Lucocq J, Nassar AHM. The effects of previous abdominal surgery and the utilisation of modified access techniques on the operative difficulty and outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:4559-4570. [PMID: 38951241 PMCID: PMC11289341 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10949-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early reports suggested that previous abdominal surgery was a relative contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) on account of difficulty and potential access complications. This study analyses different types/systems of previous surgery and locations of scars and how they affect access difficulties. As modified access techniques to minimise risk of complications are under-reported the study details and evaluates them. METHOD Prospectively collected data from consecutive LC and common bile duct explorations (LCBDE) performed by a single surgeon over 30 years was analysed. Previous abdominal surgery was documented and peri-operative outcomes were compared with patients who had no previous surgery using Chi-squared analysis. RESULTS Of 5916 LC and LCBDE, 1846 patients (31.2%) had previous abdominal surgery. The median age was 60 years. Those with previous surgery required more frequent duodenal (RR 1.07; p = 0.023), hepatic flexure (RR 1.11; p = 0.043) and distal adhesiolysis (RR 3.57; p < 0.001) and had more access related bowel injuries (0.4% vs. 0.0%; p < 0.001). Previous upper gastrointestinal and biliary surgery had the highest rates of adhesiolysis (76.3%), difficult cystic pedicles (58.8%), fundus-first approach (7.2%), difficulty grades (64.9% Grades 3-5) and utilisation of abdominal drains (71.1%). Previous open surgery resulted in longer operative time compared to previous laparoscopic procedures (65vs.55 min; p < 0.001), increased difficulty of pedicle dissection (42.4% vs. 36.0%; p < 0.05) and required more duodenal, hepatic flexure and distant adhesiolysis (p < 0.05) and fundus-first dissection (4% vs 2%; p < 0.05). Epigastric and supraumbilical access and access through umbilical and other hernias were used in 163 patients (8.8%) with no bowel complications. CONCLUSION The risks of access and adhesiolysis in patients with previous abdominal scars undergoing biliary surgery are dependent on the nature of previous surgery. Previous open, upper gastrointestinal and biliary surgery carried the most significant risks. Modified access techniques can be adopted to safely mitigate these risks.

Abstract
Robotic surgery is widely used in gastrointestinal surgery. While the application of robotic surgery for colon cancer patients with previous abdominal surgery (PAS) remains controversial for the fear of intra-abdominal adhesions. This study was aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of robotic colectomy for patients with PAS. The medical records of colon cancer patients who underwent robotic surgery at our hospital from June 2015 to August 2020 were extracted and analyzed. Propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis was implemented to minimize selection bias. We compared perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications between the patients with PAS or with no PAS (NPAS). A total of 79 patients (PAS group) and 348 patients (NPAS group) were included in our study. After PSM, 79 patients of PAS group and 79 patients of NPAS group were selected for further analysis. We did not find statistical difference in operative time, estimated blood loss, lymph nodes retrieved, length of hospital stay and hospital costs between the two groups. No difference was noted in the incidence of postoperative complications, conversion to open surgery and mortality between the two groups. According to the results of multivariate analysis, PAS was not identified as risk factor for postoperative complications. Left hemicolectomy and perioperative transfusion were associated with postoperative complications. PAS did not negatively affect the outcomes of robotic colectomy. After individually preoperative assessment, robotic surgery could be performed feasibly and safely for colon cancer patients with PAS.

