Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the safety, feasibility, and possible advantages of the cystic plate approach during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a retrospective cohort of surgical patients.
Methods: We summarized the key points of the technical approach, retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of 156 patients in the cystic plate approach group from July 2018 to July 2023, and compared the findings with those of 173 cases in the routine approach group from the same period.
Results: We observed no differences in the average stone size, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, conversion rate, complications, or Visual Analog Scale pain scores on the second day of surgery between the two groups (p = 0.076, 0.067, 0.278, 1.000, 0.633, and 0.131, respectively). However, intraoperative blood loss, number of clips used, volume of postoperative drainage fluid, and Visual Analog Scale pain scores on the day of surgery in the cystic plate approach group were significantly lower than those in the routine approach group (p = 0.000, 0.031, 0.027, and 0.021, respectively).
Conclusions: The cystic plate approach is a safe, feasible, and effective approach that has the advantages of minimal invasiveness with less bleeding and seepage, reduced use of biological clips, and less pain, potentially minimizing the risk of iatrogenic biliary injury.
Trial registration: This study was registered at the International Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100052860). Registration date: November 6, 2021.
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
