ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of direct trocar insertion using optical trocar in the establishment of the primary port during trans-peritoneal laparoscopic surgical procedures.Methods A prospective study was conducted by collecting the data of 120 patients who should be performed abdominal laparoscopic surgery from April 2015 to December 2015.The 120 patients were randomly divided into a research group and a control group.The research group consisted of 34 male patients and 26 female patients,mean age was (52.0 ± 11.9) years and mean BMI was (24.9 ± 2.9) kg/m2.In research group,patients were positioned laterally with the flank padded and elevated.A predetermined position was drawn prior to surgery between the umbilicus and lateral rectus abdominis,for the creation of the primary laparoscopic trocar port.The predetermined point was incised,and then the method of direct trocar insertion using the optical access trocar was used for establishment of the primary port.After this maneuver was completed the surgery continued as indicated.The control group consisted of 36 male patients and 24 female patients,whose mean age was (52.9 ± 11.4) years and mean BMI was (25.2 ± 2.4) kg/m2.This group underwent the traditional method of port construction by incision into the abdomen.The time of constructing the passage,leakage rate,bleeding rate,and injury rate of abdominal organs were compared.Results In research group,the time of building primary port was clearly shorter than that in control group (2.7min vs.15.9min,P ＜ 0.05),the leakage rate was also obviously reduced compared to that in control group (0 vs.30％,P ＜ 0.05).Neither groups observed any significant bleeding nor visceral organ damage throughout the study.Conclusion Direct trocar insertion using optical trocar to establish observation port is a highly efficient and safe method in trans-peritoneal laparoscopic operation,which should be research thoroughly in clinical practice.