The necessity and safety of simultaneous cholecystectomy during gastric surgery for patients with asymptomatic cholelithiasis. Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 17:1053-1060. [PMID: 37795528 DOI: 10.1080/17474124.2023.2264782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence of cholelithiasis is higher among individuals who have undergone gastric surgery. The benefits of concomitant gallbladder removal in asymptomatic gallstone patients remain uncertain. The aim was to investigate the necessity and safety of simultaneous cholecystectomy in this particular patient population. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the incidence of asymptomatic cholelithiasis converting to symptomatic after gastric surgery and the complication rate associated with simultaneous cholecystectomy. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant articles published until 10 March 202210 March 2022. RESULTS Patients with asymptomatic cholelithiasis after gastric surgery were at a higher risk of developing symptomatic cholelithiasis compared to those without cholelithiasis (relative risk [RR] 2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-4.25) and those with unknown gallbladder conditions (RR 2.70, 95% CI 1.54-4.73). Additionally, patients who underwent simultaneous cholecystectomy did not face a higher risk of complications compared to those who only underwent gastric surgery (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.48-1.53). CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous cholecystectomy is both necessary and safe for patients with asymptomatic cholelithiasis undergoing gastric surgery. It is crucial to assess the gallbladder's condition before gastric surgery, and if the gallbladder status is unknown, simultaneous cholecystectomy should be avoided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer are more likely to develop gallstones than the general population. Prophylactic cholecystectomy remains controversial. METHODS Studies from 2000-2022 were systematically searched in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. The search included simultaneous cholecystectomy or risk factors for gallstone formation with gastrectomy alone. Major prognostic factors included complications and mortality, and risk factor analyses included age, sex, TNM stage, gastrectomy type, lymph node dissection, diabetes, and duodenal exclusion. Random effects regression models were used to analyze risk estimates and data were presented as odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS There were no significant differences in postoperative morbidity (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.90-1.39; p = 0.33, I2 = 11%) and mortality (OR 1.23, 95% CI 0.62-2.43; p = 0.56, I2 = 0%) between gastrectomy alone and simultaneous cholecystectomy. Older age (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.36-1.59; p < 0.001, I2 = 59%), male sex (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.10-1.71; p = 0.004, I2 = 77%), total gastrectomy (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.25-1.81; p < 0.001, I2 = 72%), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.17-1.63; p < 0.001, I2 = 8%), and duodenal exclusion (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.47-2.15; p < 0.001, I2 = 30%) were risk factors for cholecystolithiasis. CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous cholecystectomy did not increase the incidence of postoperative complications or mortality. Older age, male sex, total gastrectomy, duodenal exclusion, and diabetes were risk factors for gallstone development after gastrectomy.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 20:408. [PMID: 36612732 PMCID: PMC9819914 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20010408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard treatment for patients with gallstones in the gallbladder. However, multiple risk factors affect the probability of conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open surgery. A greater understanding of the preoperative factors related to conversion is crucial to improve patient safety. In the present systematic review, we summarized the current knowledge about the main factors associated with conversion. Next, we carried out several meta-analyses to evaluate the impact of independent clinical risk factors on conversion rate. Male gender (OR = 1.907; 95%CI = 1.254−2.901), age > 60 years (OR = 4.324; 95%CI = 3.396−5.506), acute cholecystitis (OR = 5.475; 95%CI = 2.959−10.130), diabetes (OR = 2.576; 95%CI = 1.687−3.934), hypertension (OR = 1.931; 95%CI = 1.018−3.662), heart diseases (OR = 2.947; 95%CI = 1.047−8.296), obesity (OR = 2.228; 95%CI = 1.162−4.271), and previous upper abdominal surgery (OR = 3.301; 95%CI = 1.965−5.543) increased the probability of conversion. Our analysis of clinical factors suggested the presence of different preoperative conditions, which are non-modifiable but could be useful for planning the surgical scenario and improving the post-operatory phase.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims A history of upper abdominal surgery has been identified as a relative contraindication for laparoscopy. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with and without previous upper abdominal surgery. Methods In total, 131 patients with previous upper abdominal surgery and 64 without upper abdominal surgery underwent LC or LCBDE between September 2017 and September 2021 at the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University. Patients with previous upper abdominal surgery were divided into four groups: group A included patients with previous right upper abdominal surgery who underwent LC (n = 17), group B included patients with previous other upper abdominal surgery who underwent LC (n = 66), group C included patients with previous right upper abdominal surgery who underwent LCBDE (n = 30), and group D included patients with previous other upper abdominal surgery who underwent LCBDE (n = 18). Patient demographics and perioperative outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results The preoperative liver function indexes showed no significant difference between the observation and control groups. For patients who underwent LC, groups A and B had more abdominal adhesions than the control group. One case was converted to open surgery in each of groups A and B. There was no statistical difference in operation time, estimated blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and drainage volume. For patients who underwent LCBDE, groups C and D had more estimated blood loss than the control group (group C, 41.33 ± 50.84 vs. 18.97 ± 13.12 ml, p = 0.026; group D, 66.11 ± 87.46 vs. 18.97 ± 13.12 ml, p = 0.036). Compared with the control group, group C exhibited longer operative time (173.87 ± 60.91 vs. 138.38 ± 57.38 min, p = 0.025), higher drainage volume (296.83 ± 282.97 vs. 150.83 ± 127.04 ml, p = 0.015), and longer postoperative hospital stay (7.97 ± 3.68 vs. 6.17 ± 1.63 days, p = 0.021). There was no mortality in all groups. Conclusions LC or LCBDE is a safe and feasible procedure for experienced laparoscopic surgeons to perform on patients with previous upper abdominal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomies continue to pose trouble for surgeons in the face of severe inflammation. In the advent of inability to perform an adequate dissection, a "bailout cholecystectomy" is advocated. Conversion to open or subtotal cholecystectomy is among the standard bailout procedures in such instances. METHODS We performed a retrospective single institution review from January 2016 to August 2019. All patients who underwent a cholecystectomy were included, while those with a concurrent operation, malignancy, planned as an open cholecystectomy, or performed by a low volume surgeon were excluded. Patient characteristics, operative reports, and outcomes were collected, as were surgeon characteristics such as years of experience, case volume, and bailout rate. Univariable and multivariable analysis were performed. RESULTS 2458 (92.6%) underwent laparoscopic total cholecystectomy (LTC) and 196 (7.4%) underwent a bailout cholecystectomy (BOC). BOC patients tended to be older (p < 0.001), male (p < 0.001), have a longer duration of symptoms (p < 0.001), and higher ASA class (p < 0.001). They also had more signs of biliary inflammation, as evidenced by increased leukocytosis (p < 0.001), tachycardia (p < 0.001), bilirubinemia (p = 0.003), common bile duct dilation (p < 0.001), and gallbladder wall thickening (p < 0.001). The BOC cohort also had increased rates of complications, including bile leak (16%, p < 0.001), retained stone (5.1%, p = 0.005), operative time (114 min vs 79 min, p < 0.001), and secondary interventions (22.7%, p < 0.001). Male gender (aOR = 2.8, p < 0.001), preoperative diagnosis of acute cholecystitis (aOR = 2.2, p = 0.032), right upper quadrant tenderness (aOR = 3.0, p = 0.008), Asian race (aOR = 2.7, p = 0.014), and intraoperative adhesions (aOR = 13.0, p < 0.001) were found to carry independent risk for BOC. Surgeon bailout rate ≥ 7% was also found to be an independent risk factor for conversion to BOC. CONCLUSIONS Male gender, signs of biliary inflammation (tachycardia, leukocytosis, dilated CBD, and diagnosis of acute cholecystitis), as well as surgeon bailout rate of 7% were independent risk factors for BOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repeat hepatectomy and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are widely used to treat early recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (RHCC) located in the subcapsular region, but the optimal treatment strategy remains to be controversial. METHODS A total of 126 RHCC patients in the subcapsular location after initial radical hepatectomy were included in this study between Dec 2014 and Jan 2018. These patients were divided into the RFA group (46 cases) and the repeat hepatectomy group (80 cases). The primary endpoints include repeat recurrence-free survival (rRFS) and overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoint was complications. The propensity-score matching (PSM) was conducted to minimize the bias. Complications were evaluated using the Clavien-Dindo classification, and severe complications were defined as classification of complications of ≥grade 3. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the incidence of severe complications were observed between RFA group and repeat hepatectomy group in rRFS and OS both before (1-, 2-, and 3-year rRFS rates were 65.2%, 47.5%, and 33.3% vs 72.5%, 51.2%, and 39.2%, respectively, P = 0.48; 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 93.5%, 80.2%, and 67.9% vs 93.7%, 75.8%, and 64.2%, respectively, P = 0.92) and after PSM (1-, 2-, and 3-year rRFS rates were 68.6%, 51.0%, and 34.0% vs 71.4%, 42.9%, and 32.3%, respectively, P = 0.78; 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 94.3%, 82.9%, and 71.4% vs 88.6%, 73.8%, and 59.0%, respectively, P = 0.36). Moreover, no significant differences in the incidence of severe complications were observed between the RFA group and repeat hepatectomy group. CONCLUSION Both repeat hepatectomy and RFA are shown to be effective and safe for the treatment of RHCC located in the subcapsular region.

