Introduction:Since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) several modifications have been introduced to its procedure. Main aim of these modifications is to improve cosmesis & reduce pain. Several institutes are routinely performing conventional 3 ports laparoscopic. In modified 3 ports LC, the third port was moved from right hypochondrium to umbilicus, to conceal it in the umbilical scar, thereby giving the three port comfort to the surgeon and two port benefits to the patient. Methods: This observational study was conducted in the Department of Surgery of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College & Hospital from September 2015 to October 2016. After taking valid consent a total 45 patients were selected for modified 3 ports LC. Here we tried to see the safety and benefit of this modified technique by assessing operating time, intra-operative complications, open conversion rate, postoperative wound infection, post-operative hospital stay, pain score and satisfaction with cosmetic outcome. Results: 3 patients were excluded from study due to different reasons. So, among total 42 (N) patients 30 (71.4%) were female & 12 (28.6%) were male. Operative time was 58.48 ± 32.52 minutes (range 34 to 180 minutes). 2 patients required conversion to open surgery. Pain score was 2.07 ±1.71 and cosmetic score was 8.67 ± 1.99. Conclusion: Modified 3 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely with a higher cosmetic satisfaction in selected cases by expert surgeon.

Background: Acute calculus cholecystitis was traditionally treated conservatively followed by open interval cholecystectomy. Laparoscopy has revolutionized abdominal surgeries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard in management of cholelithiasis. Role of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute calculus cholecystitis is still controversial. Present study is evaluating the role of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy as treatment of acute calculus cholelithiasis.  Methods: An observational study was conducted at tertiary care academic hospital and a total of 33 patients were enrolled. The inclusion criteria for enrollment of patients were patient with acute abdomen with clinically and ultrasonologically diagnosed as acute cholecystitis. All patients with Acalculus cholecystitis, Choledocholithiasis, obstructive jaundice, Cholangitis and pregnant patient were excluded from this study. The study factor was standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed within 72 hours of onset all patients. The primary outcomes were operative time, intra-operative complications, conversion to open surgery and secondary outcome was postoperative complications.Results: A total of 33 cases were enrolled. The mean age of the patients was 44.00 ± 12.2 years (26-68 years) with female preponderance Mean duration of pain was 1.16 days. Mean Operative time was 102.06 ± 10.36 minutes (60-142 minutes). Post-operative surgical site infection present with 4 (12.1%) patients and post-operative fever in 5 (15.2%) patients. The mean hospital stay was 5.30 ± 1.42 days. The open conversion rate was 9.1% and there were no complications.Conclusions: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute calculus cholecystitis is a safe operative procedure.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed nowadays. It remains an enigma regarding efficacy, safety and postoperative complications for using suture ligation for ligating cystic duct in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of the present study was to study the efficacy of ligating the cystic duct with sutures in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: This prospective study was performed between June 2018 and April 2019 in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, in a rural center, Kanchipuram, India. All the patients included consented for the study. Patients who underwent subtotal cholecystectomy were excluded from the study.Results: The study included 70 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a single unit. All cases were operated by a single surgeon. Of the 70 patients, the Cystic duct (CD) was simply ligated in 55 patients with CD <5 mm in diameter. The CD in 15 of those patients had to be divided and sutured in continuity for wide CD (>5 mm). The mean time for ligation of cystic duct was 5 min. Similarly, the mean time for ligation of cystic artery was 1.50 min. The mean operative time was 50 mins. There were no postoperative complications, such as bile leakage.Conclusions: SL of the CD is a very safe and secure alternative to the application of metal clips. It can be used in dilated CD, readily available and very cost effective and the complications of clips are avoided. The only disadvantage is that it needs expertise to perform and subsequently increasing the operating time. This technique is recommended in all laparoscopic cholecystectomies, especially in difficult cases.

