Incarcerated internal hernia of the small intestine through a breach of the broad ligament: two cases and a literature review.

Two cases of internal herniation through a defect in the broad ligament of the uterus are described. Both were successfully treated laparoscopically. This rare condition should be borne in mind when a middle-aged woman presents with colicky lower abdominal pain. The cause is unknown, but both congenital and acquired origins have been proposed. As far as emergency situations are concerned, laparoscopy has proven to be both a diagnostic and a therapeutic tool.     

腹腔镜与开腹直肠癌低位前切除术后吻合口瘘发生率的比较

目的探讨腹腔镜与开腹直肠癌低位前切除术后吻合口瘘发生率的差异。方法2000年9月至2005年12月由同一组医师连续对距肛缘5～8cm的直肠癌患者实施腹腔镜下根治术(LP术组)53例及传统开腹根治术135例,比较两组和两组内患者造口与未造口者发生吻合口瘘的差异。结果LP术组造口与未造口者吻合口瘘的发生率分别为4.6%(1/22)与6.5%(2/31),χ~2=0.088,P>0.05;差异无统计学意义。OP术组造口与未造口者吻合口瘘的发生率分别为2.3% (1/43)与8.7%(8/92),χ~2=1.024,P>0.05;差异无统计学意义。LP术组与OP术组行造口的患者吻合口瘘发生率比较,P=0.455,差异无统计学意义;LP术组与OP术组未行造口者的吻合口瘘发生率比较,P=0.288,差异也无统计学意义。结论腹腔镜行直肠癌低位前切除术与开腹手术相比,不会增加吻合口痿的发生率。     

腔镜筋膜外下肢静脉交通支离断术的临床应用探讨

目的:探讨腔镜筋膜外交通支离断术(epifascial laparoscopic perforator surgery,ELPS)的临床应用价值。方法:回顾性分析我院2005年6月至2007年1月采用腔镜筋膜外交通支离断术治疗慢性下肢静脉功能不全12例共14条肢体的临床资料。采用彩色多普勒超声、彩色多普勒剖面流速图、空气体积描记仪、临床分级和静脉功能评分等方法在手术前后对患肢静脉交通支离断情况、静脉功能和术后并发症等状况进行分析。对所有患者进行随访,分析手术的长期效果。结果:本组共离断小腿交通静脉42支,平均3支/肢体,功能不全的交通支67.4%(29/43)距内踝20cm以内;手术前后静脉功能综合评分均值、手术前后彩超剖面流速图静脉返流量均值和空气体积描记仪3项指标术前、后均值比较均有统计学差异(P<0.01)。术后并发症发生率低。随访3～15个月,随访率100%。全组浅静脉曲张未见复发,6条溃疡肢体中有5条肢体溃疡全部愈合(83.3%)。比较患者术前与术后3个月的CEAP临床评分,除色素沉着无明显改善(P>0.05)外,其他临床表现均有明显改善(P<0.01)。结论:腔镜筋膜外交通静脉离断术治疗下肢慢性静脉功能不全在临床上的结果令人满意,在目前纠正深静脉瓣膜功能方面缺乏确切疗效的治疗方法时,是具有较高临床价值的微创技术手段,值得推广。     

双极电凝和PK刀用于腹腔镜子宫切除术的比较

目的：比较双极电凝和PK刀在腹腔镜子宫切除术中的应用情况。方法：回顾分析我院2006年1月至12月66例腹腔镜子宫切除患者的临床资料。其中双极电凝组33例,PK刀组33例。比较两组患者的术中出血量、手术时间等指标。结果：所有手术均获成功,无中转开腹及严重并发症发生。PK刀组在手术出血量和手术时间上均显著少于双极电凝组。结论：与双极电凝相比,PK刀具有止血效果佳,热辐射损伤小,器械操作简单、易学等优点,极大提高了妇科腹腔镜子宫切除术的手术质量。     

Assessment of the durability of robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for treatment of vaginal vault prolapse