Abstract
Background and objective In this era of minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery procedures, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the prevailing treatment method for symptomatic cholelithiasis. However, there are some contraindications for this operation, such as a previous upper abdominal surgery. Additionally, the median conversion rate of LC is 5%. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of previous upper abdominal surgery on LC. Methods The study was designed as a single-center, retrospective, and observational analysis. A total of 277 LC patients were evaluated by classifying them into two groups - group A: those without previous upper abdominal surgery; group B: those with a history of previous upper abdominal surgery. Results Not surprisingly, the operation time and the degree of adhesions in group B were significantly higher compared to group A (p<0.001). On the other hand, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of complication rates, conversion rates, and the length of hospital stay (p=0.118, p=0.761, p=0.083, respectively). Conclusion LC is a safe method for cholelithiasis even in patients with a history of upper abdominal surgery. Previous upper abdominal surgery does not affect the conversion rates and length of hospital stay. Hence, previous upper abdominal surgery should not be accepted as a contraindication for LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous upper midline abdominal surgery is a reported relative contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We aimed to investigate the effects of previous upper abdominal surgery on the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy; we evaluated the effects of the previous upper abdominal surgery type on laparoscopic cholecystectomy with respect to complications and conversion to open surgery. METHODS We prospectively evaluated 1,258 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, including those who underwent upper midline abdominal surgery previously, at a single tertiary referral center. The perioperative and postoperative outcomes-open conversion rate, operation time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay-were evaluated. Patients were grouped according to the previous surgical method into the gastric (n = 77), non-gastric (n = 40), and control (n = 1141) groups. Patients in the gastric + non-gastric groups (n = 117) were 1:1 matched with those in the control group (n = 117) using propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS Before PSM, age, sex, open conversion rate, gallbladder status, port number, overall morbidity, and postoperative hospital stay duration did not significantly differ between the gastric and non-gastric groups; the body mass index (22.3 ± 3.4 versus 24.1 ± 3.8 kg/m2, p = 0.009) and operation time (129.9 ± 63.6 versus 97.9 ± 51.1 min, p = 0.004) significantly differed. After PSM, age, sex, body mass index, and American Society of Anesthesiology score did not significantly differ between gastric + non-gastric (n = 117) and conventional groups (n = 117; the operation time (118.9 ± 61.3 versus 75.8 ± 37.1 min, p < 0.001), open conversion rate (n = 6, 5.1% versus n = 0, 0.0%, p = 0.013), port number, overall morbidities (n = 26, 22.2% versus n = 10, 8.5%, p = 0.004), and postoperative hospital stay duration (6.7 ± 4.3 versus 5.5 ± 3.2 days, p = 0.031) significantly differed. CONCLUSION Previous upper midline abdominal surgery was not contraindicative to safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients with previous upper midline abdominal surgery undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be informed preoperatively of the probability of conversion to open surgery, lengthened duration, and associated morbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous upper abdominal surgery (PUAS) is considered a contraindication to laparoscopic surgery. Whether LCBDE-PC is feasible and beneficial for patients with PUAS remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and benefits of LCBDE-PC for patients with PUAS. METHODS From June 2011 to September 2019, 1167 patients who underwent laparoscopic procedures for choledocholithiasis were reviewed retrospectively. Perioperative outcomes were compared between patients with and without PUAS in un-matched and matched cohorts. RESULTS LCBDE-PC was performed successfully in 88.3% of patients with PUAS, and 92.5% of patients without PUAS (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that PUAS was not a risk factor that affected successful performance of LCBDE-PC. Although a higher rate of conversion to open surgery and longer operative time were observed in patients with PUAS, no significant differences were found between patients with and without PUAS in multivariate and propensity score analysis (P > 0.05). A predictive nomogram for LCBDE-PC failure was developed based on potential predictors from the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model. Successful performance of LCBDE-PC was associated with operative time. A linear regression model for operative time showed impacted stone in the CBD and intraoperative laser use was the most important factor in determining the operative time. CONCLUSION LCBDE-PC is feasible and beneficial for patients with PUAS. However, patients with PUAS with a high possibility of LCBDE-PC failure from the nomogram and a longer operative time from the linear regression model should be cautious when undergoing LCBDE-PC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portal vein embolization (PVE) is widely used to promote the hypertrophy of a future liver remnant (FLR) and reduce posthepatectomy liver failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of transileocecal portal embolization (TIPE) associated with staging laparoscopy (hybrid lap-TIPE) for a planned hepatectomy in advanced hepatobiliary cancers. METHODS The hybrid lap-TIPE procedure consisted of staging laparoscopy for complete screening of the abdominal cavity with cytoreductive surgery and subsequent TIPE. Data on hybrid lap-TIPE, performed between March 2013 and February 2020, were collected retrospectively. RESULTS Hybrid lap-TIPE was conducted for 52 patients, and a subsequent TIPE was accomplished in 42 patients (80.8%), since staging laparoscopy detected latent or unresectable factors in 13 patients (25.0%), among which 2 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and 1 with colorectal liver metastasis received laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery for latent lesions in the FLR. Finally, radical hepatectomy was completed in 36 patients (69.2%), including 3 patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery. The most common operation was an extended right hepatectomy (50.0%), followed by right hepatectomy (30.6%), including 3 hepatopancreatoduodenectomies. The overall morbidity associated with hybrid lap-TIPE and hepatectomy was 7.1% and 41.7%, respectively. The mortality associated with hybrid lap-TIPE and hepatectomy was 0% and 5.6%, respectively. The rates of 2-year survival and 2-year disease-free survival were 64.8% and 61.9%, respectively, after hepatectomy. CONCLUSIONS Hybrid lap-TIPE is safe and could be a useful treatment option for patients with advanced hepatobiliary cancer because it can help to identify optimal candidates for PVE followed by a planned hepatectomy.

Abstract
Introduction Numerous preoperative scoring systems predict difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Recently, the intraoperative difficulties which are facing surgeons are studied. A new scoring system categorize patients according to many intraoperative findings with a final outcome whether converting to open cholecystectomy or continuing laparoscopically. Patients and methods This prospective study included 120 patients admitted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones from October 2019 to August 2020. Intraoperative difficulties were evaluated and patients were categorized according to intraoperative scoring for cholecystitis severity and compared depending to the rate of conversion to the open technique. Results Most patient were middle aged females having multiple gallstones, the mean operation time was 35 min and 7.8% of patients were converted to open cholecystectomy because of intraoperative difficulty. There was a significant correlation between the conversion rate and each of distended and/or contracted gall bladder, inability to grasp the gall bladder with traumatic forceps, stone ≥1 cm impacted in Hartman's pouch, and bile or pus outside gallbladder (P values: 0.002, 0.000, 0.008 and 0.015) respectively, and no significant correlation with gallbladder adhesions, adhesions from previous upper abdominal surgery, BMI>30, and Time to identify cystic artery and duct >90 min (P values: 0.123, 1, 1, 0.078) respectively. Conclusion New intraoperative scoring systems are valuable in predicting difficulties and preventing increase operation time and possible injuries. The main points of difficulties are distended or contracted gallbladder, large stone impaction, difficult grasping the wall of the gall bladder and the presence of bile or pus outside the gall bladder.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure with some difficulties. The definition of difficult LC is not well established until now. Recently intraoperative difficulties facing the surgeons are studied. Inflammation, adhesions, and obesity are some factors for difficulty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia poses a particular challenge to the emergency surgical treatment of elderly patients with high-risk acute abdominal diseases. Elderly patients are a high-risk group for surgical treatment. If the incarceration of gallstones cannot be relieved, emergency surgery is unavoidable. CASE SUMMARY We report an 89-year-old male patient with acute gangrenous cholecystitis and septic shock induced by incarcerated cholecystolithiasis. He had several coexisting, high-risk underlying diseases, had a history of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, and was taking aspirin before the operation. Nevertheless, he underwent emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with maintenance of postoperative heart and lung function, successfully recovered, and was discharged on day 8 after the operation. CONCLUSION Emergency surgery for elderly patients with acute abdominal disease is safe and feasible during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the key is to abide strictly by the hospital's epidemic prevention regulations, fully implement the epidemic prevention procedure for emergency surgery, fully prepare before the operation, accurately perform the operation, and carefully manage the patient postoperatively.

