Abstract:
Objective
To study the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.
Methods
One hundred and twenty-eight cases with acute cholecystitis were selected from March 2012 to June 2014. They were randomly divided into laparotomy group (64 cases, underwent open cholecystectomy) and laparoscopic group (64 cases, underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy). Clinical data such as indicators, infection of incision, incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.T cell subsets, immunoglobulin and C-reactive protein (CRP) before and after surgery were also analyzed.
Results
For laparoscopic group, the operation time, anus exhaust time, postoperative indicators were significantly lower than those of laparotomy group (P <0.05). Before surgery, there was no statistical significance between the two groups on T cell subsets, immunoglobulin and CRP. For laparoscopic group, the indexes before and after operation were near (P<0.05). The postoperative level in laparotomy group was significantly lower than preoperative level (P<0.05), and significantly lower than that of laparoscopic group(P<0.05). Three patients (4.69%) were transferred to laparotomy in laparoscopic group; the complications incidence was higher than that of laparotomy group, but there was no statistical difference.
Conclusions
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has less injuries, reducing pains caused by the cut-open and long time fasting, greatly shortening the length of hospital stay, and reducing the the body's inflammatory stress response caused by surgery. It is safe after rich operating experiences and worthy of application with strict indications.