Transabdominal sacrocolpopexy has been shown, in multiple long-term studies of its success and durability, to be the definitive treatment option for post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse. It is, however, associated with greater morbidity than vaginal repair. We describe a minimally invasive technique for vaginal vault prolapse repair and present our experience with a minimum of one-year follow-up. The surgical technique involves five laparoscopic ports—three for the da Vinci robot and two for the assistant. After appropriate dissection a polypropylene mesh is attached to the sacral promontory and to the vaginal apex by use of Gore-Tex sutures. The mesh material is then covered by the peritoneum. Patient analysis focused on complications, urinary continence, patient satisfaction, and morbidity, with a minimum of 12 months follow-up. Forty-two patients with post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy at our institute and 35 have a minimum of 12 months follow-up, with a mean follow-up of 36 months (range 12–48) in the group. Mean age was 67 (47–83) years and mean operating time was 3.1 (2.15–4.75) h for the entire cohort. All but one patient were discharged home on postoperative day one; one patient left on postoperative day two. One developed recurrent grade three rectocele, one had recurrent vault prolapse, and two suffered from vaginal extrusion of mesh. All patients were satisfied with their outcome. The robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is a minimally invasive technique for vaginal vault prolapse repair, combining the advantages of open sacrocolpopexy with the reduced morbidity of laparoscopy. We observed reduced hospital stay, low occurrence of complications, and high patient satisfaction, with a minimum of 1-year follow-up. Most importantly, the long-term results of the robotic repair are similar to those of open repair, but with significantly less morbidity.     

腹腔镜在急性肠梗阻手术治疗中的应用

目的:评价腹腔镜在急性肠梗阻手术治疗中的价值。方法:对腹腔镜急性肠梗阻手术的适应证、禁忌证、手术方式、注意事项、手术并发症及优缺点等进行了总结与分析。结果:腹腔镜手术已成功地用于治疗由既往腹部手术后粘连、内疝(包括膈疝)、腹壁疝、肠扭转等所引起的急性肠梗阻。结论:腹腔镜急性肠梗阻手术仍是一种探索性的手术,可以代替开腹手术治疗选择性的急性肠梗阻。对于梗阻原因不明者,腹腔镜手术是一种即可以明确梗阻原因,又可以同时进行有效治疗的方法。

目的探讨腹腔镜肝癌切除的可行性与适应证. 方法 1998年8月～2004年9月采用多功能手术解剖器(Peng's multifunctional operative dissector,PMOD)刮吸法断肝技术对15例肝癌行腹腔镜肝癌切除术. 结果 14例腹腔镜肝癌切除术成功,1例因术中出血中转开腹肝癌切除术.腹腔镜肝癌切除术手术时间60～240 min,平均125 min.术中出血量50～2 000 ml,平均501 ml.切除肝脏最大体积10 cm×9 cm×7 cm.术后无并发症发生.术后24 h均能下床活动,术后1～3 d即能进食.术后住院5～10 d,平均6.5 d. 结论对位于肝脏边缘、右肝表面或左半肝的恶性肿瘤,采用PMOD行腹腔镜肝癌切除是可行和安全的.     

Exacerbation of occult femoral hernia during laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Laparoscopic prostatectomy has been accepted as an appropriate treatment for prostate cancer because of the shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery. We present a rare complication of groin hernia with incarceration and necrosis of small bowel following laparoscopic prostatectomy. Occult hernias and small fascia defects may not always be apparent pre-operatively, but extension of pneumoperitoneal insufflation to extraperitoneal compartments should alert the surgeon to the possible presence of such a defect.     

Laparoscopic repair of a perforated marginal ulcer 2 years after gastric bypass

The authors present the case of a 43-year-old women who underwent a laparoscopic gastric bypass in 2003 for morbid obesity. They report that 2 years later, she had maintained significant weight loss, but had developed acute abdominal pain, followed by nausea and emesis. In the emergency room, she had diffuse tenderness, tachycardia, and leukocytosis. After initial resuscitation, a computed tomography was performed, which showed free air above the liver and thickened small bowel loops. She was brought emergently to the operating room for laparoscopy. At surgery, turbid fluid and inflamed small bowel loops were seen. A perforated marginal ulcer was discovered in the Roux limb, approximately 2 cm distal to the gastrojejunal anastomosis. The perforation was oversewn primarily and patched with omentum. The repair was tested by intraoperative endoscopy. A gastrostomy tube also was placed within the gastric remnant for enteral access. The patient did extremely well postoperatively, and had an uneventful postoperative course. She was discharged on postoperative day 4. The gastrostomy tube was removed at 1 month, and at this writing, she remains well since surgery. An upper endoscopy at 2 months was completely normal, and the Helicobacter pylori test results were negative. The gastric pouch had not significantly enlarged since initial surgery, as indicated by both endoscopy and barium study. Marginal ulcer is reported to be 0.6% to 16% after laparoscopic gastric bypass [1]. Etiologies include gastrogastric fistula, excessively large gastric pouch containing antral mucosa, H. pylori infection, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory use, and smoking [2]. Unfortunately, none of these applied to the reported patient. Because her exact etiology remains unknown, she at this writing continues to receive proton pump inhibitor therapy.
