Clinical efficacy of transumbilical single-incision retrograde laparoscopic cholecystectomy / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of transumbilical single-incision retrograde laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Me,otis The clinical data of 979 patients with gallbladder diseases who were admitted to the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from May 2009 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The numbers of patients who were admitted in the year of 2009,2010,2011 and 2012 were 51,265,374,289,respectively.The preoperative preparation of transumbilical single-incision retrograde laparoscopic cholecystectomy was similar to that of traditional multi-portal laparoscopic surgery.During the operation,the umbilical incision was selected.After the body and bottom of the gallbladder was dissociated,the cystic duct of gallbladder was dissociated and straightened,which was vertical to the common bile duct.After clipping the proximal part of the cystic duct of gallbladder with 2 hem-o-lock clips,the cystic duct was cut off with the ultrasonic knife,and then the gallbladder was removed.Postoperative nursing was also similar to that of traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Patients were followed up via phone call or out-patient examination till March 2013.The wound infection,incisional hernia,incisional pain,cosmetic benefits were observed.Results No patient was converted to open surgery.Twenty patients were converted to multi-portal laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of severe inflammation (3 patients in 2009,5 in 2010,5 in 2011 and 7 in 2012).The mean operation time and volume of blood loss of the 959 patients were 48.5 minutes and (27 ± 25) mL.The operation time in 2009,2010,2011 and 2012 were 51.8 minutes,49.2 minutes,48.9 minutes and 46.7 minutes.The volumes of blood loss in 2009,2010,2011 and 2012 were 35.0 mL,32.1 mL,33.8 mL and 22.9 mL,respectively.The postoperative pain was slight.Forty-seven patients were administered antalgesics (5 in 2009,12 in 2010,18 in 2011 and 12 in 2012).In the 959 patients,umbilical swelling occurred in 4 patients,and was cured by disinfection treatment.Bile duct injury occurred in 3 patients from 2010 to 2011,timely repair wad done in 2 patients,and 1 was cured by drainage.The mean time of postoperative exhuast time and duration of hospital stay were 2.2 days and 4.2 days.A total of 924 patients were followed up for 1-3 months.The scar was hidden in the navel,and no incisional hernia occurred.Conclusion Transumbilical single-incision retrograde laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and effective with cosmetic benefits.
