ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility of fishing net repairing transverse fascia method for inguinal hernia (type Ⅰ , Ⅱ ) using laparoscopic surgical procedure. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data between the method of fishing net repairing transverse fascia surgery for 145 cases of inguinal hernia (typeⅠ,Ⅱ ) using laparoscopic surgical procedure from May 2004 to May 2008 (laparoscopic group) and the method of open repairing surgery 143 cases (open group) at the same period were conducted. The differences in the operative time, rehabilitation activities time, length of stay, cost of hospitalization and 0comphcations, recurrence rate were compared. Results The laparoscopic group was significantly better in the operative time [ ( 14.8 ± 11.5) min ], found hiding oblique hernia ( 15 cases), rehabilitation activities time[ ( 16.5 ± 14.3) h], use of analgesics(5 cases), scrotal edema(1 case), length of stay[ (4.2 ± 1.5) d], than those of the open group [ ( 37.6 ± 25.4) min, 0, (52.7 ± 12.6) h, 13, 14, ( 8.4 ± 2.6 ) d respectively ] ; but the recurrence rate was no significantly different. Conclusion Method of fishing net repairing transverse fascia for inguinal hernia (type Ⅰ , Ⅱ ) using laparoscopie surgical procedure is feasible.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the treatment effect of laparoscopic appendectomy(LA) and open appendectomy (OA). Methods One hundred and forty-five cases of LA performed from May 2003 to May 2005, and 142 cases of OA performed from June 2001 to March 2003 were studied retrospectively. Results There was no difference in operative time between group LA and group OA. In the procedure of LA, some occult disease could be discovered and treated, while OA was not. The administration of analgesic, activity time, incidence of incision infection and hospital stay in group LA were better than those of OA group. While the cost of hospitalization in LA was higher than that of OA. Conclusion LA has significant advantages in treating appendicitis and it should be promoted.
