ABSTRACT
Background: Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most important causes of maternal mortality and morbidity in the first trimester of pregnancy. Objective of this study was to compare the safety, feasibility and advantage of laparoscopic approach with that of laparotomy in management of ectopic pregnancy.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at two tertiary hospitals over a period of two years i.e.; from Aug 2015 to July 2017. Seventy-five patients who had histopathology confirmed tubal ectopic pregnancy were divided into two groups; laparoscopy (Group I, no-39) and laparotomy (Group II no-36). The main outcome measures were operative time, blood loss, and requirement of blood transfusion, requirement of analgesia and duration of hospital stay.Results: Seventy-five patients of ectopic pregnancy who were managed surgically were studied. There were 39 cases in laparoscopy group and 36 cases in laparotomy group. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 1.56% (out of all deliveries over 2 years). Ampullary region was the commonest site of ectopic pregnancy (74.6%). No difference was found in the two groups regarding age, site of tubal pregnancy, pre op Hb status and haemoperitoneum. Mean operating time was significantly shorter in the laparoscopy group 39 min (range 30 - 52 min) versus 50 min (range 40-60 min) in the laparotomy group. There was no difference between the groups regarding the treatment with blood products and perioperative complications. Hospital stay was significantly longer in the laparotomy group (3.5 days) as compared to 2 days in laparoscopy group. The duration of post op analgesia requirement was also longer in laparotomy group (4 days) as compared to 2 days in laparoscopy group.Conclusions: Laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy is a safe, effective and beneficial option in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon even in cases of massive haemoperitoneum. It definitely offers the advantage of shorter duration of surgery, faster post op recovery, shorter duration of hospital stays and lesser requirement of post op analgesia.
ABSTRACT
Background: Infertility is defined as inability to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Infertility has now a days not only a medical but a social problem as well. Ignorance and illiteracy, coupled with hesitancy to discuss the problem, complicates the matter further. WHO has listed infertility as a global health issue.Methods: The present study was conducted on 64 patients with female factor primary infertility admitted in department of obstetrics and gynecology at Rajendra Hospital, Patiala over a duration of 1 year (December 2013- November 2014). All the patients had normal semen study of their partner.Results: In our study mean age was 27.87±4.57. No patient was above 40 years of age. Duration of infertility between 1-5 years was in 47 patients (73.43%), nine patients (14.06%) were infertile for 6-10 years. Out of 64 patients of primary infertility, majority of patients were of endometriosis 15(23.43%), followed by pelvic inflammatory disease14(21.87%), tubal blockade in 7(10.9%), PCOD in 6(9.37%). 14.08% patients had normal laproscopic study. 34 patients (53.12%) had bilateral spill while no spill was seen in 12 patients (18.75%). Unilateral spill was seen in seven patients (10.93%) while six patients (9.37%) had delayed spill.Conclusions: Prevalence of infertility is increasing, so is the awareness and treatment seeking behavior. The present study assures that in evaluation and workup of primary infertility patients, after baseline noninvasive investigations, endometrial sampling and HSG, the diagnostic and operative laproscopy is an excellent tool for evaluation of tubal factor. Least expected conditions like endometriosis on clinical evaluation, can be diagnosed and treated with ease on laproscopy. Although tubal factor has been considered to be responsible for a large percentage of cases with female secondary infertility since decades, but in present study laproscopic evaluation confirmed tubal factor in 85.01% cases with female factor infertility.
ABSTRACT
Background: Ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition in the first trimester of pregnancy. Diagnosis can be done by clinical examination, serum β-HCG and ultrasonography. This retrospective study was done to know the incidence, risk factors, and management of ectopic pregnancy.Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted on 75 patients of ectopic pregnancy admitted at tertiary care hospital in Haryana from February-2017 to January-2019. Data collected from record room and analysis done.Results: Total deliveries were conducted were 5064. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy was 1.48%, majority of the women were in the age group of 21-30 (68%), multi-parous (77.32%). The most common risk factor was abortion 33.33%, f/b tubal ligation was 13.13%, medical management of ectopic pregnancy done in 30.66%, 8% were managed by laproscopically and 58.66% by laparotomy.Conclusions: Safe sexual practices can reduce pelvic infections and ectopic pregnancy incidences. Early diagnosis before tubal rupture can reduce morbidity and mortality in ectopic pregnancy.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To evaluate the advantages of laproscopic assisted appendicectomy on laproscopicappendicectomy. Materials and methods: this was a retrospective study evaluated conducted in ACPM medical and GMC, dhule. In total 50 patients were evaluated during a time period of 1 year from June 2017 to May 2018. Results: here we compare the mean duration time and hospital stay in two different groups. Conclusion:Laparoscopically assisted appendicectomy (LAA) can be done at a shorter operating time when compared to Laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA), and with less post operative hospital admission as opposed to open appendicectomy.
