Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Intragastric Erosion and Migration of A Gastric Band

We describe what we believe to be the first reported case of intragastric erosion and migration to the jejenum of a laparoscopically inserted gastric band, 3 months after the original bariatric surgery was performed. This had caused ulceration and necrosis of the small bowel as the tension in the port tubing had caused the bowel to become concertinaed over it and resulted in a cheese-wire effect through the jejunal convolutions. As bariatric surgery becomes more common, patients with complications of their procedure may present to the general surgeon as an emergency. We recommend early intervention in patients with gastric erosion.     

Pretransplant bilateral hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy in adult patients with polycystic kidney disease.

Laparoscopic procedures continue to gain popularity over traditional open procedures for a number of abdominal and pelvic surgeries. With increasing experience, the application of this technique is rising because it provides an alternative, less invasive, approach to various surgical procedures. Herein, we report our experience with adult patients with polycystic kidney disease, requiring bilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy before renal transplantation.

腹腔镜胆囊切除术不同压力CO2气腹对气腹存留时限及肩部疼痛的影响

目的 探讨腹腔镜胆囊切除术(laparoscopic cholecystectomy,LC)不同压力CO2气腹对气腹存留时限及肩部疼痛的影响,探讨LC术后气腹存留时限的影响因素及肩部疼痛的原因.方法 2002年4～10月连续观察69例LC,随机分为A、B、C 3组,每组23例.气腹压力设定A组10mm Hg,B组12mm Hg,C组14mm Hg.对69例LC术后进行连续胸部X线平片观察膈下游离气体,测量术后24h两侧膈下游离气体的长、高并计算残气量.采用视觉模拟评分(vision analogue score,VAS)观察3组术后1、3、6、12、24、48、72、96、120h肩部疼痛程度.结果 LC后气腹存留时限为(1.8±1.1)d,男女组气腹存留时限分别为(1.8±1.1)d和(1.7±1.0)d,2组比较无显著意义(H=0.013,P=0.911).3组术后24h膈下残气量及术后气腹存留时限差异无显著性(P＞0.05).逐步回归分析示lg(气腹存留时限)与术后24h膈下残气量呈正相关(r=0.616,P=0.006),与气腹时间呈负相关(r=-0.228,P=0.014),与年龄、体重、身高、手术时间及所用气体量无相关性.术后26例出现肩部疼痛,随着A、B、C 3组气腹压力的增高,发生肩部疼痛患者的VAS评分明显增高(F=9.635, P=0.000),术后24h肩部疼痛VAS评分与术后24 h右侧膈下残气量呈正相关(r=0.333,P=0.005),与气腹存留时限呈正相关(r=0.296,P=0.014).结论 LC术毕尽量将腹腔内CO2气体排净可缩短术后残气吸收时间.不同压力CO2气腹对LC术后残余的CO2气体量及气腹存留时限无明显影响.LC后肩部疼痛程度随气腹压增高有明显加重趋势,人工气腹引起膈肌的张力可能是造成肩部疼痛的重要原因.     

Portsite and intraabdominal metastases of unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Report of a case

We herein report a rare case of portsite metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma which occurred after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A 64-year-old man underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at another hospital for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. The histological examination revealed an adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder infiltrating the entire wall. Despite the physician's advice the patient refused any additional treatment. Thirteen months after surgery he visited our hospital because of a palpable mass at the scar of the right trocar incision. The nodule was removed and histological examination confirmed metastasis from the gallbladder carcinoma.     

Experience with 1904 laparoscopic cholecystectomies at a private hospital

The purpose of this paper is to describe our recent experience in performing laparoscopic cholecystectomies of which we performed 1904, from January 1991 to May 1997, at our private hospital, mainly to treat cholecystolithiasis. The patients included 1563 with gallbladder stones (82.0%), 82 with cholecystocholedocholithiasis (4.3%), 104 with adenomyomatosis (5.5%), 132 with polyps (6.9%), and 23 with gallbladder cancer (1.3%). A difficult pericholecystic dissection led to conversion to open surgery in 61 patients. The average operation time was 63 min. Bile duct injury or cystic artery bleeding occurred in 3 patients with acute cholecystitis, and small intestine injury occurred in 1 patient, while bile leakage or a right subphrenic abscess occurred in 6 patients postoperatively. Although this series included 69 patients with previous upper abdominal surgery, 14 with liver cirrhosis, 267 with a nonvisualized gallbladder, and 148 with acute cholecystitis, the overall conversion rate was only 3.2% and morbidity only 0.5%. Although almost all patients with cholelithiasis are now considered potential candidates for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, difficulties during cholecystectomy have been encountered in patients with acute cholecystitis. Surgeons should thus be fully prepared to convert to open surgery whenever difficulties are encountered, in order to avoid complication.     

Ileocutaneous fistula formation following laparoscopic polypropylene mesh hernia repair

A rare case of enterocutaneous fistula caused by chronic erosion of polypropylene mesh after laparoscopic repair of a recurrent inguinal hernia is described. Successful treatment was achieved by fistulectomy, total resection of the implanted mesh, and small-bowel segmental resection. The patient recovered well postoperatively, and at follow-up 18 months later, the herniorrhaphy has remained intact. This complication needs to be added to the differential diagnosis in patients who present inflammation, abscess formation, or cutaneous fistula following laparoscopic hernia repair.

Management of intraabdominal testicle during laparoscopic hernia repair

A 22-year-old man who had previously undergone work-up for right cryptorchidism and been diagnosed as having right testicular absence was referred for repair of a right inguinal hernia. A laparoscopic approach was chosen for this patient, and at the time of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy, a small intraabdominal testicle was visualized and removed laparoscopically.Laparoscopy has served as an excellent procedure for locating intraabdominal testes and planning the most appropriate treatment for many cryptorchid patients. Until recently, atrophic testes located within the abdominal cavity through use of a laparoscope were removed via an open technique. Advances in laparoscopy now enable detection and definitive treatment for these patients without the need for large, more painful incisions.The laparoscopic approach to this patient enabled diagnosis and management of his cryptorchidism and provided a means for repair of his hernia.     

后腹腔镜手术治疗嗜铬细胞瘤

目的探讨后腹腔镜手术治疗嗜铬细胞瘤的适应证及手术安全性. 方法采用后腹腔镜手术治疗肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤患者15例(双侧2例),腹主动脉旁嗜铬细胞瘤1例.对照组为开放手术治疗的肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤16例,腹主动脉旁嗜铬细胞瘤1例.结果后腹腔镜手术组16例患者行后腹腔镜手术18例次,17例次取得成功,1例因术中出血改行开放手术.肿瘤最大径2.0～6.5(3.8±1.6)cm.手术时间45～150(85±31)min,出血量10～100(32±22)ml.术后吗啡用量0～40(12.5±7.8)mg;术后恢复进食时间1～3(1.8±0.7)d;下床活动时间2～3(2.3±0.5)d;术后住院时间4～9(6.5±1.3)d.开放手术组肿瘤最大径1.5～6.0(4.3±1.3)cm.手术时间90～240(155±39)min,出血量50～600(273±105)ml,9例输血.术后吗啡用量10～120(61±24)mg;术后恢复进食时间2～4(2.9±0.5)d;术后下床活动时间3～6(4.8±0.7)d;术后住院时间8～11(8.8±0.9)d.结论对于有一定腹腔镜手术经验者,后腹腔镜手术并不增加嗜铬细胞瘤手术的危险性,且具有手术时间短、出血少、创伤小、疼痛轻、康复快等优点.该法有望成为治疗肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤的首选手术方法.
