Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the safety and feasibility of modified handassisted laparoscopic surgery (MHALS) in the abdominal surgery.
Methods:The clinical data of 8 patients who underwent longsleeved MHALS at the First People′s Hospital of Foshan between September 2014 and January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 8 patients, right liver cancer with intrahepatic metastasis was found in 2 patients, left liver cancer in 1 patient, hepatic peripheral nerve sheath tumor in 1 patient, left retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in 1 patient, extraand intrahepatic cholangiolithiasis in 1 patient, choledochocyst in 1 patient and ampulla cancer in 1 patient. Laparoscopic protection sleeve went through the middle of incisionretractor, and then wrapped around it about 10 cm. Incisionretractor was fixed at the abdominal incision firstly, laparoscopic procedures were performed when the wrist of assisted hand was bound and fixed by the distal of sleeve.The patients were followed up by out patient examination and telephone interview till March 2015.
Results:All the 8 patients underwent successful MHALS, including 1 of right hemihepatectomy in situ, 1 of ligation of right portal vein+left liver split (the patient gave up twostage operation due to intractable ascites and elevated bilirubin), 1 of hepatic left lateral lobectomy (the patient underwent hemostatic sutures in open surgery due to hemorrhage of liver′s cutting surface), 1 of hepatic peripheral nerve sheath tumor resection, 1 of left retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma resection, 1 of choledocholithotomy+left hepatectomy+cholecystectomy+T tube drainage, 1 of choledochocyst+biliary enteric drainage and 1 of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Four patients had assisted incision of 4 cm, and another 4 patients of 7 cm. Eight patients were followed up for a median time of 3 months (range,
2-7 months). The patient who received ligation of right portal vein+left liver split died at postoperative month 3, and the others didn′t have recurrence of tumor or lithiasis.
Conclusion:The MHALS is safe and feasible in the abdominal surgery.
