AIM To evaluate the role of intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC) in preventing biliary duct injury duringlaparoscopic cholecystectomy.METHODS Injury location, mechanism, time of detection, treatment outcome, and whether anintraoperative cholangiogram was performed were evaluated in 31 cases of bile duct injuries.RESULTS Cholangiograms were done in 22 cases, but they were misinterpreted in 3 of them. In 12 of 19misidentified cases, the cholangiogram was interpreted correctly, and the injury detected intraoperatively.Primary laparoscopic repair or open repair and T-tube drainage solved the problem. No long-termcomplications occurred. However, in 3 of the 19 cases the cholangiogram was misinterpreted and in 4 of the19 cases no cholangiogram was performed. Three of the seven patients required a cholangioentericanastomosis. In 2 cases the diagnosis was delayed and one of these required a two-stage procedure. Morbiditywas increased. Three cases of clim impingement of the common duct had delayed diagnoses, and two of themhad injuries. Thermal injury developed in 4 cases who had cholangiograms.CONCLUSION Routine IOC plays no role in inducing, preventing, detecting, or minimizing any of theinjuries due to clips, lacerations, or electrocautery, IOC does not prevent injuries due to ductmisidentification either. Careful interpretation of IOC would prevent injuries and avoid an open operation.

Objective. To investigate retrospectively the complications and associated factors of gynecological laparoscopies.Methods. 1 769 laparoscopic surgeries were carried out from January 1994 to October 1999 at our department.The procedures included 1421 surgeries of ovary and t utbe, 52 myomectomies and 296 cases of laproscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). A total of 312 patients had a history of prior laparotomy ( 17.6% ).Results. Complications occured in 34 cases, the overall complication rate was 1.92%. Unintended laparotomies occured in 6 cases(0.34% ). 12 complications were associated with insertion of Veress needle or trocar and creation of pneumoperitoneum, including 5 severe emphysema and 7 vascular injuries, this figure represents 35.3% of all complications of this series. Five intraoperative complications ( 14.7% ) occured during the laparoscopic surgery (3severe bleedings, one bladder injury and one skin burn of leg caused by damaged electrode plate), laparotomy was requied in four of these cases. Seventeen complications occured during postoperative stage: 2 intraperitoneal hemorrhages needing laparotomy, 2 bowel injuries, 4 nerve paresis and 9 febrile morbidities.Conlusions. Operative gynecologic laparoscopy is associated with acceptable morbidity rate, but can not be overlooked. Complication rate seems to be higher in advanced procedures such as LAVH.

不同全麻下腹腔镜结肠癌切除术病人围术期细胞免疫功能的比较

Objective To compare the effects of different general anesthesia protocols on perioperative cellular immune function in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ colorectal cancer patients,aged 40-64 yr,weighing 50-85 kg,undergoing laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each):group total intravenous anesthesia (group Ⅰ) ; group inhalational anesthesia(group Ⅱ) and group combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia (group Ⅲ).Anesthesia was induced with iv midazolam,sufentanil,TCI of propofol and remifentanil and vecuronium in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ.In group Ⅰ anesthesia was maintained with TCI of propofol and remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium,while in group Ⅲ with inhalation of sevoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium.In group Ⅱ anesthesia was induced and maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium.Narcotrend index was used to monitor depth of anesthesia and maintained at 37-64 during operation.Venous blood samples were taken for determination of the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8 +) and natural killer cells at 30 min before induction of anesthesia (T0),2 h after skin incision (T1),at the end of operation (T2) and 24 h after operation (T3).Results The levels of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD4+/CD8+ and natural killer cells were significantly decreased at T2 in group Ⅱ,while the levels of natural killer cells were decreased at T2 in group Ⅲ as compared with the baseline at T0,and were significantly lower than those in group Ⅰ.The levels of CD3+ and CD4+ were significantly lower at T2 in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅲ.Conclusion Intravenous anesthesia with midazolam,propofol,sufentanil,remifentanil and vecuronium has less inhibitory effect on perioperative cellular immune function than inhalational anesthesia and combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.

