Abstract:
Objective To explore the use and advantages of the Hem-o-lok ligating clip in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods A 3-port approach laparoscopic cholecystectomy by applying the Hem-o-lok ligating clip was performed in 288 patients with cholecystolithiasis or cholecystic polypoid lesion. Results All the operations were successfully fulfilled, without conversions to open surgery. A middle-to-large sized clip was used in 264 patients (92%), who almost had no painful feeling in the xiphoid process incision and had a mean postoperative hospital stay of 2.7 days(1~3 days). A large sized clip was successfully utilized in 24 patients because of the difficulty encountered during the ligation using the middle-to-large sized clip. No hemorrhage, biliary leakage, or bile duct injuries happened. Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the middle-to-large sized ~Hem-o -lok ligating clip and other routine laparoscopic devices can minimize the xiphoid process incision as short as 5 mm.
