Abstract:
Objective:To study the treatment efficacy and safety in using needle-grasper assisted single-port laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy to treat choledochal cysts in children.Methods:The data of 41 patients with choledochal cysts treated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University and the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021 were reviewed. There were 8 males and 33 females, aged (2.5±1.9) years. These patients were divided into the needle-grasper assisted single-port laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy group (needle-grasper group, n=21) and the single-port laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy group (control group, n=20). Operation time, intestinal function recovery time, gastric tube retention time, abdominal drain indwelling time, postoperative hospital stay, and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results:All 21 children in the needle-grasper group underwent successful surgery without any need to convert to conventional laparoscopic or open surgery. The operation time (156.4±21.2) min was significantly shorter than the control group (218.3±28.6) min ( t=2.95, P=0.017). There were no significant differences in intestinal function recovery time, gastric tube retention time, abdominal drain indwelling time, postoperative hospital stay and perioperative complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Parents were very satisfied with the cosmetic effect of the invisible scar after surgery. Conclusion:Needle-grasper assisted single-port laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy was safe, reliable and the operation time was shorter than using a single-port to achieve minimally invasive and scarless surgery.
