Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility and ways of closed establishment of pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic procedures in patients with a history of abdominal surgery. [WT5”HZ]Methods[WT5”BZ] Between September 1991 and December 1998, 963 patients with a history of abdominal surgery received closed establishment of pneumoperitoneum. The difficulties with closed establishment were classified as false and real types. Veress needle penetrating into falciform ligament, mesentery, great omentum or retroperitoneal fat tissue caused false difficulty, while the difficulty due to Veress needle penetrating into abdominal viscera or because of extensive adhesion was known as real difficulty.[WT5”HZ] Results[WT5”BZ] 18 cases for false and real difficulty were transfered to open surgery.Two cases suffered visceral injuries for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, including jejunum and ileum injuries in one each case. The occurrence rate of visceral injuries accounted for 0 2% in this group.[WT5”HZ] Conclusion[WT5”BZ] This result demonstrates that closed establishment of pneumoperitoneum is safe and feasible in most patients with abdominal operative history. Abiding by the rule of closed establishment pneumoperitoneum and conversion to laparotomy in time in real difficulty is important to avoid visceral injuries.