Abstract
Recurrence of liver cancers inside the liver are often treated with liver resection (LR). However, increased risks of complications and conversion during operation were reported in laparoscopic repeat LR (LRLR). The indication is still controversial. One multi-institutional propensity score matching analysis of LRLR vs open repeat LR for hepatocellular carcinoma, two propensity score matching analyses for colorectal metastases, and two meta-analyses including hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, metastases, and other tumors have been reported to date. LRLR was reported with better to comparable short-term and similar long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the shorter operation time and the smaller amount of intraoperative bleeding for LRLR was reported for the patients who had undergone laparoscopic rather than open LR as an earlier procedure. The speculations are presented, that complete dissection of adhesion can be dodged and laparoscopic minor repeated LR can minimize the liver functional deterioration in cirrhotic patients. LRLR, as a powerful local therapy, could contribute to the long-term outcomes of those with deteriorated liver function. However, the procedure is now in its developing stage worldwide and further accumulation of experiences and evaluation are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy represents the gold standard technique for the treatment of lithiasic gallbladder disease. Although it has many advantages, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not risk-free and in special situations there is a need for conversion into an open procedure, in order to minimize postoperative complications and to complete the procedure safely. The aim of this study was to identify factors that can predict the conversion to open cholecystectomy. METHODS We analyzed 1323 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the last five years at St. Orsola University Hospital-Bologna and Umberto I University Hospital-Rome. Among these, 116 patients (8.7%) were converted into laparotomic cholecystectomy. Clinical, demographic, surgical and pathological data from these patients were included in a prospective database. A univariate analysis was performed followed by a multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS On univariate analysis, the factors significantly correlated with conversion to open were the ASA score higher than 3 and the comorbidity, specifically cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic renal failure (P<0.001). Patients with a higher mean age had a higher risk of conversion to open (61.9±17.1 vs. 54.1±15.2, P<0.001). Previous abdominal surgery and previous episodes of cholecystitis and/or pancreatitis were not statistically significant factors for conversion. There were four deaths in the group of converted patients and two in the laparoscopic group (P<0.001). Operative morbility was higher in the conversion group (22% versus 8%, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the factors significantly correlated to conversion were: age <65 years old (P=0.031 OR: 1.6), ASA score 3-4 (P=0.013, OR:1.8), history of ERCP (P=0.16 OR:1.7), emergency procedure (P=0.011, OR:1.7); CRP higher than 0,5 (P<0.001, OR:3.3), acute cholecystitis (P<0.001, OR:1.4). Further multivariate analysis of morbidity, postoperative mortality and home discharge showed that conversion had a significant influence on overall post-operative complications (P=0.011, OR:2.01), while mortality (P=0.143) and discharge at home were less statistically influenced. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that most of the independent risk factors for conversion cannot be modified by delaying surgery. Many factors reported in the literature did not significantly impact conversion rates in our results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study is to analyze the rate of no planificated hospitalization after ambulatory surgical procedures by laparoscopy, and identify associated risk factors to failure in the ambulatory manage of this patients. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed during 18 months and included 297 patients treated with ambulatory laparoscopies performed at University Hospital La Fe of Valencia. The need for hospital admission, same day after surgery, was considered the main variable. Variables were recorded for preoperatives, intraoperatives o postoperatives factors. To identify risk factors and variables associated with complications, statistical analyses were calculated with logistic regression models. RESULTS After laparoscopic surgery, the 8.1% of patients required hospitalization. This rate was significantly superior in gynecologic surgery, patients with previous surgery complications, superior ASA classified (II and III) and smokers. Likewise, patients with pneumoperitoneum time over 45minutes presented a higher hospitalization rate; also founded in patients with anesthetic or surgery complications (including conversion to laparotomy). At least, the rate of hospitalization was significantly superior in relation with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). CONCLUSION The rate of patients who need hospitalization after ambulatory laparoscopic surgery was 8.1%, of which 5.5% were general surgeries and 12.1% were gynecologic surgeries. The mots relationated factors with ambulatory manage failure, analyzed with multiple regression, were the appearance of surgery complications, the pneumoperitoneum time over 100minutes and the PONV.

