【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the application of ultrasonically activated scalpel in laparoscopic intestinal adhesion release.
MethodsIntestinal adhesion release with ultrasonically activated scalpel under laparoscope was performed in 29 patients suffered from intestinal adhesive obstruction after gynecological operation.
ResultsAll operations were successfully performed, and none of them converted into open surgery. Intestinal disruption occurred durring operation in 2 patients with extensive intestinal denseadhesion which were mended successfully under laparoscope. The operative duration was 30-150 min (mean 45 min). Postoperative complications such as bowel leakage, bleeding, abdominal infection were not experienced. Postoperative hospital stay was 3-7 days (mean 4 days). No case had relapse symptom such as abdominal distention or pain after 1-24 months of followup.
ConclusionCompared with electric scalpel, ultrasonically activated scalpel can improve the operative safety, lessen tissue damage, shorten operative time, and reduce the chance of relapse in laparoscopic operation in gynecology.
