Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of suturesuspension single hole laparoscopic cholecystectomy and traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the treatment of gallbladder disease. Methods A total of 86 cases who got treatment in our hospital from February 2014 to July 2015 were collected prospectively, and then 86 cases were divided into 2 groups: 43 cases of control group underwent LC and 43 cases of experimental group underwent suturesuspension single hole laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were compared. Results ① Complication. No one suffered from bile duct injury, bile leakage, bile duct stricture, and umbilical hernia; but there were 2 cases suffered from complications in control group, including 1 case of abdominal pain and 1 case of bloating, and the morbidity was 4.65% (2/43). The morbidity of experimental group was 0, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the morbidity (P>0.05). During the follow-up period, 1 case suffered from long-term compilation in experimental group, and 2 cases in normal group, there was no significant difference in the long-term complication between the 2 groups (P>0.05). ② Operation and hospitalization. The blood loss and operation time in the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the hospital stay and hospitalization cost between the 2 groups (P>0.05). ③ Postoperative electrolytes, liver and kidney function. The levels of Na+ and K+ in the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and the levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were lower than those of control group (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in the blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine between the 2 groups (P>0.05). ④ The recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery. The anal exhaust time and bowel sounds recovery time in experimental group were shorter than those of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Suturesus-pension single hole laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the treatment of gallbladder disease is safe, effective, and minimally invasive, and it has little disturbance on gastrointestinal function and liver function, which is worthy of clinical application.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in same-day surgery model. MethodsThe patients who underwent LC at West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University from November 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024, were retrospectively reviewed. The enrolled patients were divided into a same-day surgery LC group and a conventional inpatient LC group. In the same-day surgery group, a same-day discharge protocol was implemented, whereby patients were admitted, operated on, and discharged on the same day, with discharge required no later than 21:00 without an overnight stay. The conventional inpatient group was managed according to the conventional model. A comparison was carried out between the two groups concerning baseline characteristics, perioperative outcomes, surgery-related complications, postoperative urinary retention, total length of stay, hospitalization costs, and 30-day follow-up results. ResultsA total of 347 patients were included, comprising 164 in the same-day surgery LC group and 183 in the conventional inpatient LC group. No statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) were found between the two groups in the following terms: total anesthesia time, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluid infusion, length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), fluid infusion in the PACU, placement of abdominal drains, visual analog scale pain score at discharge, rates of unplanned revisits due to changes in their disease conditionwithin 30 d after discharge, readmission rates, and the incidence of surgery-related complications. All complications in both groups were graded as Clavien-Dindo Ⅰ. The same-day surgery LC group demonstrated significantly lower preoperative fluid infusion, postoperative fluid infusion, total hospitalization costs, and a shorter total length of stay compared to the conventional inpatient LC group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the incidence of postoperative urinary retention was significantly lower in the same-day surgery LC group (P<0.05). ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that same-day surgery LC is a safe and feasible approach for appropriately selected patients. Its outcomes in key perioperative safety metrics are comparable to those of the conventional inpatient LC model, while it offers the significant advantages of effectively reducing the length of hospital stay, lowering medical costs, and decreasing the incidence of certain postoperative complications.
ObjectiveTo investigate the socioeconomic benefits of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in perioperative period of selective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) by prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study.MethodsA total of 90 patients were recruited in the Hetian Regional People’s Hospital from November 1, 2019 to December 25, 2019. PASS 11 software was used to calculate the sample size. They were grouped into an ERAS group and a tradition group by 1∶1 by random digital table. The patients in the ERAS and the tradition groups were treated with ERAS conception and traditional method respectively during the perioperative period. The postoperative hospitalization time, the first feeding time, the first getting out of bed time, and the first anal exhaust time after operation; the total hospitalization costs, intraoperative infusion, and postoperative total infusion; the intraoperative anesthesia intubation method, trocar layout, and operation time; the pain points of 6 h,12 h and 24 h after operation; the nausea and vomiting after operation; complications and re-hospitalization rate within 30 d after operation were compared between two groups.ResultsA total of 86 patients finally were included in the study, including 44 cases in the ERAS group and 42 cases in the tradition group. The basic data such as the gender, age, body mass index, etiology, blood routine, liver and kidney functions, etc. between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Between the two groups, there were no significant differences in the intraoperative anesthesia intubation method, trocar layout, and operation time (P>0.05). Compared