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The aim of our study is to compare single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) performed using the “marionette” technique (m-SILC), to the standard four-port technique [four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (4PLC)]. Patient information was extracted from a prospectively maintained database (n = 188). Our primary endpoint was operative costs (determined by operating time and instruments used). Secondary endpoints were length of stay, operative time, blood loss, and postoperative complication rates. Univariate and adjusted multivariate analysis was used to compare the outcomes. There were a total of 188 patients for this study. Gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and resident participation were similar. Patients undergoing m-SILC were younger (43.8 vs 49.8 years old), less likely to have cholangiogram (32% vs 54%), and were more likely to undergo cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis (73.3% vs 52%). In univariate analysis, cholecystectomy performed by the “marionette method” as compared with the 4PLC was associated with shorter operative time (67 vs 59 minutes respectively) and shorter hospital stay (1.2 vs 2.08 days respectively). In multivariate analysis, SILC was associated with shorter hospital stay and comparable operative time, blood loss, and postoperative complications. Instrumentation cost was less in SILC (by $94). SILC done by an experienced surgeon with the “marionette” technique on a carefully selected population shows a statistically significant cost benefit while maintaining clinically comparable outcomes to the standard 4PLC.

Laparoendoscopic rendezvous (LERV) endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC+ERCP/LERV) are considered an optimal approach for concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones. The rendezvous technique is essential for the success of procedure. We applied two different LERV techniques, traditional technique and modified technique, in 60 consecutive cases from January 2011 to November 2012. 32 cases who underwent modified technique (group 1) from February 2012 to November 2012 were retrospectively compared to 28 cases (group 2) who underwent traditional technique from January 2011 to January 2012. There was no significant difference between two groups with respect to preoperative demographic features. Although the difference was not statistically significant, the procedure was successfully performed in 31 cases (96.9%) in group 1 and 24 cases (86.2%) in group 2. The mean operative time and time of endoscopic part were 82.6 ± 19.6 min and 26.5 ± 5.99 min in group 1 which were significantly shorter than those in group 2 (118.0 ± 23.1 min and 58.7 ± 13.3 min, resp.). There was no postoperative pancreatitis and mortality in both groups. The mean hospital stay, blood loss, incidence of complications, and residual stone were of no difference in both groups. This study proved that this modified technique can effectively reduce the operative time and time of endoscopic part of LC+ERCP/LERV compared with traditional technique.

Background. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been the gold standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis for more than 3 decades. Robotic techniques are gaining traction in surgery, and recently, the Senhance™ robotic system was introduced. The system offers advantages over other robotic systems such as improved ergonomics, haptic feedback, eye tracking, and usability of standard laparoscopic trocars and reusable instruments. The Senhance was evaluated to understand the feasibility, benefits, and drawbacks of its use in cholecystectomy. Study Design. A prospectively maintained database of the first 20 patients undergoing cholecystectomy with the Senhance was reviewed at a single hospital. Data including operative time, console time, set up time, and adverse events were collected, with clinical outcome and operative time as primary outcome measures. A cohort of 20 patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by the same surgeon was used as a comparator group. Results. The 2 groups had comparable demographic data (age, sex, and body mass index). In the Senhance group, 19 of the 20 procedures (95%) were completed robotically. The median (interquartile range) total operating, docking, and console times were 86.5 (60.5-106.5), 11.5 (9-13), and 30.8 (23.5-35) minutes, respectively. In the laparoscopic group, the median (interquartile range) operating time was 31.5 (26-41) minutes. Postoperatively, only one patient had a surgical complication, namely a wound infection treated with antibiotics. Conclusion. Our results suggest that Senhance-assisted cholecystectomy is safe, feasible, and effective, but currently has longer operative times. Further prospective and randomized trials are required to determine whether this approach can offer any other benefits over other minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized the way it is performed for an increasing number of patients. In this study, we determined the various reasons for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our setup.Methods: This was a descriptive study, conducted at Government Medical College Srinagar, Frommay 2015 to June 2017. The study included 450patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. All patients were operated by experienced laparoscopic surgeons with experience of more than 300 Laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Cases that required conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery were analyzed and the factors possible for such conversion were studied.Results: The mean age of patients was 45.6 years and male to female ratio 1:3.8. The mean operating time was 49 minutes and average hospital stay was 2 days. Out of 450 patients, 26(5.8%) required open conversion. Factors responsible for open conversion were dense adhesions in 12(2.7%), obscure anatomy at clot’s triangle in 6, (1.3%), significant intra-operative bleeding 5 (1.1), CBD injury 1(0.2%), visceral injury 1 (0.2%), and instrument failure in 1(0.2%) conversions.Conclusions: Open conversion rate of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in this study was 5.8%. The commonest cause of conversion was dense adhesions around the gall-bladder. Preventable factors like instrument failure or power breakdown can be addressed by a reliable back up.

