ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the application value of caesarean section scar or bikini line incisional approach in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.@*Methods@#The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 162 patients with obesity and metabolic diseases who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University between March 2018 and April 2019 were collected. There were 51 males and 111 females, aged (35±8)years, with a range from 12 to 47 years. Of 162 patients, 72 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via caesarean section scar or bikini line incisional approach and 90 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via traditional incisional approach were respectively allocated into concealed incision group and traditional incision group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) intraoperative situations; (3) postoperative situations; (4) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination, telephone interview, and WeChat was performed to detect the postoperative complications at 1, 3, 6 months and 1, 2, 5 years postoperatively up to May 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and the t test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and were analyzed by the chi-square test or fisher exact probability. Ordinal data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.@*Results@#(1) Surgical situations: patients in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group underwent successfully laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, without conversion to open surgery, reoperation, or perioperative death. (2) Intraoperative situations: the operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of the concealed incision group were (102±17)minutes and (11±4)mL, respectively, versus (105±19)minutes and (11±4)mL of the traditional incision group (t=-1.232, -0.676, P>0.05). There were 6 cases and 21 cases with additional surgical ports during operation in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group, respectively, with a significant difference between the two groups (χ2=6.280, P<0.05). (3) Postoperative situations: in the concealed incision group, 56 patients were very satisfied with scar appearance and 16 patients were satisfied with scar appearance. In the traditional incision group, 42 patients were very satisfied with scar appearance and 48 patients were satisfied with scar appearance. There was a significant difference in the overall satisfaction with the incision scar between the two groups (Z=-4.012, P<0.05). Duration of postoperative hospital stay and total hospital expenses of the concealed incision group were (4.9±0.9)days and (64 408±5 123)yuan, versus (5.2±1.5)days and (64 953±3 477)yuan of the traditional incision group (t=-1.788, -0.804, P>0.05). There were 19 and 14 patients with gastroesophageal reflux in the concealed incision group and traditional incision group, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=2.894, P>0.05). There was no postoperative complication such as infection, hemorrhage or anastomotic leakage in either group. (4) Follow-up: 32 of 162 patients were lost to follow-up, including 10 in the concealed incision group and 22 in the traditional incision group; other 130 patients were followed up for 1-14 months, with a median follow-up time of 7 months. During the follow-up, 1 patient in the traditional incision group was hospitalized again at 3 months after surgery due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and was cured after symptomatic supportive treatment. One patient in the concealed incision group was admitted to the local hospital for functional obstruction at 1 month after surgery and was discharged after symptomatic treatment. Other patients had no readmission due to postoperative complications.@*Conclusion@#Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy via caesarean section scar or bikini line incision is safe and feasible, with good cosmetic effects.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the causes and management of postoperative complications of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 450 patients with metabolic diseases who underwent LRYGB between June 2004 and November 2016 were collected,including 283 (58 in hospital consultation) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University,140 in the Jihua Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University and 27 in the Zhengzhou Hospital of Jinan University.Observation indicators:situations of surgical completion,follow-up situations,occurrence,treatment and prognosis of complications.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative complications once at month 1,3,6 and 12 within 1 year postoperatively and once every year after 1 year postoperatively up to March 2017.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Count data were evaluated by the ratio,and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test.Results All the 450 patients with metabolic diseases underwent successful LRYGB,including 50 receiving LRYGB during surgical internship period and 400 receiving LRYGB after surgical internship period,without conversion to open surgery.All the 450 patients were followed up for 70 months (range,1-153 months).Twenty-seven patients had postoperative complications,with an incidence of 6.00％ (27/450).The incidence of postoperative complications was 20.00％(10/50) in 50 patients receiving LRYGB during surgical internship period and 4.25％ (17/400) in 400 patients receiving LRYGB after surgical internship period,with a statistically significant difference (x2 =16.86,P＜ 0.05).Of 27 patients with postoperative complications,1 was complicated with fulminant acute pancreatitis and died from multiple organ failure at day 15 postoperatively,5 with intra-abdominal bleeding,2 with anastomotic leakage,3 with gastrojejunal anastomosis stenosis,2 with gastrojejunal anastomosis ulcer,1 with improper anastomosis,1 with respiratory failure,1 with umbilicus infection,3 with internal hernia,2 with dumping syndrome,6 with weight-loss failure (1 refused to undergo revision surgery),and patients with postoperative complications were improved or cured by surgery or conservative treatment except one death.Conclusions The incidence of complications in patients receiving LRYGB after surgical internship period is significantly reduced,and complications needs to make the individualized treatment plan.
