ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of clipless laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to patients with calculous cholecystitis in acute inflammation stage. Methods The clinical data of 169 patients with calculous cholecystitis in acute inflammation stage who underwent clipless LC from December 2008 to July 2010 were analyzed. ResultsAll patients were successfully operated by LC except one case who suffered from gallbladder perforation and a conversion to open surgery was performed. The operation time ranged from 25-70 min (mean 38 min). The blood loss ranged from 10-200 ml (mean 22 ml). Peritoneal drainage was done in 38 patients, and the drainage time ranged from 1-6 d (mean 1.8 d). The time to out-of-bed activity was at 2 h after operation and the hospitalization time was 3-7 d (mean 3.5 d). There was no complication such as bile duct injury, hemorrhage, billiary leakage, and intra-abdominal infection. ConclusionWith improvement of operator’s experiences and skills, the clipless LC becomes feasible and safe for patients with calculous cholecystitis in acute inflammation stage.
ObjectiveTo comprehensively analyze current status and progress of vagus nerve-preserving radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at domestic and foreign. MethodRelevant literatures about vagus nerve-preserving radical gastrectomy at domestic and foreign since 1996 were collected and reviewed. ResultsVagus nerve-preserving radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer had been recognized by many scholars both at home and abroad, which had a higher operation safety and feasibility, could obviously reduce the occurrence of postoperative acute inflammation, maintain the stability of gastrointestinal function to the greatest extent, significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications such as gallbladder stone and diarrhea, improve the postoperative quality of life. ConclusionUnder premise of strictly controlling operation indications and ensuring curative effect, vagus nerve-preserving radical gastrectomy is of great significance to improve prognosis of patient with gastric cancer.