with the tradition group, the hospitalization time, the first feeding time, the first getting out of bed time, and the first anal exhaust time after operation were shorter (P<0.05); the total hospitalization costs, intraoperative infusion, and postoperative total infusion were less (P<0.05); the pain points of 6 h,12 h and 24 h after operation were lower (P<0.05); and the times of nausea and vomiting after operation were less (P<0.05) in the ERAS group. There were no complications such as the intraperitoneal bleeding, biliary leakage, and infection after operation, and no re-hospitalized patients within 30 d in both groups.ConclusionApplication of ERAS conception in selective LC perioperative period in Hetian Regional People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region cannot only shorten postoperative hospitalization time, reduce costs of hospitalization, help to overcome poverty, but also reduce occurrence of complications such as pain, nausea and vomiting, etc.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of preoperative jaundice on the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative biliary stone removal in patients with common bile duct stones.MethodsA total of 104 patients with choledocholithiasis who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with intraoperative biliary stone removal for common bile duct stones in Baishui County Hospital and No.215 Hospital of Shaanxi Nuclear Industry between January 2014 and February 2016 were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the jaundice group (43 cases) and the jaundice-free control group (control group, 61 cases) according to the preoperative serum total bilirubin level. The differences in postoperative complication rates between the two groups were compared and risk factors affecting postoperative complications were explored.ResultsThe ALT and total bilirubin on the first day after operation in the jaundice group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the hospital stay in the jaundice group was shorter than that of the control group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of total postoperative complication rate and the incidence of complications (included biliary leakage, ballistic hemorrhage, hyperthermia, incision complications, and other complications) between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in Clavien-Dindo classification, comprehensive complication index (CCI), and ratio of CCI≥20 (P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that male and residual stones were independently associated with postoperative complications (P<0.05), but there was no statistical correlation between preoperative jaundice and postoperative complications (P>0.05).ConclusionPreoperative jaundice does not increase the risk of complications after acute laparoscopic surgery in patients with common bile duct stones.
Objective To explore the nursing effect of using Neiguan acupoint massage combined with chewing gum in patients undergoing day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods A prospective study was conducted on patients who underwent day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2023 and March 2024. The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group according to a random number table. The control group received routine care, while the intervention group received chewing gum and Neiguan acupoint massage intervention at the P6 acupoint in addition to routine care. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), pain scores, gastrointestinal function recovery time, medication use, and hospitalization related indicators were compared between the two groups of patients after surgery. Results A total of 298 patients were included. Among them, there were 163 cases in the control group and 135 cases in the intervention group. The incidence of PONV at 0.5 and 2 hours after surgery and the pain scores at 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The first bowel sounds recovery time, anal exhaust time, and eating time in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). Twenty-four hours after surgery, the usage rate of analgesic drugs (6.67% vs. 14.11%) and the usage rate of rescue antiemetic drugs (2.96% vs. 8.59%) in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the delayed discharge rate or total cost between the two groups (P>0.05). The nursing satisfaction of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group (99.26% vs. 93.25%, P<0.05). Conclusions After the combination of Neiguan acupoint massage and chewing gum intervention in patients undergoingin day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the PONV incidence and pain are significantly reduced, gastrointestinal functions recover faster, drug use rate is low, patient nursing satisfaction is high. This method can be promoted and applied.
ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) plus laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) with LC plus endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for patients with concomitant cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis by using meta-analysis.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Cochrane Library、EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Science and Technology Academic Journal, Chinese Journal Full-text Database and Wanfang database to identify relevant articles from their inception to 31 October 2018. A meta-analysis was carried out using the RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 13 RCTs were included in this meta-analysis, 747 cases received LC+LCBDE and 761 cases underwent LC+ERCP. The meta-analysis results showed that no significant difference between the LC+LCBDE group and the LC+ERCP group in terms of common bile duct (CBD) stone clearance rate [RR=0.99, 95%CI (0.95, 1.02), P=0.87] and overall complications [RR=0.94, 95%CI (0.72, 1.22), P=0.64]. The LC+LCBDE group had higher rate of postoperative bile leakage rate [RR=3.87, 95%CI (2.01, 7.42), P<0.000 1] than that LC+ERCP group. However, the LC+LCBDE group had lower rate of postoperative pancreatitis [RR=0.28, 95%CI (0.14, 0.55), P=0.002] than that LC+ERCP group.ConclusionsBoth LC+LCBDE and LC+ERCP are equivalent in CBD stone clearance rate and overall complications, LC+LCBDE is associated with a higher postoperative bile leakage rate and lower rate of postoperative pancreatitis, appropriate treatment should be selected according to the individual patient’s condition.
