Aim: To compare the number of attempts at creating pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic cholecystectomy using direct trocar versus veress needle insertion techniques. Design: Randomized controlled trial Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery, Allama Iqbal Memorial Hospital Sialkot and Govt. Sardar Begum Teaching Hospital, Sialkot from 27th September 2017 to 26th September 2020. Methodology: Six hundred and eight patients of both male and female patients, having uncomplicated cholelithiasis were selected. All participants were randomized into two equal groups, Group A (direct trocarInsertion) and the Group B (veress needle insertion). All trocars and veress needle used were disposable, with a safety shield. All procedures were carried out by the single experienced surgeons and his team. Data was noted, regarding age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and the number of attempts to create the successful pneumoperitoneum. Results: The number of attempts to create successful pneumoperitoneum in DTI group was significantly feweras compared to VNI group (p=0.026) but we found no statisticallysignificant difference between age, gender, and body mass index. Conclusion: The direct trocar insertion is a safe alternative to veress needle insertion in laparoscopic cholecystectomy because it requires fewernumber of attempts for successful creation of pneumoperitoneum as compared to the veress needle.

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.

Background: The presence of defects in native umbilical in adults and its use as laparoscopic first entry site is poorly documented. It would likely be a safer method than the Veress needle and direct trocar insertion. This work aimed to report the prevalence and size of native umbilical defects, and their relationship with gender, age and body mass index. Methods: In 160 consecutive laparoscopic operations, a trans-umbilical incision was made and a defect at its base was looked for. When found, the defect was measured and used as the first port entry site. Relationships of presence of native defects and their sizes in relation to gender, age and BMI were analyzed. Results: The prevalence of a native defect in this series was 90%. Its presence had no relation with gender, age or BMI. Its size, however, positively correlated with age and BMI. No complications were related to the defect’s use for first laparoscopic entry site. Conclusion: A native umbilical defect is present in 90% of adults. Whenever present, it is recommended for use as the first port entry site by an open technique. This method is simple and safe and avoids unnecessarily inducing another defect.

Background: There are two methods of trocar insertion in laparoscopic surgeries one is direct insertion and second is Veress needle insertion. In this study we compared these two methods.Methods: In this study we divided 50 patients equally into two group group A for in group A patients, direct trocar insertion technique was used for creation of pneumoperitoneum whereas amongst patients of group B, pneumoperitoneum was created using Veress needle insertion technique.Results: The incidence of visceral injuries, vascular injuries and other post-operative complications were similar in both the groups. The present study observed no significant difference in failure rates between two methods.Conclusions: Both the techniques i.e.; Direct trocar insertion (DTI) and Veress needle technique are equally effective, safe and feasible for creation of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic procedure.

Abstract Background Mechanisms underlying the associations of high levels of physical activity (PA) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) with a better inflammatory profile remain unclear. Our objective was to assess the mediating role of changes in body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), as markers of body fat in the association of changes in PA and adherence to the MedDiet, with changes in the inflammatory profile. Method This study included 489 adults, aged 55–75 years, from the PREDIMED-Plus multicenter lifestyle intervention trial. An inflammatory score was calculated, based on 8 blood biomarkers: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, interleukin 8, interleukin 18, monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1, C-peptide, leptin, and regulated on activation, normal T-cell–expressed and secreted chemokine. Biomarkers, levels of PA, score of MedDiet adherence, BMI, and WC were measured at baseline and at 1-year follow-up. Linear regression models were fitted according to the Baron and Kenny framework for mediation analysis. Results Changes in BMI and WC mediated the association of both changes in PA and changes in the MedDiet adherence with the inflammatory score. Body mass index mediated 26% of the association of changes in total PA with the inflammatory profile, and 27% of the association of changes in the MedDiet, while WC mediated 13% and 12% of these associations, respectively. Conclusion In older adults at high cardiovascular risk, increasing PA levels and adherence to a MedDiet during 1 year were associated with a lower inflammatory score, which was partly mediated by a reduction in body fat.

Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract Introduction The majority of institutions no longer offer routine post-operative follow-up after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. National guidelines however recommend the use of post-operative hotlines or planned telephone follow-up for day-case procedures. At a time when NHS resources are limited, a digital solution may provide a safe alternative to telephone or physical follow-up. Our aim was to identify if digital follow-up with aboutmyop.org; a digital data-sharing platform, was equivalent to telephone follow-up. Method Study participants were invited to use aboutmyop.org before and after surgery. Patients were given free choice on whether they opted to use post-operative digital follow-up or routine post-operative care (no follow-up or telephone follow-up). In addition to follow-up compliance, the outcomes measured included 30-day post-operative complications, readmission, and re-operation. Results Of 597 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients who were offered follow-up, 16.4% opted for digital follow-up, and 33.3% phone follow-up. Over 5 times as many patients who opted for telephone follow-up missed their appointment when compared to those who chose digital follow-up (5.6% vs. 30.9%, p &lt; 0.001). Digital follow-up had a high sensitivity (68.2%-100%) and specificity (100%) for identifying complications at 30-days post-operatively and was completed significantly earlier than phone follow-up (median 6 days vs. 13.5 days, p = 0.001) with high patient acceptability. Conclusion This feasibility study demonstrates that digital follow-up utilising the aboutmyop.org platform is an acceptable alternative modality to telephone follow-up in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. Future work should aim to compare matched cohorts of patients undergoing digital follow-up, telephone follow-up, and no follow-up as a randomised controlled trial.
