Data on age, gender, body mass index(BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists score, imaging findings, inflammatory index(white blood cells, interleukin(IL)-6, and C-reaction protein), visual analogue score score during hospitalization and outpatient visit, history of CP, operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative data(postoperative mortality and morbidity, postoperative length of hospital stay) were obtained for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The open surgery cases in this study were analyzed for risk factors related to extensive bleeding, which was the major reason for conversion during the laparoscopic procedure. Age, gender, etiology, imaging findings, amylase level, complications due to pancreatitis, functional insufficiency, and history of CP were assessed in these patients.RESULTS: Nine laparoscopic and 37 open Frey procedures were analyzed. Of the 46 patients, 39 were male(85%) and seven were female(16%). The etiology of CP was alcohol in 32 patients(70%) and idiopathic in 14 patients(30%). Stones were found in 38 patients(83%). An inflammatory mass was found in five patients(11%). The time from diagnosis of CP to the Frey procedure was 39 ± 19(9-85) mo. The BMI of patients in the laparoscopic group was 20.4 ± 1.7(17.8-22.4) kg/m2 and was 20.6 ± 2.9(15.4-27.7) kg/m2 in the opengroup. Allpatientsrequired analgesic medication for abdominal pain. Frequent acute pancreatitis or severe abdominal pain due to acute exacerbation occurred in 20 patients(43%). Pre-operative complications due to pancreatitis were observed in 18 patients(39%). Pancreatic functional insufficiency was observed in 14 patients(30%). Two laparoscopic patients(2/9) were converted. In seven successful laparoscopic cases, the mean operative time was 323 ± 29(290-370) min. Estimated intra-operativeblood loss was 57 ± 14(40-80) m L. One patient had a postoperative complication, and no mortality was observed. Postoperative hospital stay was 7 ± 2(5-11) d. Multiple linear regression analysis of 37 open Frey procedures showed that an inflammatory mass(P < 0.001) and acute exacerbation(P < 0.001) were risk factors for intra-operative blood loss. CONCLUSION: The laparoscopic Frey procedure for CP is feasible but only suitable in carefully selected patients.展开更多

Methods Two hundred and fifteen women with ectopic pregnancy underwent operative laparoscopy. These patients were divided into two groups. The study group included 21 patients with shock and intraperitoneal hemorrhage more than 1000 mL, and control group included 194 patients, hemodynamically stable, with blood loss less than 1000 mL. Clinical data of perio-perative periods in two groups were retrospectively analyzed. Results All patients were tubal pregnancies. The occurrence rate of tubal rupture was higher in study group than in control group (80.95% vs. 15.98%, P < 0.001). Intraabdominal blood loss was significantly higher in study group than in control group (1900 mL vs. 300 mL, P < 0.001), and autologous blood transfusions were given to 95.24% and 9.3% of patients in study and control group, respectively (P < 0.001). Laparoscopic salpingectomy was performed on 85.7 % and 50.5% of patients in study and control group (P < 0.001). The operative time was somewhat longer in study group than that in control group (60 minutes vs. 45 minutes), but with no significant difference. All patients had no perioperative complications. Conclusion Operative laparoscopy in patients with hopovolemic shock can be safely and effectively performed by experi-enced laparoscopists with the aid of optimal anesthesia, advanced cardiovascular monitoring, and autologous blood transfusion.展开更多

We reported a case of mesenterioaxial intrathoracic gastric volvulus, which was successfully treated with laparoscopic repair of the diaphragmatic hiatal defect using a polytetrafluoroethylene mesh associated with Toupet fundoplication. A 70-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital because of sudden onset of upper abdominal pain. An upper gastrointestinal series revealed an incarcerated intrathoracic mesenterioaxial volvulus of the distal portion of the stomach and the duodenum. The complete laparoscopic approach was used to repair the volvulus. The laparoscopic procedures involved the repair of the hiatal hernia using polytetrafluoroethylene mesh and Toupet fundoplication. This case highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of the laparoscopic procedure, and laparoscopic repair of the hiatal defect using a polytetrafluoroethylene mesh associated with Toupet fundoplication may be useful for preventing postoperative recurrence of hiatal her-nia, volvulus, and gastroesophageal reflux.展开更多

