【Abstract】Objective To investigate the effects and advantages of laparoscopic hernioplasty for hernia. Methods From June 1995 to June 2005, 222 patients with hernia were treated with laparoscopy. Transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) were performed in 166 patients. Totally extraperitoneal hernia repair(TEP) were performed in 25 patients. Closure of the internal orifice of hernia was performed in 21 patients. Furthermore, incisional hernia in 2 patients, diaphragmatic hernia in 1 patient and mesenteric hernia in 1 patient were performed by laparoscopic hernioplasty and 6 patients with hernia of oesophagus finestra performed hernioplasty combined collapse gastric fundus with laparoscopy. In this series 45 patients associated with other abdominal disease were simultaneously treated with laparoscopy. Results All cases were operated successfully. The span of operation reduration was 42.5 min 〔(10～180 min)〕. The average length of postoperative hospital stay were 4.6 days. There was one early failure owing to the use of too small a piece of mesh.Conclusion The results indicate that mesh repair of hernias is a satisfactory technique with a low recurrence rate and a low major complication rate.
Objective To explore the effect of gallbladder preserving surgery with laparoscope and choledochoscope.Methods The data of 60 cases of gallbladder preserving surgery with laparoscope and choledochoscope （observation group） and carried out with the same period 61 cases of small incision gallbladder preserving surgery （control group） between June 2008 to January 2013 were retrospective analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for （18±2.4）months （6-36 months）. The intraoperative blood loss， postoperative gallbladder hemorrhage rate， gallbladder dysfunctionrate， postoperative hospitalization time， stone recurrence rate， and reoperation rate in observation group were less orlower or shorter than the control group （P＜0.05）. The operative time and hospital costs in observation group were longeror higher than that of the control group （P＜0.05）. The rest of the observation index of two groups were no significant differences （P＞0.05）. Conclusions The gallbladder preserving surgery with laparoscope and choledochoscope is safeand feasible in technique level， and the short-term effect after operation is better. But the operation indications must be controlled strictly. The long-term efficacy needs further accumulation of cases and collect enough evidence to verify.
ObjectiveTo explore the curative effect and value of laparoscopic operation in the treatment of acute gangrenous and perforated appendicitis. MethodsThe clinical data of 243 patients with acute gangrenous and perforated appendicitis from February 2011 to February 2014 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Laparoscopic appendectomy was performed in 118 cases (LA group), and open appendectomy was performed in 125 cases (OA group). The operative time, hospital stay, hospital costs, incision bleeding, gastrointestinal function recovery, wound infection, pelvic abscess, and postoperative adhesions of two groups were compared. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the operative time, incision bleeding, and the incidence of pelvic abscess after operation between the LA group and OA group (P>0.05). Compared with the OA group, the recovery time of gastrointestinal function was significantly shortened (P<0.01), eating time was earlier (P<0.01), hospitalization time also shortened significantly (P<0.01), and the incidence of postoperative wound infection and intestinal adhesion were significantly decreased (P<0.01) after operation in LA group. But the cost of hospitalization in LA group increased significantly (P<0.05). ConclusionsThe laparoscopic operation in the treatment of gangrenous and perforated appendicitis are light of pain., recover quickly, shorter of hospital stay, and fewer complications. The increase of hospitalization expenses is the only deficiency.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and security of laparoscopic Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD)or laparoscopic pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPPPD)for the patients with periampullary diseases, estimate the ratio of postoperative complications between LPD and LPPPD. MethodsFourty-five patients who underwent the LPD or LPPPD from January 2010 to March 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. These patients were divided into LPD group and LPPPD group basing on the Whipple or polyrus preservation. ResultsAmong these 45 patients, 25 patients were performed the LPD, the other 20 patients were performed the LPPPD. There were 25(55.56%)complications after operation, including 10 cases of pancreatic fistula, 1 case of bile leakage, 6 cases of delayed gastric emptying, 3 cases of infection, 2 cases of stomach intestine stomatorrhagia, 1 case of mesenteric venous thrombosis, 1 case of ascites, 1 case of chylous fistula. The complication rate had no significant difference between two groups. One patient died after operation in the LPPPD group. ConclusionLaparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe and feasible in the treatment of periampullary diseases, the LPPPD could partly prevent the occurrence of reflux of the digestive juice following the resection of pylorus and improve the quality of life.
Objective To explore surgical technique and clinical outcome of transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) in inguinal hernia repair. Methods 〗The clinical data of 23 patients underwent laparoscopic herniorrhaphy were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were underwent TAPP, and 14 patients underwent TEP. Results 〗None of patients was changed to open operation. Only one patient of TEP was changed to TAPP. Average operative time was (82.1±40.6) min. Blood loss was (5.7±3.0) ml. Disruption of peritoneum happened to 2 patients underwent TEP. The rate of postoperative complications was 21.7% (5/23), which included serum swelling (1 case), scrotal emphysema (2 cases), transient neurapraxia in the area of repair (1 case) and urinary retention (1 case). No chronic pain, foreign body sensation and infection were found. Average hospitalization after operation was (4.3±0.9) d. No recurrence was observed during a follow-up period of 1-15 months. Conclusion 〗Laparoscope herniorrhaphy is safe due to lower recurrence and complications. It also has the advantages of slight pain and rapid recovery.
Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic-assisted transanal everted pull-through resection and anastomosis in the treatment for ultra-low rectal cancer （the inferior margin of the tumor from the anal margin of less than 5cm）. Methods From December 2006 to December 2009，46 patients with ultra-low rectal cancer had been undergone laparoscopic-assisted transanal everted pull-through resection and anastomosis. The intraoperative condition，postoperative complications，and the result of follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. Results The operation was successfully performed on all the patients. The intraoperative blood loss was （202±56） ml （100-290m1）. The time of recovery of gastrointestinal function was （60±16） h （36-82 h）. No anastomotic bleeding or stomal leak was observed. All the patients were followed-up for （31±5） months （21-45months），15 patients developed mild to moderate anastomotic stricture，1 local recurrence， and 2 liver metastasis. All the patients had no anal incontinence 10months after stoma closure operation， the defecation of all the patients became normal （4.5±1.2） months（2-10months） later. Conclusions Laparoscopic-assisted transanal everted pull-through resection and anastomosis for ultra-low rectal cancer is safe and feasible， and the effect is satisfactory.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect of laparoscopic assisted and open D2 radical resection in treatment of advanced gastric cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of 76 cases performed by laparoscopic assisted D2 radical resection (laparoscopic group) and 104 cases performed by open operation (open group) from October 2010 to October 2012 in our center were retrospective analized.Operation related index, postoperative recovery, and extent of radical resection of tumor of 2 groups were compared. ResultsThe operative time of the laparoscopic group[(192.5±14.8) min]was longer than that open group[(171.5±16.5) min, P < 0.05].But the blood loss, postoperative drainage, length of incision, and hospital stay of the laparoscopic group were significantly less or shorter than those of open group (P < 0.05).There were no significant difference in postoperative complications and extent of radical resection of tumor between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).There were no residual tumor in distal margin and operatiive death case in both 2 groups. ConclusionComparing with open operation, the laparoscopic assisted surgery for advanced gastric cancer could achieve the same clinical outcomes, and obvious advantage of minimal invasion.
Objective To discuss the clinical application of totally laparoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative removed the specimen through the oral in treatment for gastric stromal tumor. Methods The clinical data of 20 patients diagnosed gastric stromal tumor and performed totally laparoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative removed the specimen through the oral in treatment for gastric stromal tumor from January 2007 to August 2009 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the cases were performed successfully laparoscopic operation. The operation time was （110±35） min， intraoperative bleeding was （60±15） ml，postoperative hospital stay was （6.5±1.2） d. No postoperative complications occurred. There were 19 cases no relapse during 0.5-2.5 years with (1.8±0.2) years of follow-up. One patient with recurrence was performed the laparoscopic proximal subtotal gastrectomy. Conclusions Totally laparoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative removed the specimen through the oral in treatment for gastric stromal tumor is safe， feasible， and minimally invasive for patients due to its clearness of dissection， less bleeding， and removed the specimen through natural channel.
ObjectiveTo investigate effect of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy on gastrointestinal motility and gastrointestinal hormones in patients with gastric cancer. MethodsTwo hundred and eighty-nine patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy from December 2013 to December 2015 were selected as observation group, 325 patients underwent laparotomy radical gastrectomy during the same period were selected as control group. The postoperative bowel sounds recovery time, the first anal exhaust time, and gastrin, motilin and vasoactive intestinal peptide levels in blood at 12 h before operation and at 24 h after operation were compared between these two groups. ResultsThe baselines had no significant differences between these two groups (P > 0.05). The postoperative bowel sounds recovery time and the first anal exhaust time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the levels at 12 h before operation, the gastrin and motilin levels were significantly decreased and the vasoactive intestinal peptide level was significantly increased at 24 h after operation in these two groups (P < 0.05); Compared with the control group, the gastrin and motilin levels at 24 h after operation were significantly increased (P < 0.05) and the vasoactive intestinal peptide level was significantly decreased in the observation group (P < 0.05). ConclusionsPostoperative gastrointestinal motility recovery time in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is significantly faster than that of laparotomy radical gastrectomy. There is a certain relation between gastrin, motilin or vasoactive intestinal peptide change and operation mode, it might be one of mechanisms of faster recovery of gastrointestinal motility after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Objective To explore the important role of preperitoneal space in laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal （TAPP） and totally extraperitoneal （TEP） hernia repair. Methods The clinical data of 66 patients （78 sides） performed laparoscopic TAPP and TEP hernia repair from January 2008 to April 2011 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results TAPP hernia repair were performed in 16 cases （20 sides），TEP hernia repair were performed in 50 cases （58 sides）. Three cases of TEP hernia repair transferred to TAPP hernia repair. The unilateral operation time was （86.92±36.38） min，intraoperative bleeding was （6.08±3.43） ml. Postoperative complication rate was 16.7% （11/66），including 3 cases of postoperative serum swelling，3 cases of temporary paraesthesia of nerve feeling in the repair area，2 cases of scrotum emphysema，2 cases of urinary retention，and 1 case of intestinal obstruction. There were 2 cases of recurrence. The hospital stay was （4.52±0.99） d. The return to activities and working time was （10.32±1.86） d after discharge. Sixty-six cases were followed up for （18.56±1.96） months （range 1-38 months），the patch infection，chronic pain，and testicular atrophy complications were not been observed. Conclusions Acquainting and mastering laparoscopic preperitoneal space and its important structure are the key to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications of laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
