ObjectiveTo compare the advantages and disadvantages of transumbilical single port (TUSP) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). MethodsThe clinical data of 45 patients underwent elective LC were analyzed, 20 patients with TUSP LC (TUSP-LC group), 25 patients with conventional LC (conventional LC group). The operation time, Child-Pugh score and painkiller application frequency within three days after operation, the first time of out of bed and hospital stay after operation, intraoperative blood loss, chronic pain within one month after surgery were compared between two groups. ResultsAll cases were operated successfully except one patient in the conventional LC group. The frequency of painkiller application within three days after operation and postoperative hospital stay in the TUSP-LC group were better than those in the conventional LC group (Plt;0.05). There were no significant differences on postoperative chronic pain of surgical area within 1 month and Child-Pugh score between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the conventional LC group were less than those in the TUSP-LC group (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01). ConclusionTUSP LC has the advantages of small wound, slight pain, and fast recovery.
目的:探讨经脐入路行腹腔镜胆囊切除术的可行性。方法:对6例患者采用仅在脐部切开一个切口进行腹腔镜胆囊切除术。结果:6例患者手术均获成功,无中转常规腹腔镜手术或开腹手术。手术时间80～130min,无出血、胆管损伤等并发症发生。术后1d出院,术后1月门诊随访,患者恢复顺利,除脐部外,腹壁无手术瘢痕。结论:经脐入路腹腔镜胆囊切除术技术上是可行的,但难度较大,在开展手术初期应慎重选择病例。
Objective To explore the feasibility， operation method， and clinical application value of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy （TUSP-LC） in treatment for children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with benign gallbladder diseases from June 2009 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into TUSP-LC group （n=41） and convention three-port LC （CTP-LC group， n=23）. The operative time， intraoperative blood loss， conversion to CTP-LC or laparotomy， operative complications， and hospital stay were recorded. The pains were registered at 3，6，12，24，48， and 72h postoperatively using visual analog scale （VAS）. The patients were given satisfaction questionnaires with surgery at 6 time points （1 week， 2 weeks， 1 month， 3 months， 6 months， 12 months） during a 12 months follow-up. Results A total of 64 pediatric LCs were performed successfully， no patients were converted to laparotomy. Except for one case of incision infection in the CTP-LC group 〔4.35%（1/23）〕 and one case of incision infection and one case of ecchymoma in the TUSP-LC group 〔4.88% （2/41）〕， no other complications such as bile duct injury， bile leakage， and incision hernia happened， the total complication rate was not significant difference in two groups （P＞0.05）. The operative time 〔（47.54±18.71） min versus（45.33±10.58） min〕， intraoperative blood loss 〔（18.56±13.34） ml versus （17.28±12.53） ml〕， and hospital stay 〔（1.67±0.36） d versus （1.81±0.38） d〕were not significant differences in two groups （P＞0.05）. The VAS score was not statisticly significant within 24h in two groups （P＞0.05）， but which in the TUSP-LC group was significantly lower than that in the CTP-LC group after 24h postoperatively （P＜0.05）. During a 12 months follow-up， the score of satisfaction in the TUSP-LC group was significantly higher than that in the CTP-LC group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions TUSP-LC is a safe and feasible method in the children patients with benign gallbladder diseases. It can be performed with the same technical exposure and outcomes as multi-port laparoscopy， with the added benefit of relieving postoperative pain and little no scarring.
Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy through the transumbilical approach. MethodsThe clinical data of 18 patients underwent endoscopic cholecystectomy through only one transumbilical incision at West China Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results All of the operations were successfully completed without conversion to routine laparoscopic surgery or open surgery. The operation time was 40-130 （58±10） min. There was no intraoperative complication. The patients did well postoperatively and were discharged 1 day after operation. There was no postoperative complications and without visible abdominal scar on 1 month follow-up. Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy through the transumbilical approach is technically feasible and safe. But this technique is difficult, the patients should be selected carefully.
