Laparoscopic 'D2 first' approach for obscure gallbladders.

ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has a reported incidence of 4%-15% of conversion to an open procedure and one of the main reasons behind the conversion is a gallbladder (GB) wrapped with dense adhesions. It is prudent to convert the procedure to an open operation in patients with particularly dense adhesions when the GB is not visible, preventing safe dissection which carries a potential risk of duodenal or colonic injury. The technique described, namely laparoscopic 'D2 first' approach, enables the completion of laparoscopic procedure in patients with 'obscure' GBs.

Cranial-first approach for laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy.

Project description:Complete mesocolic excision and central vascular ligation with D3 lymphadenectomy are important surgical principles for improving oncological outcomes in colon cancer. The cranial-first approach is a colonic mobilization-first approach to radical right hemicolectomy, which has several advantages, including early feasibility assessment, safe dissection from surrounding organs, preestablished inferior margin of lymph node dissection, and revelation of the tangible anatomy of the tributaries of the gastrocolic trunk. This video demonstrates the cranial-first approach to radical right hemicolectomy in a 66-year-old man with locally advanced cecal cancer.

Compliance to D2 lymphadenectomy in laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Project description:The objective of this study is to describe the compliance to D2 lymphadenectomy in laparoscopic gastrectomy. Radical partial or total gastrectomy with modified D2 lymphadenectomy is the standard of care for locally advanced gastric cancer. It is unclear whether compliance to D2 lymphadenectomy in laparoscopy is comparable to that in open surgery. A review of the literature was performed and results are described in a descriptive review. Available randomized trials are mostly performed for early gastric cancer, for which formal D2 lymphadenectomy is usually not required. Most trials report no differences in number of retrieved lymph nodes between open and laparoscopic gastrectomy. Only one trial used adherence to D2 lymphadenectomy as primary outcome parameter, and found no difference between laparoscopic and open gastrectomy. Results from randomized trials in advanced gastric cancer are awaited. In the meantime, the laparoscopic approach can be used in experienced centers.

Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy with total mesopancreas dissection using counterclockwise technique and tail-first approach.

Project description:Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy (LTP) is technically challenging and infrequently documented in the literature. In this paper, we present a new approach for performing fully LTP, a pancreatic tail-first approach with a counterclockwise technique, to accomplish total mesopancreas dissection and standard lymphadenectomy en bloc. Firstly, the tail and body of the pancreas without the spleen were dissected retrogradely, starting from the lower border of the body of pancreas and then from left to right. After that, a counterclockwise dissection of the tail and body of the pancreas was performed. The splenic artery and vein were divided at the terminal end of the pancreatic tail. The spleen was preserved. The entire body and tail of the pancreas were then pulled to the right side. This maneuver facilitated the isolation and dissection of arteries in the retropancreatic region more easily via laparoscopy, including the splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery, and supporting superior mesenteric artery first-approach. It also enabled total mesopancreas dissection. The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery was resected last during this phase. The remainder of the dissection was like that of a laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with total mesopancreas dissection, involving two laparoscopic manual anastomoses. The operative time was 490 minutes and the total blood loss was 100 mL. Pathology revealed a low-grade intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm extending from the head to the tail of the pancreas.

"Liver parenchyma dissecting-first" method facilitates the Glissonean pedicle approach in anatomical laparoscopic hepatolobectomy.

Project description:BackgroundAnatomical laparoscopic hepatolobectomy (ALH) is a difficult and challenging operation, and avoiding massive hemorrhage during parenchyma transection remains one of its major concern. Glissonean pedicle approach (GPA) has achieved great success in open liver surgery due to its simplicity and reproducibility, but it is difficult to apply in ALH for the limited vision and motion. We thus aimed to introduce a modified method to facilitate the GPA in ALH.MethodsIn this retrospective study, in 15 patients who underwent ALH (at least 2 couinaud segments), the liver parenchyma was dissected at first (LPDF) adequately under intermittent total inflow control to reveal the Glissonean pedicle (GP) sufficiently for safe and precise transection. The technical details of LPDF for different types of hepatolobectomy and a modified laparoscopic Pringle maneuver are described, and the surgical outcomes are reviewed.ResultsLPDF was applied in all patients, and intraoperative blood transfusion was not needed. LPDF facilitated GPA in ALH without any severe morbidity or mortality.ConclusionsLPDF is a safe and effective technique, it reduces the difficulties in inflow occlusion in GPA and can promote the application of ALH. Further clinical control trails are needed to validate the superiority of LPDF compared with GPA in ALH.

Laparoscopic approach in the treatment of splenic angiolipomatous hamartoma: the first report of a case.