ABSTRACT
Background: Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) is one of the commonest symptomatology in gynaecologist’s outpatient clinics. CPP has a profound impact on a woman's health and quality of life, including an economic impact through loss of working hours. Treatment for chronic pelvic pain is often unsatisfactory. Present study compares Laparoscopic Uterosacral Nerve Ablation (LUNA) with laparoscopy without pelvic denervation in patients presenting with chronic pelvic pain to our outpatient clinic.Methods: It was a Randomised Controlled Trial Study. After considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, 120 patients were selected, out of which 60 (Group I) had undergone diagnostic laparoscopy and 60 (Group II) had undergone diagnostic laparoscopy with LUNA.Results: The overall success rate for group I and group II were 80%, 78.3% and 66.6% versus 85%, 81.6%, and 83.3% at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. However, on subgroup analysis it was found that in patients suffering from Congestive Dysmenorrhoea, there was a significant difference in success rate of both the groups.Conclusions: It was found in present study that there was a benefit for patients with dysmenorrheal, further research in this area is desirable to reach towards a discrete conclusion regarding the benefits of LUNA in patients of CPP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of the totally laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer,and evaluate the feasibility and safety of the two methods.Methods Eighty patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical D2 gastrectomy from Mar 2016 to Jul 2017 were enrolled.Patients were divided into totally laparoscopically hand-sewn escophagojejunostomy group (35 cases) and control group of hand-assisted laparoscopic esophagojejunostomy (45 cases).Results Compared with the control group,the operation time,blood loss,lymph node dissection in the control group were not significantly different [(256 ± 53) min vs.(248 ± 62) min,t =2.40,P ＞ 0.05;(123 ±78)ml vs.(162±56)ml,t=-1.94,P＞0.05;(28±6) vs.(30±7),t=-3.18,P＞0.05].The postoperative ambulation time,first exhaust time,postoperative hospital stay,incision complications were all in favor of the totally laparoscopic group [(1.5 ± 0.7) d vs.(2.6 ± 0.6) d,t =-2.41,P ＜ 0.05;(2.7 ±0.8)d vs.(4.0 ±1.2)d,t =-4.63,P＜0.01;(6.8 ±0.8)d vs.(9.2 ± 1.6)d,t =-7.32,P＜0.05].Conclusions Totally laparoscopic radical gastrectomy and hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy for gastric cancer is safe and reliable and has advantages such as less pain and fast recovery.
ABSTRACT
Background: Aim of the present study was to assess the technical difficulties and complications of double puncture laproscopy in camp setup in urban areas. Materials and methods: Laproscopic sterilization camps are held in the urban area (Hyderabad) from April 2014 to March 2016 a total of 7112 cases were done. The technical difficulties and complications are analyzed. Results: Failure to do the operation was technical failure mainly due to adhesion followed by pelvic inflammatory disease. The most common complication encountered was bleeding from the port site and infection at the port site. No major morbidity or mortality was reported. Conclusion: Laproscopic sterilization by Falope rings is very popular as it has very few complications and large number of patients can be operated in a day by an experienced laproscopic surgeon and safe alternative to modified Pomeroy’s technique.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the change of surgical route and range of hysterectomy in the past 10 years.Methods From January 2000 to December 2010,the clinical data of patients with hysterectomy were analyzed retrospectively,including clinical features,surgical path and scope of operation.Results There were 1980 patients.The predominant reason for hysterectomy was leiomyomas (52.88％,1047/1980),adenomyosis (17.78％,352/1980),cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (12.17％,241/1980).The age of the patients with hysterectomy for abdominal,transvaginal and laparoscopic was (46.54 ± 7.35),(58.73 ± 10.49),(44.10 ±5.12) years.In 2000-2005,the proportion of abdominal,transvaginal and laparoscopic proportion were 81.78％ (615/752),8.64％ (65/752) and 9.57％ (72/752).In 2006-2010 were 64.50％ (792/1228),6.51％ (80/1228) and 28.99％ (356/1228).In 2006-2010,the proportion of abdominal significantly decreased and laparoscopic significantly rised compared with those in 2000-2005,there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.01).In 2000-2005,unilateral and bilateral annex removal ratios were 15.43％ (116/752),12.23％ (92/752),in 2006-2010 were 8.63％ (106/1228),7.49％(92/1228).Unilateral and bilateral annex removal ratios in 2006-2010 were significantly lower than those in 2000-2005,there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Over the past 10 years,hysterectomy route and range changed with the percentage of laparoscopic increasing,and concomitant unilateral or bilateral annex removal decreased.