ABSTRACT
Objective To study the practical clinical value of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) combined with other laparoscopic surgery. Methods 206 patients treated by LC combined with other laparoscopic surgery were analysed retrospectively. Results Among the 206 cases of LC combined with other laparoscopic surgery, LC was combined with choledochal exploration in 64 patients, with appendectomy in 29 patients, with fenestration of hepatic cyst in 38 patients, with other hepatic operations in 13 patients, with unroofing of kidney cyst in 15 patients, with release of abdominal adhesions in 31 patients, and with other operative procedures in 16 patients. Laparoscopic operations were successful in 204 patients, and 2 patients were converted to laparotomy. Postoperative bile fistula occurred in 2 patients; 1 healed with conservative therapy, and 1 healed after reoperation. Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with other laparoscopic surgery can adequately present the advantages of microsurgery by safe, effective and economical management of various abdominal diseases.
