Application of Dorsal Vein Complex Ligation Free in Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the efficacy of dorsal vein complex(DVC)ligation free in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Methods The data of 25 patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy that performed by the same surgeon in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them,14 cases underwent sutured DVC,11 cases received sutured DVC. Results All the operations were completed with laparoscope and without convert to open surgery. The mean operation time was 246±24.7 min and 236±26.1 min in DVC liga?tion and DVC ligation free,the blood loss was 337.5±120.2 mL and 322.2±104.9 mL in DVC ligation and DVC ligation free,the blood transfusion rate was 14.3%and 18.2%in DVC ligation and DVC ligation free ,the urinary incontinence rate of 6 months after operation was 21.4%and 9.1%in DVC ligation and DVC ligation free,no significant difference was found in the operation time,blood loss,blood transfusion rate and urinary in?continence rate among the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion DVC ligation free is a safe and effective technique during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and may simplify the operative procedure and without increase of the risk of bleeding ,which can be more conducive to the early re?covery of postoperative urinary control.
