Objective To explore the operative main point and clinical effects of laparoscopic treatment for hepatic cyst. Methods Between August 2006 and April 2009, Forty-eight cases of laparoscopic treatment for hepatic cyst were performed, and the data were analyzed retrospectively. Of these treatments, there were laparoscopic fenestration (46 cases) and laparoscopic anatomical resection of left hepatic lobe (2 cases). Of the patients, there were solitary cyst (41 cases) and multiple cyst (7 cases). Results Fortyeight cases all performed laparoscopic treatment successfully. There were no converting to open operation, no biliary leakage and no bleeding. Except for resection of left hepatic lobe, the operating time was 30 -96 minutes (mean, 45 minutes), the intraoperative blood loss was 10 -90 mL (mean, 26 mL) and the postoperative hospital stay was 3 - 9 days (mean, 5 days). All the 48 patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months (mean, 32 months), 2 cases were found recurrence. Conclusions Affluent experience and proper standard of operation are key points for avoiding recurrence and complication in laparoscopic treatment for hepatic cyst. Laparoscopic treatment for hepatic cyst is safe, characterized by less pain and rapid recovery.

Objective To explore the operative main points and clinical effects of LC treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis. Methods Between August 2006 and June 2008, LC treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis in 120 cases as performed, the data of which were analyzed retrospectively. Of these patients, there were gallbladder with adherent omentum (72 cases), gallbladder with adherent hepatic flexture of the colon (9 cases), gallbladder with duodenum (5 cases), obstruction of the cystic duet by a gllstone (68 cases), and Mirizzi syndrome(2 cases). Results All the 120 cases performed LC successfully. There were no converting to open operation, and no biliary leakage. The mean operating time was (45. 0 ± 13. 1) minutes. Conclusions Acute calculous cholecystitis was not a contraindication for LC. Rich experience and skilled technique were key points for the success of operation. It shows advantages of less pain, less complications and more rapid recovery.