The data included patients' demographic data, procedure time, length of hospital stay, the need for pain medicine, postoperative visual analog scale o pain, and morbidities. Pregnant women and patients with previous lower abdominal surgery were excluded Patients with surgery converted from laparoscopic appendectomy(LA) to mini-incision open appendectomy(MOA) were excluded. Patients were divided into two groups: LA and MOA done by the same surgeon. The patients were randomized into MOA and LA groups a computer-generated number. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made by the surgeon with physica examination, laboratory values, and radiological tests(abdominal ultrasound or computed tomography). Al operations were performed with general anaesthesia The postoperative vision analog scale score was recorded at postoperative hours 1, 6, 12, and 24. Patients were discharged when they tolerated normal food and passed gas and were followed up every week for three weeks as outpatients.RESULTS: Of the 243 patients, 121(49.9%) underwen MOA, while 122(50.1%) had laparoscopic appendectomy There were no significant differences in operation time between the two groups(P = 0.844), whereas the visua analog scale of pain was significantly higher in the open appendectomy group at the 1st hour(P = 0.001), 6th hour(P = 0.001), and 12 th hour(P = 0.027). The need for analgesic medication was significantly higher in the MOA group(P = 0.001). There were no differences between the two groups in terms of morbidity rate(P = 0.599)The rate of total complications was similar between the two groups(6.5% in LA vs 7.4% in OA, P = 0.599). Al wound infections were treated non-surgically. Six ou of seven patients with pelvic abscess were successfully treated with percutaneous drainage; one patient requiredsurgical drainage after a failed percutaneous drainage. There were no differences in the period of hospital stay, operation time, and postoperative complication rate between the two groups. Laparoscopic appendectomy decreases the need for analgesic medications and the visual analog scale of pain.CONCLUSION: The laparoscopic appendectomy should be considered as a standard treatment for acute appendicitis. Mini-incision appendectomy is an alternative for a select group of patients.展开更多

Data from an administrative database associated with the diagnosis procedure combination(DPC) system have revealed some circumstances of ESD and LG in Japan. Some studiesdemonstrated that medical costs or length of stay of patients receiving ESD for gastric cancer had become significantly reduced while length of hospitalization and costs were significantly increased in older patients. With respect to LG, some recent reports have shown that this has been a cost-beneficial treatment for patients compared with open gastrectomy while simultaneous LG and cholecystectomy is a safe procedure for patients with both gastric cancer and gallbladder stones. These epidemiological studies using the administrative database in the DPC system closely reflect clinical circumstances of endoscopic and surgical treatment for gastric cancer in Japan. However, DPC database does not contain detailed clinical data such as histological types and lesion size of gastric cancer. The link between the DPC database and another detailed clinical database may be vital for future research into endoscopic and laparoscopic treatments for gastric cancer.展开更多

文摘AIM: To share our experience regarding the laparoscopic Frey procedure for chronic pancreatitis(CP) and patient selection.METHODS: All consecutive patients undergoingduodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection from July 2013 to July 2014 were reviewed and those undergoing the Frey procedure for CP were included in this study. Data on age, gender, body mass index(BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists score, imaging findings, inflammatory index(white blood cells, interleukin(IL)-6, and C-reaction protein), visual analogue score score during hospitalization and outpatient visit, history of CP, operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative data(postoperative mortality and morbidity, postoperative length of hospital stay) were obtained for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The open surgery cases in this study were analyzed for risk factors related to extensive bleeding, which was the major reason for conversion during the laparoscopic procedure. Age, gender, etiology, imaging findings, amylase level, complications due to pancreatitis, functional insufficiency, and history of CP were assessed in these patients.RESULTS: Nine laparoscopic and 37 open Frey procedures were analyzed. Of the 46 patients, 39 were male(85%) and seven were female(16%). The etiology of CP was alcohol in 32 patients(70%) and idiopathic in 14 patients(30%). Stones were found in 38 patients(83%). An inflammatory mass was found in five patients(11%). The time from diagnosis of CP to the Frey procedure was 39 ± 19(9-85) mo. The BMI of patients in the laparoscopic group was 20.4 ± 1.7(17.8-22.4) kg/m2 and was 20.6 ± 2.9(15.4-27.7) kg/m2 in the opengroup. Allpatientsrequired analgesic medication for abdominal pain. Frequent acute pancreatitis or severe abdominal pain due to acute exacerbation occurred in 20 patients(43%). Pre-operative complications due to pancreatitis were observed in 18 patients(39%). Pancreatic functional insufficiency was observed in 14 patients(30%). Two laparoscopic patients(2/9) were converted. In seven successful laparoscopic cases, the mean operative time was 323 ± 29(290-370) min. Estimated intra-operativeblood loss was 57 ± 14(40-80) m L. One patient had a postoperative complication, and no mortality was observed. Postoperative hospital stay was 7 ± 2(5-11) d. Multiple linear regression analysis of 37 open Frey procedures showed that an inflammatory mass(P < 0.001) and acute exacerbation(P < 0.001) were risk factors for intra-operative blood loss. CONCLUSION: The laparoscopic Frey procedure for CP is feasible but only suitable in carefully selected patients.
