 94.8±7.3, respectively) with statistical significance (P<0.001). Conclusion Innovative health education has certain application effects on ambulatory LC, and it can significantly improve disease knowledge mastery and self-care cognition, and help to ensure the medical quality and safety during perioperative period, and improve the patients’ satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) combined with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis in elderly patients and non-elderly patients. MethodsThe clinical data of 185 cases of cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis who treated in our hospital from September 2010 to November 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Then the 185 cases of holecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis were divided into elderly patients group (n=74) and the non-elderly patients group (n=111). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative activity time, abdominal drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay, hospitalization cost, incidence of complications, unplanned analgesia, stone-free rate, rate of conversion to laparotomy, recurrence of stone, and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results① Intraoperative and postoperative indexes. No significant difference was noted in operative time and intraoperative blood loss (P > 0.050), but the postoperative exhaust time, postoperative activity time, abdominal drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, total hospital stay, hospitalization cost, and ratio of indwelling T tube of elderly patients group were all higher or longer than corresponding index of non-elderly patients group (P < 0.050). ② Postoperative complications and unplanned analgesia. There was no striking discrepancy in incidence of complications (including biliary leakage, peritonitis, haemorrhage, vomit, ectoralgia, and fever), and Clavien-Dindo grade (P > 0.050), except unplanned analgesia (P=0.007), the rate of unplanned analgesia in elderly patients group was higher than that of non-elderly patients group. ③Surgical effect. There was no significant difference in the stone-free rate, rate of conversion to laparotomy, and rate of recurrence of stone between the 2 groups (P > 0.050). ConclusionLC+LCBDE is also safe and effective in treatment of cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis in elderly patients, it's worthy to be expanded and be used broadly.
Object To evaluate the significance of double common bile duct （DCBD） in hepatobiliary surgery. Metheds The data of diagnosis and treatment of two patients with DCBD in our hospital between Jul. to Dec. 2010 were analyzed retrospective， and the related literatures were reviewed. Results The right hepatic bile duct of DCBD due to mistaking it for cystic duct in 1 case was accidental injuried during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Another example，the DCBD was confirmed by intraoperative exploration and choledochoscopic examination， at the same time with chole-dochal cyst， anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal junction （APBDJ）， primary hepatolithus， and choledocholith， and then operation was performed. Two cases were typeⅤb of DCBD. A total of 32 English literatures were reviewed. Since the beginning of 1932 English literature had reported 100 cases of DCBD. The type Ⅱand typeⅢwere the most common type of DCBD， and the typeⅤonly 10 cases. There were 27 cases of DCBD in twenty-five Chinese articles from 1994 to 2012. The typeⅤwas the most common type of DCBD. The accessory common bile duct （ACBD） opening in the duod-enum， gastric， and pancreatic duct were the most common. The common complications included stone， APBDJ， choled-ochal cyst， tumor etc. Conclusions DCBD is a very rare anatomic variation of extrahepatic bile duct， often accompanied by calculus of bile duct and common bile duct cyst， APBDJ， and other biliary anatomy abnormality， and potentially carci-nogenic potential. The existence of DCBD may increase the risk of iatrogenic bile duct injury and complexity of biliary operation. In view of this， this abnormality of extrahepatic duct should be paid with close attention during operation.
【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.
Objective To explore the prevention and treatment of injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein in laparoecopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 27 hemorrhage cases of injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein in laparoscopic cholecystectomy from January 2008 to January 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 27 hemorrhage cases were successfully stopped bleeding under laparoscopy by the way of packing hemostasis （n=17）, clamping hemostasis （n=6）, and suturing hemostasis （n=4）. In the 3 hemostasis methods, the operating time and amout of bleeding in the cases with packing hemostasis was the shortest and the least, respectively, which was （90.26±12.46） min and （240.32±80.15）ml, respectively, but the differences of the 3 methods were not statistical significance （P＞0.05）. Conclusions During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, gallbladder bed should be seperated in the correct plane to avoid injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein. The most important to ensure surgery safety is applying the right surgical hemostasis method to stop bleeding quickly, and the open surgery will be the first choice in the right time when the difficult hemostasis occurs under laparoscopy.
Objective To explore the feasibility， operation method， and clinical application value of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy （TUSP-LC） in treatment for children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with benign gallbladder diseases from June 2009 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into TUSP-LC group （n=41） and convention three-port LC （CTP-LC group， n=23）. The operative time， intraoperative blood loss， conversion to CTP-LC or laparotomy， operative complications， and hospital stay were recorded. The pains were registered at 3，6，12，24，48， and 72h postoperatively using visual analog scale （VAS）. The patients were given satisfaction questionnaires with surgery at 6 time points （1 week， 2 weeks， 1 month， 3 months， 6 months， 12 months） during a 12 months follow-up. Results A total of 64 pediatric LCs were performed successfully， no patients were converted to laparotomy. Except for one case of incision infection in the CTP-LC group 〔4.35%（1/23）〕 and one case of incision infection and one case of ecchymoma in the TUSP-LC group 〔4.88% （2/41）〕， no other complications such as bile duct injury， bile leakage， and incision hernia happened， the total complication rate was not significant difference in two groups （P＞0.05）. The operative time 〔（47.54±18.71） min versus（45.33±10.58） min〕， intraoperative blood loss 〔（18.56±13.34） ml versus （17.28±12.53） ml〕， and hospital stay 〔（1.67±0.36） d versus （1.81±0.38） d〕were not significant differences in two groups （P＞0.05）. The VAS score was not statisticly significant within 24h in two groups （P＞0.05）， but which in the TUSP-LC group was significantly lower than that in the CTP-LC group after 24h postoperatively （P＜0.05）. During a 12 months follow-up， the score of satisfaction in the TUSP-LC group was significantly higher than that in the CTP-LC group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions TUSP-LC is a safe and feasible method in the children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. It can be performed with the same technical exposure and outcomes as multi-port laparoscopy， with the added benefit of relieving postoperative pain and little no scarring.