Br J Surg 2020; 107:889-895. [PMID: 31994182 DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2019] [Revised: 09/08/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the absence of randomized controlled data and even propensity-matched data, indications for, and outcomes of, laparoscopic repeat liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain uncertain. This study aimed to clarify the current indications for laparoscopic repeat liver resection for HCC, and to evaluate outcomes. METHODS Forty-two liver surgery centres around the world registered patients who underwent repeat liver resection for HCC. Patient characteristics, preoperative liver function, tumour characteristics, surgical method, and short- and long-term outcomes were recorded. RESULTS Analyses showed that the laparoscopic procedure was generally used in patients with relatively poor performance status and liver function, but favourable tumour characteristics. Intraoperative blood loss (mean(s.d.) 254(551) versus 748(1128) ml; P < 0·001), duration of operation (248(156) versus 285(167) min; P < 0·001), morbidity (12·7 versus 18·1 per cent; P = 0·006) and duration of postoperative hospital stay (10·1(14·3) versus 11·8(11·8) days; P = 0·013) were significantly reduced for laparoscopic compared with open procedures, whereas survival time was comparable (median 10·04 versus 8·94 years; P = 0·297). Propensity score matching showed that laparoscopic repeat liver resection for HCC resulted in less intraoperative blood loss (268(730) versus 497(784) ml; P = 0·001) and a longer operation time (272(187) versus 232(129); P = 0·007) than the open approach, and similar survival time (12·55 versus 8·94 years; P = 0·086). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic repeat liver resection is feasible in selected patients with recurrent HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A history of abdominal biliary tract surgery has been identified as a relative contraindication for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), and there are very few reports about laparoscopic procedures in patients with a history of abdominal biliary tract surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of 227 consecutive patients with previous abdominal biliary tract operations at our institution between December 2013 and June 2019. A total of 110 consecutive patients underwent LCBDE, and 117 consecutive patients underwent open common bile duct exploration (OCBDE). Patient demographics and perioperative variables were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The LCBDE group performed significantly better than the OCBDE group with respect to estimated blood loss [30 (5-700) vs. 50 (10-1800) ml; p = 0.041], remnant common bile duct (CBD) stones (17 vs. 28%; p = 0.050), postoperative hospital stay [7 (3-78) vs. 8.5 (4.5-74) days; p = 0.041], and time to oral intake [2.5 (1-7) vs. 3 (2-24) days; p = 0.015]. There were no significant differences in the operation time [170 (60-480) vs. 180 (41-330) minutes; p = 0.067]. A total of 19 patients (17%) in the LCBDE group were converted to open surgery. According to Clavien's classification of complications, the LCBDE group had significantly fewer postoperative complications than the OCBDE group (40 vs. 57; p = 0.045). There was no mortality in either group. Multiple previous operations (≥ 2 times), a history of open surgery, and previous biliary tract surgery (including bile duct or gallbladder + bile duct other than cholecystectomy alone) were risk factors for postoperative adhesion (p = 0.000, p = 0.000, and p = 0.000, respectively). CONCLUSION LCBDE is ultimately the least invasive, safest, and the most effective treatment option for patients with previous abdominal biliary tract operations and is especially suitable for those with a history of cholecystectomy, few previous operations (< 2 times), or a history of laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous abdominal surgery (PAS) is a relative contraindication of laparoscopic surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of PAS on the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (LRYGB) in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted for a total of 235 consecutive patients with obesity and T2DM from Shanghai Tongren Hospital from February 2011 to December 2015. The patients were classified into two groups: no previous abdominal surgery group (NPAS group, n = 179) and previous abdominal surgery group (PAS group, n = 56). The patients underwent LRYGB, and the data of basic information, presence of adhesions, adhesiolysis requirement, operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, and perioperative and postoperative complications were collected and compared between the groups. RESULTS Adhesion was found in 14 patients in the NPAS group and in 43 patients in the PAS group, with adhesiolysis requirement in 4 (2.23%) and 37 (66.07%) patients, respectively (P < 0.05). There were no complications directly associated with adhesiolysis. No patients were converted to open surgery. There were no significant differences in gender (P = 0.30), T2DM duration (P = 0.58), body mass index (P = 0.06), blood loss (P = 0.36), or perioperative or postoperative complications (P = 0.41) between the groups. Significant differences were observed in the mean age, ASA score, operative time, and hospital stay between the groups (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS PAS is relatively safe and feasible for LRYGB in Chinese patients with obesity and T2DM.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to evaluate the effect of simultaneous cholecystectomy on the short-term postoperative outcomes and nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 4,820 patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy from January 2011 to December 2016. Patients who underwent only gastrectomy (N=4,578) were matched to those who underwent simultaneous cholecystectomy during gastrectomy (N=242) at a 1:1 ratio using propensity score matching analysis. The nutritional status and inflammatory responses preoperatively and postoperatively and postoperative outcomes were compared between the groups. Results The simultaneous cholecystectomy group showed more intraoperative blood loss and a longer operative time than the gastrectomy only group [150.0 (100.0, 200.0) mL vs. 100.0 (100.0, 200.0) mL, P=0.006; 176.0 (150.0, 210.0) min vs. 155.0 (128.0, 188.0) min, P<0.001, respectively]. Intraoperative event rate, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative recovery did not differ between the groups. All parameters including body weight, the hemoglobin level, absolute lymphocyte count, total protein level, albumin level, fasting glucose level, and prognostic nutritional index excluding the cholesterol level were not significantly different between the groups, and their changing patterns were similar. Although the cholesterol level was significantly lower in the simultaneous cholecystectomy group than in the gastrectomy only group at all follow-up points, the mean value of the decreased cholesterol level was within normal range.
Conclusions In gastric cancer patients with gallbladder disease, simultaneous cholecystectomy is safe and not associated with additional nutritional loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is technical challenge for patients with previous upper abdominal surgery (UAS), especially for those with previous liver resection. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection for patients with previous UAS, in comparison with primary laparoscopic liver resection which means patients without previous upper abdominal surgery (non-UAS). METHODS All case-matched articles published from date of inception to 15th April 2018 were identified independently by two reviewers. Perioperative outcomes were analyzed. Data were extracted and calculated by random- or fixed-effect models. In addition, subgroup analysis according to patients with history of liver resection was performed. RESULTS A total of 8 non-randomized observational articles were included, with 1625 patients (430 patients in UAS group and 1195 in non-UAS group). The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in perioperative outcomes. In the subgroup analysis of patients with a history of liver resection, however, LH for patients with previous liver resection had longer operative time comparing with patients without previous liver resection (WMD = 33.03, 95% CI 3.16 to 62.90, P = 0.030); other perioperative outcomes were similar between UAS and non-UAS groups. CONCLUSION LH is feasible and safe for selected patients with previous UAS comparing with that of primary resection, although LH has longer operative time for patients with previous liver resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to develop a grading system to enable pre-operative prediction of technical difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy using retrospective data and to attempt to validate our scoring system prospectively. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted of 100 consecutive patients. Pre-operative variables were collected based on a template devised by the American College of Surgeons. Outcomes were duration of surgery, conversion to open and post-operative complications. Multivariate analysis with subsequent measurement of hazard ratios was used to formulate a weighted grading system. Prospective analysis was performed of 100 consecutive patients who were scored pre-operatively. Outcomes were duration of surgery and length of stay. RESULTS Retrospective univariate analysis identified four variables associated with an increase in duration of surgery: male gender (p = 0.023), age (p = 0.000), body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.000) and pre-operative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (p = 0.001). Prospective analysis revealed weak positive correlations between the scoring system and duration of surgery (0.34) and length of stay (0.40). CONCLUSION We have identified four pre-operative variables that predicted a longer duration of surgery. Preliminary results suggest a positive correlation between this scoring system and duration of surgery. An adequately powered prospective multi-centre study is needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES With increased experience and technological advancement, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported to be safe and feasible even in the presence of most of the previously recognized contraindications. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of prior upper and lower abdominal surgery on laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective evaluation of all sequential patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from January 2014 to June 2016 was conducted. Patients were divided into three groups (Group A: patients without any prior abdominal surgical procedures; Group B: patients with prior upper abdominal surgical procedures; and Group C: patients with prior lower abdominal surgical procedures). RESULTS A total of 329 patients were assessed. Group A consisted of 223, Group B of 18, and Group C of 88 patients. A statistically significantly higher operative time, postoperative pain, and complication rate after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were noted in patients with prior upper abdominal surgery. The groups were comparable regarding patients' demographics and surgery indications. The length of hospital stay was not statistically different between the groups (p=0.065). CONCLUSION According to the results of the current study, prior upper abdominal surgery leads to a significantly longer procedure time, higher postoperative pain, and complication rates after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the length of hospital stay was not affected by the parameters investigated.