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: We report our experience with laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) urological procedures in children less than 5 years of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients (11 procedures) underwent LESS through the umbilicus. Seven patients underwent nephrectomy and three patients underwent pyeloplasty (one simultaneous bilateral). R-port port (Advanced Surgical Concepts, Ireland) was used in nine cases, in one case, the Gelpoint access port (Applied Medical, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, USA) was used. The Olympus Endoeye camera with coaxial light cable was used. The hilum was secured in all cases with Hem-o-Lok clips (Teleflex Medical, Research Triangle Park, NC, USA) except in one case in which an Endo GIA stapler (Covidien Surgical, Norwalk, CT, USA) was used. RESULTS: All procedures were technically successful. Accessory port (3 mm) was used in 3 patients. Mean age in nephrectomized patients was 3.14+/-1.7 years, the mean operative room time (ORT) was 97.5+/-12.54 minutes. In the pyeloplasty group, mean ORT was 192+/-47.16 minutes and mean age was 2.43+/-2.3 years. Bilateral pyeloplasty was done in a 4-month-old infant. The ORT in this case was 180 minutes. A follow-up renogram done in the pyeloplasty patients (n=2) showed good drainage. Mean length of stay was 3.6 days (range, 3 to 6 days).The analgesic requirement was 23.86 mg (range, 12.5 to 50 mg) of diclofenac sodium. CONCLUSIONS: LESS is technically feasible in patients as young as 4 months of age. It has the potential to offer better cosmesis. This needs to be proved in further comparative studies. Development of miniature instruments will further the growth of LESS in this age group.

PURPOSE: Despite the great advances in laparoscopic techniques, most active general surgeons do not apply laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of duodenal ulcer perforation when facing a real-life emergency. Therefore, our study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in duodenal ulcer perforation, and provide a step-by-step protocol with tips and recommendations for less experienced surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March, 2011 and May, 2012, 21 patients presenting with duodenal ulcer perforation underwent laparoscopic primary repair with omentopexy. There were no contraindications to perform laparoscopic surgery, and the choice of primary repair was decided according to the size of the perforation. The procedure for laparoscopic primary repair with omentopexy consisted of peritoneal lavage, primary suture, and omentopexy using a knot pusher. RESULTS: During the operation, no conversion to open surgery or intra-operative events occurred. The median operation time was 45.0 minutes (20~80 minutes). Median day of commencement of a soft diet was day 6 (4~17 days). After surgery, the median hospital stay was 8.0 days (5~27 days). Postoperative complications occurred in one patient, which included a minor leakage. This complication was resolved by conservative management. CONCLUSIONS: Although our study was carried out on a small number of patients at a single institution, we conclude that laparoscopic primary repair can be an effective surgical method in the treatment of duodenal ulcer perforation. We believe that the detailed explanation of our procedure will help beginners to perform laparoscopic primary repair more easily.

As the number of surgeons performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC), a rigorous evaluation of the safety of LC is waranted. It is essential to determine the extent of the difference in morbidity and mortality when compared with open cholecystectomy(OC). To compare the complications occurring in the patients undergoing L.C as compared to those undergoing open cholecystectomy. In a study conducted over a period of 8 years, 400 patients who underwent LC were compared to 400 patients who had undergone OC. The two groups were compared with respect to complication (severity grade 1-4), hospital stay and time required to return to work. (using the student ‘t’ test). The overall complication rate in both the groups was 4.8%. In LC group, the rate of grade 1, grade 2a and grade 2b complications were 2.3%, 0.3% and 2.3% respectively and in OC group it was 4%, 0% and 0.8% respectively. It means that grade 1 complications were 1.89 times higher in open cholecystectomy group as compared to LC group and grade 2b complications are 3.04 times higher in LC group as compared to OC group, though the variations are insignificant statistically. There was 0% mortality in both the groups. Postoperative hospital stay and time taken to return to work were less with LC group. Laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy were found to be comparable procedures in terms of complication for the treatment of gall stone disease and LC has not been associated with any increase in untoward events.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the objective law of complication in endoscopic operation of gynecology Method We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the complications of endoscopic surgery during the decade occurred in 9 municipal or teaching hospitals and 5 district hospitals in Shanghai Results There were total 10 263 cases of operative laparoscopy and 18 306 cases of hysteroscopy The laparoscopic complication rate was 1 51%(155/ 10 263) and incidence of hysteroscopic complication was 0 09%(16/ 18 306) The major common complications in laparoscopic procedures were bleedings (70/ 10 263, 0 68%), 18 infections (18/ 10 263, 0 18%) and 12 organic injuries (12/ 10 263, 0 12%) The complication rate in laparoscopic surgery made by the inexperienced was six times greater than that by the experienced ( P
