Objective To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of laparoscopic splenic artery ligation in the treatment of hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia in children. Methods From August 2014 to December 2014, four children with hypersplenism and three children with ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) were treated in our hospital.Laparoscopic splenic artery ligation was performed in all the patients.During the operation, the gastric colon ligament was cut with an ultrasonic knife, and the gastric wall was suspended to expose the pancreas and the spleen.The splenic artery was ligated at the upper edge of pancreas closing to the splenic hilum.The splenic venous branches were dissected and ligated at the splenic hilum by using the Hem-o-lok, which leaded to an area of splenic infarction more than 50%. Results The laparoscopic splenic artery ligation was successfully performed in all the patients, without conversion to open surgery.The operative time was 120-150 min ( mean, 126 min) , and the intraoperative blood loss was 10-20 ml ( mean, 15 ml) .No patient underwent blood transfusion.The length of postoperative hospital stay varied from 4 to 11 days (mean, 6.6 days).The splenic length significantly decreased postoperatively [(13.6 ±2.6) cm vs.(15.1 ±1.7) cm, t=3.199, P=0.049], and so was the splenic thickness [(3.8 ±1.0) cm vs.(4.1 ±0.8) cm, t =3.703, P=0.034].Partial splenic infarction and decreased splenic blood flow were found in the 7 patients by postoperative ultrasound.After surgery, four children suffered from fever, which were 38.8 ℃, 39.0 ℃, 38.6 ℃, and 39.2 ℃, with the duration of fever of 2, 4, 8, and 5 days, respectively.All the patients were followed-up for 6 -10 months (mean, 8.4 months).The complete blood cell count was within normal range. Conclusion The laparoscopic splenic artery ligation is an effective treatment for hypersplenism and thrombocytopenia in children.

Objective To investigate whether the laparoscopic portoenterostomy is superior to open surgery in the treatment of biliary atresia.Methods A total of 26 children with type Ⅲ biliary atresia underwent laparoscopic portoenterostomy from August 2003 to September 2005(Laparoscopic Group).The operation was performed under 4-port laparoscopy.The hepatic portal was fully exposed and mobilized and the gallbladder was removed.The cut end of the duct was widened by incising along the anterior wall of the hepatic duct following the excision of the narrow segment.By using intraoperative bile duct endoscopy,the optimal level of resection of the common hepatic duct was determined without endangering the orifices of the hepatic ducts or leaving any redundant duct.The Roux-en-Y jejunal loop was fashioned extracorporeally by exteriorizing the jejunum for 40 cm in length distally through the umbilical incision and passed up retrocolically followed by an end-to-side hepaticojejunostomy.They were compared with other group of 34 children,with the same age range and diagnosis,who underwent open portoenterostomy(Open Group) in the same period,in respect of the operative time,the blood loss,the liver functions,complications,the length of hospital stay,the hospitalization expenditure,and the short-term outcomes. Results As compared with the Open Group,the Laparoscopic Group presented a less blood loss(15.4?5.0 ml vs 33.8?19.4 ml;t=-4.709,P=0.000) and a higher hospitalization expenditure(19 153.9?619.5 yuan vs 15 116.7?898.4 yuan;(t=19.607),P=0.000).There were no significant differences between the two groups in the operative time and the length of hospital stay.The serum levels of total bilirubin,direct bilirubin,ALT,and AST were deceased more significantly in the Laparoscopic Group than in the Open Group.Complications happened in 1 case in the Laparoscopic Group(incisional hernia) and in 4 cases in the Open Group(1 case of acute hepatic failure,1 case of incision rupture,and 2 cases of wound infection),the incidence of complications being not significant(?~2=0.395,P=0.530).Follow-up observations at 4 postoperative month found the jaundice had subsided in 13 cases in the Laparoscopic Group(50%) and in 18 cases in the Open Group(53%). Conclusions Laparoscopic portoenterostomy is a minimally invasive,safe,and effective procedure for the treatment of pediatric biliary atresia.

Objective To explore the categories and precautions of complications after laparoscopic total cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepatoenterostomy for congenital choledochal cyst in children. Methods Laparoscopic cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepatoenterostomy was performed in 66 cases of congenital choledochal cyst from July 2001 to June 2006. Their median age was 3.8 years (range, 2 months ~ 28 years). The choledochal cyst was classified as cystic type in 61 cases, with a diameter ranged 2.5~18 cm, and fusiform type in 5 cases, with a diameter ranged 1.2~2.2 cm. Nine cases were associated with hepatic ductal stenosis; they underwent a laparoscopic excision of the cyst with a ductoplasty. Results The laparoscopic operation was successfully completed in all the 66 patients, with a mean operation time of 3.8 h (2.6~9.5 h) and a mean hospital stay of 4.5 d (3~8 d). Early complications included 2 cases of bile leakage (spontaneous recovery in 1 case, and an open surgery required in 1 case because of obstructed drainage, with anastomotic leakage identified and re-anastomosis performed during the operation), 1 case of hyperkalemia (10.8 mmol/L at 7 h after operation, resulting in heart failure and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and died of renal failure on the 3rd postoperative day), and 2 cases of stress ulcer (spontaneously relieved). There were no infections of the abdominal cavity or the wound. Long-term complications included 1 case of intestinal obstruction (open exploration showed intestinal adhesion and necrosis, and an enterectomy with enteroanastomosis was given). No anastomotic stenosis and postoperative cholangitis were encountered.Follow-up observations for 6~56 months (median, 21 months) were conducted in 65 survived cases, B-ultrasonography found no bilestone, and liver functions were in normal limits. Conclusions Laparoscopic total cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepatoenterostomy is a complicated operation with high risks. Some complications are similar to those after conventional operations, such as bile leakage, stress ulcer, and intestinal obstruction. Hyperkalemia is perhaps the most serious one, which maybe related to carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. It is essential to monitoring hyperkalemia in postoperative period.
