Clinical analysis of 33 cases on laparoscopic resection of presacral cysts / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To summarize and analyze our experiences uponperforming laparoscopic resection ofpresacral cysts,at the aim of generalizing the minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of this disease.Methods The clinical data of 33 patients with presacral cysts treated by laparoscopy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from November 2012 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The operation time, the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications and the length of hospital stay were counted.Results Tumor excision was completed according to the plan without conversion to open surgery.The average operation time was ( 124.4 ± 63.0) minutes.There were 1 case of rectal injury and 1 case of presacral venous plexus hemorrhage.The complications were 6%.Postoperative rectal leakage occurred in 2 cases ( 6%).The average hospitalization time after operation was ( 6.7 ± 4.3) days.Of 33 cases, 2 cases were lost.One case had recurrence of presacral cyst one year after operation.Conclusion Laparoscopic resection of presacral cysts is technically feasible,and helps to improve intraoperative exposure,increase operating space and improve the resection rate of tumors.