Introductions: With the advent of newer technology, the era of open surgery for gall bladder diseases has been preferably taken over by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, certain cases still require conversion to open surgery. In this review we aim to analyze the reason for conversion. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Patan Hospital, Patan Acdemy of Health Sciences, Nepal. All patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from February 2009 to July 2012 were included in the study. File numbers of all the patients were obtained from operation room register. The patient files were analyzed for age, sex, duration of symptoms, liver function tests, ultrasound findings and the description in operation note for reason for conversion. Results: The age ranged from 12 to 81 years with mean age of patients 32.76 years and male to female ratio 1:2.9. The mean operating time was 65 minutes and average post operative hospital stay was 1.61 days. Out of 305 patients, 34 (11.14%) required open conversion. Factors responsible for open conversion were dense fibrosis at Calots in 11 (3.6%), adhesions due to previous abdominal surgery in 6 (1.9%), uncontrollable bleeding in 5 (1.6%), bile duct injury in 4 (1.3%) cholecystoenteric fistula in 3 (0.9%), Mirizzi’s syndrome 2(0.6%). Conclusions: Adhesions at the calot’s triangle was the common reason for conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy. Plain Language Summary: This study was conducted to determine the predictive factors for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study found that dense adhesion around calot’s triangle and adhesions pertaining to previous abdominal surgery were the main reasons for conversion to open surgery. So, before embarking on laparoscopic cholecystectomy, it is essential to take detail history and examination, to rule out the probable cause of conversion beforehand and minimize; morbidity, duration of surgery and cost.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is seen as a gateway to minimally invasive surgery. We defined a new three-port technique with different port sites and compared the postoperative results with traditional four-port LC procedure in a case-match study. Between June 2012 and May 2013, 104 consecutive patients underwent three-port LC by same experienced surgeon. In the same center, 2963 consecutive patients underwent four-port LC, and of these 2963 patients, a matched group of 104 patients was selected. Data included patient age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, history of abdominal operations, intraoperative data about operating time and conversion to open surgery, and postoperative data about length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were recorded prospectively. We concluded that our new three-port technique with different port sites is as feasible and safe as traditional four-port technique.

This study assessed whether a flexible-tip laparoscope improves operative outcomes including operative length while performing single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) compared with the use of a conventional straight laparoscope. The flexible-tip laparoscope decreased the operative time compared with the straight laparoscope. Although SILC has potential benefits, surgeons experience problems for in-line viewing through a laparoscope and from contact of instruments with the laparoscope, resulting in longer operative times and the need for additional ports. The aim of this study was to determine whether a flexible-tip laparoscope improves operative outcomes, including operative length and the rate of insertion of additional ports, while performing SILC compared with the use of a conventional rigid straight laparoscope. We reviewed data on patients for whom we performed SILC at the Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, for the period from November 1, 2009, to February 28, 2013. The information was assessed with respect to patient characteristics, types of laparoscope used, operative data as well as postoperative outcomes. Operating time for SILC using the flexible-tip laparoscope was significantly shorter than with the straight laparoscope (81.5 ± 23.2 vs 94.4 ± 21.1 minutes) as a result of a better view of the operating field without contact with working instruments. Although a trend was shown toward a reduced rate of the need for extra ports in the flexible-tip laparoscope group, the difference did not reach statistical significance. Using the flexible-tip laparoscope solved the problem of in-line viewing and decreased the operative time for SILC.