Objective To explore whether bundled care for anesthesia management can reduce the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Methods The data of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients admitted to the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between July and November 2021 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a bundled care group and a control group based on whether anesthesia management was implemented according to the bundled care. The demographic characteristics, intraoperative anesthesia management methods, postoperative conditions, and incidence of PONV between the two groups of patients were analyzed and compared. Results A total of 314 patients were included. Among them, there were 124 cases in the bundled care group and 190 cases in the control group; PONV occurred in 52 cases, the incidence of PONV was 16.6% (52/314). Except for surgical time and postoperative incision infiltration (P>0.05), there were statistically significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, anesthesia time, airway establishment, and postoperative analgesic use between the two groups of patients (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of PONV between the bundled care group and the control group (17 vs. 35 cases; χ2=1.205, P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that PONV was correlated with gender [odds ratio=0.107, 95% confidence interval (0.030, 0.375), P<0.001], and using bundled care [odds ratio=0.388, 95% confidence interval (0.169, 0.894), P=0.026]. Conclusions Women are at high risk of PONV among patients undergoing day laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The risk of PONV is lower when using bundled care.
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) combined with early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the treatment of elderly patients with high-risk acute cholecystitis.MethodsThe clinical data of 128 elderly patients with high-risk acute cholecystitis admitted to Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery in Dazhou Central Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 62 patients underwent PTGBD combined with early LC treatment (PTGBD+early LC group), 66 patients underwent PTGBD combined with delayed LC treatment (PTGBD+delayed LC group). Comparison was performed on the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, conversion to laparotomy rate, postoperative indwelling time, postoperative hospitalization time, total hospitalization time, and complication.ResultsPTGBD was successfully performed in all patients, and the symptoms were relieved within 72 hours. There was no significant difference in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, conversion to laparotomy rate, postoperative indwelling time, postoperative hospitalization time, and total complication rate between the two groups (P>0.05), but the total hospitalization time of the PTGBD+early LC group was shorter than that of the PTGBD+delayed LC group (P<0.001). There was no second operation and death in both two groups. The 128 patients were followed-up for 2–50 months with a average of 19 months. Results of follow-up after operation showed that the patients did not complain of obvious abdominal pain, abdominal distension, chills, fever, jaundice, and other discomforts.ConclusionsFor elderly patients with high-risk acute cholecystitis, early LC is a safe and effective treatment for patients with good overall condition after PTGBD. It can not only shorten the total hospitalization time, but also significantly shorten the time of tube-taking and improve the quality of life of patients. It has important clinical application value.
Objective To explore the feasibility of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the treatment of acute cholecystitis, and to provide evidence based medicine for clinical treatment. Methods A total of 160 cases of acute cholecystitis who received treatment in our hospital from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2015 were randomly divided into single incision group (n=80, received single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy) and three incisions group (n=80, received three incisions laparoscopic cholecystectomy). The clinical and laboratory indexes were compared between the 2 groups. Results Compared with the three incisions group, there were statistically significant differences in the operation time, incision pain score, and subjective satisfaction, which were better in single incision group (P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in the blood loss, bed time, anal exhaust time, recovery time of intestinal peristalsis, hospitalization time, incidence of complication (including abdominal infection, bile duct injury, biliary fistula, and incision infection), ratios of T cell subsets (including CD3, CD4, and CD8 T cell), levels of immunoglobulin (including IgA, IgG, and IgM), and level of C reactive protein (P>0.05). Conclusions The effectiveness of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is as good as three incisions laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but this single incision laparoscopic surgery is difficult, and its indications should be cautious. Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is more suitable for patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy.
Objective To investigate the effect of postoperative sleep disturbance by infusion of low dose esketamine during ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia in General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between August and November 2024 were selected. They were randomly divided into esketamine group and control group based on a random number generator. Patients in the esketamine group received a continuous infusion of esketamine [0.3 mg/(kg·h)] during the operation. Patients in the control group received the equivalent volume of saline. The scores of the Athens Insomnia Scale on the first day before surgery, the first day after surgery, and the third day after surgery, the incidence of sleep disturbance and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score on the first day and the third day after surgery, mean artial pressure and heart rate during surgery, operation time, anesthesia time, recovery time, total dosage of remifetanil and vasoactive drug, postoperative adverse reactions, and the Visual Analogue Scale score on the day of surgery and the first day after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 105 patients were included, including 52 in the control group and 53 in the esketamine group. The differences were statistically significant in the incidence of sleep disorders on the first day after surgery (22.64% vs. 46.15%; χ2=6.440, P=0.011), the Athens Insomnia Scale score on the first day after surgery [4 (1.5, 5) vs. 5 (4, 7); Z=−2.933, P=0.003] , the cumulative amount of remifentanil used during surgery [884 (600, 1 112) vs. 572 (476, 872) μg; Z=−2.774, P=0.006], and the Visual Analogue Scale score on the day of surgery [2 (2, 3) vs. 3 (2, 3); Z=−2.488, P=0.013] between the esketamine group and the control group. There was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure, heart rate, operation time, anesthesia time, recovery time, vasoactive drug dosage, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score or incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion Continuous intraoperative infusion of low dose esketamine can improve postoperative sleep disturbance, without increasing the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
