Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of direct trocar insertion for gaining access to peritoneal cavity in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: An Observational study was conducted at Surgical unit II Ghulam Mohammad Mahar Medical College Hospital Sukkur from January 2016 to December 2020. Two thousand one hundred twenty (n=2120) patients were included in the study. All the patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Informed and written consent was obtained from every patient to participate as study subject. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 16. Mean +/- standard deviation was calculated for age, first port access time and time to establish pneumoperitoneum. Results: Under general anesthesia with patient in supine posture, abdominal access gained by first making small incision of 10mm in skin and subcutaneous fat at sub umbilical region with No. 11 scalpel and then by direct trocar insertion followed by creation of pneumoperitoneum. Cholecystectomy performed. Study variables included first port access time, no. of attempts for DTI, extraperitoneal CO2 insufflation, port site bleeding, visceral injury, port site infection and port site hernia and were recorded on predesigned proforma. Variables like extraperitoneal CO2 insufflation, port site bleeding and visceral injury were expressed as percentage. Conclusion: We conclude that direct trocar insertion is the safe, quick and effective method for creation of pneumoperitoneum and should be employed routinely in all laparoscopic procedures.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is usual method for the treatment of gall bladder stone disease and is practiced all over the world due to many benefits like fasten the recovery time. Furthermore, it reduced the post-operative pain and period of hospital stay. To conduct Surgical Audit and evaluate safety of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODOLGY: This prospective study was conducted in a private hospital at Hyderabad during free camps of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Four camps were arranged in 2016 - 2019. Total number of 190 patients  underwent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy during the study period. The patient's age falls between 12–65 years. A detailed history, relevant investigation and Cardiac fitness were evaluated. All patients underwent four ports Lap-Chole. Data was collected assessed and audit was performed and safety was evaluated. RESULTS: Total 190 patients operated females 88.45% and males 11.55%. 115 (60.50%)were in  the range of 30-35 years followed by 55 (28.95%)patients in the range of 40-50 years.8 (4.20%) patients were converted to open cholecystectomy, 4 due to bleeding from liver bed, 3 patients due to difficult dissection in calots triangle and 1 due to Empyema of gall bladder.10 patients (5.50%) had Trocar site bleeding, 10 patients (5.50%) had gall bladder injury, in 4 cases had spillage of stones and 72 patients (38.50%) developed umbilical port site infection 1 patient develop port site hernia. No mortality was recorded in this study. CONCLUSION: Our Surgical Audit proves that Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a safe procedure on the basis of only 4.2% intra operative and 5.5% postoperative complications and gaining wide spread popularity among our population due to less pain, less hospital stay. We recommend other private hospitals to extent such services to our poor population with symptomatic cholelithiasis.

Aim: To compare the outcomes in term of complication of Veress Needle Insertion (VNI) to Direct Trocar Insertion (DTI) for creation of pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Design: Randomized controlled trial Place and Duration of Study: The current analysis was conducted at Khawaja Muhammad Safdar Medical College Surgical Department, Allama Iqbal Memorial Hospital and Govt. Sardar Begum Teaching Hospital, Sialkot from September 27, 2017, to September 26, 2020. Methodology: A total of six hundred and eight (n=608) patients, having age 30 to 75 years planned for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, Group A (Direct Trocar Insertion), Group B (Veress Needle Insertion). Both groups had age and sex matched males and female. All trocars and veress needle used were disposable, with a safety shield. The primary outcome of our study was to compare the complications to assess the safety levels, while total time taken by the procedure and mean time for laparoscopic entry were the secondary end points. The collected data was analyzed by using software SPSS version 22. Chi-square test was used to check the significance of variance. P-value less than 0.05 remained the statistically significant. Results: The complication rate in VNI group were significantly greater than the DTI group (p < 0.01), the duration of surgery between the two groups was not significantly different (p > 0.05), but we found statistically significant difference in mean laparoscope insertion time (DTI 3.4+ 1.4 versus VNI 4.8+ 0.7 minutes, p < 0.001). Conclusion: From the results of our study, it can be concluded that the direct trocar insertion is a safe alternative to veress needle insertion in laparoscopic cholecystectomy as it is associated with fewer complications.

Laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity in recent time. An essential aspect of this technique is production of a pneumoperitoneum with insufflation for adequate visualization and manipulation of abdominal contents. Various techniques have been developed over the years for optimal access with minimization of complications. Some of these complications include vascular injury, visceral injury, and incisional hernia. Furthermore, considerations with regards to the patient’s physical morphology, and the cardiovascular/respiratory effects of increased abdominal pressure and anesthesia must be accounted for. The guidelines to optimize patient care in these regards are discussed in this review. This review contains 2 videos, 5 figures, 2 tables, and 79 references.

Background and aim - Cholilithiasis is most common cause for cholecystectomy. These days laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for cholilithiasis. Extraction of gall bladder is an important cause for post operative pain after cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still evolving, the number of ports are being reduced day by day. From standard four port to single incision and using natural orifices (NOTES). This study was done to determine whether the patients undergoing gall bladder retrieval via umbilical port was associated with more complications than epigastric port in a standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Method - 400 patients were selected for the study and were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Postoperatively, port-site pain score assessed at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours by visual analog scale (VAS) score both for the epigastric and umbilical ports in all the patients and other variables are assesed accordingly and the collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Result - The postoperative pain and spillage was more in retrieval via epigastric port with only mild technical difficulty and relatively higher incidence of port site hernia from the retrieval port in retrieval via umbilical port.

A 50 years old lady presented to the Emergency department with what appeared to be a strangulated infraumbilical hernia. She was explored and found to have an unexpected, unusual diagnosis -- incarcerated port site hernia with early features of strangulation. There was fundic part of gall bladder loaded with stones in the center of hernial contents. Gall bladder was surrounded by inflammed pad of omentum. The defect and the mass was approximately 6-8 cm below the umbilical port site incision scar of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, performed 13 years back. Excision of the inflammed hernial contents and Herniorraphy was performed. Patient recovered completely. Complications related to introduction of ports and incomplete removal of gall bladder may present in various ways and sometimes many years after the primary surgery. Methods of reducing the risk of such complications and pathogenesis of hernia in this case are discussed.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a gold standard procedure for the management of patients with cholelithiasis with fewer complications but still port site hernia is one of the severe complications if not treated properly may lead adverse result. This usually results from improper closure or infection of the musculoaponeurotic layers of the abdominal wall. The frequency of port site hernia is variable in literature and its association with infection and other co-morbidities is less explored. Objectives: To determine the frequency of port-site hernia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a tertiary care hospital Larkana and its association with infection and co-morbidities. Study Design: Descriptive Case Series study. Setting: Department of Surgery, Chandka Medical College Teaching Hospital, Larkana. Period: December 2018 to December 2019. Material & Methods: One hundred forty-eight patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies, who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and gave informed consent were selected for this study. All the patients were followed for 6 months. Data was recorded for age, gender, BMI, smoking and diabetes mellitus status. Infection and port site hernia were observed during the follow-up period. The SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis. Results: The majority of the patients 79 (53.4%) were above the age of 35 years. The mean age of the patients was 40.14 ±11.40 years. Females were younger than males. Among them 19 (12.8%) were males compared to 129 (87.2%) females. Mean BMI (kg/m2) of male patients were 25.98±3.53 and female patients were 24.80±3.04. The mean duration of surgery was 63.72 (+18.20) minutes, mostly accomplished is within 80mins (54.1%).  Out of 148 patients in 5 (3.4%) patients port site hernia was observed. In all these patients wound to get infected and surgery was for a prolonged period. A significant association has been found between port site hernia, operative time and port site infection. However, no significant association has been found between port site hernia and gender, age, smoking and Diabetes (P>0.05). Conclusion: The frequency of port site hernia is low but could be disastrous if the bowel gets obstructed. Using good technique and reducing operative time are effective measures in reducing the port site infection and the port site hernia.