Abstract
Background Previous gastrectomy can lead to an increased incidence of cholecystocholedocholithiasis (CCL) and increased morbidity rate. However, the appropriate treatment strategy for patients with CCL and a history of gastrectomy remains unclear. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with CCL and a history of gastrectomy who underwent either one-stage laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration with stone clearance and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCBDE+LC) or two-stage endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography followed by LC (ERCP+LC) from May 2010 to March 2018. Results The success rate of ERCP for CBD stone clearance was 81.2% in patients with a history of Billroth I gastrectomy and 23.7% in patients with a history of Billroth II or Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy [χ2 = 97.67, P < 0.001, risk ratio (RR) = 3.43]. The success rate of second-step LC after successful ERCP for removal of CBD stones and the success rate of LCBDE+LC after ERCP treatment failure were 96.8 and 87.7%, respectively, in patients with preoperative intra-abdominal adhesion evaluation scores of ≤3 points. These success rates were 28.6 and 27.6%, respectively, in patients with scores of > 3 points (χ2 = 59.70, P < 0.001, RR = 3.38 and χ2 = 53.41, P < 0.001, RR = 3.27, respectively). Conclusions Based on the results of this study, ERCP+LC seems to be an attractive strategy for treatment of CCL in patients with a history of Billroth I gastrectomy, and LCBDE+LC appears to be suitable for patients with a history of Billroth II or Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Preoperative evaluation of intra-abdominal adhesions helps to reduce the conversion rate of laparoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Liver resection (LR) is now actively applied to intrahepatic recurrence of liver metastases and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although indications of laparoscopic LR (LLR) have been expanded, there are increased risks of intraoperative complications and conversion in repeat LLR. Controversy still exists for the indication. There are 16 reports of small series to date. These studies generally reported that repeat LLR has better short-term outcomes than open (reduced bleedings, less or similar morbidity and shorter hospital stay) without compromising the long-term outcomes. The fact that complete adhesiolysis can be avoided in repeat LLR is also reported. In the comparison of previous procedures, it is reported that the operation time for repeat LLR was shorter for the patients previously treated with LLR than open. Furthermore, it is speculated that LLR for minor repeat LR of cirrhotic liver can be minimized the deterioration of liver function by LR. However, further experience and evaluation of anatomical resection or resections exposing major vessels as repeat LLR, especially after previous anatomical resection, are needed. There should be a chance to prolong the overall survival of the patients by using LLR as a powerful local therapy which can be applied repeatedly with minimal deterioration of liver function.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with previous abdominal surgery (PAS). The outcomes were compared in 139 patients (103 upper and 36 lower abdominal surgeries) with PAS and 361 without PAS who underwent LCBDE. The operative time, hospital stay, rate of open conversion, postoperative complications, duct clearance, and blood loss were compared. Patients with PAS had longer operative times (P = 0.006), higher hospital costs (P = 0.043), and a higher incidence of wound complications (P = 0.011) than those without PAS. However, there were no statistically significant in the open conversion rate, blood loss, hospital stay, bile leakage, biliary strictures, residual stones, and mortality between patients with and without PAS (P > 0.05). Moreover, compared with those without PAS, patients with previous upper abdominal surgery (PUAS) had longer operative times (P = 0.005), higher hospital costs (P = 0.030), and a higher open conversion rate (P = 0.043), but patients with previous lower abdominal surgery (PLAS) had a higher incidence of wound complications (P
= 0.022). LCBDE is considered safe and feasible for patients with PAS, including those with PUAS.

Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is considered the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic gallbladder stones and has replaced the traditional open cholecystectomy (OC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the proper indications of the primary OC and conversion from LC and their predictive factors. This study includes all patients who underwent cholecystectomy between January 2011 and June 2016, whether open from the start (group A), conversion from laparoscopic approach (group B), or laparoscopic cholecystectomy (group C). There were 3269 patients underwent cholecystectomy. LC was completed in 3117 (95.4%) patients. The overall conversion rate was 83 (2.5%). The main two causes of conversion were adhesion in 35 (42.2%) patients and unclear anatomy in 29 (34.9%) patients. Primary OC was indicated in 69 (2.1%) patients due to previous history of upper abdominal operations in 16 (23.2%) patients and anesthetic problem in 21 (30.4%) patients. Age >60 years, male sex, diabetic patients, history of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, dilated common bile duct, gallbladder status, adhesion, and previous upper abdominal operation were demonstrated to be independent risk factors for OC. Open cholecystectomy still has a place in the era of laparoscopy. Conversion should not be a complication, but it represents a valuable choice to avoid an additional risk. Safe OC required training because of the causes of conversion, usually unsafe anatomy, occurrence of complications, or anesthetic problems, in order to prevent disastrous complications.

Abstract
The optimal treatment for appendiceal mass formed after appendiceal rupture due to acute appendicitis is surrounded with controversy. The treatment strategy ranges from open surgery (emergency or interval appendectomy), laparoscopic appendectomy, and image-guided drainage, to conservative treatment with or without antibiotics. Nonsurgical treatment (including conservative and drainage treatment), followed by interval appendectomy to prevent recurrence, is the traditional management of these patients. The need for interval appendectomy after a successful conservative or/and image-guided drainage treatment, has recently been questioned as the risk of recurrence is relatively small. Several authors consider that even in cases involving only ambulatory follow-up observation, without interval surgery after conservative management, the recurrence rate and risks of missing underlying pathologies were not high. This article evaluates the minimally invasive treatment modalities in the management of appendiceal mass, risk of undetected serious disease, and the need for interval appendectomy to prevent recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The gallbladder remnant and the cystic duct stump calculi are uncommon causes of post-cholecystectomy syndrome. Re-exploration is usually needed in the cases where symptom persists. Very few case series and reports are available regarding laparoscopic re-exploration. AIM To assess the safety and feasibility of Laparoscopic re-exploration in the cases of gallbladder remnant and cystic duct stump calculi leading to post cholecystectomy syndromes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, laparoscopic re-explorations was done in 22 patients in which 17 patients had gallbladder remnant calculi and 5 had cystic duct stump calculi. The study considered parameters like the operative time, conversion rate, post-operative complications, post-operative hospital stay and mortality in these patients. The duration of study was 15 years and the data was retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The median operating time was 83 minutes (range 51 to 134 minutes). Only one patient had conversion to open surgery. In postoperative period two patients had bile leak. They were managed conservatively and leak subsided in 8 and 11 days respectively. One patient had postoperative bleeding not requiring blood transfusion. There was no major complication requiring further intervention and no mortality. Patients were discharged on median day 4 (range 2-11) after the surgery. Patients were followed up every 3 months for one year. However, out of these three patients did not turn up for follow-up. CONCLUSION In expert hands laparoscopic re-exploration of the gallbladder remnant/cystic duct stump calculi can be performed within a reasonable operating time. The conversion to conventional re-exploration rate was very low with minimal post-operative complications and shorter hospital stay.

Abstract
Recent advances in minimally invasive surgery include laparoscopic and robotic surgery. These surgical techniques have changed the paradigm of surgical treatment for hepatobiliary diseases. Minimally invasive surgery has the advantages of minimal wound extension for cosmetic effect, early postoperative recovery, and few postoperative complications in patients. For laparoscopic liver resection, the indications have been expanded and oncological outcome was proven to be similar with open surgery in the malignant disease. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a classical operation for benign gallbladder diseases and the effort to decrease the surgical wound resulted to perform single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. For choledochal cyst, laparoscopic surgery is applied gradually despite of the difficulties associated with anastomosis, and robotic surgery for hepatobiliary disease is also performed for more minimally invasive surgery; however, while admitting the advantage of robotic surgery, robotic technology should be improved for development of more convenient and cheaper instrument and continuous efforts to enhance surgical technique to overcome long operation is necessary. In this review, the status and future perspectives of minimally invasive surgery for hepatobiliary diseases are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
The development of intestinal obstruction after upper and lower abdominal surgery is part of the daily life of each every surgeon. Despite this, there are very few good quality studies that allow enable assessment of the frequency of intestinal obstruction to be assessed, even although postoperative adhesions are the cause of considerable direct and indirect morbidity and its prevention can be considered a public health problem. And yet, in Mexico, at this time, there is no validated recommendation validated on the prevention of adhesions, or more particularly, in connection with the use of a variety of anti-adhesion commercial products which have been marketed for at least a decade. Intraperitoneal adhesions develop between surfaces without peritoneum of the abdominal organs, mesentery, and abdominal wall. The most common site of adhesions is between the greater omentum and anterior abdominal wall previous. Despite the frequency of adhesions and their direct and indirect consequences, just there is only one published a recommendation (from gynaecological literature), regarding peritoneal adhesion prevention. As regards of colorectal surgery, performed more than 250,000 colorectal resections are performed annually in the United States, and from 24% to 35% of them will develop a complication. The clinical and economic financial burden of these complications is enormous, and surgeries colorectal surgery been specifically highlighted as a potential point prevention point of surgical morbidity.