妇科腹腔镜手术患者气腹不同阶段伤害性刺激强度的变化

Objective To evaluate the changes in noxious stimulation intensity at different periods of pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Forty-five ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-36 years,with body mass index of 18-23 kg/m2,undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery,were randomly divided into three groups (n =15 each).In group Ⅰ,anesthesia was maintained with target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil (with target plasma concentration of 4-6 ng/ml) and propofol (with target plasma concentration of 2 μg/ml),and the concentrations were adjusted according to the changes in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) to maintain hemodynamics stable.Group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ received inhalation of isoflurane (with the end-tidal concentration of 1％-2％) and TCI of remifentanil (with target plasma concentration of 2-4 ng/ml).TCI of remifentanil was then stopped at 5 minutes before pneumoperitoneum (group Ⅱ) or at 5 minutes after the end of rapid inflation (group Ⅲ),and isoflurane was inhaled (with the end-tidal concentration of 1％-2％) to maintain anesthesia until the end of operation in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Before anesthesia (T0),5 minutes before pneumoperitoneum (T1),after 5 and 15 minutes of pneumoperitoneum (T2,3),HR and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were monitored and venous blood samples were taken for determination of plasma concentrations of cortisol (Cor),norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E).Results HR,MAP,and NE and E concentrations at T2,3,and Cor concentrations at T3 were significantly higher than those at T0 in group Ⅱ.They were significantly higher in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05),but were significantly lower in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ (P＜0.05).Conclusion The intensity of noxious stimulation is strongest during rapid inflation among the different periods of pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery and the depth of anesthesia should be regulated.

腹腔镜手术患儿压力控制通气和容量控制通气效果的比较

Objective To compare the efficacy of pressure-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ children of both sexes,aged 12-36 months,weighing 9-15 kg,scheduled for laparoscopic surgery,were randomly divided into two groups (n =15 each):pressure-controlled ventilation group (group P) and volume-controlled ventilation group (group Ⅴ).After anesthesia was induced with propofol 2-4 mg/kg,vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg and fentanyl 2 μg/kg,the children received endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.The maximum inspiratory pressure was adjusted to make the tidal volume (VT) achieve 12 ml/kg in group P and the VT was set at 12 ml/kg in group V.The end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide (PET CO2) was controlled at 35-45 mm Hg.The mean arterial blood pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),arterial carbpn dioxide tension (PaCO2),PETCO2,minute ventilation and peak airway pressure were recorded immediately after intubation (T0),immediately before skin incision (T1),after 30 minutes of pneumoperitoneum (T2) and 15 minutes after the end of pneumoperitoneum (T3).Arterial blood samples were taken at the same time points mentioned above for blood gas analysis.Dynamic lung compliance and the ratio of the physiological dead space to the tidal volume were calculated.Results Compared with group Ⅴ,PaCO2 and PET CO2 were significantly decreased and dynamic lung compliance was significantly increased at T1-2,and minute ventilation and peak airway pressure were significantly decreased at T0-3 in group P (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in MAP,HR and the ratio of the physiological dead space to the tidal volume between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with volume-controlled ventilation,pressure-controlled ventilation can better improve the ventilatory efficacy,is more beneficial to gas exchange and reduces the influence of pneumoperitoneum on respiratory function in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

RETROPERITONEAL LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY FOR ADRENAL DISEASES (REPORT OF 136 CASES)

Objective: To summarize experiences in 136 cases of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Methods:From April 1997 to May 2002, retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery were performed for 136 cases of adrenal dis-eases. There were 63 aldosterone- producing adenoma, 22 adrenalcortical adenoma, 39 nonfunctional adrenal tu-mor, 7 adrenal cyst and 5 phenochromocytoma. Results: Except for one case converts to open surgery, success hasbeen achieved in all cases without major complications. Intraoperative blood loss was 76 + 32ml without blood trans-fusion. Postoperative hospital stay was 6 + 3 days. There were statistical differences among these indices when com-paring to those of open surgery for 126 cases with adrenal diseases( P ＜ 0.05). But operative time was little longer inlaparoscopic group than in group of open surgery(P＜0.05) ,whereas it has been changed to similar in those recentcases. Conclusion:Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery was less traumatic to the patients, with less postoperative dis-comfort and quicker recovery and should be considered the first choice of therapy for adrenal disorders.

Laparoscopic techniques have been extensively used for the surgical management of colorectal cancer during the last two decades. Accumulating data have demonstrated that laparoscopic colectomy is associated with better short-term outcomes and equivalent oncologic outcomes when compared with open surgery. However, some controversies regarding the oncologic quality of mini-invasive surgery for rectal cancer exist. Meanwhile, some progresses in colorectal surgery, such as robotic technology, single-incision laparoscopic surgery, natural orifice specimen extraction, and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, have been made in recent years. In this article, we review the published data and mainly focus on the current status and latest advances of mini-invasive surgery for colorectal cancer.