Project description:Angiolipomatous hamartoma is a benign mesenchymal proliferation of unknown aetiology. Only a few cases have been documented in the published literature. This current case report describes a 57-year-old female patient who was hospitalized for an assessment of a previously radiologically-verified splenic lesion and further treatment. The patient had been surgically treated 10 years previously; a lobectomy of the superior left pulmonary lobe had been performed in order to remove a verified tumour lesion. A complete radiological examination was undertaken, which verified a spleen of a size that was within the physiological range, with a centrally-located lobular tumour lesion. Given the risk of splenic rupture, as well as the fact that the lesion's aetiology was still undetermined, and finally the fact that differential diagnostics indicated the possibility of a metastasis, the patient was treated surgically. Laparoscopic splenectomy, in the treatment of splenic diseases, even rare ones such as this, is not a novelty. Indeed, it needs to be applied as the standard approach, with the well-known benefits that the minimalized approach offers.

OUR FIRST HUNDRED LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMIES.

Project description:Hundred patients with symptomatic gallstone disease underwent laparosopic cholecystectomy between June 1996 and August 1997. There were 78 females and 22 males, with a mean age of 46.2 (SD 17.8; range 21 to 85) years. The common presentations were right upper abdominal pain (n=66), acute cholecystitis (n=8) and history of jaundice (n=11). Sixteen patients underwent ERCP for suspected CBD stones. Endoscopic papillotomy and basketing cleared the CBD of all calculi in 12. Three patients required conversion to open cholecystectomy because of dense adhesions (n=2) and to control intraoperative haemorrhage (n=1). Mean operating time was 67.2 (SD 39.2; range 22 to 186) minutes. The mean requirement of analgesics was 2.8 (SD 1.3; range 2 to 5) doses and post-operative hospital stay was 1.6 (SD 1.4; range 1 to 7) days. All patients resumed normal activity within 14 days of operation and are well and satisfied with their operation at a median follow up of 8.6 months.

Laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy guided by real-time indocyanine green fluorescence imaging using the arantius-first approach

Project description:Background and objective Laparoscopic hepatectomy approaches, including major hepatectomy, were rapidly developed in the past decade. However, standard laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (LLH) is still only performed in high-volume medical centres. In our series, we describe our technical details and surgical outcomes of LLH. Methods Thirty-nine patients who underwent LLH in our institute were enrolled in the study. Among these, 13 patients underwent LLH guided by real-time ICG fluorescence imaging using the Arantius-first approach (ICG-LLH group), and the other 26 underwent conventional LLH (conventional LLH group). Demographic characteristics and perioperative data were retrospectively collected and analysed. We compared the technical and postoperative short-term outcomes of the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in the demographic or clinicopathological characteristics of the patients in the two groups. ICG-LLH required significantly fewer pringle manoeuvres (1 vs. 3 times, p < 0.0001), had a shorter parenchyma dissection time (26 vs. 78 min, p < 0.001), and required fewer vessel clips (18 vs. 28, p < 0.001). Although there was no significant difference, the ICG-LLH group had less bile leakage (0 vs. 5, p = 0.09) and less blood loss (120 vs. 165, p = 0.119). There were no significant differences in the overall complication or R0 resection rates between the two groups. Conclusion Our data demonstrate that laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy guided by real-time ICG fluorescence imaging using the Arantius-first approach is safe and feasible in selected patients, thus improving the fluency of the surgical procedure and postoperative short-term outcomes.

Left posterior superior mesenteric artery first approach and circumferential lymphadenectomy with total mesopancreas dissection in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) left posterior first approach and circumferential lymphadenectomy with total meso-pancreas (MP) dissection for periampullary malignancies.Methods31 patients who underwent LPD with left posterior SMA first-approach and circumferential lymphadenectomy with total MP dissection between September 2021 and September 2023. General characteristics, operative techniques, short-term outcomes and pathological results were prospectively evaluated.ResultsThe mean operation time and SMA first-approach time were 441.9 ± 73.7 min and 99.9 ± 27.7 min, respectively. The median intraoperative blood loss was 143 ml (range: 50-1500 ml). The median number of total LNs and left-sided SMA LNs harvested were 32,7 ± 13 (16-74) and 7,4 ± 6 (range: 3-30), respectively. The rate of metastatic left-sided SMA LNs and meso-pancreas were 25.8% and 22.6%, respectively. 22.6% of patients had pancreatic fistula, but mostly in grade A, with only one case that required conversion. Only one case developed postoperative refractory diarrhea. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 14.1 days. No 90-day mortality was reported.ConclusionLPD with left posterior SMA first-approach and circumferential lymphadenectomy with total MP dissection was safe and effective with favorable short-term outcomes.