Abstract
Lymphedema is a chronic debilitating disease, affecting a considerable part of the population; it results from impairment of the lymphatic system. It is highly prevalent among patients subjected to axillary and groin nodal dissection after surgery for breast cancer, abdominopelvic surgery, and lymphadenectomy after melanoma surgery. Interestingly, among the surgical treatment options for lymphedema, groin lymph node transfer is gaining popularity; however, in some cases, dissection at this site can cause significant morbidity, including possible development of iatrogenic lymphedema. To avoid these complications, new donor nodal groups are being proposed (eg, submental or supraclavicular). We have used the greater omentum as a lymph node and lymph vessel donor site. Dissection of the omentum is easy to perform and can even be done in patients who have undergone previous abdominal surgeries. We present refinements in the surgical technique for free omentum transfer in the management of secondary lymphedema: the first free omental flap dissection performed laparoscopically and the use of a primary flap as the recipient pedicle of a free greater omentum flap for anatomical repair after chest osteoradionecrosis and simultaneous functional repair of chronic lymphedema.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aim to develop a risk stratification tool to preoperatively predict conversion (CONV) from a laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy. METHODS Multiple risk factors were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression and presented as probability nomograms. RESULTS Of 732 patients, 47 (6.4%) required CONV. Among 40 preoperative risk factors evaluated, 5 variables were found to have significant association with CONV: 2 clinical variables, previous upper abdominal surgery (odds ratio [OR] 95.2) and obesity defined as body mass index greater than 30 kg/m(2) (OR 12.3), and 3 ultrasound parameters, visible choledocholithiasis (OR 19.8), impacted stone at the neck of the gallbladder (OR 5.9), and gallbladder wall width in millimeters (OR 2.1). Nomograms based on this multivariate model demonstrate the individual preoperative probability of CONV. Internal validation using receiver operator curve analysis showed an area under the curve of .97. CONCLUSION Four probability nomograms were developed as a practical individual risk stratification tool to predict probability of CONV.

Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is increasingly being performed in patients treated with previous abdominal surgery. This is a retrospective study designed to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic right colectomy in patients with a previous history of gastrectomy. METHODS Of 838 consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic right colectomy, 23 had previously undergone gastrectomy (PG group) and 516 had no history of previous abdominal surgery (NS group). The short-term surgical outcomes were retrospectively investigated in the PG and NS groups. RESULTS The median patient age was 75 years in the PG group and 67 years in the NS group (p = 0.0026), and the median body mass index in both groups was 19.2 and 22.6 kg/m(2), respectively (p = 0.0006). The mean operative time, amount of blood loss and postoperative hospital stay were similar. One patient in the PG group and five patients in the NS group required conversion to laparotomy (p = 0.1307). Three patients in the PG group experienced postoperative complications, one each with an intraperitoneal abscess, wound infection and enterocolitis; however, none of these complications were directly attributable to adhesiolysis. The rates of intraoperative and postoperative complications were similar. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic right colectomy is feasible in patients treated with previous gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study seeks to investigate the outcomes of laparoscopic procedures in patients with previous open abdominal surgery. METHODS Using data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2005 to 2009), we identified patients who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Nissen fundoplication, Heller myotomy, splenectomy, Roux-en-Y, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric band, appendectomy, or colectomy. Patients were then classified as to whether adhesiolysis (AD) was also carried out. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was used to compare groups. RESULTS A total of 162,415 patients met our inclusion criteria, comprising 4,501 (3%) in the AD group and 157,913 (97%) in the nonadhesiolysis (NAD) group. Patient who had received lysis of adhesion were older, had 41% higher odds of overall complications, 17% higher adjusted mean lysis of adhesion (P < .001), and 26% higher adjusted mean operation duration (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS A history of previous open abdominal surgery increases the potential complication rate and hospital length of stay during subsequent laparoscopic surgery. The extent of this relationship deserves further investigation.

Abstract
AIM To assess clinical outcomes of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) in patients with a history of upper abdominal surgery and repeat hepatectomy. METHODS This study compared the perioperative courses of patients receiving LH at our institution that had or had not previously undergone upper abdominal surgery. Of the 80 patients who underwent LH, 22 had prior abdominal surgeries, including hepatectomy (n = 12), pancreatectomy (n = 3), cholecystectomy and common bile duct excision (n = 1), splenectomy (n = 1), total gastrectomy (n = 1), colectomy with the involvement of transverse colon (n = 3), and extended hysterectomy with extensive lymph-node dissection up to the upper abdomen (n = 1). Clinical indicators including operating time, blood loss, hospital stay, and morbidity were compared among the groups. RESULTS Eighteen of the 22 patients who had undergone previous surgery had severe adhesions in the area around the liver. However, there were no conversions to laparotomy in this group. In the 58 patients without a history of upper abdominal surgery, the median operative time was 301 min and blood loss was 150 mL. In patients with upper abdominal surgical history or repeat hepatectomy, the operative times were 351 and 301 min, and blood loss was 100 and 50 mL, respectively. The median postoperative stay was 17, 13 and 12 d for patients with no history of upper abdominal surgery, patients with a history, and patients with repeat hepatectomy, respectively. There were five cases with complications in the group with no surgical history, compared to only one case in the group with a prior history. There were no statistically significant differences in the perioperative results between the groups with and without upper abdominal surgical history, or with repeat hepatectomy. CONCLUSION LH is feasible and safe in patients with a history of upper abdominal surgery or repeat hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Our aim was to assess the impact of male gender on the outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by eliminating associated risk factors for conversion. METHODS A quantitative comparative study was set up on the background of our null hypothesis that male gender has no impact on the outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We performed a retrospective study of 241 patients and recorded the duration of surgery, length of postoperative hospital stay, conversion rate, and procedure-specific complications. Risk factors for conversion were excluded. Inferential statistics were applied, and a 2-sided P value of < .05 was considered the cutoff point to indicate the amount of evidence against the null hypothesis. We used SPSS for Windows, version 12 (IBM, Armonk, New York). Parametric data were analyzed with the independent-samples t test, and nonparametric data were analyzed with the χ(2) test. RESULTS A total of 175 women (72.6%) and 66 men (27.4%) underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The mean age was 51.4 ± 14.8 years for women and 55 ± 12.7 years for men (P = .08). Women had a higher body mass index (28.4 ± 4.5) than men (26.8 ± 3.5) (P < .005). There were no statistically significant differences in the conversion rate and perioperative morbidity rate. The conversion rate was 2.9% for women and 7.5% for men (P = .142); the morbidity rate was 10.2% and 12.1%, respectively (P = .66). The mean duration of surgery was longer in men, at 67.9 ± 27.8 minutes, than in women, at 56.5 ± 23.98 minutes (P < .002). Both genders had an equal length of postoperative hospital stay, with 1.9 ± 1.8 days for men and 1.9 ± 2.1 days for women (P = .8). CONCLUSIONS Male gender has no impact on the outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Gender affects the duration of surgery. Larger-scale studies may disclose the factors responsible for variations in the operative time.

Abstract
Living donor kidney transplant is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease; however, the shortage of kidney donors remains a big problem. One of the major reasons for the shortage of living donors is the risk of potentially serious surgical complications of a procedure in which the donor has no personal medical benefit. Therefore it is important to understand the risk factors for perioperative complications associated with donor nephrectomy. Hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is the preferred approach for kidney procurement in many medical centers. This review gives an overview of the risk factors in donor nephrectomy and more specifically in hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little information is available on the effects of adding laparoscopic cholecystectomy to laparoscopic gastrectomy on outcomes of patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of adding laparoscopic cholecystectomy to laparoscopic gastrectomy on outcomes in patients with gastric cancer using a national administrative database. METHODS A total of 14,006 patients treated with laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer were referred to 744 hospitals in Japan between 2009 and 2011. Patients were divided into two groups, those who also underwent simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones (n = 1484) and those who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy alone (n = 12,522). Laparoscopy-related complications, in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and medical costs during hospitalization were compared in the patient groups. RESULTS Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that adding laparoscopic cholecystectomy did not affect laparoscopy-related complications (odds ratio, 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84-1.24; P = 0.788) or in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.49-2.76; P = 0.727). Multiple linear regression analysis also showed that adding laparoscopic cholecystectomy did not affect the length of stay (unstandardized coefficient, 0.37 d; 95% CI, -0.47 to 1.22 d; P = 0.389). However, adding laparoscopic cholecystectomy was associated with significantly increased medical costs during hospitalization (unstandardized coefficient, $1256.0 (95% CI, $806.2-$1705.9; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that adding laparoscopic cholecystectomy did not affect outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, although medical costs during hospitalization were significantly increased.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatolithiasis removal is associated with high rates of postoperative residual and recurrence, which in some cases may require multiple surgeries. The progress and development of laparoscopic techniques introduced a new way of treating hepatolithiasis. However, the selection criteria for laparoscopic hepatolithiasis surgery, particularly among patients with a history of biliary surgery, remain undetermined. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of reoperation for the treatment of hepatolithiasis via a laparoscopic approach. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the perioperative course and outcomes was performed on 90 patients who underwent laparoscopic procedures for hepatolithiasis between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2012. Thirty-eight patients had previous biliary tract operative procedures (PB group) and 52 patients had no previous biliary tract procedures (NPB). RESULTS There was no significant difference in operative time (342.3 ± 101.0 vs. 334.1 ± 102.7 min), intraoperative blood loss (561.2 ± 458.8 vs. 546.3 ± 570.5 ml), intraoperative transfusion (15.8 vs. 19.2 %), postoperative hospitalization (12.6 ± 4.2 vs. 13.4 % ± 6.3 days), postoperative complications (18.4 vs. 23.1 %), conversion to open laparotomy (10.5 vs. 9.6 %), or intraoperative stone clearance rate (94.7 vs. 90.4 %). There was also no significant difference in stone recurrence (7.9 vs. 11.5 %) and recurrent cholangitis (5.3 vs. 13.5 %) at a mean of 19 months of follow-up (range, 3-51 months) for PB patients compared to NPB patients. The final stone clearance rate was 100 % in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Reoperation for hepatolithiasis by laparoscopic approach is safe and feasible for selected patients who have undergone previous biliary operations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the reasons and risk factors for intraoperative conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy. METHODS The study involved 407 patients in whom laparoscopic cholecystectomy was planned between January 1998 and July 2006. The patients were divided into two groups (the LC completed group and the conversion group), and the two groups were compared. RESULTS Laparoscopic surgery was intraoperatively converted to open surgery in 47 cases (11.6 %). The reasons for the conversion consisted of adhesions (15 cases), inflammation (8 cases), adhesion plus inflammation (9 cases), bleeding (8 cases), common bile duct injury (4 cases), suspected common bile duct injury (1 case), injury of the duodenal bulb (1 case) and respiratory disorder (1 case). The group of patients who required conversion to open surgery had a significantly higher percentage of males (P = 0.042) and prevalence of acute cholecystitis (P < 0.001) than the group of patients for whom laparoscopic surgery could be completed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis of these significant predictors showed that male sex [odds ratio (OR) 1.95] and acute cholecystitis (OR 8.45) were significant. CONCLUSION Particular attention is needed when laparoscopic surgery is considered for male patients with acute cholecystitis.

KOREAN JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SURGERY 2012; 16:154-9. [PMID: 26388927 PMCID: PMC4574995 DOI: 10.14701/kjhbps.2012.16.4.154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2012] [Revised: 10/15/2012] [Accepted: 10/16/2012] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims We aimed to to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) in patients with previous upper abdominal surgery. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on data from the attempted laparoscopic common bile duct exploration in 44 patients. Among them, 5 patients with previous lower abdominal operation were excluded. 39 patients were divided into two groups according to presence of previous upper abdominal operation; Group A: patients without history of abdominal operation. (n=27), Group B: patients with history of upper abdominal operation. Both groups (n=12) were compared to each other, with respect to clinical characteristics, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, open conversion rate, postoperative complication, duct clearance and mortality. Results All of the 39 patients received laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and choledochotomy with T-tube drainage (n=38 [97.4%]) or with primary closure (n=1). These two groups were not statistically different in gender, mean age and presence of co-morbidity, mean operation time (164.5±63.1 min in group A and 134.8±45.2 min in group B, p=0.18) and postoperative hospital stay (12.6±5.7 days in group A and 9.8±2.9 days in group B, p=0.158). Duct clearance and complication rates were comparable (p>0.05). 4 cases were converted to open in group A and 1 case in group B respectively. In group A (4 of 27 (14.8%) and 1 of 12 (8.3%) in group B, p=0.312) Trocar or Veress needle related complication did not occur in either group. Conclusions LCBDE appears to be a safe and effective treatment even in the patients with previous upper abdominal operation if performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeon, and it can be the best alternative to failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for difficult cholelithiasis.
